Atlantean Gigarise Review

The sunken city of Atlantis has spawned many a legend, and plenty of video slots too. Yggdrasil’s Atlantean Gigarise is set in a visually pleasing subsea world, with schools of fish swimming around the majestic looking pillar reel set. The first thing you’ll notice is the vast, unused space above the active 5x3 grid, giving you plenty of room to grow each reel.

This is the name of the game really, as fully expanded reels is key to triggering the streak bonus game. There are 3 tiers assigned randomly in the base game, while different color keys reveal the respective tiers in the bonus round. You can get plenty of free spins in this game, and 5 jackpots can be landed. The top value premium symbol awards only 2x for 5OAK though, meaning increased paylines are needed for bigger regular wins.

Atlantean Gigarise slot Features

The golden column wild symbol steps in for all regular pay symbols, and will thus help you form winning combinations. The trident symbol triggers the Rising Reels feature, and each trident that lands increases the respective reel with 1 row in height.

This also increases the number of win ways, and here is an overview of how it works (the current number of ways can be seen below the reels at all times):

• 5x3 rows = 243 win ways.
• 5x4 rows = 1,024 win ways.
• 5x5 rows = 3,125 win ways.
• 5x6 rows = 7,776 win ways.
• 5x7 rows = 16,807 win ways.
• 5x8 rows = 32,768 win ways.

Whenever you land a trident symbol on a row that’s already fully expanded, you trigger the Streak Bonus Game. There are 3 versions of the bonus game, namely Bronze, Silver and Gold, and you get a random version during the base game. The triggering reel is reset to 3 rows after the bonus game is finished.

You’ll be taken to a new reel set, where 1 horizontal row is highlighted. You start with 3 lives, and the tally resets whenever a coin lands on the highlighted row. The coins award either cash prizes up to 200x, jackpots or up to 80 free spins.

There are 5 progressive jackpots up for grabs, and these have the following seed levels:

• Forgotten jackpot starts at €40 (expected to drop at €100).
• Rare jackpot starts at €200 (expected to drop at €500).
• Mythical jackpot starts at €600 (expected to drop at €1,600).
• Ancient jackpot starts at €1,500 (expected to drop at €4,000).
• Legendary jackpot starts at €15,000 (expected to drop at €100,000).

The free spins play out right after the streak bonus game ends, if the feature has been won, that is. You can also trigger the bonus round by landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters during base game play. This awards 20, 40 or 80 free spins respectively, and your expanded reels in the base game will not be carried over into the bonus round.

You will still land trident symbols to raise the reels, and different keys on top of the reels indicate which streak bonus game version they trigger. Naturally, the higher the bonus game tier, the more likely you are to win bigger prizes. You can also retrigger the bonus round the same way you triggered it in the first place. The only difference is that you also get 5 extra spins when you land only 2 scatters anywhere in sight.

The 200 Spins Atlantean Gigarise slot Experience

We kept pushing the reels ever higher in the base game, but started all over again when the bonus round was triggered. This happens at 0:44 into the 5-minute highlights video, and we managed to trigger both the silver and the bronze streak bonus game within the feature. See for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

The underwater environment syncs well with the pleasantly dozy pace of this game, and expanding the reels towards different tier streak bonus games gives you a sense of purpose and progress.

The jackpots are not exactly massive, but they still add an extra layer of excitement to the bonus games. The average 96 % RTP means that you’re not paying too much to chase them either.

Plenty of free spins, and extra spins, can be won in this game, which gives you more than enough room to trigger up to several streak bonus games within each free spins round. The regular 4,370x potential is not too shabby either, but the low symbol value means that you will need to unlock plenty of extra win ways to make a dent.

Pros

• Expand reels up to 8 rows and 32,768 win ways
• 3 different levels streak bonus jackpot games
• 5 progressive jackpots starting at up to €15,000
• Bonus round w/ nested streak bonus games

Cons

• Very low symbol values
