Traditional players will feel right at home with familiar icons like the Diamond, lucky 7 and fruit symbols when playing this slot. The icons to watch out for are the "S" inscribed gold coin and the sunset image.
The gold coin is the Wild for this game, and aside from its regular function to substitute for all icons except the Scatter to form a winning combination, it also activates the main feature which is expanding wilds across reel three in the base game, and across reels two, three and four in the free spins round.
The Sunset image is the Scatter symbol, and a grouping of two to five anywhere across the reels awards a bonus scatter pay. Three of these icons are needed to trigger the free spins bonus game which awards the player 15 free spins. Free spins can be triggered again if three or more scatters show up again during the bonus round.
Sun Tide is a non-complex, medium paced game that is ideally suited to the novice player. Potential payouts to expect can be anything up to 1222x the original wager during the base game and up to 3333 x during the free spins round.
