Rise of Olympus 100 Demo
Rise of Olympus 100 Slot Review
Legendary Greek Mythology Gods, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon are back for another epic adventure, and this time they’re turning the heat up to 100 in Play’n GO’s latest release, Rise of Olympus 100!
Three brothers come together once more to rule, but who will rule them? After conquering their father, Cronus and other Titans, the skies, sea and underworld were split between the brothers. Each of the brothers possesses great power on their own, but imagine that power combined if they were to unite.
It’s not the first time Play’n GO has beefed up the potential in one of their titles, with Moon Princess being the first to receive the ‘100’ treatment, but will we be lucky enough to see it in action? Let’s play on and find out!
Base Game & Features
Rise of Olympus 100 is a 5×5 Video Slot with a Cluster Pays mechanic. Winning combinations are formed when 3 of the same symbol types connect either horizontally or vertically with each other.
In terms of symbols, the highest-paying symbols are Hades, Poseidon and Zeus or any combination of the 3. All 3 Gods share the same pay value. Low-paying symbols fall to the Orange, Red, Green and Blue symbols. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols in the paytable.
Similar to the original, each winning combination triggers an Avalanche Feature, where all winning symbols disappear from view and all remaining symbols will move down, filling the empty positions on the reels.
Each winning combination that forms will increase the Multiplier in the top left of the reel set, up to a maximum of x100. Once there are no more winning combinations on the reels, the increasing Multiplier will reset back to x1.
Hand of God Feature
During any non-winning spin in the base game, the Hand of God feature can activate.
Once active, 1 of 3 Gods will trigger and award their respective Modifier. These are as follows.
- Hades – Transforms a set of symbols into another High or Low-paying symbol type.
- Poseidon – Adds 1 or 2 Wild symbols in random positions across the reels.
- Zeus – Removes up to 2 sets of symbols from the reels.
During the Free Spins round, the chosen God Modifier will trigger on every non-winning spin.
Wrath of Olympus
During any base game spin, charging the Meter on the left side of the reel set with only High-paying God symbols triggers the Wrath of Olympus feature.
- x3 God Symbols – Fills section 1 on the Meter.
- x4 God Symbols – Fills section 2 on the Meter.
- x5 God Symbols – Fills section 3 on the Meter.
Once all 3 sections on the Meter are filled, the Wrath of God feature activates. Hades, Poseidon and Zeus will each perform their Modifiers individually during a single Free Spin. Clearing the entire reel set during this feature will trigger the Free Spins round.
Rise of Olympus 100 Free Spins
As mentioned above, clearing the entire reel set of symbols triggers the Free Spins round. Depending on which God option you choose, the total number of Free Spins varies.
Clearing the reel set naturally (not during the Wrath of God feature) awards 50x your current bet. The prize is affected by the active Win Multiplier.
- Hades Free Spins – Awards 4 Free Spins and the Hades Modifier.
- Poseidon Free Spins – Awards 5 Free Spins and the Poseidon Modifier.
- Zeus Free Spins – Awards 8 Free Spins and the Zeus Modifier.
During the Free Spins round, the increasing Multiplier does not reset between spins and can reach up to an impressive x100. The Special Meter is also active during this time, and once all 3 sections are filled, +2, +3 or +4 additional Free Spins will be awarded depending on which God option you chose, up to a maximum of 100.
Our Honest Verdict
Rise of Olympus 100 looks just as good as it did in the original release, meaning there are very few changes to the design, besides higher-quality graphics and sharper sound effects.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a sequel without at least one significant change, and the clue is quite clearly in the title. Play’n GO recently upgraded their beloved Moon Princess prior to this, swapping out the x20 Multiplier for a much sweeter x100, creating a brand new series of games.
Granted, this is an impressive change which greatly increases the potential and appeal, but this alone may not have been the changes players had hoped for. On the other hand, we are in no position to complain given that Play’n GO has chosen to upgrade statistics rather than the design or features in the game.
If we compare both Rise of Olympus and this latest addition, you can see that Play’n GO has gone all out, increasing the maximum win capacity from 2,500x your bet in the original to a whopping 15,000x your bet here.
All in all, Rise of Olympus 100 looks and feels much like the original, but there are significant changes behind the scenes that make it a much more appealing option, overall.
