Atlantis Crush Slot (Relax Gaming)

The Atlantis Crush slot takes place on a 5x5 grid and uses Scatter Pays. Winning combinations are formed when 4 or more matching symbols appear anywhere on the grid. Cluster Pays slots, on the other hand, need matching symbols to appear adjacent, whereas here, they can appear anywhere (i.e., not touching). The max win per symbol is achieved by landing 15 or more anywhere in view meaning you can land wins from multiple symbols on each spin.

Bets-wise, you can play Atlantis Crush from as little as 10p a spin. With a maximum bet of £100, you may find that reduced to £10 or £5 per spin at some UK sites. On a laptop or PC, changing your bet is simple: use the plus and/or minus buttons or click on the bet amount to see a scrolling list of options. Mobile/tablet players will need to use the Coins icon under the grid. Non-UK players have more gameplay options with Autoplay and Turbo Mode.

The Atlantis Crush RTP rate is 96.09% which is higher than the 96% average for UK online slot games. Relax Gaming has created a 94% RTP version which may be used at your chosen slot or casino site (check within the Paytable).

Medium volatility (6/10), winning combinations will land every 4.11 spins on average with the hit frequency rate at 24.34%.

Finally, the Atlantis Crush slot comes with 10,000 times bet max wins. With Relax Gaming not sharing any max win probability figures, larger wins will come from the free spins which dishes out an average win of 71.03 times your total bet.

The slot games are just the start as Chris deep dives into the slot sites to provide factual and insightful information as to where to play the games he so loves. 

With an adventure theme, the Atlantis Crush slot was released by Relax Gaming in July 2024. The game is inspired by the lost island of Atlantis which is, according to philosopher Plato, situated in front of the Pillars of Hercules. This is near the Strait of Gibraltar (where I’m from ironically) at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea.

With a mountainous and rock island setting, you’ll see the grid set within huge rocks, palm trees and foliage. In the backdrop, you’ll see clear blue skies and hear a pleasant and tranquil soundtrack which adds to the mystery element.

On the 5x5 grid, you’ll see the main symbols appearing on the 3 lower rows of the grid. They include low-value blue water, green plant and red fire droplets. The higher-value ones include blue water, green plant and red fire symbols as well as 3 masks. The red mask symbol pays the most awarding 16 times your total bet for 15 anywhere on the grid.

Look out for the Wild symbol as this substitutes for all paying symbols above. Atlantis Crush has a range of special symbols which appear in the top 2 rows of the grid. I will look at them a little further down in the Bonus Features section. Below is a list of symbol payouts and functions (excluded special symbols):

• Blue Water Droplet: 4 to 15 pays 0.1 to 3 x bet
• Green Plant Droplet: 4 to 15 pays 0.1 to 4 x bet
• Red Fire Droplet: 4 to 15 pays 0.1 to 5 x bet
• Blue Water: 4 to 15 pays 0.2 to 9 x bet
• Green Plant: 4 to 15 pays 0.2 to 10 x bet
• Red Fire: 4 to 15 pays 0.2 to 11 x bet
• Blue Mask: 4 to 15 pays 0.3 to 14 x bet
• Green Mask: 4 to 15 pays 0.3 to 15 x bet
• Red Mask: 4 to 15 pays 0.3 to 16 x bet
• Wild: Substitutes for all paying symbols above

Atlantis Crush Mobile

With Relax Gaming slots all produced with HTML5 technology, Atlantis Crush can be played on desktop, mobile and tablet devices. If you play on an iOS or Android smartphone, there is a Portrait Mode version which occupies more of your screen for a better experience. For the full effect, I always recommend a larger device (i.e. laptop or PC).

Atlantis Crush slot comes with 7 bonus features. With regular cascades, winning symbols activate Block symbols which award free spins, increase the win multiplier up to 500x and add the same kind of symbol onto the bottom grid. These all combine in the 2 free spins features with the win multiplier only increasing for wins of up to 10,000 times bet.

Cascades

As is the case with most Scatter Pays slots, every winning combination triggers the Cascades feature. Winning symbols are destroyed with the symbols present on the grid falling down to occupy the vacated positions. Then new symbols cascade/drop in from above to fill all spaces. If you land another win, the process repeats itself. This continues until no more new wins are created.

Block Symbols

In the top 2 rows of the grid, Block symbols will appear. These are activated by having a winning paying symbol under itself or by the effect of another activated Block symbol. The special symbols that can land include:

• Empty Block: This has no effect.
• Horizontal Destroyer: Activates and destroys all symbols in its row.
• Vertical Destroyer: Activates and destroys all symbols in its column.
• Diagonal Destroyer: Activates and destroys its corner symbols.
• Bonus Block: The Free Spin counter increases by the number displayed on the Bonus Block.
• Multiplier Block: Increases the win multiplier by the number displayed on the Multiplier Block. Values range from 2x up to 500x and applies to wins from the current spin/cascade.
• Fire Gem Block: All red, fire-class symbols on the grid are destroyed and only the same kind of symbols drop in the following cascade.
• Water Gem Block: All blue, water-class symbols on the grid are destroyed with only the same kind of symbols drop in the following cascade.
• Plant Gem Block: All green plant-class symbols on the grid are destroyed with only the same kind of symbols drop in the following cascade. 

Destroy All Paying Symbols

If all paying symbols are destroyed in the same cascade, The Destroy All Paying Symbols feature is triggered. In the following cascade, all paying symbols will be of the same kind (i.e. red, green or blue).

Destroy All Blocks

The Destroy All Blocks feature is activated when all Block symbols are destroyed in the same cascade. For the rest of that spin and subsequent cascades, only Multiplier, Bonus and Gem Blocks will appear.

Free Spins

The Atlantis Crush slot game comes with a Free Spins feature. It’s triggered when 3 or more Bonus Blocks land. If you take the sum of all numbers of the triggering Bonus Blocks, that will be your free spins tally.

More importantly, the base game’s win multiplier is transferred over and will not reset during the feature. When Bonus Blocks are activated, their value will increase the free spins tally.

Super Free Spins

When you trigger the Free Spins feature, there is a chance the Super Free Spins feature will be triggered instead. With the free spins tally calculated in the same way, only Multiplier, Bonus and Gem Blocks will land in the Blocks area.

Bonus Buy

For players outside the UK, there is a Buy feature which is optional. With 2 options to choose from, you can buy your way directly into the free spins or super free spins with the RTP rate also changing. Below are the details:

The Atlantis Crush slot isn’t your typical Scatter Pays game. For starters, the grid is broken up into 2 areas with the top area containing Block symbols and the bottom area displaying only paying symbols (and Wilds).

With cascades awarding successive wins, keep an eye on block symbols at the top of the grid. Activated by winning symbols below or from another Block symbol, I found the Multiplier Block the most lucrative as a multiplier up to 500x can apply to the current cascade/spin. The 3 Gem Blocks will see symbols of the same colour destroyed and only the same kind dropping in the next cascade which will increase your chances of landing wins.

If you manage to destroy all Block symbols on the same cascade, you’ll play only Multiplier, Gem and Bonus Blocks on the next spin and following cascades. When 3 or more Bonus Blocks appear, you’ll play the Free Spins or Super Free Spins feature with the win multiplier from the base game transferring over.

In the Super Free Spins feature, only Multiplier, Bonus and Gem Blocks appear in the Blocks area which will dramatically increase your chances of a big payout.

With 10,000 times bet max wins, Relax Gaming has created a unique Scatter Pays slot game where the various Block symbols can combine and interact for huge wins. Although the bigger win multipliers will be hard to land, building the win multiplier in the 2 free spins features is key to a big win.

In summary, the Atlantis Crush slot is a well-designed game which is compelling and can dish out crushing wins if the Block symbols work their magic and combine to increase the win multiplier and add the same type of symbols on the grid.

It doesn’t have the appeal of other Scatter Pays slots like Money Train 4 (by Relax Gaming) and Sweet Bonanza (Pragmatic Play) but it's up there with the best of them.
