Free slot: Deep Descent

How Deep Descent works

During the summer holidays, many holidaymakers will set down their luggage on the beach. For some of them, they will indulge in an increasingly popular activity: scuba diving. Aware that this activity is appreciated by many people, Relax Gaming has decided to create a slot machine around this theme. That's how Deep Descent was born. A classic 3x5 starting grid, i.e. 3 horizontal rows and 5 vertical column rows, awaits you in this slot. There is a feature to highlight, but no bonus round is available.

The only feature available in the basic game is the free spins offered whenever a yellow symbol appears. Within this symbol, a number will appear, which is the number of free spins you will be entitled to. The symbol also serves as a wild, which means that it connects with all the other symbols in the slot machine.

The only feature available in the basic game is the free spins offered each time a symbol appears.

The different symbols of Deep Descent

Deep Descent is a slot game that features 4 premium symbols. These symbols are so called because they appear less often than the other symbols, but pay more consistently when they connect. They are represented by :

• An elderly man with a green cap and glasses;

• A goldfish.

In the following screen, the value displayed is for a starting bet of €1.

In the following screen, the value displayed is for a starting bet of €1. The other two premium symbols are represented by two different coloured fish: one yellow and the other green. The value shown in the following screen is also for a starting bet of €1.

Four other symbols are available. These are called non-premiums because they appear more often than the others, but pay much less when they connect. They are represented by the symbols of a pack of cards, namely: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. The values shown in the following screens are also for a starting bet of €1.

The different connections of Deep Descent

Deep Descent is a slot machine that works with adjacent connections, which means that they are made from left to right. For a connection to occur, the same symbol must appear at least once in your first three columns. As you can see on the following screen, the left grid represents a valid connection while the right grid shows an invalid connection. The further a symbol goes on your starting grid, the bigger your final win will be. It is also important to note that the connections on the Deep Descent slot only work from left to right.

How the Deep Descent bonus works

As explained in the introduction to this slot, Deep Descent is a slot that does not have any bonus rounds available to you. Therefore, you can unlock a feature that allows you to expand your starting line. During your pay spins, a symbol will be chosen by the slot machine on each spin. On your left, you have a counter. As soon as you get 7 symbols on a single spin, your grid expands by one horizontal line, changing it from a 3x5 to a 4x5 format. In order to pass a maximum set up, you will need to collect 21 spins in one round.

The maximum set up is 5x5. Although this is hard, it is quite possible to get 21 symbols in one round, but you don't have to get them all at the same time. For example, if you get the respin symbol as we saw at the beginning, it is quite possible to get them. Indeed, with each free respin, the number of accumulated symbols remains. It is important to know that the symbols accumulate as soon as they connect. If they appear on your screen, but do not connect, then your symbols will not be taken into account.

Our opinion on Deep Descent

Deep Descent is a very simple slot to understand and easy to play. First of all, we have to underline the very good work done by Relax Gaming, which has perfectly captured the world of scuba diving in this slot. The graphics and the soundtrack are all there. As for the game itself, this slot is a little disappointing, as it offers no bonus features, but only two small ones in the base game. Despite this, this is a slot that is extremely volatile and can pay you up to 18,814 times your original bet. Unfortunately for it, Deep Descent has a RTP (theoretical return to players) of only 95%, which puts it in the lower middle range of slots. If you are a new player to the world of online casinos, Deep Descent can be a great slot to ease into this particular world of online casinos. However, if you are looking for thrills and chills and historical bonus games, then you won't find it here.
