Power of Atlantis Trio Slot Review

Clownfish are freaks. Y’all love the things, thanks to Finding Nemo, but did you know that clownfish are sequential hermaphrodites? ⁉️

What that means is that groups of these fish have a specific size, and a strict hierarchy with one dominant female, a breeding male, and lots of non-breeding males. If the female disappears or dies, the breeding male changes sex to become the new female. 🤯

Goddamn.

I was going to say that the breeding male is like the clownfish who won the lottery but I take that statement back. If you could choose between being the breeding male or a non-breeding one who has to watch the action, which would you choose?

And it’s this kind of strategic thinking and risk-taking that we’ll be wrestling with today in our underwater-themed game, Power of Atlantis Trio slot from Booming Games. 🎰

Gameplay

It’ll come as no surprise that we find ourselves deep underneath the ocean, among forgotten, ancient buildings. This is where the 5-reel grid lurks, and on it, you’ll see gods, goddesses, and artifacts forgotten by time.

To the left of the screen are some Jackpots – the Mini pays 20x, the Minor pays 50x, the Major pays 250x, and the Grand Jackpot pays 1,000x

Above the grid are the words BOOST, EXPAND, and COLLECT – I’ll explain what these do in the Features section.

Things look OK on a mobile phone, but there is a fair bit going on with the Jackpots and reel modifiers, so maybe landscape mode is best, as all of the elements have the space to live together in harmony. Shoo wow.

You can play with any currency, and this game has 20 paylines, a 95.60% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage.

Features

TRIO:

Whenever 1 or more Scatters hit in the base game, there’s a random chance that you can trigger the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). game – and this is where the Treasure Chests above the reels come in.

Each Chest collects tridents of the same color. When the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). feature is activated, the Chest that triggers will bring its modifier to bear (or it could be combinations of Chests/modifiers).

So basically, the collection of Tridents doesn’t affect the triggering of the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). feature; it’s a totally random event.

HOLD AND WIN:

So, the entry into this round is via the random Trio feature, and the modifier(s) are based on the triggering Treasure Chest.

During the round, only Spheres with values will land. Sphere values can be 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x to 10x, 15x, and they can also represent the Jackpot amounts.

You get the customary 3 re-spins, which reset each time a new Sphere lands. It’s also possible to activate additional Treasure Chests (randomly) during the feature.

And now it’s time to chat more in-depth about the various reel modifiers.

Boost Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too).:

Boost symbols can land when this modifier is active, and when they do, they increase an existing value by the following amount: 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x to 10x, or 15x.

Grid Expand Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too).:

This modifier expands the grid to 6 rows (from the original 3).

Collect Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too).:

Each Collect symbol (it’s a clam with a pearl) that lands will grab the values of any visible symbol. But here’s the thing: symbol values are collected but they remain on the grid.

Super Bonus:

This is when any two modifiers are activated at once.

Mega Bonus:

This is when all 3 modifiers are activated.

BUY BONUS:

Pay 75x to immediately enter the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land.

Performance

The game times out after 10 minutes of inactivity, but other than that, I had a smooth, hassle-free experience.

Maximum Win

The max multiplier is 10,000x, and the max win is $200,000. Betting ranges from $0.20 to $20.

Conclusion

As I have no hit rate info, my ability to fully assess this game is limited but I’ll do my best with the info I have.

So the challenge with this game is that the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). triggers randomly (if you’re not using the Buy Bonus); that makes things a bit difficult when trying to work out a strategy, and it gives us zero control over the outcome.

If we opt for the Buy Bonus, the basic one requires at least a 75x return in order to break even, and there’s no guarantee of that happening. Plus, the randomness of the modifiers you get means that it’ll invariably be the ones that return the least.

The 250x Buy Bonus guarantees that all modifiers are in play but now you’re in the hole for a whole lot of cash. This is the option to go for if you have a sufficient bankroll and you’re an aggressive player chasing the big bucks.

Alternatively, I’d use the 75x Buy Bonus only to break an extended dead spin run. But in my opinion, Power of Atlantis Trio slot is better suited to serious players with deep pockets.
