Power of Olympus Slot by Booming Games 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Power of Olympus Review

The iconic Gates of Olympus slot has spawned numerous makeovers since it hit the market back in 2021, and one of such games taking inspiration from Pragmatic Play’s release is Power of Olympus by Booming Games, packed to the brim with cascades, wilds, multipliers, and free spins.

The influence of Gates of Olympus is quite clear in terms of both the design and gameplay. On the outside, the Power of Olympus slot really resembles the one mentioned above. Players find themselves at the very top of Mount Olympus, the home of the Greek gods, where a massive reel area is sitting. Booming Games has taken a slightly different approach though, expanding the reels to 7x7 and making use of the Cluster Pays mechanics instead.

Power of Olympus Slot - Reel Screen

Unlike Pragmatic Play’s slot where symbols pay anywhere on the reels, wins here are awarded in clusters of 5 or more vertically or horizontally adjacent symbols. The differences end, however, as we take a closer look at the paytable, where we can spot very similar icons. The lower symbol lot of the Power of Olympus slot consists of gems of different shapes and colors, while the premium symbol collection includes rings, cups, and crowns. Yeah, Booming Games isn’t the most original studio indeed. Anyway, clusters of 25+ gems pay from 10x to 25x the stake, and clusters of higher symbols are worth from 40x to 100x the stake.

Bet levels vary from £0.2 at the lowest up to £100 at the highest, which is quite standard. The volatility is in the medium range, and the RTP is slightly beneath the average at 95.6%. Still, wins should occur fairly often according to a hit rate of 31%, meaning that roughly every 3rd spin will be a winning one. The max win is fairly decent as well, clocking in at 6,311.4x the bet, which is higher than what the competition offers.

Power of Olympus Slot Features

Power of Olympus Slot - Free Spins

Central to the gameplay of the Power of Olympus slot is the Cascading Wins feature, which is active at any stage. Whenever a win occurs, all winning symbols get removed from the reels. Meanwhile, the remaining symbols drop down, and new ones tumble from above to fill empty spaces. The cascading process is repeatable and continues until there are no more winning combos to be created.

The cascades are strongly linked to the Random Wilds feature, which is where most wins come from here. After forming a cluster win, from 1 to 3 Wild symbols are randomly placed on empty positions. Two types of Wilds are available, namely the regular ones and Multiplier Wilds. The possible multiplier values are 2x, 3x, and 5x. When such Wild takes part in a win, that combination is multiplied by the corresponding value. In case multiple Wild symbols participate in the same combination, their multiplier values are added together.

Keep an eye on Zeus symbols, which are Scatters. When 4 or more land anywhere on the reels on the same spin, players receive access to the free spins:

• 4 Scatter symbols - award 10 Free Spins.
• 5 Scatter symbols - award 15 Free Spins.
• 6 Scatter symbols - award 20 Free Spins.
• 7 Scatter symbols - award 25 Free Spins.

The bonus game operates in a similar way to the base game, but there’s one major difference. In the free games, the values of multiplier Wilds are significantly increased and can reach up to 100x. Finally, the free games can be retriggered. Landing 3 or more Scatters during the bonus awards +5 extra spins.

There’s also a Buy Feature available, allowing you to skip through the base game and plunge straight into the bonus. The cost is fixed at 82x the base bet, which gives a spin with at least 3 guaranteed Scatter symbols.

Review Summary

All said and done, Power of Olympus is fun, albeit it doesn’t bring anything new for the players. The theme and gameplay laid down here are ‘borrowed’ from older releases, the Gates of Olympus in particular, and there aren’t actually a lot of reasons why you should switch from Pragmatic’s game to the one from Booming Games. Well, the max win is higher and the features are more or less altered, but the experience it delivers is basically the same. With that said, you won’t miss anything if you would decide to skip this one.
