Atlantean Gigarise Slot Review

Atlantean GigaRise: Slot Overview

After a long session with other Yggdrasil titles I loaded up Atlantean GigaRise and was dropped straight into a hazy underwater scene based around Atlantis. The grid uses 5 reels and anything from 3 to 8 rows, with win ways rising up to 32768 as the columns grow. Stakes run from 0.20 up to 40 per spin, paired with a 96 percent RTP and low to medium volatility.

From the first few hundred spins I felt that Atlantean GigaRise behaves more like a relaxed jackpot hunt than a brutal high variance slot. Around 3.8 percent of every stake goes into the five progressive pots, so a fair slice of value sits there rather than in huge line hits. Regular wins felt fairly modest, while the headline 4370x figure sits outside the jackpot game.

Atlantean GigaRise: Slot Features

The main mechanic in Atlantean GigaRise is Rising Reels driven by golden trident symbols. When one lands its reel climbs by a step, adding positions and extra win ways. The starting layout of 4 5 6 3 7 rows soon shifts as tridents appear. Reel heights stay between base game spins and only drop back to standard once a bonus round has finished.

Hitting a trident on a reel that has already reached 8 rows is what finally triggers the bonus game. I have seen four versions of it, labelled Bronze, Silver, Gold and Legendary, each giving a different spread of cash amounts, free spins and jackpots on the special row. You start with three lives, lose one on blank spins and reset back to three whenever a prize symbol lands.

Those free spins you win in the bonus play out after the pick session, but scatters in the base game can send you there as well. Landing three, four or five clam scatters has given me 20, 40 or 80 free spins, with retriggers handing out the same packages and even 5 spins for just two scatters. Rising Reels stay active so you can build the grid and retrigger the bonus again.

Atlantean GigaRise: Slot Verdict

After plenty of time under the waves I would call Atlantean GigaRise a laid back jackpot slot rather than a full on high volatility thriller. The progressive pots carry a lot of the excitement, even if the top one can look quite small compared with the maximum bet. Non jackpot wins cap out at 4370x, which is fine when the reels behave, but many spins can feel slow and quiet.

Atlantean Gigarise Slot Overview

Yggdrasil frame Atlantean Gigarise around the classic Atlantis myth, with chatter about Plato, a proud civilisation and Zeus sinking a continent after moral decay. When I spin here I do get a slight storybook feeling, thanks to the marble pillars, distant mountains and coral covered ruins in the background. The whole thing plays out under soft blue light, with fish drifting lazily past the reels between spins.

Under the water themed wrapping Atlantean Gigarise runs on a fairly classic Yggdrasil maths setup. You have 5 reels with between 3 and 8 rows, giving up to 32768 paylines. Stakes range from a 0.20 minimum bet through to 40 per spin. The stated RTP sits at 96 percent with low to medium volatility, a 22.09 percent hit frequency and a maximum win of 4370x excluding any jackpot.

Atlantean Gigarise Slot Information

On the reels of Atlantean Gigarise you create wins by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the far left. Row height does not matter for the payout, it simply adds more winning routes when the grid grows. I like how the game keeps that standard left to right system familiar, even while the columns themselves keep stretching higher with the trident mechanic.

Low paying symbols are the card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A, which tick over quite often when the hit rate behaves. The higher paying set shows a pot, lyre, sword with shield, helmet and a golden jewellery piece. The wild is a golden pillar with Wild written on it, the scatter is a clam with a big white pearl and the trident and jackpot emblems handle the features.

Atlantean Gigarise Slot Features

Feature wise Atlantean Gigarise packs Rising Reels, a separate bonus game, free spins and five progressive jackpots. Trident symbols fuel the reel growth and bonus triggers, scatters bring in the free spin sessions and special jackpot icons during the bonus can line you up with the pots above the reels. I enjoy how these parts link together, giving you a sense of building towards something between quieter spins.

The jackpots in Atlantean Gigarise are progressive, labelled Forgotten, Rare, Mythical, Ancient and Legendary with seed values of 40, 200, 600, 1500 and 15000 in cash terms. Around 3.8 percent of every bet goes into these pots and your bet size scales the chance of hitting them. A jackpot symbol on the highlighted row during the bonus awards the prize shown above its reel, and multiple pots in one round are possible.

Atlantean Gigarise Slot Conclusion

For me Atlantean Gigarise works best when I am in the mood for a slower underwater grind with the hope of hitting a big progressive rather than a single massive line hit. The expanding reels, frequent tridents and long free spin batches keep you occupied, even if they can tease for ages. When the bonus and jackpots line up it feels very satisfying, though the journey there can be demanding.
