Raging Gods: Olympus

Raging Gods: Olympus Review

Nailed It! Games' Raging Gods: Olympus slot sets the scene with a 5x3 grid perched above a classic Greek landscape. Ominous clouds loom in the background, while 3 formidable Greek gods, each ripped and wielding their iconic weapons, stand guard above the reels. Poseidon, with his tripod, represents the Prize Booster power. Zeus, clutching his lightning bolt, embodies Instant Jackpots. Finally, Hades, holding a fireball, commands the Extra Collect feature.

Players familiar with the Power Combo series, spanning across various Games Global partners, will instantly recognize the familiar gameplay. The base game is stripped down, featuring only Wild symbols to assist in forming winning combinations. Wins occur when 3 to 5 matching symbols land on any of the 20 paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. Wilds also serve as the top-paying symbol, awarding 10x your stake for 5 on a payline.

An epic soundtrack complements the divine atmosphere as the 3 gods collect their respective bonus symbols, which appear frequently. Collecting enough symbols triggers the bonus round at random times, and the ultimate goal is to activate it with all 3 godly powers in play. This maximizes your chances of hitting the 5,000x max win, although this possibility is always present thanks to the jackpot symbols collected during each bonus.

With a top-tier RTP of 96.09 % and medium volatility, Raging Gods: Olympus offers a slightly more forgiving experience compared to other Power Combo slots, making it easier to stay afloat while awaiting the bonus rounds. Regular base game payouts come from golden statues, helmets, harps, vases, and sandals, as well as royal symbols. Landing 5-oak wins pays 1.2x to 5x your stake, so you need the bonus round for substantial payouts in this game.

Raging Gods: Olympus Features

The base game is all about collecting power combo bonus symbols to hopefully trigger the bonus round with as many godly powers activated as possible. Let’s take a closer look at how it works!

Bonus Symbols

There are 3 unique bonus symbols that land regularly in the base game, and these are collected by the corresponding gods above the grid. The Tripod Symbol is collected by Poseidon, The Lightning Bolt symbol is collected by Zeus, and the Fire Symbol is collected by Hades. Each time a bonus symbol is collected there is a chance you’ll trigger the Power Combo Bonus Game with the special power active from the relevant god or gods.

Raging Gods: Olympus Power Combo Bonus Game

The Power Combo Bonus Game is a hold and win type of bonus round, and you start with 3 spins in your tally. Only bonus prize symbols, jackpot gems, blanks, and activated special power symbols will appear during the feature. Jackpot gems are collected in the respective jackpot meters, and you need to collect 3 gems of the same color to win the corresponding jackpot prize:

• The Mega Jackpot is worth 5,000x your stake.
• The Major Jackpot is worth 200x your stake.
• The Minor Jackpot is worth 20x your stake.
• The Mini Jackpot is worth 10x your stake.

Any non-blank symbol that appears resets your spin tally to 3 each time, and bonus prize symbols become sticky on the grid while jackpot gems and power symbols are removed. Each position spins individually and the feature ends when you run out of spins or hit the Mega jackpot win cap.

Each god brings a unique Power Symbol to the bonus round, but only the power symbol of activated gods can appear. These work as follows:

• Poseidon’s Prize Booster - boosts all present bonus cash prizes on the current spin by a random multiplier of x0.25, x0.5, x1, x2, x3, x4, or x5.
• Hades’ Extra Collect Feature - collects all cash prizes in view and adds the sum to your total win. This feature activates after the prize booster if both are triggered.
• Zeus’ Instant Jackpot - fills one of the jackpot meters instantly so you win the prize. This feature always activates last if more than one is triggered.

Pros and Cons of Raging Gods: Olympus

Our Verdict

The Power Combo series has carved a unique niche in the online slot world, with installments from different studios. Their popularity varies greatly from release to release though, with some titles like Queens of Ra: Power Combo becoming firm favorites while others sink into the swamp of forgetfulness rather quickly. Raging Gods: Olympus Power Combo, while an okay addition to the series, adheres to the familiar formula.

The absence of any taste of the modifiers in the base game is a missed opportunity that could’ve provided a more balanced experience. Wins here are primarily top-up wins to keep you going, with mid-level symbols unable to deliver significant payouts. The game's appeal lies in its bonus symbols, collected by the Greek gods with visually striking animations. This mechanic maintains some engagement, as the prospect of triggering the bonus with multiple active features remains ever-present.

The bonus round usually activates with only one godly power though, with all 3 rarely combining. Getting 2 active features did happen somewhat regularly to be fair, but I always feel like something is missing unless I get the fully-fledged bonus experience. I do like that the possibility of bonus game jackpots is always present, regardless of the triggering god or gods, and Zeus’ instant jackpot power adds extra tension when activated.

In conclusion, Raging Gods: Olympus game is another decent installment in the Power Combo saga, with its godly action commentary and 5,000x max win potential. While the Power Combo concept might not resonate with everyone, fans of this style will likely find this game enjoyable. The addition of base game modifiers and the ability to unlock more powers during the bonus round would elevate this concept to new heights, and we also missed a bonus buy feature.
