Legend of Hydra Power Zones

If you have played the Stallion Strike title, then, you will know what to expect from this fantasy-themed slot machine coming from Ash Gaming and Playtech, at least when it comes to the Power Zones bonus feature!

When it comes to the theme, though, Legend of Hydra Power Zones transports you to the Middle Ages in an adventure where you get to help some courageous knights defend 4 hydra heads! 

Besides the interesting adventure, with 15,625 ways to win and plenty of features, this high-volatile game also rewards you up to 10,000x your total stake!

And What About The Theme & Design?

For all the fans of the Greek myths, you will be glad to know that here comes another title revolving around the theme.

This time, the story features the Lernaean Hydra - a fearsome dragon with many heads, each carrying a different feature!

As you would expect from the Playtech, the game comes with high-quality graphics and an overall modern and beautifully-designed visuals.

This cartoonish game is set in a forest with many waterfalls and pillars that feature a Hydra on each of them, creating quite a dramatic sight, while you will also face a four-headed Hydra on the left side of the reels.

The whole action is supplemented by some smooth animations, while, on the blue reels, you will find symbols that include knights, warriors, wizards, and royalty, followed by glowing rocks, decorated with card suits.

The set of special symbols includes Hydra Coins and Wild Crowns.

How Much Can We Bet?

The game is played across 6 reels and 5 rows while offering an amazing number of 15,625 bet ways and an above-average RTP percentage of 96.48%.

Before you start fighting against these monstrous creatures, you need to set your bets that range from $0.10 to $200, while the maximum prize you could win goes up to 10,000x the stake!

The paytable starts with gemstones of various colours that pay up to 20x the stake for 6-of-a-kind, while...

...the highest-rewarding symbols are the king and the queen, paying from 16x to 28x the stake from 3 to 6 in a combination.

The gold crown is the Wild symbol that acts as a substitute for all symbols except the bonus symbols, while the golden coinScatter serves to trigger a feature.

However, neither Wild nor Scatter could create Power Zones, but, we'll come to that below.

What Special Features Can We Expect?

Speaking of the Power Zones, it is the game's main feature, however, one of many.

The thing about it is that any symbol except for Wild and Scatter can be marked as Power Zones both during the base game and the free spins round!

They will then land on the reels and become fixed during the next spins, while also connecting with each other both vertically and horizontally. 

Besides, whenever a new Power Zone symbol lands on the reels, it will expand the existing zone, while when a charged symbol lands within a Power Zone, all symbols in the zone will transform into the same charged symbol. 

Moving onto the 4 Hydra Features that can be randomly triggered during any spin. 

At the start of the game, the first Hydra feature is unlocked, however, if you wish to unlock a new Hydra feature, you need to fill the meter above the reels, and you can do that by landing charged symbols in a Power Zone.

The next three Hydra features are triggered one by one from the bottom, and they award as follows:

• The first Hydra feature – rewards up to 11 Wilds on reels from 2 to 6.
• The second Hydra feature – gives up to 9 extra Power Zones per spin.
• The third Hydra feature - adds x2 win multipliers within Power Zones.
• The fourth Hydra feature – rewards up to 3 extra Power Zones per spin, but also turns the existing Power Zones into a Mystery symbol.

Now, when you manage to unlock all Hydra features, the next filling of the meter will trigger a free respin with a random Hydra feature again!

But, that's not all!

Do not forget about the Bonus Hydra Coin, as at least three of them will trigger the Mighty Hydra free spins!

When that occurs, you will get 12 to 50 extra spins, but you can also retrigger it via 2 to 6 more symbols, that can get you 3 to 50 additional rounds!

Besides, all of the Scatters that helped triggering the feature will turn into a Power Zone, and those Power Zones will not be removed during the bonus game!

Once you use the last extra spin, you will trigger the mega spin that will transform all power zones into the same mystery symbol, that can bring you some impressive prizes!

Not bad at all!

What Is Our Take?

Legend of Hydra Power Zones seems to have it all, an inspiring theme, interesting gameplay, amazing pack of features and a pretty good top prize of 10,000x the stake!

If you liked the previous slot Stallion Strike, then this title will surely appeal to you, but even if you are not familiar with it, the Power Zones feature will give you more than enough excitement to make you try it out!
