The sunken city beneath the waves forms the backdrop to the reels in King of Atlantis - symbols include pebbles, sea shells, pots, lutes, gold rings, gem-encrusted crowns and dolphins. The most rewarding symbol is the mystery woman - land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these anywhere on the reels on the same spin and you'll pocket 5, 25, 75 or 250 times your total stake. All of these symbols can land full stacked on all 5 reels.
The mighty Poseidon, who sports a beard that Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses would be proud of, is the game's wild - he replaces all other symbols apart from the bonus scatter. He can only land on reels 2 and 4 but expands to fill the position directly to the right of where he's landed - these wilds can appear in a gigantic formation and take up 2 whole reels.
You can create even bigger stacks of wilds here too. Play at the standard stakes (40p to £800) and you'll have 20 wilds spinning around the reels. Up your stakes to 65p to £1,300 per spin and you can add another 20 wilds. Up them from 90p to £1,800 per spin and the number of wilds is trebled to 60.
The wild is also instrumental in triggering the main feature - land the bonus symbol on reel 1 and a gigantic wild elsewhere on the reels and you'll activate the Poseidon Free Spins Bonus feature. Here you'll be awarded 8 free spins - the wild from the triggering spin will remain locked in position for the duration of those free spins.
The design here is reminiscent of a live casino slot game and is typical of what we usually find from IGT. The gameplay is pretty simple too. The game is really all about the Gigantic Wilds - land a pair of them fully stacked and you can turn all of reels 2 through 5 wild. Land a high value stacked symbol on reel 1 and the King of Atlantis can deliver some mighty impressive rewards. Be careful though – this is a highly volatile offering! If you like the theme, you have to play Lord of the Ocean by Novomatic.
