The latest online slot offering Siren Song by Yggdrasil Gaming is based on the mythical creatures of Greek mythology. The legend goes that sirens would lure sailors to their doom by singing mesmerising songs and ultimately shipwrecking their vessels onto rocky islands.

It is also fabled that wanderer Odysseus would command his men to tie him to the mast and cover his ears with beeswax in order to escape the songs of the sirens. Though hopefully, you won’t go to such extreme measures as the sirens here play a pivotal role.

In this new slot game, Yggdrasil Gaming has partnered up with TrueLab Games to create a game based on this infamous yet tragic legend. Here, you will be charmed by the sirens with an epic mix of pick ‘n click bonus rounds, free spins and a Steering Wheel of Fortune.

Though the sirens are believed to sing above water, the game takes us down deep into the ocean where these mythical creatures with mermaid tails are helping and steering you into crashing into big wins.

Based on five reels and 25 fixed paylines, the soundtrack does little to put us at ease and the clunk of the symbols as they come to a stop, throw the entire enigmatic and mysterious aura into disarray. But these are small details.

This highly volatile game comes with a buy feature, which helps move things along nicely. With an RTP of 96.33%, it offers a steady yet average payout rate.

The card symbols are, as per usual, the lowest paying symbols, while the four sea items pay slightly higher. The harp symbol, on the other hand, can pay as high as 60x your stake for five of a kind.

Siren Song jackpots

Siren Song comes with no jackpots attached.

Siren Song free spins

Land three Pearl Scatters anywhere on the reels to kick start the free spins bonus round. You are immediately rewarded with eight free spins and the option to pick between three various free spins options as follows:

  • Crimson Free Spins: This option gives you the option to pick up special Key symbols throughout the duration of the free spins round. Once the round is up, you will be whisked away to a mini-game where a variety of chests are presented.

One chest is always a key chest that awards between one and three extra keys. Another chest is a multiplier chest, which boosts the multiplier for all future chests by 2x. The remainder of both chests are always bet chests, which pay out random amounts of bets. Of course, the more keys you have in your arsenal, the bigger your chances of unlocking a chest. The chests can hold up a multiplier of up to 500x, various key symbols and win multipliers.

  • Emerald Free Spins: This feature transforms all Skeleton Wilds into Sticky Wilds, which stay put throughout the free spins bonus feature.
  • Silver Free Spins: This feature comes with special fish symbols that pay out various amounts. These contribute towards other fish features as well as a win multiplier.

Every free spin garners you 4 or more of these symbols.

Siren Song bonus features

Siren Song does not come with a big range of bonus features but comes with a unique set of features including:

Steering Wheel of Fortune

Once you finish the free spins round, you are given one additional chance to spin the Steering Wheel of Fortune.

You have the opportunity of either winning a coin win up to 100x your bet or else, a win multiplier that is applied to your free spins winnings. The multiplier can vary between 2x and 10x.

Bonus Buy

If you don’t have the patience to wait up for three pearl scatter symbols to land on the reels, you have the option to pay for it. If you are willing to place 127.6x your bet, you will be able to buy your way into the free spins bonus round.

Siren Song RTP

Siren Song is a highly volatile game, so you will have to spin your way quite a bit before you will hit a substantial win.

The Siren Song RTP stands at 96.33%.

Verdict

Siren Song is a thrilling slot game that comes with its own thrills and perhaps, a few disappointments. Aesthetically, the game is well-embellished with stunning graphics and realistic sounds. The sirens themselves are beautifully depicted and always a welcome sight whenever they pop up on the reels since they act as wilds.

If you are a fan of Greek mythology, you won’t fall victim to this Greek tragedy. However, there is a tragedy within the game itself. Although this is a highly volatile game, the free spins round supplies low volatile wins, which is disappointing especially if you have been waiting a long time for this round.

The pick and mix chests also provided ample entertainment, bringing something extra to an otherwise lacklustre game.

As such, the remainder of the features did not bring much to the table. The sticky wilds did not contribute much to the wins.

We feel that the game could have been done with a different and extra bonus round, as it tends to feel dry at times (pardon the pun). We also felt that we were spinning the reels for a long time, almost compelling us to buy our way into the free spins round. There is nothing wrong as such with this, but we were also beginning to lose interest at this point.

If you are into Greek mythology, there are plenty of other slot games that offer better thrills. If you are willing to risk your bankroll, we recommend giving Siren Song a go and perhaps, prepare for a slot tragedy!
