Rise of Atlantis 2 Slot Review

Rise of Atlantis 2 - Slot Overview

Rise of Atlantis 2 is a scatter pays video slot from Blueprint Gaming that takes place in a submerged Atlantis with Poseidon watching over a 6x5 grid that can grow to 6x8. Instead of paylines, you hit wins by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere, which then triggers cascading tumbles. The game leans on rising multipliers, Poseidon's Call, free spins, an Extra Bet, and a Bonus Buy, with a max win of 10000x your stake.

From a betting perspective, Rise of Atlantis 2 covers most bankrolls with stakes from 0.20 up to 20 per spin. The default RTP sits at 96.01%, climbing slightly to 96.03% with the Extra Bet active, and dropping to around 96% on feature buys, while some operators may run a 93% model. Volatility is rated medium to high, so sessions can swing hard, but the maths supports those rare big Pops aided by chunky multipliers.

How to Play Rise of Atlantis 2

Getting started with Rise of Atlantis 2 is straightforward. I set my stake with the plus and minus controls, then hit spin and let the scatter pays mechanic do the rest. Any spin that lands 8 or more identical symbols anywhere on the reels pays, clears those symbols, and brings new ones down through the cascade feature. The tumbling continues while new clusters form, which keeps even a modest spin feeling quite busy.

You can also switch on the Extra Bet, which costs 25% more per spin and increases the chance of triggering the free spins bonus. In practice, I noticed a clear difference: the original game averaged a bonus about once in 430 spins, while Rise of Atlantis 2 comes in around once in 125 spins. That higher hit rate makes the base game feel more engaging, especially when Poseidon's Call starts stretching the grid.

Symbols and Paytable in Rise of Atlantis 2

The paytable in Rise of Atlantis 2 sticks to a simple structure that works well with scatter pays. Low paying symbols are gemstones in blue, green, red, and purple. With 12 or more of the same gem anywhere in view, you get returns between 2x and 8x your bet, depending on the colour. Because wins start from 8 of a kind, a screen loaded with clustered gems can build up nicely before multipliers even touch the total.

Premium symbols fit the Atlantis theme: a stone column, a vase or pot of riches, Poseidon's trident, a golden crown, and Poseidon himself. For 12 or more matching premiums, payouts run from 10x up to 50x your wager, with Poseidon at the top. Mid-tier hits such as 8 to 9 symbols sit in the 0.25x to 10x range, so the real punch comes when you chain several scatter wins together and then add a serious multiplier.

The golden trident marked with the word BONUS acts as the scatter symbol in Rise of Atlantis 2. Landing 4, 5, or 6 scatters awards 12, 15, or 20 free spins, and extra scatters during the bonus can award 5, 7, 10, or 15 more spins. There is no wild symbol at all, which is unusual, but the game compensates with dedicated rising multiplier symbols that can reach 100x in the base game and up to 1000x in free spins.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Rise of Atlantis 2

Rise of Atlantis 2 offers a default RTP of 96.01%, nudging up to 96.03% when you activate the Extra Bet and sitting around 96% when you use the Bonus Buy, while some casinos run a reduced 93% setting. Volatility is medium to high, bordering on high, so dry spells do appear, especially when you chase big multipliers. The win cap is 10000x your bet, so at the 20 maximum stake you are looking at potential returns of 200000.

Bonus Features in Rise of Atlantis 2

Most of the excitement in Rise of Atlantis 2 comes from how its features stack. Cascades clear winning clusters and keep draws alive, while Rising Multipliers can appear in random positions with values between 2x and 100x in the base game. When no more wins land, all visible multipliers are totalled and applied to your overall win, then each multiplier symbol steps one row upwards until it walks off the grid, which adds nice anticipation.

Poseidon's Call can kick in after a winning cascade and add an extra row of symbols, up to a maximum of 6x8. In the base game the grid drops back to 6x5 after a dead spin, but in free spins any added rows persist for the whole feature. The free spins bonus arrives from 4 to 6 scatters, and retriggers are fairly generous. During the bonus, Rising Multipliers climb in value with each step and can reach 1000x, while three Bonus Buy options (regular free spins, Ultimate Rise, and Poseidon's Fury with a 6x8 start and enhanced multipliers) cater for players who want straight access to the action.

Rise of Atlantis 2 - Player Verdict

As an experienced slots player, I rate Rise of Atlantis 2 as a strong sequel that fixes the pacing of the original and leans hard on its best ideas. The combination of scatter pays, tumbling reels, Poseidon's Call, and those hefty rising multipliers can produce seriously explosive bonus rounds, even without a wild symbol. The graphics, soundtrack, and expanding grid keep sessions engaging, while the 10000x cap and medium or high volatility give decent long-term upside if you manage your bankroll sensibly.
