Back in the early years of 2000s, Playtech released a game entitled ‘Great Blue’, a 25 lines game with a minimum starting bet of $0.25 per spin. Most other Playtech games would start with a $0.15 minimum bet per spin, so Great Blue was not a commoner, so to speak, hehehe. Getting 3 Scatter symbols would award a free spins feature game...pick 2 of the 5 Shells to determine the number of free spins and multiplier...from 8 free spins with a 15x multiplier, up to 33 free spins with a 2x multiplier. This game became a hot favourite with players very quickly indeed...myself included! There was a time when one local player got all 5 reels of full Wilds, won the maximum win limit of RM250,000, got paid in stages, but then Playtech later locked the game for many months thereafter! When the game finally came back, it never played, nor paid, as good as the original version, so that was very disappointing indeed! I have played Great Blue since its launch, but didn’t play it as regularly as my other few games though, simply because the game could eat and eat for ages! Hahaha. Not only that, even getting 3 reels of full Wilds have now become a real rarity. Yet one more very disappointing aspect of the 'upgraded' game! Nonetheless, I’ve started playing Great Blue once again, after many years of abstinence. Why? Because my number 6th Magnificent game, Dolphin Reef, has been performing quite poorly for the past many months, but Great Blue on the other hand has been giving a slightly better performance, so I’m reliving my interest in the game. Maybe it’ll soon join my Magnificent Six team, replacing and retiring Dolphin Reef.
