When Relax Gaming decides to start tumbling stuff around the place, gamblers do well to sit up and take notice. The studio has dropped some exceptional tumble/cascading driven slots, climaxing in the phenomenal Ancient Tumble. Coming fairly hot on its heels is the cascading slot Atlantis Crush. For this mythologically minded release, Relax Gaming has spun the action off in a different direction, designing an inventive scatter-paying slot like no other. Putting significant distance between itself and the top dogs in the scatter scene like Gates of Olympus 1000, Atlantis Crush makes use of two separate yet interacting gaming spaces, a chonk load of special Block symbols, two free spins rounds, and more.
According to some, the island of Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean west of the Strait of Gibraltar, and Atlantis Crush has a Canary Islands look about it, being mountainous, palm-treed, blue-skied, exotic, warm, and inviting. Stone statues stand guard over the active gaming area, which is made up of a 5-reel, 2-row block symbol-only space and a 5-reel, 3-row pay symbol or wild-only space. Free spins rounds move indoors, and no matter the phase, Atlantis Crush's graphical quality is high, the audio tensely atmospheric.
The slot features a unique dual-reel system. The top two reels contain Block symbols, while the bottom three reels contain regular paying symbols and Wild symbols. Winning symbols trigger cascading reels, where winning symbols are removed from the grid and new symbols fall down to fill the empty spaces, potentially creating further wins.
Landing 3 or more Bonus Block symbols triggers Free Spins. The total number of Free Spins awarded is the sum of the values displayed on the activated Bonus Blocks. The win multiplier earned during the triggering spin carries over to the Free Spins and persists between spins. Additionally, any activated Bonus Block during Free Spins increases the Free Spin counter.
