Fans of progressive jackpot slots and slots inspired by mythology are in for a treat with Microgaming’s Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon WOWPot! Megaways game. Powered by Big Time Gaming’s slot engine, there’s up to 117,649 ways to win during each spin, as well as the chance to unlock one of four huge progressive jackpots amid the backdrop of an enchanted underwater city.

The WOWPot! progressive jackpot dynamic is one of the latest additions to our slot game library, with WOWPot! wins capable of bagging you a minimum of €2 million, as well as multipliers worth up to 18,720x aside from the progressive jackpots.

There’s no doubt that Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon WOWPot! Megaways is a feature-packed slot. There’s a trio of bonus rounds waiting to be explored in this high-volatility game. Below, we explain the nuts and bolts of each feature.

The Rolling Reels dynamic is at the heart of the gameplay in this slot. After every successful combination of symbols, the winning symbols involved disappear from the reel grid to be replaced by new symbols from the rows above. The symbols roll down and can potentially create multiple symbol clusters from a single paid spin.

The golden scatter symbol is the key to unlocking the Free Spins mode. You need to spell out the world G-O-L-D on the reels to receive a dozen free spins. Every extra scatter landed will earn you another five free spins to your total. Multipliers increase by +1 with every successful combination in this feature and there’s even the ability to re-trigger the bonus by landing three or four more scatters on the same spin.

The WOWPot! Jackpot Pick bonus is undoubtedly the biggest talking point of this slot. This feature is randomly triggered, with 12 gold coins displayed on the Jackpot Pick screen. The aim of the game is to find three matching symbols. Each symbol corresponds to a progressive jackpot, ranging from Mini and Minor through to Major and the WOWPot!

Let’s start by running through the ten base game symbols you can expect to find on the reels. The low-value symbols are the animal-themed crabs, shells, bulls, dolphins, horses and octopuses. The higher-paying icons are the gems like the diamonds, emeralds and rubies. Poseidon himself also features on the reel and he’s the most valuable base game symbol.
Look out for Poseidon’s trident, which also acts as the game’s wild symbol, which can replace any other base game symbol to improve the value of symbol combinations.

In terms of bet sizing, you can start playing the Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon WOWPot! Megaways slot from just €0.10 per spin up to a maximum of €20 per spin. All six of the reels are dynamic, which means the number of active rows changes with each spin, giving you a maximum of 117,649 ways to win when all rows are in play.

Once the game screen loads in this underwater city, you’ll need to set your stake size first. Next to your available balance, you’ll find the bet size area. Use the plus and minus tabs to toggle your bet size before hitting the spin button. If you prefer to bet the maximum, just hit ‘Max Bet’ to save yourself some time.

The four available progressive jackpots sit to the left of the reels, with the WOWPot! prize looking very regal at the top of the pile. All four payouts increase in real-time until they are won. As with most Microgaming slots, Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon WOWPot! Megaways can be enjoyed at LeoVegas on both iOS and Android devices as well as desktops and laptops.

Given the theme of this slot, it’s no surprise the aesthetics have an other-worldly quality, with an epic guitar and orchestral soundtrack creating an almost cinematic slot experience.
As this slot was released in the summer of 2021, it should comfortably stand the test of time in the industry for a while yet.

Microgaming are one of the pioneers of online casino software, having been around since the dawn of online casinos in the early 2000s. That’s why their slot games are still in high demand, including popular titles such as Mega Moolah, Thunderstruck and their officially licensed Tomb Raider slot inspired by Lara Croft herself.

If you like the look and feel of this slot, there’s two other Ancient Fortunes slots available right here at LeoVegas. Microgaming’s Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon Megaways is available without the WOWPot! functionality. Meanwhile Ancient Fortunes: Zeus is also available to play on any device, which is another slot inspired by mythical legends, this time the god of thunder.
