Bonus Features
Free Spins + Maelstrom Multiplier
3+ Tridents award Free Spins. Each consecutive winning spin raises the global multiplier; a dead spin resets it. With roaming/expanding Tentacles and Chest Collect, Vancouver-sized tally screens can surface.
Chest Collect
Gold Chests land with fixed amounts. When the Captain appears anywhere, he collects all visible chests; special chests may award Mini/Major bonuses (version-dependent).
Tidal Re-Spins
Locks your best stacks and respins the rest once — a Montreal marathon favourite for rescuing near-misses.
Rogue Wave (Random)
On close calls, a central reel can nudge up/down by 1 to complete a line — clutch for Ottawa evenings.
Volatility & Session Strategy
- Volatility: Medium-to-high — base is pacey; chest/multiplier bursts drive peaks.
- Session Plan: Budget 170–230 spins to see multiple chest collects and at least one strong bonus.
- Bankroll Tip: After a long Maelstrom climb (×10+), many players downshift stakes and reset — a Calgary classic.
Mobile & Performance
High-contrast nautical icons and big buttons read cleanly on phones/tablets. Portrait suits the Montreal Metro; landscape helps track chest counters and multiplier ladders on longer GO Transit rides in the GTA.
