Rise of Poseidon

Tapping into the rich pool of Greek Mythology, Rival Powered has brought us Rise of Poseidon, a 3 rows and 5 reels video slot with 30 adjustable paylines. Known for his vengeful character and ability to hold a grudge for a very long time, Poseidon was definitely one of the gods you did not want to mess with – a lesson Odysseus had to learn the hard way. With the introduction video placing the slot into the context of Odysseus and Poseidon’s conflict, the reels are placed against aqua marine background, featuring sea animals as the main symbols together with multitude of free spins and a winning multiplier.

The paylines are not fixed and the players can adjust the number of active lines manually through a Trident button on the left. There are no line number requirements and you can even decide to play on only one line at a time. The winnings occur when a combination of at least three identical symbols form on an active payline, from left to right. Symbols with the highest value, or “jackpots” in this case, are The Goddess, The Shark and The Dolphin. Other icons include Seahorse, Turtle, The Ship and Octopus. A special set of symbols are the Poseidon, acting as the expanding Wild, and his Trident, which can award the bonus respins.

Selecting only one payline will allow for the minimum stake amount of $0.01. You can increase or decrease the stake manually, by clicking on the designated “Select Coin” field. The maximum bet on one line is $2.50, with the highest coin value selected and 10 coins wagered on a single line. Bet Max option is also available, automatically increasing the number of active lines to 30 and selecting the highest number of coins per line. The total betting amount can be set to the maximum of $75.00. Jackpot symbols can award from 600 to 1250 coins, but the biggest payout comes with the Poseidon Wild and 2x multiplier, where a combination of five pays 10,000 coins. With he maximum number of lines activated, the theoretic payout can reach 500,000 coins, making Rise of Poseidon a medium to low variance game with 96.5% RTP.

The icons can be easily categorised into 4 different groups. The lowest grossing symbols are standard A, K, Q, J and numbers 9 and 10. These, as well as other symbols, become payable in combinations of 3, 4 and 5. The range of coin value for lower set of icons is 4 to 100 coins, depending on the actual symbol and the number that landed onto the reels. Higher level icons are the Sea Turtle, Octopus, The Ship and the Seahorse. The maximum number of coins awarded for this category of icons is 500 coins. The third category are the Jackpot symbols – The Goddess, The Dolphin and The Shark. Five of these can respectively bring 600, 1000 or 1250 coins. The final category consists of the Wilds and the Scatter symbols. Poseidon is the Wild, multiplying the winnings by 2 and expanding across the reels. Expanding Wild can only appear on reels 1, 2 or 3 during Free Spins round. Extra spins will be unlocked by the Scatter Trident icon. Landing 3 or more of these anywhere on the reels can activate 9, 18 or even 36 additional spins. The spins are retriggerable. It is important to note that the game can also be launched on mobile devices, including Android, Windows and MAC phones and tablets.
