Forge of Olympus Base Game and Features

Forge of Olympus is a 6×5 Video Slot with a Scatter Pays mechanic. Winning combinations are formed when 8 or more of the same symbols land anywhere across the grid.

The minimum bet available here is £.€0.20 per spin and the maximum bet available is £.€100 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two thanks to the Ante Bet feature. This game has a theoretical RTP of 96.25% and a max win cap of 5,000x.

In terms of symbols, the highest-paying regular symbol here is Medussa, followed by the Helmet, Chalice, and Ring. Low-paying symbols fall to Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink, and Red Gems. There are no Wilds present here.

Each time a winning combination of symbols forms, all winning symbols will be removed from the grid, and new symbols will drop down from above via a Tumble feature. This will continue until no more winning combinations are formed.

Ante Bet

Before you can begin spinning, you will be given the option to activate the Ante Bet feature. Choosing to activate this feature will increase your current bet by 25%. Once active, your chances of triggering the Free Spins round are Doubled.

Multiplier Symbols

Special Hammer Multiplier symbols can be added to the grid in random positions during spins and tumbles in both the base game and Free Spins round.

Each time a Multiplier symbol lands, it will reveal a random Multiplier value between x2 and x100. At the end of the Tumble feature, the values of all present Multiplier symbols will be added together and applied to the total win for that round.

Forge of Olympus Free Spins

Landing 4, 5, or 6 Scatters across the grid during the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 10, 15, and 20 Free Spins respectively.

During Free Spins, a progressive feature is active that starts at Level 1. Each time a Multiplier symbol hits, it is collected in a special Meter, and the round levels up when it reaches certain thresholds.

• Level 1 – Is active before 6 Multiplier symbols are collected. During Level 1, Multiplier symbols can hit with a random Multiplier value between x2 and x100.
• Level 2 – Activates when 6 Multiplier symbols are collected. During level 2, Multiplier symbols can hit with a random Multiplier value between x8 and x100.
• Level 3 – Activates when an additional 5 Multiplier symbols are collected. During level 3, Multiplier symbols can hit with a random Multiplier value between x15 and x100.
• Level 4 – Activates when an additional 4 Multiplier symbols are collected. Once level 4 is reached, it is not possible to level up further and all subsequent Free Spins are played in Level 4.

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols during this round will award an additional +5 Free Spins.

Forge of Olympus: Our Verdict

Forge of Olympus expands on the foundations laid by slots like Gates of Olympus for another nail-biting mythical journey. Fine tweaks have been made to an old formula to make it seemingly more capable, yet the actual win potential stands at 5,000x, which is the same as the rest in the same family.

We could understand why some would feel indifferent to Forge of Olympus, after all it’s not miles away from what we’ve seen before, but we liked it. The dramatic stage has been set, and we’re suckers for fires, forges and olympian might. The collection meter and the levels definitely sell it better than Gates of Olympus. At level 4, the minimum multiplier sits at 50x, which can result in some huge hits.

Overall, Forge of Olympus isn’t exactly innovation personified, but it’s a solid offering from Pragmatic Play.
