Sea of Tranquility Slot
This is another innovative game from Williams Interactive, which is a subsidiary of Scientific Games. It is the first of a planned series of titles for online casinos that will use the Close Enough feature, where after a spin, Wild or Bonus symbols that are just off the screen can at random count toward the player's spin, resulting in a payout.
Another feature of note is the Bonus Guarantee, which ensures that should you enter the free spins round, when playing at maximum bet, you will get a minimum reward of 5x your stake amount. To trigger the free spins, players need two Bonus symbols on reel one, which starts seven spins, while getting the Bonus symbol on reels one, two and three increases the number of free spins to 10.
Along with the high card symbols, Sea of Tranquility has a Moon, Ship, Owl and Girl, all designed to give the game a relaxing feel. The Close Enough feature has proved itself at casinos, with Robin Littleworth, the senior director for game development at Williams Interactive, saying, "The Close Enough game engine capitalizes on the near-miss experience, which is common in modern slot game experiences, and awards the player on spins that would have just missed in standard slots."
