More Game Themes
Last year was something of an unusual one for jackpot slot fans as Microgaming released a very rare additional slot to add to its Mega Moolah progressive network.
That slot, Mega Vault Millionaire was an exclusive game for Casino Rewards customers though, which meant that if you were based at a different casino, you couldn't play the game.
That may have been a little disappointing but you didn't have to wait too long to get yourself a new fix on the most famous progressive jackpot game in the world today as early in 2020, the Atlantean Treasures slot game was released and this is another game linked to that mighty MegaMoolah.com progressive jackpot fund.
The slot, developed by Neon Valley Studios, offers something very different to other MegaMoolah.com games, with just 10 pay lines in play, no Free Spins, but Expanding Wilds and a free respin when you land one of the aforementioned Wilds on the reels. Additionally, you can win both ways across the reels on the 10 pay lines and with symbols stacked on the reels, it is possible to win on more than one pay line on any given spin.
If that all sounds rather familiar, then that is because this particular type of slot has proven to be a big hit, with Microgaming releasing games like Aurora Wilds and Banana Odyssey in recent times, which have the same type of game structure, albeit without the progressive jackpot element.
So does this game still work when the progressive jackpot element is added? We decided to take a look to find out.
Overview
Where can I play the Atlantean Treasures slot?
If you are looking to play the new Atlantean Treasures slot at a popular casino then one great choice is to play at the popular Casino Rewards Network of casinos, of which Casino Action probably offers one of the best value new player sign up offers, which is easily accessible from just a very small deposit of just €£$ 10.
Remember too that once you have claimed your initial 100% Matched Deposit Bonus of up to €£$ 150, you can use bonus cash to play on the Atlantean Treasures slot, and given that you can play from 0.10 per spin, and your bonus spins are credited to you in the form of a cash amount, rather than actual spins, you can use all that cash to play Atlantean Treasures!
Furthermore, once you have used up this initial bonus, you can receive a 50% Matched Deposit Bonus of up to €£$ 200 on your second deposit at the casino. Overall your bonus cash amounts to a maximum of €£$ 1,250 giving you 12500 spins at 0.10 per spin on the the Atlantean Treasures slot for FREE on the house!
Presentation
The presentation of the Atlantean Treasures slot is very simple. As the name suggests it is set an underwater realm, with the backdrop of shimmering sunlight glistening through azure water, illuminating a rather pretty underwater scene that has been nicely animated to make it look like things are moving with the swell of the ocean. To accompany this are some fitting sounds and gentle music which fits the theme and style of the slot nicely
The main display shows the five reels of the Atlantean Treasures slot with the main controls at the foot of the reels. To the left of the reels are the four MegaMoolah.com progressive jackpot prizes, which are updated in real time as players spin on the slot from other parts of the world. Occasionally, you may see a 'jackpot won' banner move across the screen (usually on the Mini or Minor jackpot prizes) to indicate a player has won one of these prizes.
All in all, the presentation of the slot is nice enough and it is quite different to the other MegaMoolah.com linked game offerings, Mega Moolah and Mega Vault Millionaire, offering a nice change of place and also a very different type of slot game.
What's on the reels?
There are just seven standard symbols on the reels. The first five of these are the lower value symbols and these offer a range of wins from 0.5x your total bet, up to 6x your total bet if you can land five of the top value symbol across the reels on a single pay line.
That doesn't seem a great deal, but it is worth remembering that all symbols on the reels are stacked up to three symbols high and as such, you can land several multiple stacks of them across the reels and when you do, you will win prizes across multiple pay lines, which can increase the value of a win significantly.
The lower value symbols are all sea themed and include a starfish, a sea anemone, a seahorse, and two fish, one purple with orange tipped fins, and one pink colored also with orange fins.
There are two higher value symbols, which are the lucky 7 symbol and the Bar symbols and these offer wins ranging from 2.5x your total bet up to 20x your total bet for single pay line wins, but multiple line wins are also available with these symbols being stacked too.
Wild features
The mermaid with the pink/purple hair is the in game Wild symbol and this is an Expanding Wild. As whenever you land a Wild, it will expand to cover the reel and also launch a Free Respin of the remaining reels, with the Wild reel held in place for that spin.
The Wild is only available on the middle three reels, but you can land all three Wilds at once, or land additional Wilds on a Free Respin, which will then turn that other reel also Wild in full and trigger another Respin of the remaining reels. Land all three middle reels Wild like this and some sizeable cash prizes can be won.
Free Spins features
There are no Free Spins bonuses on the Atlantean Treasures slot, but as we have explained above, it is possible to trigger up to three Respins on the reels when you land one of the Expanding Wild symbols on one of the three middle reels on any spin.
Other bonus features
The other bonus feature of the Atlantean Treasures slot is of course, the progressive jackpot game. The slot is linked to the MegaMoolah.com progressive jackpot prize pool and you can land a shot at triggering the bonus game that will see you win one of the four prizes available by collecting a special symbol on the reels called the Progressive Trigger Symbol.
This symbol does not have a standalone spot on the reels, but on each spin it will appear randomly on the reels on one of the standard symbols (but not a Wild). When it does, you can collect these symbols and each one you collect offers you a chance of triggering the Progressive Jackpot bonus game. In addition, the more you bet on each spin, the greater your chances of triggering that bonus increase too.
When you trigger the bonus game, you are taken to a separate screen which displays the Jackpot Bonus Wheel. Simply spin the wheel and when the wheel stops spinning, the color sector that the pointer is pointing at will be the progressive jackpot that you win. There are of course four progressive prizes and you are most likely to win the Mini or Minor prizes, but could also win the Major and the huge Mega prize too if you are very fortunate.
Best feature of the Atlantean Treasures slot
Of course, the fact that this slot offers you a chance at the MegaMoolah.com jackpot prize is always going to make it one of the more interesting and exciting to play, but I actually feel the way the game is structured is what will give Atlantean Treasures huge appeal. These 10 pay line, win both ways games with Expanding Wilds are hugely popular and the fact you can play a game like this, and have a shot at a massive progressive jackpot prize, makes this game hugely exciting for players.
What does the Atlantean Treasures slot lack?
Of course, the big thing that the Atlantean Treasures slot lacks compared to other games, notably Mega Moolah and Mega Vault Millionaire, is a Free Spins bonus game. The Respins bonus does go some way towards addressing this however and as such, you don't really feel its absence in the game too much.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that Atlantean Treasures has proven to be a huge success since its release. Not only is it a great game in its own right but it has increased the clamor for players to play for the MegaMoolah.com jackpot prize and as a result, the speed at which this jackpot is increasing has really accelerated over the last couple of months. This is a slot game which I am confident is going to be a massive hit with fans for a very long time to come.
