Rise of Olympus Slot Review

When it comes to cluster pays or cascading grid type video slots if you prefer, one of the highest regarded game producers is undoubtedly Play’n Go. Plus if you combine the mechanics with a Greek god themed video slot you have a winner on your hands, namely, Rise of Olympus. By which is a title filled with spectacular bonus features like free spins. But also, some jaw-dropping random features in the base game. And it’s all exceptionally well presented with stunning graphics bringing it all together where it simply feels well-polished and thought out. However, a small reminder, if this is your first look at a cluster pays video slot, you do best in studying the function and features in the paytable to appreciate this one fully. And believe us when we tell you. This video slot is definitely worth the investment. 

Rise of Olympus base gameplay

Rise of Olympus plays on a cascading grid layout, displayed on 5-reels and 5-rows via the cluster pays math model. In essence, pair at least 3-of-a-kind vertically or horizontally to form a winning cluster. But also, after all, possible combinations awards the clusters explode making room for the remaining symbols to fall, and possibly adding more winning combinations. To get that massive 5,000x your bet as the max win caps out at. And that’s about it for the base game and its core function. Still as promised, let’s check out the random “bonus” trigger also included in the gameplay. 

Rise of Olympus video slot RTP and volatility

Indeed, not only is the central gameplay extraordinarily and well planned out. But also included in this highly volatile 96% return to player (RTP) video slot is a fantastic random feature, Hand of God. Basically, on any no-win-spin, a god’s power can spill over to the game grid. First, Hades, which replaces a set of symbols with new ones. Second, Poseidon that adds up to 2 wilds. The third and final random feature is via Zeus. Where he displays his power by sending a bolt of lightning to destroy not 1 but 2 sets of symbols currently on the game grid. Moreover, all the god’s features and powers are also accessible when filling the god meter’s 3 different sections on the left-hand side by racking win after win with god symbols. Please visit the paytable for full disclosure. 

Main bonus feature in Rise of Olympus

The main feature in Rise of Olympus is multiple options of free spins. First off, to trigger the free spins, all you need to do is clear the game grid from symbols. Which grants you the option to choose from the 3 different free spins. Fundamentally, pick to get more free spins with less winning potential or less free spins with higher winning potential. Including Hades 4 free spins, Poseidon’s 5 free spins or Zeus 8 Free spins. Plus, every time the god meter gets fully charged additional free spins awards, with a maximum of 20. Moreover, on every no-win-spin in the free spins game, the selected god’s feature releases its rath. 

Our conclusion about Rise of Olympus

Before we let you know our verdict, we didn’t really mention the Wrath of Olympus free round. By which trigger when the god meter is full. Essentially, when fully charged, all 3 god’s take turns to put on an incredible show to display their powers, one by one. And the best part, it’s completely free! As for our general feeling and verdict, even if the volatility is very high, it doesn’t affect the overall gameplay. It seems that the volatility caters more to the free spin than the base game and its random features. As such if you enjoy a brilliant base game with added free features, but want something to strive for when it comes to the bonus games, Rise of Olympus is the game for you.
