Here you can explore the underwater world of a cove known for its starfish, sea horses, and corals, searching for sunken treasures. Surrounded by coral reef colonies, in the kingdom, the aquatic siren, with marvellous turquoise bright colours, the reels glide gracefully as if they are actually spinning underwater.
The sound effects of the Ariana slot machine give a sense of awe and magic whenever the reels reveal a winning combination. You can make a splash with expanding symbols; during the usual and the Free Spins, you can take a peek at the bonus round re-triggers or meet another group of bountiful gorgeous marina species.
The game offers expanding symbols, which is not a new concept in the casino world. The max payout here is just 30000 CAD (i.e. 240x the total stake) and the RTP here is 95.48%.
With such properties, the Ariana Slot released in 2015 cannot compete with the other bombastic powerful casino games. But if you enjoy the Medium Variance machines (i.e. with average risk and small-size but frequent wins), you will certainly have blast with the soft and dreamy gameplay here.

Personal testers’ opinion about Ariana slot
- This is one of Microgaming’s games with decent graphics and relaxing sounds, where the developer focuses on the possibility of expanding symbols. Ariana expands anywhere on the reels, while the other expensive symbols only expand on reel 1. When they stretch on reel 1, all the other matching symbols in the field will also expand if they are part of a winning combination.
- Ariana slot often triggered the Free Spins during our tests, delivering an average winning of 157x bets in the bonus spins and 30x in the usual spins. It will help if you stay alert about the mood of the slot by observing the 3rd Starfish Scatter symbol. If you notice 2 Scatter symbols often appear in a row, without the important 3rd one, or if several empty/measly bonus games were rewarded, then it might be a good moment to change the slot. It is an indication of cold behaviour.
- According to the statistics, the chances to trigger the bonus feature here are equal to 0.77%, which means it should be initiated every 129th spin. But the slot is not very popular, so all the analytical figures might vary depending on the prize pool.
