Rise of Olympus Review

Simply put, Rise of Olympus is a masculine version of Moon Princess (also from Play’n Go). In other words, if you love the mechanics and features of that popular manga/anime slot (we sure do), but you don’t really feel like spinning the reels on a pinkish “girly slot” too much. Well voilà, Play’n Go has finally presented you with the ultimate solution.

There is hardly anything more manly than muscular greek gods with impressive superpowers that can benefit you in so many different ways. The potential is huge, the falling symbols and all the bonus features are tremendously entertaining and we really think this game is like manna from heaven for a lot of players out there.

Rise of Olympus symbols

Rise of Olympus bonus features

Rise of Olympus is set up as a 5x5 grid with cascading symbols dropping from above. You win by lining up 3 matching symbols either vertically or horizontally. Winning symbols will then be removed, and the remaining symbols will drop down to create new winning combinations. Whenever you land a winning combo, a wild symbol will appear in the middle of the grid and a multiplier will increase with every consecutive win.

Hand of God

Rise of Olympus slot also comes with a randomly triggered feature called the Hand of God feature. It’s only triggered on non-winning spins, and the bonus feature you’ll get from this depends on which of the 3 greek gods are active on the right hand side of the reels:

• Zeus – 2 set of symbols are removed, and new symbols will appear to replace them
• Poseidon – 1 or 2 wilds are added onto the reels/grid
• Hades – 1 set of symbols is changed into another symbol

Wrath of Olympus

This feature is played out whenever the on-screen meter is filled up. You fill the meter by landing winning combos with the symbols of the Greek Gods included. A 5-symbol win fills 3 sections of the meter, while a 4-symbol win fills it 2 sections and a 3-symbol win fills it just 1 section. When the meter is full you get 1 free spin, whereafter the 3 Hand of God features play out consecutively.

Rise of Olympus free spins

Clearing the whole 5x5 grid of all symbols is what it takes to trigger the free spins feature on Rise of Olympus slot. You’re then given the choice of 3 different free spins options corresponding to the 3 Greek Gods and their special Hand of God powers:

• Zeus gives you 8 free spins with low volatility and potential
• Poseidon gives you 5 free spins with medium volatility and potential
• Hades gives you 4 free spins and high volatility and potential

The choice is yours, and another thing is that the multiplier never resets. It can grow up to 20x or give you an immediate 100x win if you clear the grid. If you fill up the bonus-meter you can also retrigger the free spins feature for up to 20 spins in total.

Rise of Olympus jackpot (max win)

There is no progressive jackpot on Rise of Olympus, but the max win is a very respectable 5000 times your stake. This amounts to a cool £1,000,000 if you play with the highest stake possible.

Rise of Olympus mobile & tablet

You can certainly play Rise of Olympus slot on both mobile and tablet, and this game goes well with any platform, handheld or otherwise. Play wherever you are on your Android devices, or your iPhone and iPad.

SlotCatalog verdict

Play’n Go has confirmed that Rise of Olympus is identical to Moon Princess when it comes to payouts, potential and game mechanics. This means that everything under the hood is the same, but the outer shell and the theme is the polar opposite to that very feminine anime/manga slot. This means both sexes now get to choose what they prefer, and this amounts to true equality and balance.

Pros

• Mechanics identical to Moon Princess
• 2 different bonus features in base game
• Free spins benefitting from special powers
• Highly volatile with high potential

Cons

• Theme might be a bit overused
