Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols
Rise of Olympus is a slot game based around the ancient greek gods; Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. According to myth, their home was high above the clouds in a city named Olympus. Here the gods toyed with the fates and destinies of man, sowing both destruction and wealth with impunity.
The 5x5 grid of this cascading slot is filled with emblems drawn from this mythology. The Wild symbol is a gold coin bearing the likeness of Pegasus. The high-paying symbols are portraits of Hades, Poseidon and Zeus, while low-paying symbols include harps, helms, tridents and lightning bolts.
Depending which god is active on the reels, the background of the game changes to match their personality. Poseidon places the reels deep underwater; Hades has the world grow dark, and Zeus elevates the reels high above the clouds.
Game Mechanics
Rise of Olympus is played on a cascading 5x5 symbol grid where wins are not based on fixed paylines but connecting 3 or more matching symbols vertically and horizontally. The same symbol can be part of both a vertical and horizontal combination.
The only symbols that do not need to match to trigger a win are the gods; any combination of their symbols will trigger a win, albeit at a lower return than a full matching set.
The slot offers 14 bet levels beginning as low as €0.20 per game and climaxing at €200 per game. This allows any player to enjoy the game regardless of budget.
Special Features
Rise of Olympus offers exciting cascading gameplay, random intervention by the gods, a destructive Wrath meter, and 3 free speech features.
