SlotBeats has been sitting atop Mount Olympus all week playing Play’n GO’s new slot Rise of Olympus Origins, which saw Zeus, Hades and Poseidon bolster the reels to clinch the latest Slot of the Week title.
Allowing players to feel the true power of three Greek gods, the slot uses a 5×5 reel grid with cluster-pays and a maximum win of x12,000 the player’s stake. The new Play’n GO title is highly volatile with an RTP of 96.24 per cent.
George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, stated: “The Rise of Olympus series holds a special place at Play’n GO and of course in the igaming community as a whole. The popular Rise of Olympus titles continue to shine today, and we’re thrilled to release this fresh new take on the series. We can’t wait for fans to try it out for themselves.”
Wins are formed in this title when three or more identical symbols – or three or more mixed god symbols – appear vertically or horizontally adjacent to one another.
Low value symbols come in the form of Zeus’ lightning bolts, Hades’ helmets and Poseidon’s tridents. These symbols can offer between x0.1 and x2.5 the player’s stake, depending on the number of matching combinations that land on one spin.
Meanwhile, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon depict the high value symbols themselves, providing wins between x0.3 and x10 the player’s stake.
Wild gold coins can also appear, substituting for all symbols in the game while awarding x1, x3 or x5 the player’s stake when three, four or five appear in a winning combination.
After every winning combination is formed, the symbols will disappear after providing their payout prizes. One wild coin is left behind by every win, but new symbols don’t drop into play to replace the disappearing symbols.
When wins are formed with identical combinations of god symbols, each god will perform their own respective bonus feature. Zeus removes two types of symbols from the reels, while Hades converts one set of symbols into different identical symbols and Posiedon adds between one and two wilds to the reels.
Furthermore, every god symbol that applies to a win will be collected in a meter beside the reel set. Once six or more gods have contributed to wins, one free respin will be awarded in which each god is guaranteed to perform their respective feature.
If players manage to clear the board by removing all symbols via wins, the free spins feature will be activated with 10 spins.
Clearing all symbols in the free spins feature will trigger an instant win reel feature. Players get one spin on this special reel that can award cash prizes of up to x10,000 the player’s bet.
