Legend of Olympus

Legend of Olympus Video Slot

Microgaming has released several online video slots based on the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Mayan themes. Although Legend of Olympus falls into this category, it stands in a class of its own because of the way Rabcat, a partner of Microgaming, has dealt with the Greek theme.

If players loved reading stories of Greek mythology, they will love this slot as it features their favorite Greek gods. Zeus himself stands on the top left side of the reels, an impressive, animated figure with a long, white beard and a searching look.

The slot has its share of delightful bonus features, but is not overloaded with them. There is a wild symbol, a couple of scatter symbols, a bonus game, and a free spins round. The aim is to win the top fixed jackpot of 20,000 coins although additional prizes can be won in the bonus game and free spins.

About Legend of Olympus

Legend of Olympus has five reels and 20 paylines. The slot has a simple design, which makes it fun to play and easy to understand. Since the 20 paylines are not fixed, players can activate as many of them as they like before hitting the slot’s spin button. The slot has an affordable coin value range of 0.01 to 2.00, and players who would like to bet maximum have to place a bet of 40.00. If players need assistance, they just have to click on the Help button to get details of the game’s rules, payout structure, and features.

Features

The slot features simple graphics that are a bit difficult to see. Although the sound effects are few and far between, the animations are quite entertaining. For example, an animated Zeus and Hades are positioned at the top left and bottom right of the reels, respectively. The animated Hades has a hand on the Bet button.

The reels are populated with symbols of Greek gods and their weapons. The Hades symbol serves as the wildcard, which means that players can use it to spin a winning combination as it can substitute for all other icons except the two scatters. The Hades wild symbol also holds the key to the top fixed jackpot of 20,000 coins. If players land a combination of five Hades symbols along an active payline, they can take home this coveted prize. 

As previously mentioned, the slot has two scatters—Coin and Zeus. Combinations of scatter symbols do not fetch any scatter payouts, but bonus features such as the Legend of Olympus bonus game and the free spins round do get activated.

The bonus game gets activated when players land at least three Coin icons anywhere on the reels. This is a two-level game, the first level of which challenges players to reveal bonus prizes by stopping the spinning coins. The next level reveals three treasure chests with bonus prizes behind them. Players can claim one of these prizes by selecting one of the treasure chests.

The slot’s free spins feature, which initially offers 14 free spins, gets activated when a minimum of three Zeus scatter symbols appear across the reels. During the free spins round, Zeus launches a battle against Hades in which he wields his lightening rod. Whenever Hades is hit by lightening, players will receive extra free spins. In addition, the free spins round can be re-activated while playing a free game.

The game also has an optional gamble feature, which gets activated whenever players spin a winning combination. To double their winnings, players have to guess the correct color of the playing card that is displayed on the reels.

Symbols and Theme

Legend of Olympus is an awesome Rabcat slot, especially for beginners who do not like slots packed with too many bonus features. The reels are populated with rich thematic icons that relate colorful tales of Greek mythology. The most important characters are Zeus and Hades, who go into excellent animations during the free spins round.

Hades is the most lucrative symbol as it not only serves as the wildcard, but also helps players win the top fixed jackpot of 20,000 coins. The scatter symbols are also important as they can unlock the lucrative bonus game and free spins round.
