Poseidon's Rising - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Poseidon’s Rising

Game designer Spinomenal take us deep into the ocean and introduce us to the God of the Sea in this new offering, Poseidon’s Rising. This slot is packed with special features, and will appeal to players of all levels. What's more, you do not have to wait to enjoy these features, since there is a buy feature, the cost of which depends on the size of your bet.

The 5x3 reel set offers 50 fixed bet ways, with a minimum wager per line of 0.01 rising to a maximum of 10. There are expanding symbols, scatter symbols, wilds and free spins as well as re-spins available in Poseidon’s Rising.

During the base game the bonus scatter symbol will produce free spins when it lands on reels 1, 3 and 5. During different free spin games an extra wild symbol is in play.
Meanwhile the highest paying symbol is the eponymous God himself, alongside the other wilds in the bonus games, with a maximum pay out of x1,000 when five appear. This is also the wild symbol in the base game, replacing all others apart from the bonus tile.

The medium paying symbols are the siren and the mermaid, followed by the sea serpent and the giant octopus. The low payers are a set of playing card symbols ranging from ace to 10. If this designer’s games are among your favourites you will find other Spinomenal slots here at Slots Temple.

If the theme appeals try the Rise of Olympus slot also at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

This underwater theme is based on the story of the Greek God Poseidon, a staunch guardian of his realm beneath the waves and the treasure found there.

The reels are set in an ornate gilded frame featuring seahorses, and placed against a backdrop of a yacht on a storm-tossed sea, illuminated by lightning strikes.

The design of the symbols is very high quality, and the animation which kicks in as reels lock with two bonus symbols in place, and the fifth reel turns into a sink hole through which the symbols hurtle, is a great addition.

In the bonus round we discover Poseidon’s underground city, and the dramatic soundtrack is cinema quality, adding to the atmosphere.

Poseidon's Rising RTP and Variance

The official RTP of Poseidon’s Rising is 96.1%. Although this slot does not boast the extreme variance of some of Spinomenal games, we would still rate it as medium to high variance. Although the major wins are in the bonus game, there are still plenty of healthy boosts to your bankroll thanks to the regular appearance of the wild in the base game.

How to Play Poseidon’s Rising

The game is pretty simple to play, even though the bonus rounds differ dramatically. Let’s get started.

1. When the base game loads go to the top left-hand corner of the reel set and click on features. Here you will access demos of the main features of the game, which are self-explanatory.

2. Directly underneath, in the bottom left hand corner is the bet per line adjuster, simply move up or down by clicking the '-' or '+' buttons.

3. To the left of the spin button is the option to buy a feature and trigger free spins. The cost of this will depend upon the size of your bet.

4. To the right of the spin button is auto play, note this cannot be customised, but can be paused at any time.

5. To the far right is the win box which will show your winnings after a successful spin.
6. Below this is a running balance.

You are all set to go but remember to play responsibly and to set yourself a budget before each session.

Poseidon’s Rising Bonus Features & Free Spins

The Poseidon Rising feature can occur when the tile appears on the centre reel and expands. This causes a series of re-spins with Poseidon moving up a row each spin until he disappears. There are up to five re-spins, and five wilds will pay x1000.

Three scattered bonus symbols produce free spins. There are four different options, and each time you land the option, you will progress to the next level.

In winning symbols mode winning lines will cause a re-spin, with winning symbols locked. New spins end when no more winning combinations occur.

In Shifting Wild the serpent will move from reel one to five, but lock and win a re-spin if there is a winning line.

In Extra Wilds the siren will remain on reel three and between one to six others will answer her call, improving chances of creating a winning line.

Expanding Wilds involves the mermaid appearing as a wild and expanding. During this phase a Poseidon wild cannot appear.

Fans of this feature will find other slots with a free spins bonus here at Slots Temple.

Poseidon's Rising Review

We found this a very entertaining slot, particularly because of the many features, and the regular appearance of wilds in the base game. It should appeal to players of all levels of experience, and the buy feature will suit those less patient. The design is outstanding and the soundtrack had us hooked to the screen like one of Poseidon’s subjects. In fact, we fell for it hook, line and sinker!
