Oceanus Rising

Descend into the deep sea for an encounter with Poseidon on the slot from Playtech. Oceanus Rising will take you on a mythological journey that will see you descend to the bottom of the sea before rising back up by scoring wins and respins that will increase the game window to a 5×7 format with an x5 win multiplier. Your bravery to face the mighty Greek god will be rewarded with wins of up to 17,500 times your bet.

Slot Details

Oceanus Rising is a video slot in a 5×3 format with 30 pay lines as default. This can increase to a maximum of 5×7 with 70 lines by hitting consecutive wins. Wins are awarded for two to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. Your mythological journey starts at 0.10 credits and peaks at a massive 500 credits per spin. The game has medium to high variance with an RTP of 95.05%, which is slightly below average.

Ancient remnants of a sunken city with mighty columns on each side are in the background of the expanding game window that in itself is placed on a granite pedestal. Various items from Greek mythology dominate on the reels together with Poseidon, one of the Twelve Olympians and god of the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses. A dramatic soundtrack combined with water bubble sounds provides the main audio.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 5x to 6x your bet for a single five of a kind. On the medium level, you will find a warrior shield decorated with a Greek trireme, a pair of swords and a bubbling chalice. Hit five on a line to win 10x to 16x your stake. The premiums are a Greek trireme and a giant octopus, paying 18x to 30x your bet when five land across the reels. Poseidon himself is the wild and top-paying symbol, substituting for all regular other symbols and yielding 50x your bet for a full line. There are no scatters or bonus symbols on this slot.

Oceanus Rising Slot Features

Playtech created a simple yet suspenseful and fast-paced slot that can deliver big wins on any spin, and that without a free spins round or bonus game. There is only one feature that will have a significant impact on your potential winnings. Any win on a spin will trigger the Rising Respins. The game window will increase by one row and 10 pay lines for a free respin. Score another winner and the process is repeated until the grid reaches the maximum of seven rows and 70 lines.

The second, third and fourth rising will see the win multiplier increase to x2, x3 and x5 respectively. The game will stay fully expanded and the maximum multiplier active as long as new winning combos land on the respin. It will reset to the default once the feature comes to an end.

Final Verdict

Oceanus Rising is a good choice for players who like simple and fast-paced reel action without the distraction of bonus features. It plays rather well and the reels do expand frequently to at least the second level. It looks at times tough to open the full grid and stay there for a few spins to produce anything even close to what Playtech has advertised. You would need a full screen of wild symbols at an x5 multiplier to achieve the feat. As they do not publicize the exact numbers, we can only estimate the probability to be well into billions of spins. Nonetheless, the slot is good enough for medium to mega-sized wins.
