Atlantis was a legendary island civilization at the time of the ancient Greeks that supposedly sank without a trace overnight taking with it untold treasures. In modern times researchers have tried to figure out the exact location of the mysterious civilization and some have even engaged in expeditions to recover the riches. With this background it is hardly surprising that Atlantis has become a popular theme for online slots. The search for elusive treasure matches with the objective of wagering on online slots. This article picks out three of these Atlantis themed online slots and reviews them.

Atlantis has intrigued online casino software providers since the times of classic three reel slots. Microgaming has a classic slot titled Atlantis in its portfolio. Below the reels there is a graphic of the ruins on the ocean bed with plenty of gold coins strewn about. The Atlantis online slot has a single payline and players can wager one or two coins. The coin denomination range extends from 0.25 credits to 50 credits and hence this slot game also attracts high rollers. Some of the important symbols are based on the theme. The treasure chest filled with gold coins is appropriately the most important symbol. It is a wild symbol and awards the highest line payout. It also acts as a multiplier. The pearl in a shell symbol pays even if it appears singly on the payline. Atlantis can be played at Microgaming online casinos like All Slots, Roxy Palace and Royal Vegas.

Slotland online casino operates on proprietary software and offers online casino games that cannot be played at any other online casino. One of these is the slot machine Pearls of Atlantis. This 9-payline video slot has symbols like shell, octopus, anchor, seahorse, mermaid, Triton and treasure chest. When three or more treasure chest symbols appear, players click on one to reveal the treasure. If the chest contains gold, a multiple of the total bet is added to the Treasure Chest fund. To win this fund, players have to enter the Wheel of Fortune bonus game. Sometimes the treasure chest contains a piece of the Wheel of Fortune. When players collect all five pieces of the Wheel of Fortune, they enter the bonus game. Pearls of Atlantis is networked to the Slotland casino progressive jackpot. If players hit five Triton symbols on a payline with a bet of at least $10 per spin, they will win the progressive jackpot.
