Hyper Frames Poseidon

Hyper Frames Poseidon: Slot Overview

There are certain things gamblers are bound to bump into when playing online slots sooner or later, and one of those is the ancient Greek pantheon. Casino game makers adore this topic, and today's history lesson comes from Games Global partner Snowborn Games. In this release, the studio has gone with the ancient Greek ruler of the seas to design Hyper Frames Poseidon. It follows on from Zeus Hyper Frames, and while certain changes have occurred, the goal of revealing cash prizes and jackpots within a reel position framing system remains intact.

If there is a word that describes Hyper Frames Poseidon's initial audiovisual effect, it would be relaxing, especially while the reels were at rest. Soothing music plays, and the sensation was of floating beneath the water, watching bubbles lazily rise to the surface as dolphins and clown fish play around, darting in and out curiously closer, as an ancient underwater building lies in the distance, dappled in sunlight. Hyper Frames Poseidon has one of those ripped-to-shreds ancient Greek deities that can't seem to find a top to cover their bulging muscles. All things considered, Hyper Frames Poseidon doesn't look or sound anything special, and there isn't much here to witness that hasn't bubbled up in a number of Poseidon/Neptune games before.

There are 243 ways to win on Hyper Frames Poseidon's 5x3 gaming area, with winning combinations linking up from the leftmost reel. Players may stake $/€0.20 to $/€40, in this medium volatile game, and the preferred RTP of the three configurations is 96%.

Hyper Frames Poseidon's pay symbols are 10-A royals, columns, shells, swords, helmets, and crowns. A 5-of-a-kind royal win pays 0.5x-1.4x the bet, while 5 matching royals in a winning combination awards 3x the bet, no matter the type. The wild appears on all reels except the middle reel, and it only appears during the base game. It substitutes for all regular paying symbols.

Hyper Frames Poseidon: Slot Features

Here we cover Hyper Frames Bonuses, Hyper Frames themselves, Bonus Boosters, Super Bonus Features, and a Poseidon feature.

Hyper Frames Bonus

White Pearls transform to Coloured Pearls or Golden Coins. Whenever Coloured Pearls or Golden Coins appear, there is a chance that a Hyper Frames Bonus triggers. Pearls are collected by the same Coloured Shells above the reels, while Golden Coins go to the Treasure Chest. The combination of Pearls and Golden Coins collected when the bonus triggers determines the type of awarded features. Coloured Pearls may award Hyper Frames Bonus with different Bonus Boosters, while the Golden Coin may award one of four Super Bonus features.

Hyper Frames

During a Hyper Frames Bonus, Pearls can land on any reel and award or upgrade frames. Five types of frames are available - stone, bronze, silver, gold, and magic. Each level has increased values of possible prizes. Pearls landing on an empty position add a stone frame. Pearls landing in a frame upgrade it to the next level. Pearls that trigger the feature highlight their positions with a frame, though not in the Super Bonus Features. Landing a +1 Spin symbol during the bonus awards an extra spin. When the bonus ends, frames reveal cash or jackpots. Stone is worth 0.2x, bronze is 0.5x-1x, silver is 1.5x-3x, gold is 7x, the 10x Mini or the 25x Minor, while magic is the Mini, Minor, 200x Major, or 5,000x Mega jackpots.

Bonus Boosters

A Pearl triggered bonus awards a Bonus Booster and 6 spins. During the bonus, Pearls are collected to Bonus Boosters of matching colour above the reels. Each collected Pearl increases the respective Boost Counter by +1, up to 10.

• The Green Booster multiplies random frame prizes by x2-x10.
• The Blue Bonus Booster upgrades up to 10 random frames to the next level.
• The Red Bonus Booster collects the cash values of up to 10 random frames, then the collected positions are repopulated with a new prize of the same level, excluding multipliers.

Super Bonus Features

A bonus triggered from collecting a Golden Coin awards a Super Bonus Feature from the Bonus Wheel. One of four Super Bonus Features can trigger with any combination of the three Boosters. All Super Bonus Features start with 6 spins and no frames.

• Super Gold Bonus - All Pearls instantly award a gold frame. A Pearl landing in a gold frame upgrades it to magic.
• Super Spinz Bonus - Awards 12 free spins from the start.
• Super Stackz Bonus - Pearls may land stacked.
• Super Symbol Bonus - Colossal Pearl symbols, 2x2 or 3x3, may land and split into multiple small Pearls on the covered positions.

Poseidon Feature

When triggered, the Poseidon feature awards the Hyper Frames Bonus with a random combination of Boosters and/or a Super Bonus Feature. Can only trigger in the base game.

Hyper Frames Poseidon: Slot Verdict

Hyper Frames Poseidon is one of those slots that does its thing just fine, but isn't a game which caused major waves of excitement. The gameplay is close to what was on offer in Zeus Hyper Frames, so the novelty factor took something of a hit. It took a further hit by the way Hyper Frames Poseidon looks quite generic for this type of slot. There's Poseidon, mogging players with his superior physique, bubbles, an underwater kingdom, the usual. Everything here looks and sounds fine and dandy, but there's nothing crazily special about Hyper Frames Poseidon's presentation.

The same reaction applies to the gameplay. Highlighting positions with frames that go on to reveal prizes isn't a hugely populous phenomenon, but it's not uncommon either. Jackpots are the most desirable reveal symbol, naturally, though other than the Mega, the prizes are on the low to medium side. In saying that, the Green Booster is able to multiply frame values by up to x10, which is a positive. Other positives are having Super Bonus variants, max exposure is a study 5,500x, and the low-key bubbling vibe was quite relaxing, too.

To sum up, Hyper Frames Poseidon does its job just fine; it's got the multi-pot thing that's mega popular at the moment, jackpots, and a frame reveal mechanic, so there is a fair amount of activity going on or to look forward to possibly happening. Hyper Frames Poseidon does feel like a slot that meets expectations without being exceptional, pitched at a sort of general gambling audience who is able to appreciate this sort of thing, while not demanding anything remarkable.
