Poseidon Slots

Deep beneath the pretty blue waves lies Poseidon's kingdom! The vast seas are ruled by this Greek deity, who has amassed a great deal of wealth in his time. And now, he's decided to share his riches with the luckiest gamblers who play this slot. Will you have what it takes to earn his favour and return home triumphant? Or will you find yourself lost beneath the waves, with nothing to show for it?

Gameplay

We don't have much to say about the graphics. They're not bad, but we can't say we're impressed by them either. Really, the best way to describe them is average. The only thing that really stood out were the cute symbol designs. The background image is completely static, apart from an occasional burst of bubbles.

Of course, gameplay is a different beast. IGT's release is played on a 5x3 board with 243 ways to win. This is a marked improvement over regular paylines, as it gives you more opportunities to win! On top of that, Poseidon gives you the option to pay extra to enable both-ways wins — scoring prizes both left to right and right to left. The actual special features aren't that exotic, but can still net you a cool win. There's a free spins round, and a Wild with a 2x multiplier.

Poseidon Slots Real Money

This slot uses IGT's newer layout. You can choose to stake between GBP 0.25 and GBP 1.25 — a small betting spread. Fortunately, you can improve it slightly by enabling the two-ways win option, which doubles the cost of each spin, meaning players can stake a maximum of GBP 2.50 on each spin.

Your largest win is a five-of-a-kind Scatter prize, worth 100x. This confirms that yes, Poseidon is a low volatility release. The RTP is reported at around 96.2% by some sources, though this figure hasn't been officially confirmed by IGT. If accurate, it would place the game above the current industry average.

Bonus Rounds

Enable Two Ways Win to score prizes both left to right and right to left. This doubles the cost of each spin, but drastically increases your chances of winning.

Collect three, four or five treasure chests to win a cash prize and ten, twenty or thirty free spins respectively.

Every time a Poseidon Wild appears, it will double the value of any symbol it substitutes for. Unfortunately, it cannot replace chests or Scatters, which limits its effects somewhat.

Summary

Honestly, this slot didn't leave a particular splash on us either way. The novelty of 243 ways to win and paying both ways does wear off with time, and you're left with fairly standard special features at that point. The jackpot isn't especially enticing at only 100x your total stake. We recommend it if you enjoy safe, low-volatility games or just want something relaxing. Otherwise, we suggest something a bit more volatile and lucrative.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RTP of Poseidon slots?

Poseidon's RTP (Return to Player) is reported at around 96.2% by some third-party sources, which would place it above the current industry average. However, IGT has not officially confirmed this figure, so players should treat it as an estimate rather than a guaranteed value when planning real money sessions.

Can Poseidon slots be played for real money?

Yes, Poseidon is available as a real money slot at online casinos that carry IGT titles. With bets from GBP 0.25 to GBP 2.50 per spin (with Two Ways Win active), it is a low-volatility real money slot that suits players looking for frequent, smaller wins rather than high-risk jackpot chasing.

How do 243 ways to win work in Poseidon?

In Poseidon, 243 ways to win means that matching symbols simply need to appear on adjacent reels from left to right — there are no fixed paylines to follow. This increases the number of potential winning combinations significantly compared to a traditional payline slot of the same size.

How do you trigger free spins in Poseidon?

Free spins in Poseidon are triggered by collecting three, four or five treasure chest symbols on the reels. Three chests award ten free spins along with a cash prize, four award twenty free spins, and five chests grant the maximum of thirty free spins — each tier also coming with a corresponding cash award.

What does the Poseidon Wild do?

The Poseidon Wild doubles the value of any symbol it substitutes for in a winning combination, acting as both a standard substitution Wild and a 2x multiplier Wild simultaneously. It cannot replace treasure chest or Scatter symbols, which limits its coverage but makes it highly valuable when it does contribute to a win.

What is the Two Ways Win feature in Poseidon?

The Two Ways Win feature is an optional add-on in Poseidon that allows winning combinations to form both from left to right and right to left. Enabling it doubles the cost of each spin — from GBP 0.25 to GBP 0.50 at minimum — but significantly increases the number of winning opportunities per spin, making it a worthwhile consideration for most players.
