Play Poseidon's Pearls for Free

In between all the coral and aquatic life is where you’ll discover Poseidon, sat upon his throne, his face as steely as ever, challenging you to try and take what’s rightfully his. He won’t strike you down straight away, for he intends to see how far you’re willing to go to get his riches. Though he’ll give you a quick quip every now and again, mocking you for being a ‘weak human’.

There are 11 subjects inside this kingdom that deliver you money and bonuses, some of which are very mundane in their offerings, such as the card values. A lot of slot machines choose to keep traditional icons in their games, with only their appearance changing, and Bede have been no different. You’ll find A, K, Q and J on your reels, with the last letter being the one with the least to give, between 5 and 150 credits; the 150 is a good sum, but it won’t be easy to get the five tiles to actually reach it.

Once those cards are out the way, it’s calm seas to the big leagues, with Poseidon sat at the very top of the pile. Though even his maximum payout is only worth 500, which is relatively low when compared with some of Bede’s other slots. Fortunately the wild and bonus symbols are on hand to increase that figure and make the final jackpot more interesting.

The wild tile is Poseidon’s trusty trident and it will substitute all of the other icons except for the bonus oyster. Speaking of which, this shellfish is the one hiding all those beautiful, shiny pearls. You’ll need to get either 3, 4 or 5 of them for the feature game to trigger, then once it has you need to collect as much as you can from the oysters presented to you. It isn’t a tricky level to play, but it’s tough going to even reach it; if you manage it, you must have outsmarted Poseidon somehow, so well done.

We appreciate that some of you already know how to bet, but for those that don’t here’s a quick summary of what to do when playing Poseidon’s Pearls.

Before you put any money down, players should think about whether they want to play with all 25 paylines or whether they prefer reducing the number. Although less means an easier experience, it also means less chances of getting winning combinations, so you need to think about which is more important to you.

From there is where you set your wager amount; users have a very accessible title here, with the lowest pay-in being 0.01 on every line, though they can speed on ahead to the full 20 credits every payline. By that point you’ll be playing with a serious wad of money, but if you feel you have it to risk and are comfortable with potentially losing it to Poseidon, then you go for it.

In addition to these toggles, there’s also a max bet and an autoplay feature. Seeing as the maximum bet widget is a fairly obvious option, let’s look at what the autoplay does – it will allow you to select between 10 and 100 automatic turns, without any input from you. Some people really like this feature and others go without it, why not try it out and see how you feel? You can turn it off if it’s not for you.
