Rise of Poseidon

Rise of Poseidon is a Greek mythology-themed slot developed by Rival Gaming. The game centers around Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, storms, and earthquakes. The slot's background depicts a serene ocean scene, which contrasts with the turbulent introduction clip featuring Poseidon rising from stormy seas to confront a ship of sailors.

The main character is Poseidon himself, represented as a powerful, bearded figure wielding his iconic trident. Other characters and symbols in the slot include various sea creatures such as dolphins, sharks, and turtles, as well as mythological elements like mermaids (referred to as Amphitrite in the paytable) and Greek war galleys.

Core Game and Mechanics

Rise of Poseidon is a 5-reel, 30-payline video slot. The game offers a betting range from as low as 0.01 credits per spin up to a maximum of 75.00 credits, accommodating both casual players and high rollers. The paylines are adjustable, allowing players to choose how many lines they want to activate.

The slot features a diverse array of symbols, with 16 different icons in total. These include lower-value card symbols (9 through Ace) designed to look like they're carved from marble, as well as higher-value themed symbols such as sea creatures and mythological figures.

The game's Return to Player (RTP) is 94.61%, which is somewhat below the industry average. It has low to medium variance, meaning players can expect relatively frequent but smaller wins during regular gameplay.

Bonus Features

1. Wild Symbol: Poseidon serves as the wild symbol. It substitutes for other symbols to create winning combinations and also applies a 2x multiplier to any wins it helps create.
2. Expanding Wilds: During the free spins feature, Poseidon wilds can expand to cover entire reels. This feature is triggered when Poseidon symbols land on the first, second, and third reels simultaneously. Each win involving an expanding wild is subject to the 2x multiplier.
3. Scatter Symbol and Free Spins: The trident acts as the scatter symbol. Landing three or more scatters triggers the free spins bonus:
   • Three scatters award 9 free spinsFour scatters award 18 free spinsFive scatters award 36 free spins
   The free spins feature can be retriggered during the bonus round, potentially leading to extended periods of free play.
4. Progressive Jackpots: The game features three non-progressive jackpot symbols – a shark, a dolphin, and a mermaid (Amphitrite). Landing five of each on a payline awards the corresponding jackpot:
   • Shark: 1,500 credits
   • Dolphin: 1,000 credits
   • Amphitrite: 600 credits

These jackpots are separate from the game's highest regular payout of 10,000 coins for five Poseidon symbols.
