Shadows of Olympus

Players seeking the best online slots will want to look closely at Shadows of Olympus, a Greek epic video slot released by Spin Games.

This game is all about struggle between light and dark, personified by Zeus and Hades. Two Prize Pick bonuses and a massive Battle at Mount Olympus Feature will keep gamblers coming back for more.

Theme

As above, so below…

… this might as well be the slogan of this five-reel slot.

Gameplay takes place in two totally separate, contrasting worlds here: the realm above, ruled by Zeus, and the one below, governed by Hades. The light world features warrior gaming symbols such as centaurs, griffons, and archers; the dark world’s symbols include medusas, muscled cyclopses, dragons, minotaurs, and animated skeletons.

This is not to say that these two worlds have nothing in common! In both worlds, gamblers can hope to trigger the prize pick bonuses, triggered by the appearance of three or more scatter symbols (bearing the game’s title) on the reels.

The appearance of one god will award twice the bet size and switch realms. The appearance of both gods triggers the Battle at Mount Olympus Feature.

Betting Options and Functions

There are 40 adjustable paylines, all paying from left to right. This coin-based slot 1600 credits.

Turbo speed is available for players who prefer a faster game tempo. Autoplay can be engaged for up to 200 spins at a time.

The overall theoretical return to player ratio is slightly above-average at 95.83%.

Bonus Features

• Zeus Pick and Hades Pick Features are triggered by the appearance of three scatter symbol on the middle reels in either base play world.
• Players are taken to a second screen, where five urns (Zeus) or five goblets (Hades) are available.
• Players choose one of the five options. If it contains a prize, that cash prize is awarded, and gamblers pick again. If the vessel is empty, the feature ends.

• Battle at Mount Olympus Feature begins when both Zeus and Hades appear on the outer reels.
• This massive bonus game takes place on a separate screen with three reels: one for extra spins, one for multipliers, and one for characters. The whole armies of Zeus and Hades stand above them, frozen in gray.
• Players begin with eight free spins. This total can grow by one (without limit) with the appearance of three spin symbols on the first reel.
• Three helmet icons illuminate a character above the reels, awarding a cash prize. A specific character can also be illuminated with a single corresponding character.
• The goal is to illuminate all 10 characters depicted on the wall above the reels. Gamblers who succeed in this receive an additional bonus of 50x the total bet.

Our Take

Shadows of Olympus is Spin Games’ most ambitious title yet, and in many ways its most successful. Epic design, combined with epic features, make for a memorable gaming experience gamblers are sure to enjoy.

Fans of this title should check out Triple Bombshell Betties. This is another strong slot from Spin Games with a totally different feel – it emphasizes gorgeous women and 20th century warfare.
