Itero review

Theme and Style

Itero is a slot machine that uses the iconography of classical art and the visual effects of the digital age in a way that will remind gamers of the early Assassin’s Creed games.

Players of Itero will find themselves in a world of statues and Greco-Roman myths, as sinister digital glitches play across the screen.

The style serves to give a fresh coating to the well-worn theme of ancient myths.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

As with many Hacksaw Gaming products, Itero does an excellent job with its visuals. The digital glitches are subtle but effective, and they are accompanied by excellent sound design that gives the ancient statuary a modern feel.

The simple, mostly grey color scheme is atmospheric and draws players into a world that is equal parts sinister and thrilling.

All of this is topped off with clear, stylish, but not too flashy animations that make the whole experience of playing the Itero slot pleasant.

Gameplay

Itero is a five-reel slot with four rows and 20 win lines.

The Echo Spins feature livens up the base game and occurs when the Hand of Jupiter symbol lands on the reels along with a winning combination. Itero slot then randomly assigns a number between one and eight, and the spin is repeated that number of times.

Each time the reels land in the same configuration as the triggering spin, allowing the player to repeat their win over and over, including any multipliers that land on the reels. Any multipliers on the reel are accumulative (either multiplicative or additive) over the course of the Echo Spins.

Multipliers only apply during Echo Spins.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Wild symbols can substitute for all symbols apart from the Bonus symbol.

Three Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger the Wrath of Jupiter bonus. Four Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger the Gift From The Gods bonus.

The Wrath of Jupiter bonus is a straightforward free spin bonus with 10 free spins. The reels are also adjusted to make Echo Spins and multipliers more likely.

The Gift From The Gods bonus applies a twist to the way multipliers are used. Multipliers that land are applied to the counter. When Echo Spins are triggered, the current multiplier is applied to all the Echo Spins, then the counter is reset to zero.

Players can also buy directly into these bonuses if they are so inclined.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player of Itero slot game is 96.18%, which is very close to our yardstick for average of roughly 96%. Players who buy directly into the bonuses will get fractionally better RTPs (96.20% for Wrath of Jupiter and 96.25% for Gift From The Gods).

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.10 up to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin.

The volatility of Itero is high. It can get even higher if you buy straight into the bonuses, and highest if you opt for the Gift From The Gods bonus. This high volatility makes it an excellent match for our preferred slot machine strategies which target the highest possible volatility.

For strategic reasons, therefore we recommend playing the Gift From The Gods bonus if you can afford to buy directly into it.

Conclusion

We can heartily recommend this slot.

The unusual take on familiar subject matter, quality animations, and sound design make the front end of the slot greatly appealing.

The surface-level polish of the slot is backed up by an average RTP (96.18%) and high volatility (especially for those who wish to jump straight to playing the bonuses).
