Introduction to Poseidon's Rage
Poseidon's Rage is a casino slot from Wishbone Games featuring the sea god Poseidon and valuable amphorae above the reels that can trigger the Bonus Game. An amphora is a tall, two‑handled vessel used in ancient Greece, Rome, and other Mediterranean cultures. Typically made of clay, it has a narrow neck, a pointed or rounded base, and elegant vertical handles that rise from the shoulder to the rim. They were used for several practical purposes, like holding wine, olive oil, and grains. But they are also considered art objects.
Each of the five amphorae above the reels represents an enhancement in the Bonus Game. Let’s have a closer look at what they can do.

Special Features & Slot Mechanics

What features are available in the slot Poseidon's Rage?
The features are Wild Symbol, Wild Reel Spin Feature, Scatter Symbol, and Bonus Feature.
Wild Symbol
Wild Symbols can form winning combinations on their own when they land along a payline. They can also replace all other regular-paying symbols to help complete wins. However, they don’t substitute Scatter Symbols and special symbols.
Wild Reel Spin Feature
During any base game spin, stacked wild symbols can randomly appear and fully cover one or more reels, increasing the chances of forming winning combinations.
Scatter Symbols
Poseidon symbols act as Scatter Symbols, and they can land on any reel. A Scatter Symbol may trigger the Bonus Feature when it appears, and it will award a sweet cash prize of 25,000x the bet if you land it together with the Maximum Win Symbol.
Bonus Feature
There is an amphora above each reel, which can be activated whenever a Scatter Symbol lands to trigger the Bonus Feature. Each amphora contains a unique symbol enhancement, and multiple enhancements can be combined if triggered at the same time.
Opening one or more amphorae awards 10 bonus spins, and the Bonus Feature cannot be re-triggered once it has started. You can land blanks, coins, and the special symbols MultiX, Pay+, Burst!, and xSpins. The coins have values between 0.2x and 50x the bet.
When a value symbol lands, it may receive a random number of temporary spins and will stay locked on the reels during that time. The value symbol remains locked until it either pays out or is removed. For each spin where no collector appears, one temporary spin is deducted. During the respin feature, temporary spins are not applied.
Value symbols that land without a temporary spin count will remain locked until they pay or the bonus ends. Whenever Poseidon appears, he collects all visible values, except during the Burst! and xSpins features.
During the Burst! feature, extra value symbols are added before collection. During the xSpins feature, Poseidon collects all values at the end of the respin session. Winnings are based on the final value of the special symbol at the end of each bonus spin.
Once the bonus ends, any amphorae triggered at the start reset to their original state, while inactive amphorae keep their previous state.
The maximum win is capped at 25,000x the bet, and the feature terminates if you reach that sum. The amphorae for each reel are:
Reel 1 - MultiX Enhancement
This enhancement starts at x2 and increases by 1 for every MultiX symbol that lands during the feature. It multiplies the value of each value symbol when a collection happens. This enhancement does not apply to jackpots, and the maximum multiplier is x5.
Reel 2 - Pay+ Enhancement
The Pay+ enhancement starts at 1x and increases by 1x the stake for each Pay+ symbol that appears during the feature. It adds the shown value to every value symbol during a collection. This enhancement does not affect jackpots and has a maximum value of 5x the bet.
Reel 3 - Jackpots Enhancement
When a jackpot symbol appears, it reveals a color and lights up a matching position on the jackpot display. Once all positions are lit, the displayed jackpot value is awarded. Jackpots are only available during bonus spins. Mini, Minor, and Major jackpots can be won multiple times, while the Grand jackpot can only be won once per bonus.
The available jackpots are Mini at 10x, Minor at 20x, Major at 50x, and Grand at 20,000x the bet.
Reel 4 - Burst! Enhancement
This enhancement starts at 1 and increases by 1 for every Burst! symbol that lands during the feature. The number shown beneath the active amphora indicates how many adjacent positions can receive additional value symbols.
The maximum Burst! value is 5. When a collector appears, extra value symbols are added to positions next to existing value symbols, except where a jackpot or collector is already present. If a new value symbol lands on an occupied position, its value is added to the existing symbol. Jackpot symbols stay fixed once they appear.
Reel 5 - xSpins Enhancement
Each xSpins symbol adds an extra heart to the display, with each heart representing one chance in the feature. The first xSpins symbol is automatically awarded when the bonus is triggered.
When a collect symbol lands, it and all value symbols become sticky, while the remaining positions spin independently. Any new value symbol that lands will also stick. If a spin produces no new value or jackpot symbols, one chance is removed.
The respin feature ends when all hearts are used or when every available position is filled with a value or jackpot symbol. After the respin ends, the number of chances resets to the amount shown at the start of the final respin session.
Final Thoughts on Poseidon's Rage
Poseidon's Rage is a bit like a seaside souvenir you buy on holiday. It feels right at the moment, but you will probably not brag about it when you get home. The theme with Poseidon and ancient amphorae makes sense, yet the visuals don’t exactly scream “next-gen.” They look fine, just slightly dated, like they arrived a few years late to the graphics party. The gameplay is pretty straightforward, although the bonus game with all its enhancers can take a while to learn.
The five amphora enhancements add some variety, and watching values grow or explode can be genuinely entertaining. The structure will feel familiar to players who have tried similar enhancement-style bonuses in games like Kingfisher of the Caribbean and Phoenix Reign. It’s not revolutionary, but it’s comfortably enjoyable, and sometimes that’s enough. And there’s some good win potential, especially with the 20,000 Grand Jackpot. However, you can actually also land the game’s max win of 25,000x the bet by landing the Scatter Symbol and the Maximum Win Symbol in the base game.
Poseidon's Rage from Wishbone Games is a decent, middle-of-the-road slot with a solid bonus and serviceable gameplay.
