Forge of Olympus review

Theme and Style

Forge of Olympus is themed around ancient Greek mythology, focusing on Hephaestus, the god of metalworking and volcanos.

Players will find themselves in a sweltering workshop fit for a god with lakes of lava and sparks flying everywhere. Hephaestus himself might share some of his knowledge as he crafts helmets and shields for the immortals.

This slot will appeal to players who are looking for a dramatic vibe.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack of Forge of Olympus features harp notes and moody vocalizations. The reels spin and land with a metallic click and a deep voice occasionally says "Olympus" with dramatic flair.

Hephaestus stands beside the reels, poised with an anvil and a hammer. His muscular body gleams as if lit from within, and he stares at players with fiery eyes.

On the reels, players will find an array of gems set in gold, including emeralds, sapphires, and rubies. Embellished goblets, jeweled rings, and war helmets also appear among the selection.

Behind the reels, a sweeping landscape of lava and rock is visible. In the distance, a glowing palace is visible, potentially the home of the gods.

Overall, the soundtrack and landscape of Forge of Olympus create a compelling mythological world.

Gameplay

Forge of Olympus is a six-reel, five-row slot.

Each symbol can pay anywhere on the reels with the total number of matching symbols determining the size of the win. Players must land a minimum of 8 watching symbols to secure a win.

The Scatter symbol pays on any position and appears on all of the reels.

The Tumble feature means that winning symbols disappear after paying out, making way for new symbols to fall in to take their places. Tumbles continue until no more wins are possible.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Multiplier symbol can appear on any reel at random during the base game and the Free Spins feature. Upon landing, the Multiplier symbol will take on a value between 2x and 10x.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when players land at least 4 Scatters anywhere on the reels. The number of triggering Scatters decides the number of free spins as follows:

• 4 Scatters = 10 free spins
• 5 Scatters = 15 free spins
• 6 Scatters = 20 free spins

The Free Spins feature has three levels that players progress through. Every time a Multiplier symbol lands, it is collected in a meter with thresholds for each level.

Players start at Level 1, in which Multiplier symbols have values between 2x and 100x. After collecting 6 Multiplier symbols, Level 2 begins, during which Multiplier symbols have values between 8x and 100x. Once players have collected 5 additional Multiplier symbols, Level 3 begins. Multiplier symbols have values between 15x and 100x during Level 3.

Finally, Level 4 begins, when players collect 4 additional Multiplier symbols. Throughout this level, Multiplier symbols have values between 50x and 100x. All subsequent free spins are played in Level 4.

If at least 3 Scatter symbols land during the Free Spins feature, players are awarded 5 additional free spins.

The maximum win possible for this feature is 5,000x of the player’s total bet.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player of Forge of Olympus is 96.25%, slightly above our yardstick for an average of roughly 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€100.00 per spin.

High volatility makes this slot a great match for our preferred slot machine strategies. We suggest seeking the highest volatility possible when selecting slots.

The Ante Bet feature means that players can increase their bet, potentially changing the way the game behaves. With a bet multiplier of 25x, the odds of triggering the Free Spins feature is naturally higher as more Scatters will be present on the reels on average.

Players can buy into the Free Spins feature if they wish, paying 100x of their total bet to begin the feature at Level 1. Buying into the feature at higher levels has a higher cost.

Conclusion

We recommend this high RTP, high volatility, Greek mythology-themed slot.

With eye-catching animation and a solid array of bonuses, Forge of Olympus is quick to grab attention.

Mathematically inclined players will also appreciate the combination of sky-high volatility and a decent RTP.
