Introduction
Ancient civilizations have always been a source of fascination for humans. From their myths to their architectural achievements, our ancestors continue to inspire and intrigue us today. The slot machine industry has not escaped this trend, with many games drawing inspiration from ancient cultures. One such game is Ancient Fortunes Poseidon Megaways Slot by Relax Gaming, demo Ancient Fortunes Poseidon Megaways an online casino game that combines Greek mythology with modern gameplay mechanics.
Theme
The theme of the game revolves around the sea god Poseidon and his underwater realm. Players are transported to a mythical world where they can explore shipwrecks, encounter aquatic creatures, and interact with other gods from Greek mythology. The underwater setting is rendered in stunning detail, complete with swaying seaweed and sunlight filtering down from above. While some players might find the theme too elaborate or clichéd, it certainly provides an immersive experience that complements the game’s features.
Design
The design of Ancient Fortunes Poseidon Megaways Slot is undeniably eye-catching, if not exactly revolutionary in terms of originality. The game takes place on a 6×7 grid with 117,649 ways to win, which sets it apart from traditional slot games that have fixed paylines or smaller grid sizes. Each reel has its own set of symbols, including card values (A-K), as well as mythological creatures such as mermaids and sea serpents. Poseidon himself makes an appearance in the game’s top-right corner.
Symbols
The 8 basic symbols are divided into two categories: low-paying and high-paying ones. Low-paying symbols are represented by standard card ranks A to K, while the higher-value symbols showcase various mythological creatures from Greek folklore, including a trident-wielding Poseidon himself. Higher value still is held by the Wild symbol (Poseidon), while even more valuable than that is the Scatter (the Golden Trident). There’s an interesting dynamic at play here: basic card symbols are only present when the base game or free spins feature aren’t active.
Payouts
As with other Megaways slots, payouts in Ancient Fortunes Poseidon Megaways Slot are determined by individual reel win combinations. Each symbol has its own payout amount listed next to it on the paytable. As such, there is no overall maximum jackpot amount that would match one of these symbols across all reels.
Wilds
A unique aspect of this slot game is its use of two Wild symbols: Poseidon’s trident and a shell-adorned bonus symbol known as "Free Spins." When either wild appears on the reels, it has two distinct functions. They appear at random in certain locations to act like a multiplier (up to 7x), though they only work this way when appearing on reel six.
Scatters
The Golden Trident Scatter triggers an instant win and free spins as follows: land four Scatters and win £20; three pay out x5 total bet. But these instances are merely for context, since the real importance lies in activating either five trident bonuses (15FS) or five Shell symbols’ 10 FS.
Bonus Features
Players who manage to get at least one of each unique type on adjacent reels – including both wild types and Scatters simultaneously – earn themselves what is essentially " Poseidon’s Fury" bonus game experience: when these exact conditions are fulfilled anywhere, two random values up-to a total value equivalent that can potentially lead as much 32x (for maximum bet placed).
There are several unique special features and rounds available in Ancient Fortunes:
- Poseidon’s Wilds feature : These wild symbols show on all reels after 3+ scatter lands landing either type anywhere.
- Shell symbol ‘Free Spins’ bonus round , as described earlier when any five Shells were landed elsewhere but above other Tridents – giving player their pick of ten 5 additional spins that award extra money based upon winning potential each game provides (or "max" value).
- Wild and Scatter combined results will automatically provide a new free spin.
Free Spins
As you’ve seen already, in addition to having more high-scoring wins thanks solely due sheer variety present within system alone let’s discuss them briefly still, we can explain these bonus rounds further if needed later.
