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

Introduction

Combining undersea adventure with the legend of Poseidon, this KA Gaming free play slot features an unusual 6x5x5x5x6 reel layout and 4,500 ways to win.

Dive to the bottom of the ocean to discover treasures including barrels of gold and ancient idols. Look out for the shipwreck scatter to trigger free spins and the treasure chest bonus symbol to win big instant win prizes. The free spins are well worth triggering with their 2x multiplier.

Poseidon appears as the game wild - quite fitting given his reputation as the most bad-tempered of the gods - and replaces any symbol except the scatter and the bonus, both of which also pay out a one-off prize depending on whether you land three, four or five symbols on adjacent reels.

This slot doesn’t have the richest paytable around; however, the win ways game mechanic means there is plenty of winning potential and you can enjoy seamless spins on your Android and Apple mobiles and tablets.

Why not take Poseidon's Treasure for a few practice spins and see for yourself?

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Poseidon was the Greek god of the sea and was generally acknowledged to be the most bad-tempered of the Olympians. Memorably brought to life by Ray Harryhausen in Jason and the Argonauts, Poseidon was relied on by sailors for safe passage - even though he regularly caused earthquakes by striking the earth with his trident.

If you like mythology themed slots, Poseidon’s Treasure could be worth a spin. The graphics are gorgeous, with a palette of sea greens and turquoise blues, and there is plenty to discover at the bottom of the sea as you dive into Poseidon's lair.

The sea god appears in the background of this game as a semi-ghostly presence and on the reels as the wild, waving his trident. Ka Gaming slots have their own aesthetic, with the richly-drawn picture symbols that fill the reels - no royals here - looking superb on an HD screen.

The symbols in this slot include a wrecked ship, a treasure chest, barrels of gold and ancient idols - all well worth diving to the seabed for - and the seafaring soundtrack adds an extra level of atmosphere to the game.

RTP & volatility

This slot boasts attractive metrics for most players with 96.01 per cent RTP and medium volatility. The 2.00 credit minimum bet could be an issue for some casual players, however, and the paytable is not the richest around.

How to play Poseidon's Treasure

The KA Gaming user interface is well laid out and makes setting up your game quick and easy. If you haven’t played slots from this developer before, here is how it works:

Overall review: our verdict

Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by Poseidon’s Treasure and found it well worth a deep dive. There is nothing flashy or innovative; however, if you enjoy well-made slots with some decent potential, this one could be worth a spin.

If you are a fan of underwater-themed slots, the Atlantis Megaways slot from Reel Play is well worth looking out for. There are 117,649 ways to win plus cascading wins and respins to enjoy.
