The Legend of Hercules

The Legend of Hercules comes with a side bet that adds some interesting functions to the game, and might be worth a try. Before we get to that, let’s take a look at the basics of this slot. Hercules as a theme is not a stranger in these circles, though it’s not the most common one either.

The reels will pit you against many monsters, and to compensate the variance has been set somewhere between low and medium. Through a combination of features, you can still find some pretty sizeable scores in here.

Theme and Symbols

Ancient Greek legends paint Hercules as a hero above all, half man half god. It’s some of his legendary feats that you get to witness on the reels, from love to fighting. The setting, or the background, brings in more of that mythological aspect, whereas the hero himself seems a bit more grounded. Sound effects are perhaps a bit pompous, fitting the feel of the game perfectly.

Betting Options and Functions

The hero here faces a rather normal setting, with five reels of three symbols each. Thirty paylines cover the area, connecting three to five symbol combos from left to right.

The combinations form relatively often, both thanks to the variance and the high number of paylines. The latter means that the bet is a bit higher, you need to cover all lines after all, but on the other hand, this is well-compensated by the different prizes offered by the slot.

Actually, you rarely see wins that go up to a thousand times your line bet on a slot of this variance.

Features

Want even bigger chances of activating bigger wins? Well then, set the Super Stake on. This increases your bet, but it sets the high-value symbols to land more often. Specifically, lower-value symbols are automatically upgraded to higher-value ones.

The game also comes with stacked scatter symbols. You need a bit more of them than normal to activate bonus spins, but they also show up more often. You can get up to thirty bonus spins this way.

Like the scatter, also the wild stacks. This is wildly more useful, as the wild affects all other symbols as well, making those five symbol combinations much easier to land.

Our Take

The game was published by Stakelogic, though it was actually produced by Hurricane Games, one of those smaller gaming studios. That just as a sidenote that you know what to expect from the latter in future as well - quality games that offer some surprising setups. The theme might not be a fresh one, but the slot gives a new view on it. Try this game!
