Secrets of Atlantis

Secrets of Atlantis is NetEnt's dive into the sunken city, a serene art-nouveau pokie of seahorses, ornate ironwork and glowing blue depths that has kept a steady New Zealand following since its 2016 release. Kiwis who look up the Secrets of Atlantis slot or its RTP are usually drawn by two things: the calm, hypnotic styling and one of the highest return figures in the whole NetEnt catalogue. You can spin the free demo above in play money, with no account and no deposit, and watch the nudging wilds and colossal symbols work before deciding whether it belongs in your session in NZD.

How Secrets of Atlantis plays

Secrets of Atlantis runs on a 5 reel, 4 row grid with 40 bet lines that pay both ways, so wins are read from left to right and from right to left along the same lines. The signature mechanic is the Nudge Wild: tall wild symbols land partly in view and then nudge fully onto the reels, locking in place to award a re-spin. During those re-spins the Highlight feature can light up the three middle reels, and colossal 3x4 symbol blocks drop in, filling large areas of the grid at once. Chain a run of nudging wilds and highlighted colossal symbols together and a single spin can cover the screen. There is no separate free spins round here; the re-spins are the engine.

Secrets of Atlantis RTP, volatility and max win

Secrets of Atlantis carries a published RTP of 97.07 percent, which is well above the 96 percent common across NetEnt titles and one of the best returns in the range. It sits in the low to medium volatility band, meaning wins arrive at a fairly steady pace rather than in rare, giant bursts, which suits players who like a game that keeps ticking over. The top prize is 1,600 times your stake, reached when the colossal symbols and both-ways lines line up at their best during a strong re-spin. The RTP and max win shown in the stats panel above match these verified NetEnt figures.

Playing Secrets of Atlantis in New Zealand

Secrets of Atlantis is available at the online casinos serving New Zealand listed on this page, and you can play it in New Zealand dollars once you are signed in with one of them. New Zealand does not yet license domestic online casinos: the Department of Internal Affairs is introducing the Online Casino Gambling Act from December 2026, so until that regime goes live Kiwis play at casinos licensed offshore. The free demo at the top of this page needs no account, deposit or personal details, so you can test the nudging wilds first and only move to a real-money casino from the list when you are ready.

Is Secrets of Atlantis worth playing?

Secrets of Atlantis is well worth a spin if you like a calm, elegant theme paired with a genuinely high RTP and a mechanic that rewards patience. The nudging wilds give every near-miss real meaning, the colossal symbols create big screen-filling moments, and 97.07 percent is a strong return for any slot. It will not suit anyone chasing only enormous top prizes, since the 1,600x ceiling is moderate by modern standards.
