Atlantis Megaways transports you to an undersea kingdom, where you spin a 6-reel layout, with up to 117,649 ways to win. This medium volatility slot delivers exciting wins with jackpot-enriched respins and cascading reels. Discover the mysteries of the deep for payouts worth up to 8,641x your bet.
While Atlantis Megaways is technically sound, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. This is a fun slot with a good balance of bonus features, with cascades keeping the base game interesting, while the respins bonus is an eruption of potential.
Pros
Friendly volatility: The medium volatility is theoretically easier on your balance.
Variable reels: The Megaways mechanic creates the potential for huge symbol combos.
Cons
Feels like a lazy reskin: This slot is a near carbon-copy of another title
Chloe's Take: Atlantis Megaways has just the right amount of style and features to make it an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Whether it was the great visuals, the Hollywood-worthy soundtrack, or the excellent bonus round, I was hooked from the beginning and ended up playing longer than I planned to.
Bonus Features in Atlantis Megaways
Chloe's Take: I was thoroughly entertained by the mix of cascades, respins, prize symbols, and fixed jackpots. The cascading wins keep the base game ticking along nicely, while the respins bonus is where the real excitement comes from and what gives the slot its biggest payout potential. I also liked how the respins bonus made every trigger feel like it had genuine upside.
Atlantis Megaways features cascades, respins, prize symbols, and fixed jackpots.
Let’s look at each bonus and see how they work:
1. Cascades
When you land a winning combination, the symbols that created it will disappear from the reels, and a new set will appear from above. Cascades give you the chance to trigger chains of multiple wins per spin.
Atlantis Megaways start screen.
2. Respins
Land 6 or more chest Scatter symbols on the same spin to trigger 3 respins. Scatter symbols will appear with random prize values worth 1x to 100x your bet.
The initial scatters will stay locked in place, and the rest of the grid positions will respin. If you land any new scatters, they will also stay fixed in place and reset your respins to 3. This includes jackpot Scatters that appear, displaying one of the jackpot prizes.
There are four fixed jackpots:
The Grand jackpot pays 2,000x your bet.
The Major jackpot pays 250x your bet.
The Minor jackpot pays 50x your bet.
The Mini jackpot pays 10x your bet.
When you run out of respins or fill all positions with symbols, the feature will end, and you will be awarded the sum of all the cash and jackpot values in view.
The Mini and Minor jackpots can be won multiple times during the feature, but you can only win the Major and Grand jackpots once.
Atlantis Megaways Volatility and Return to Player
Chloe's Take: The 96.09% RTP sits slightly above the industry average, and the medium volatility makes the game feel reasonably balanced. That combination provided a decent mix of regular wins and bonus hits during my session, which kept the experience enjoyable.
Atlantis Megaways is a medium volatility game, so you’ll have a good time if you prefer moderate risk and more regular wins than higher volatility slots, which can be taxing on your bankroll.
While the base game benefits from cascading reels, you’ll need to trigger the bonus round for significant payouts. With a theoretical Return to Player (RTP) of 96.09%, this slot comes in slightly above the industry average.
How Does Atlantis Megaways Compare to Similar Megaways Slots?
Atlantis Megaways does things a little differently, with a respin round in place of traditional Free Spins. Let’s see how this title compares to three other Megaways slots with non-standard features.
Chloe's Take: The symbol set is made up of beautifully designed card royals, sea creatures, treasure chests, and King Triton, which stands out as the top-paying symbol. Since it pays 100x for six of a kind, I felt the base game offered enough value to keep me interested between bonus rounds.
The Atlantis Megaways paytable features an assortment of sea creatures and the Mighty King Triton.
Triton is the most rewarding symbol, paying 100x your bet for 6 of a kind. This is a more than decent top-symbol win, so you won’t have to lean too heavily on the bonus features for more significant wins.
The most you can win from a single spin in Atlantis Megaways is 8,641x your bet.

How to Play Atlantis Megaways
Chloe's Take: I always get a bit annoyed with slots that force me to go into menus to do basic things like adjust bets or enable autoplay, so I was happy to see that wasn’t the case here. Having the spin button in the center of the screen, with the autoplay and stake controls to the right and the general settings to the left, made everything easy to access without feeling cluttered. The only thing missing, in my opinion, was a speed toggle.
The control buttons on the main screen let you play Atlantis Megaways. Tap the large circular button to spin the reels, or choose automated spins and adjust your bet with the buttons below it. If you tap the menu icon, you can access the paytable and game settings.
This title follows the standard 6-reel Megaways format, with standard features, except the respins round, which replaces the Free Spins bonus that you might have been expecting. King Triton’s symbol is the only one that pays out for 2 or more of a kind, allowing you to claim more wins, more often.
Atlantis Megaways: Theme, Presentation, and Music
Chloe's Take: The sea-floor structures and ocean visuals are a perfect match for the underwater theme, while the excellent orchestral soundtrack gives the whole experience a real sense of grandeur that many other slots lack. It honestly felt like something I would expect to hear in a high-budget animated film. My only gripe is that the soundtrack sometimes cut out or transitioned abruptly, depending on what was happening on the reels, which was a shame since it’s perfect otherwise.
Atlantis Megaways submerges you in the depths of the ocean, where amazing underwater structures rise from the sea floor. The orchestral soundtrack will put you in the mood for an adventure on the reels.
Atlantis Megaways – Gameplay Analysis
The Bonus feature never triggered during the session.
I started with a 4-credit bet, but the session opened with 8 dead spins before a 14.80-credit win finally landed. A 4.80-credit win followed, before another 9 dead spins were broken by a stronger 21.60-credit return. The session continued with a mixture of smaller wins and frequent dead spins, but never produced any major momentum.
Later in the session, I picked up several smaller returns, including 9.60, 9.60 and 9.20 credits, although these were regularly separated by further dead spins. I finished with 4 consecutive dead spins and no bonus feature triggered, leaving me with 4,875.60 credits from a 5,000-credit starting balance.
Dead Spin Analysis
The session featured several significant dry spells, with the longest reaching 9 consecutive dead spins. There were also runs of 8, 6 and 5 dead spins throughout the gameplay, making it difficult for the smaller wins to build any real momentum.
Time to Bonus
The Bonus feature never triggered during the session. With the gameplay relying entirely on the base game, the frequent dead spins gradually reduced the bankroll despite occasional mid-sized returns.
Bonus Analysis
No bonus feature was triggered, meaning there was no opportunity for a larger payout to change the direction of the session. The biggest wins came entirely from the base game.
Results:
Starting Bankroll: 5,000 credits
Bet: 4 credits
Biggest Win: 21.60 credits
Longest Dead Spin Streak: 9 spins
Bonus Triggered: No
Ending Bankroll: 4,875.60 credits
Ended in a Loss -124.40 credits
Takeaways
Atlantis Megaways delivered a fairly volatile base-game session, with frequent dead spins preventing the smaller wins from building into anything substantial. The 21.60-credit win was the notable return, but without a bonus feature or a larger payout to provide momentum, the balance gradually declined. The session ended 124.40 credits down.
Verdict
Unfortunately, if you’ve played Hypernova Megaways, you’ve played this game, just with a different theme. The features, mechanics, max win, and RTP are all the same, so if you’ve tried its predecessor, you’ll have no reason to play this title, unless you’re that much into mythical underwater civilizations.
