Play Atlantis Megaways

For Atlantis Megaways, when need to dive deep enough beneath the surface to where ReelPlay combines the legendary sunken city with a Megaways setup built around cascading wins and Pearl Jackpot Respins. Our grid can reach 117,649 ways to win, while a separate top reel adds Wilds into proceedings. Rather than finding free spins tucked inside the ruins, we get a respin feature involving treasure chests and four potential jackpot prizes. Atlantis apparently sank with its own ideas about bonus rounds. 

We spend the action inside a submerged version of Atlantis, surrounded by ruined temples, deep blue water and marine life. Our symbols continue the underwater theme with dolphins, octopuses, seahorses and lionfish, while a bearded sea god takes the highest position on the regular paytable. Even the card symbols arrive decorated with coral and seaweed. 

ReelPlay gives the setting a darker aquatic backdrop rather than turning Atlantis into a cheerful aquarium. We think that choice suits the mythology rather well. The symbols remain bright enough to stand apart clearly on the reels, while the temple Wild and glowing treasure chest Scatter are particularly easy to spot. 

We get five card symbols at the lower end of the paytable before moving into marine creatures and finally the sea god symbol. Our payouts below show the values for three, four and five matching symbols. 

• Wild: We find the submerged temple Wild only on the top reel. Our Wild can substitute for every regular paying symbol, but not for the Scatter. 
• Scatter: We see the Scatter as a glowing treasure chest. Landing six or more Scatters triggers the Pearl Jackpot Respins feature, with each chest carrying a potential prize value. 

Cascading Wins 

We get cascading wins whenever a winning combination lands. Once a win is recorded, the symbols involved disappear and new symbols drop into the open positions. 

Our cascade continues for as long as another winning combination appears after the refill. This gives a single paid spin the potential to generate several consecutive wins before the reels finally settle. 

Pearl Jackpot Respins 

Six or more Scatter symbols trigger Pearl Jackpot Respins. We begin the feature with the triggering treasure chests locked in place and receive 3 respins. 

Whenever another treasure chest lands, we keep that chest on the grid and reset the respin counter to 3. The round finishes once no respins remain or every available position has been filled. 

At the end, we add together the values attached to the collected treasure chests for the resulting potential payout. 

Jackpot Prizes 

Treasure chests can carry regular prize values or one of four named jackpot values. We can potentially collect the Mini at 10x, Minor at 50x, Major at 250x or Grand at 2,000x. 

We can collect the Mini and Minor more than once during the same feature. Our Major and Grand can each appear only once during a single respin round.

We work with 6 main reels that can display as many as 7 symbols each, plus a separate 1 by 4 top reel. When every main reel reaches its full height, our Megaways layout reaches 117,649 ways to win. 

We form combinations using matching symbols across adjacent reels from the left. Our number of symbols on each reel can change from one spin to another, so the available ways aren't fixed. 

Winning symbols then disappear through the cascading mechanic and replacements fall into their positions. We also get Wilds from the upper reel rather than the six main reels. Compared with many online casino games using more traditional fixed lines, we find the changing reel heights give each spin a noticeably different shape. 

We'd put these three beside Atlantis Megaways for their mythology, watery themes or expanding reel structures: 

• Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon Megaways: We return to a mythological sea setting here, with Poseidon taking centre stage and Megaways mechanics providing the clearest connection to Atlantis. 
• Eye of Horus Gold Spins Megaways: We get another ancient themed Megaways slot, swapping submerged temples for Egypt while keeping the variable reel format. 
• Big Bass Surf's Up: Big Bass Jackpot Bonanza: We stay close to the water with a fishing theme and a jackpot focused bonus structure, even though the mechanics take a different route. 

We think Atlantis Megaways makes a sensible choice by putting most of its personality into the underwater setting and the Pearl Jackpot Respins. Megaways online slots aren't exactly rare archaeological finds these days, so a decent visual identity matters, and ReelPlay has done well with the flooded temples, marine symbols and bright treasure chests. 

Our main problem with this release comes from the very evident absence of free spins. In their place, the respin round becomes the headline feature, which gives the slot a different rhythm from many Megaways titles built around extended spin bonuses. We can see that working particularly well for anyone who prefers collect style respins over long bonus rounds. 

For us, Atlantis Megaways feels strongest when the treasure chests start filling the reels. Before then, the sea god has to do quite a lot of the heavy lifting.
