Waves of Poseidon Free Play in Demo Mode

Waves of Poseidon review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Pragmatic Play has already created a whole suite of games featuring the ancient Greek gods, so the next logical step is an underwater title.

The God of the Sea, Poseidon himself, stands tall over the game grid, while schools of fish and menacing sharks are visible in the background. There are plenty of animations to keep things interesting as you play. The soundtrack is quite slow and hypnotic, and we liked the bubbling sound effect when symbols land on the grid.

Gameplay

Waves of Posiedon is played on a grid of six reels and five rows. You don't need to worry about symbols landing on specific paylines, because they actually pay out no matter where they are on the grid. You'll win as long as there are at least eight of any symbol on the grid - they don't even need to touch each other.

As soon as you hit a winning combination, the Tumble feature will kick in. Winning symbols disappear from the grid and new symbols fall into their places. Bonus symbols and Scatters stay in place on the grid until all Tumbles have finished.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The Bonus symbol can land randomly at any time during the base game or Free Spins. Bonus symbols all carry a random Multiplier of up to 50x.

During the base game, a special Multiplier Reel with values of up to 20x appears on the left side of the grid, and it's usually locked. For every Tumble, a bubble will move up. If a Bonus symbol lands on the grid, it will unlock the Multiplier Reel, and the relevant value will be multiplied by the value on the Bonus symbol. To put it simply, the biggest possible Multiplier is 50 x 20.

If you land four, five, or six of the temple Scatter symbols, you'll bag yourself 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, respectively. The best thing about the Free Spins round is that the Multiplier Reel is always unlocked.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

You can stand a chance to win up to 5,000x your stake when you play this game. As Waves of Poseidon has high volatility, you can expect to wait a little longer to trigger wins, but in general, they're slightly bigger than average, so gameplay tends to be quite exciting. The Return to Player (RTP) percentage of the game is above average, at 96.55%.

You can spin for as little as $/€/£0.20 per go or as much as $/€/£240, and if you want to purchase the bonus round, it will cost 100x your stake amount.

Conclusion

The maximum win of 5,000x your stake isn't particularly generous, but the Free Spins round and the Multiplier Reel definitely make up for this. If you're a fan of any of the other god-themed slots by Pragmatic Play (like Gates of Olympus), you might enjoy the theme of this one.
