The God of the Sea unleashes lavish gameplay in Blueprint Gaming’s latest offering, Rise of Atlantis Legacy, with the highly anticipated title introducing a new Gates of Atlantis bonus game, boosting the chance of significant cascading returns.

In addition to the popular Rise of Atlantis free spins, the new Gates of Atlantis feature introduces a Total Win Multiplier that combines with any new multiplier to increase the final payout.
For those particularly seeking immersive bonus play, three bonus bet options are available for purchase, including a super version of both bonus rounds and a Legend of Atlantis feature that combines the mechanics of both for one bountiful experience.
The launch of Rise of Atlantis Legacy aligns with Blueprint Gaming’s broader strategy of developing and leveraging successful IP to drive growth in global markets. Its ability to create content that resonates with diverse audiences is showcased, underscoring the supplier’s strategic focus on portfolio depth and market penetration.
