Amazing Link Poseidon Review
If you’ve previously explored either Amazing Link Fates or Amazing Link Bounty, you’ll already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from this latest slot from SpinPlay.
The game’s title certainly highlights the respins bonus feature, but there’s much more to this slot than that. Modifiers and a free spins bonus ensure you never know quite what to expect next!
Design
The graphics team at SpinPlay know their job inside out, and it shows! Bright graphics and some cool animations make this a game that’s easy on the eye and a delight to play.
Rather than going full-on with the Ancient Greece theme, the designers have taken the oceans as inspiration. Turtles, jellyfish and sharks are joined by the strangest seahorse you’ll ever see - and Poseidon himself has a definite hipster vibe going on!
Gameplay
The bonus features and modifiers are what make this slot seem quite complicated when you first start playing. For that reason, we recommend a few demo spins so that you get used to them all. The first thing you need to look out for are those Amazing symbols, which look like blue coins.
Amazing Link Bonus
Land 6 or more Amazing symbols in view to trigger the Amazing Link bonus, with all Amazing icons locked in place. If any new Amazing symbols land during your three respins, they remain Sticky and reset the respins counter back to three. The bonus ends when three consecutive respins fail to produce any new Amazing icons.
Free Spins
Land three gold temple Scatters to trigger the free spins bonus round. You’ll be awarded ten free spins during which the Poseidon Feature is more likely to be triggered. The trident at the top of the reels generates golden Wilds that are distributed randomly, with the potential to generate some big wins.
Win Potential
Playing card symbols return your bet when you land five of a kind in Amazing Link Poseidon. But you’ll need to land premium icons to get the bigger cash payouts, with the seahorse paying out up to 5x your bet. Poseidon tops the game’s paytable with a maximum payout of 10x your bet.
Fixed Jackpots
The four jackpot prizes are calculated as multiples of your stake:
- Mini: 20x
- Minor: 50x
- Major: 500x
- Mega: 5,000x
You can access them either through the Pick Bonus game, by matching three symbols, or during the Amazing Link Bonus. Filling the entire grid with Amazing symbols awards the Mega Jackpot.
Our Verdict
Amazing Link Poseidon certainly isn’t the first mythical-themed slot we’ve seen with a hold and spin respin bonus, but there’s a good reason for that – players really like them! And this is a slot that doesn’t rely on the respin bonus to keep things moving along. Random modifiers, plus those free spins, all keep the interest going while you wait hopefully for the big wins to drop.
If slot games based around ancient gods aren’t your thing, Amazing Link Poseidon is unlikely to change your mind. But we’ve seen for ourselves just how popular these slots can be, and we think SpinPlay have come up with a credible addition to the genre.
