Orbs of Atlantis is not a regular video slot. Instead of reels, gamers will benefit from two paths, where they need to collect matching symbols. Players will need their diving equipment, because we are going to the very bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, to a place where the ancient city of Atlantis is placed. Thanks to the Cascade mechanics, the winning symbols will disappear, and the win multiplier will rise with every subsequent cascade, both in the base game and during free games. Look for the Eye Scatter, since it can trigger up to 1,000 freebies. There is an option to buy the feature if you don’t want to wait for the Scatters to appear.
It will take you a while before you fully understand how everything functions at the bottom of the ocean. Instead of reels, the Habanero title comes with two paths. This is called the Big Reels system. These paths are filled with orbs that have certain symbols on them. At least five matching orbs have to be found next to each other on a path for you to win a payout. As for the betting range, it is extremely wide. Players can wager between $0.20 and $3,000 per single spin.
The visuals are simply breathtaking. We will be standing at the bottom of the ocean, overlooking the ruined city of Atlantis, where only sharks and fish dwell now. Do not worry, you will not have to hold your breath while playing the game, it’s perfectly safe to spin the reels. Two Krakens will be keeping you company during your stay. Five different symbols are present on five regular orbs. The Fire Orb is the Wild that substitutes for all icons, while the Eye Scatter triggers free games.
The Cascade engine is there to help you land more wins in a single spin. Each time you get 5 or more matching Orbs next to each other on a single path, you will win a payout. Cascades will remove the winning Orbs, and land new ones to fill the blank positions. The initial multiplier in the base game is 1x, but it goes up after each successive cascade (2x, 3x, 5x). Beginning from the second cascade, two random symbols will be replaced by Wilds in the base game.
Get three or more Eye Scatters on the reels to trigger the Free Games feature. Between 3 and 8 Scatters will get you 10-500 freebies. For more than 9 Scatters landed, you get 1,000 free games. The Cascade engine is also active during free games, and the win multiplier goes up to 9x after the fourth successive cascade. Four random Wilds are added to the reels after the second cascade during freebies.
A bit of a complicated game is heading your way straight from Habanero’s creative kitchen. It will take you several spins to understand the Big Reels mechanics, and which of the Orbs are regular, and which are Wild. Once you get the hang of it, Orbs of Atlantis may attract you with 1,000 free games available, and the win multipliers, which go up to 9x. Random Wilds are added to make your life easier. If you play your cards right, you can pocket up to 9,300x. There is an option to buy the Free Games feature at any time.
