In Backseat Gaming’s depiction of Poseidon, the god of the sea appears as a mermaid on the left-hand side, an unusual representation that is nonetheless compelling. The game, “Commander of Tridents,” shows clear influence from Push Gaming’s popular “Mystery Museum,” even including a symbol reminiscent of the Razor Shark. However, Backseat Gaming adds innovative elements to the game, such as the Mystery Gate symbols that always fully nudge into place and can reveal matching pay symbols, Golden Chest symbols, or a Gather symbol. These symbols can trigger cash prizes, multipliers, and respins.
The game also features the “Poseidon Treasure” feature, which activates when the Mystery Gate symbols reveal the Golden Chest symbol. This reveals either a Bronze, Silver, or Gold coin symbol, a Multiplier symbol or a Gather symbol. The Bonus Round activates when 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols appear in view, awarding 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively.
While Backseat Gaming’s use of elements from other games may not be ideal for a developing studio, “Commander of Tridents” does offer a few unique features, such as the Reel Multiplier system and the Poseidon’s Treasure feature. The game may be worth checking out for its potential 15,000x return, despite the overt similarities to other games.
