Play Secrets of Atlantis for Free

One of the first mentions of Atlantis was in the allegorical works of Plato, in which the ancient philosopher uses the island city as a means to show the comparative strength and superiority of a true nation state. However, the island is perhaps best known for its eventual demise, after which the gods of Greek Mythology condemn the city to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.

Even to this day, there are people who still speculate as to the location of the lost city, using clues and guesswork in the hope that they might find some lost treasures lurking at the bottom of the sea.

Players who spin this slot machine will not be able to find the real Secrets of Atlantis, but they will be treated to the chance to win some decent cash prizes. Plus, the game is also a delight to behold, depicting all of the ancient mystery that a sunken city should elicit.

The reels are set of a backdrop of the ruinous city that is slowly dissolving in the salty sea waters, with distant beams of sunlight giving the scene a magical atmosphere. As for the game's symbols, there is everything that you might expect to find among the seaweeds, such as jellyfish, sea turtles, crabs and pearl clams. Punters will also come across a few watery treasures with a trio of gems – sapphire, emerald and ruby – that have been designed to emulate sea creatures such as turtles and crabs.

Deep sea spinners will be in with a very good chance of finding their own treasures in Secrets of Atlantis. That is because the slot machine comes with 40 paylines that are fixed into position, meaning that there are plenty of opportunities for punters to find those all important winning combinations of three or more sequences. On top of that, this game allows sequences to be formed in both directions, from left to right as well as the usual right to left. Whenever a win is hit, a line bet multiplier will be awarded from the paytable below:

The line bet options available allow players to bet a minimum of 0.01 credits and a maximum of 1.00 credit.

Guiding players on their way through the Secrets of Atlantis is a magical mermaid character who appears on the reels as an extended wild symbol which stretches over three vertical reel positions. With this icon, players will be able to potentially complete winning sequences since the lovely mermaid will substitute for all other icons on the screen whenever she appears.

What's more, this wild icon will nudge itself into position whenever it is partially on the reels, offering even more opportunities to make a win.

Another way in which this slot machine will help punters is with its colossal symbol re-spin feature. This is activated whenever the three middle reels of the game are highlighted after any one spin. If this happens, then the second, third and fourth reels will become a single symbol which covers a 3x4 square slap bang in the middle of the game screen. The reels will the spin again for free, offering punters the chance to match up the smaller symbols on reels 1 and 5 with the colossal icon in the middle. And if that happens, the wins will be paid as normal, which is to say that there will be multiple paylines triggered for some colossal prize totals.

The new NetEnt slot machine presents a very impressive set of visuals for video slot fans who like their games to be big, bold and full of wonders. Admittedly, the slot machine doesn't have the potential to award the biggest line bet multiplier jackpots in the business, but it will still throw up plenty of exciting bonus action with its colossal icons, re-spins and nudging wild mermaid features.
