Rise of Olympus

Rise of Olympus (Play'n GO): Overview

Play'n GO has become renowned for its cascading grid-style slot games, having achieved significant success with popular titles like Reactoonz, Moon Princess, Viking Runecraft, Cloud Quest, and Gemix. While these games share a lot of similarities in mechanics, distinguishing Moon Princess from Rise of Olympus can be challenging, leading to the realization that they're practically identical, which may or may not be seen as disappointing.

If you're a fan of Moon Princess's gameplay but not so much of its manga theme, Rise of Olympus might be the right fit for you. This version swaps cute manga girls for mighty Greek gods, perhaps aiming to cater to different player interests. Unlike Moon Princess, interacting with the characters in quite the same way is not an option here. It's intriguing how the visual theme can significantly alter a player's experience, despite knowing it's merely a variant.

Rise of Olympus, an exciting 5x5 grid slot, is accessible on all devices with staking options ranging from €0.20 to €100. With a 96.5% RTP, always verify the particular RTP settings in play, as variations exist. The game presents thematic symbols such as lightning bolts, tridents, helmets, and harps, elevating the gameplay with high-value Greek god symbols—Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus. The Wild symbol stands out as the most rewarding, offering a payoff of up to 50 times your bet when aligned in five.

Wins occur when a minimum of three symbols align either vertically or horizontally. True to its cascading nature, Rise of Olympus sees symbols dropping into the grid to set off wins, with a Wild popping into the central spot and the win multiplier rising with each new drop. This entertaining loop continues till no further wins occur, after which the multiplier is reset to x1.

Rise of Olympus (Play'n GO): Features

The game introduces two dynamic features for enhancing play:

• Hand of God - Activated at random during non-winning spins, one of the three deities steps in with special powers. Hades will transform one set of symbols into another, Poseidon contributes up to two wilds, and Zeus can eliminate two sets of any symbols.
• Wrath of Olympus - Triggered by achieving a full power meter, which is filled by landing a five-symbol combination with one of the god symbols. Each god takes turns enhancing the grid, boosting your chances for free spins with their special powers.

Free spins become available when all symbols, except Wilds, are cleared from the grid. Players get to choose from three options linked to the gods depicted in-game. The chosen god's ability alters non-winning spins, allowing, for example, Poseidon to add wilds after a loss during free spins.

Additionally, the multiplier maintains its growth throughout, potentially climbing to a maximum of x20. If the grid is cleared, an instant 100x multiplier win is granted. The free spins feature can be retriggered to a possible total of 20 free spins by fully recharging the meter.

The Greek gods in this slot embody different volatility levels—high, medium, and low. Opting for Hades may present a higher risk but also the possibility of substantial rewards.

Rise of Olympus (Play'n GO): Verdict

Play'n GO has confirmed that the mechanics and payouts of Rise of Olympus mirror those of Moon Princess. Essentially, the math behind the games remains unchanged; it's purely a matter of preference for the visual style. From a production standpoint, Rise of Olympus is impressively crafted, achieving high marks, though perhaps it could have benefited from injecting more original elements.
