Play Palace of Poseidon for Free

Before beginning the game, you need to select your stake. There are 10 paylines in this slot and you can play as many or as few of them as you like each spin. As there are not many paylines here to play with, most players will want to play them all every spin to maximise their chances of hitting a winning combination. You can also alter your coin bet from €0.01 to €2.00 to give a maximum bet per spin of €20.00. This is a reasonably low maximum bet, so the game is best suited to low or middle rollers.

The theme transports players to the underwater world with all kinds of colourful sea creatures spinning on the reels, along with a stunning palace and a fish-tailed merman. The symbols include a red octopus, pink starfish, yellow and blue striped fish, white seashell and green sea horse. The merman and the palace also feature on the pay table as the wild and scatter, while the high card symbols act as the lower paying icons in the game.

The background of this slot is of course an underwater scene, with clear blue waters, various brightly coloured plants and algae, and some rogue fish swimming about in the distance. There is no on-going music that you often find in similar slot games, but a basic computerised jingle plays with each spin to add to the fun.

The payouts are potentially very generous with the crazy-eyed merman paying up to 15,000 coins for 5 symbols at once on the reels. Whenever you strike a win with the merman the animation shows him in full length, spinning his gold trident. This symbol is also the wild symbol, which substitutes for all other symbols in the game except the scatter, to create more potential wins. Any payout using the wild symbol also receives a 2x multiplier, so this could be highly lucrative if the merman appears regularly for you.

The second-best symbol to watch out for is the palace scatter. This symbol depicts a fantasy castle with a gold surround to the image to add to the opulence. Whenever this palace symbol appears on the reels there is a metallic clang to draw your attention to the fact. If you spin 5 of these palace symbols you will get 2,000 coins.

Spinning at least 3 of these icons will also trigger the free spins round, where you can enjoy 15 free games with a 4x multiplier on all payouts. This is a super generous round so the palace is one of the most important symbols in the game for potentially palatial rewards.

There are a few more wins waiting to be enjoyed from the lower-paying symbols. The octopus and yellow and blue fish both pay up to 1,500 coins for 5 symbols, the seashell, starfish and sea horse all pay up to 500 coins for 5 symbols, while the high cards pay from 200 coins to 250 coins for 5 symbols together on the reels.

Palace of Poseidon is a great slot machine for fans of attractive and fantastical themes, especially those of an underwater variety. The symbols are wonderfully colourful and the merman is a creative addition to the icon selection. The lack of interesting music was a disappointment as this theme is crying out for some magical tune in the background or at least some bubbling underwater sound effects.

The wild merman symbols arrived regularly to boost the payouts, while the palace symbol also provided us with some free spins along with generous multipliers, though we had to wait a while for this round to appear. This slot is a basic sea adventure with good multipliers, which should satisfy most low-middle rollers looking for attractive graphics and traditional, no-nonsense gameplay.
