Masks of Atlantis slot by Realtime Gaming (RTG)

How to play Masks of Atlantis comes down to one decision made before anything moves: the size of the stake. Every figure in the Masks of Atlantis paytable is a multiple of it, so changing the stake rescales the whole table at once.

Masks of Atlantis pays on 20 lines: the symbols have to land next to each other from the left edge, and the line has to be one the game is running. Scatters are the exception — they pay from wherever they land.

Masks of Atlantis keeps its own paytable one click away, and that is where to check Mask Bonus rather than trusting a summary. The values shown move with the stake, so the table always matches the spin you are about to make.

Under the art, Masks of Atlantis is a straightforward 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines machine. Wins are read left to right from the first reel, and only the highest combination on each line counts, so a second mask further along the same line adds nothing. The mask is the top symbol, a trident sits under it, and the card ranks below those are what most Masks of Atlantis spins return.

Wild duty falls to Atlantis Wild: stretches to fill its reel. The Masks of Atlantis ceiling is 5,000× the line bet, which is a feature number, not a base-game one.

Everything else on the grid is ordinary; Mask Bonus is not: masks are turned over one by one for multipliers. That is why the base grid on Masks of Atlantis feels quieter than the numbers suggest: the variance is deliberately parked in the feature.

Masks of Atlantis carries three features, and they are where the game earns its place in the lobby rather than on the base grid.

Mask Bonus. The paytable entry reads: masks are turned over one by one for multipliers. Mask Bonus does not fire often on Masks of Atlantis, and the game is built on the assumption that you are waiting for it.

Free Games (up to twenty free spins, with mask still the symbol you want them to land on). On Masks of Atlantis this is the difference between a flat session and one you remember, so it is worth knowing what Free Games looks like before it arrives.

Atlantis Wild: stretches to fill its reel, with mask still the symbol you want them to land on. Atlantis Wild does not fire often on Masks of Atlantis, and the game is built on the assumption that you are waiting for it.

None of these fire on demand, and that is the point: Mask Bonus is worth having a balance left for, and the rest of Masks of Atlantis is the wait.

Masks of Atlantis is staked per line: pick a line bet, multiply by 20, and that is what a spin costs; every Masks of Atlantis payout is quoted against that same line bet. Note that 5,000× the line bet is a multiplier, not a rand figure. It holds at every stake, which is what makes Masks of Atlantis comparable with the games either side of it in the lobby.

Masks of Atlantis runs high volatility — the game pays rarely and heavily, so long flat stretches are normal and the bankroll has to survive them. There is no such thing as the RTP of Masks of Atlantis. RTG supplies a configurable return and each operator picks a setting, which makes cross-site comparisons of this number meaningless — check the info panel inside Masks of Atlantis rather than a table on someone else's site.

There is no reason to ladder the stake on Masks of Atlantis: each spin stands alone, and its paytable scales linearly with whatever you set. Autoplay handles the base grid of Masks of Atlantis perfectly well. Set it to stop on Mask Bonus and you get the pace without losing the event.

On Masks of Atlantis the stake wants to be small relative to the balance: the game can go a long way without paying, and the only protection against that is spin count. Set the limit before the first spin of Masks of Atlantis rather than after a bad run — the deposit and self-exclusion tools are in the account area and take effect immediately.

If you are clearing a bonus on Masks of Atlantis, note that slots contribute 100% of the wagering requirement — the full terms are on our bonus page. What to watch in Masks of Atlantis is Mask Bonus: how often it arrives sets the pace of a session more than any other number.

Resist the urge to raise the stake because Mask Bonus has not landed for a while: on Masks of Atlantis it is no closer than it was, and the wait has just become more expensive. Our responsible gaming page has the limits, the self-exclusion options and the contacts for independent help — none of it requires talking to support about Masks of Atlantis or anything else first.

Masks of Atlantis suits a player who wants a game that can do very little for a long time and then do a great deal at once. If it lands well, Sunken Treasures is the next one to try — same family of mechanics, different rhythm.

Sunken Treasures is the near neighbour, and either is a reasonable opening. Masks of Atlantis is the better one when you are prepared to sit through the quiet.
