Hoard of Poseidon - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Could you see yourself summoning the mighty monsters of the sea to be in with a chance of winning more than 3,000x your stake? If so, you should try Hoard of Poseidon. This is a popular choice from the Red Tiger online slots catalogue, with three wilds landing in the same spin resulting in Poseidon unleashing the power of his magic trident.

If this happens, Poseidon will clone some random chest wilds and the kraken will lock the chests in place on the next spin - just before he is chased off the reels. The kraken will leave a trail of his ink wilds, which can deliver big rewards in this epic mythical adventure.

Theme & story

Hoard of Poseidon also features the kraken, which is a legendary huge sea monster from Greek mythology. It is said that the kraken’s tentacles are big enough to pull complete ships underwater. Will you be able to survive if you unleash his fury?

Hoard of Poseidon bonus features 

Hoard of Poseidon has a range of different features. These are:

- Poseidon, kraken and chest wilds

Like traditional wilds, these can substitute for other symbols and also pay out for matching icons. They also have their own game-specific properties. Poseidon is a 1x2 super-sized wild icon, whilst the other two are regular-sized.

Each wild triggers different features and only one Poseidon symbol can land on a single spin. This is always on the final reel. In the same way, only one kraken wild can land, this time on the fourth reel. You can land more than one chest, with these symbols found on reels one to three. The win value goes up if you manage to land at least two chests and a kraken or Poseidon. You could even land a full house of all the wilds. 

 - Poseidon wild + chest wild

This will trigger the release of sea monsters that can clone a random number of chest wilds.

- Kraken wild + chest wild

The kraken locks the chest in place for another spin.

- Poseidon wild + kraken wild

Poseidon’s sea monsters chase away the kraken. He leaves ink wilds in his wake, boosting the size of the possible wins.

- Poseidon wild + chest wild + kraken wild

If all three wilds land on one spin, they will activate in a set order:

1. Poseidon + chest
2. Kraken + chest
3. Poseidon + kraken

- Stacking multiplier

This is another bonus feature of Hoard of Poseidon and can appear during any spin. It will be applied to your next line win. The multiplier can stack up and reach a maximum reward of 35x.

Hoard of Poseidon review: our verdict

Like the Atlantis Megaways slot, the overall feel of this game is that of an epic adventure. This extends from the attractive graphics to the atmospheric soundtrack. The latter can get a little irritating after a while, however, so it is good that you can switch it off.

There is no doubt that the bounty of bonuses on offer is an attractive part of the game. The wild action certainly adds to the excitement, as does the potential of a decent jackpot. We like the fact that you can play from as little as 0.20, but the relatively low maximum bet limit may deter high rollers.
