Chronicles of Olympus X-UP - general discussion

Do you like this game? Did you hit a big win? Did you experience some technical issues? If there is anything you would like to discuss about Chronicles of Olympus X-UP, you can do so here.

I notice that in your reviews you never mention that the RTP and bet sizes can differ from one operator to another.

Also, why don't you mention the volatility, or even better, the hit rate? These aspects have a much larger effect on the gameplay than the RTP which is based on more spins than any player can reasonably play (hundreds of thousands of spins).

Btw, for this game I found that the RTP can range from 92.1%-96.44%, the volatility is High and the hit-rate is 24.14%.

Because as far as volatility is concerned, many players don't know this concept and don't really appreciate it. 

As far as RTP is concerned, players should also keep an eye on it, because it can change in casinos. Not every provider has such a possibility to give casinos the option to change it, so it would have to be only for certain ones and such a thing can also change over time. So if someone wants to know what the RTP of the game is, I always recommend contacting support or live chat. 

Interesting point of view, I'd say it's a perfect change to teach players something new because they would be better prepared for how a game will feel. Especially if you use hit-rat instead of volatility, although both are much more valuable (and important) info to have than the RTP in my opinion 😉

I certainly agree that this is quite important information and that's why we have a guide written for it, which can broaden the players' horizons. But a lot of them who come don't care much about such things and if someone does, it can be a pretty good debate.🙂

... and as with your other content a very good guide at that. Maybe the best one available on the internet. (because I haven't written one myself yet, hahaha)

But as a responsible gambling advocate I beg to differ, I think it's important, or our responsibility even, to 'make them' aware as much as possible.

My approach would be based on the idea that if you don't make it visible, you will withhold players from the opportunity to become curious or point out there is a horizon to broaden.

"What's this metric I never heard of? If they mention it, it might (must) be important". They can always chose to ignore it, but at least you provide them with the opportunity.

Similar to another discussion I had elsewhere on the forum about addiction. This is the internet, it's based on links, so don't be afraid to use them wherever and whenever you can (as long as it's relevant).

On the other hand, maybe I should keep this advice to myself and my clients, you're a big enough competitor as it is 😉

PS, I hope you don't mind such discussions in public under a game page.

It doesn't matter at all because you have also expressed yourself about the game and your opinion and attitude. We have no problem at all with some constructive criticism and it might not be a bad idea to at least incorporate such things in the future. So maybe we'll talk about it in the future with the team and see if something comes up. Maybe they will have reasons why it shouldn't be that way again, but everything should always be clearly explained. 

Of course, it would be great if the players were aware and knew such gambling-related words that are relevant. But sometimes it is good to educate them. That's why I'm glad when someone asks questions and we also come across topics that are often not discussed by players.🙂
