Theme of The Game
Secrets of Atlantis takes on a theme which appears to be rather popular among developers, though there are others that are much more overused. The ocean life theme and the legend of the lost city of Atlantis are mixed here, and the result is a superb pokie machine.
The developer that created it is called NetEnt, and its designs are among the best you can find these days. Look in the background image, and you will notice an image with the sunken city, with buildings and statues both visible, but overrun by sea plants by now, looking quite desolate.
The symbols start with things like mermaids, then move on to the sea life (crabs, turtles, jellyfish), and finally to jewelry that is designed to mimic the sea life.
Developer
NetEnt is a big company in the pokie machine industry. They might not have as many pokies as Microgaming, but they clearly create much better games on average, especially if the graphics aspect is important to you.
As you will discover in Secrets of Atlantis, they tend to do the features aspect very well also. I’d recommend you give any of their games a shot, I’m sure you will not be disappointed with any of them.
How To Play It
NetEnt has a certain way of doing things, especially when you’re working with the wager values. You are asked to use 20 coins for each level of the wager, which will go from 1 to 10. You can have at most 200 coins in a bet, with the coin value going up to $1. The maximum bet will go up to $200.
The game’s interface is standard for a NetEnt title, with all your options at the bottom, with bets composed of levels and coin values for you to pick as needed. The graphics quality is excellent.
Special Features
Many of the symbols from this game appear to come stacked on the reels, so there are good odds of forming lots of combinations at the same time. Should you have enough stacked symbols near each other, a re-spin feature can trigger, where you get colossal symbols instead of regular ones.
The fact that the pokie can pay both ways, left to right, or right to left, means that the 40 lines offered in this game will be of much more use to you, making wins much easier to get.
Some kind of highlight feature also seems to be offered, where some of the symbols will come with another background behind them, something which seems to happen at random.
Finally, one of the interesting features of Secrets of Atlantis would be the Nudge Wild. This particular symbol is stacked and it shows you a mermaid, occupying up to four locations on the reel. If you get only some of the four wilds visible, the game will nudge the rest in position, so you always get a full wild reel this way.
Maximum Payouts
The initial announcement doesn’t let us know exactly how much we can get from the top jackpot, but they did announce that you can take up to 320,000 coins home. Given the presence of 40 lines in the game, I’d assume that a payout of up to 8,000 coins will be possible from a single line.
Summary
Secrets of Atlantis has a very good design and great features, some of them very different from what regular pokie machines offer. The payouts are an unknown at this point, and might very well be the pokie’s weak point.
