The Myth review

Theme and Storyline

The Myth slot is themed around medieval fantasy.

Players will wander a chilly mountainside looking for dragons, precious stones, and magical wolves. The mythical world may bring to mind Game of Thrones and similar fantasy narratives.

The characters and setting have a familiar vibe that lovers of Celtic or Nordic lore may especially enjoy.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack of The Myth slot, is a calm instrumental tune that will bring to mind the traditional music of medieval times. This helps establish acinematic mood but doesn’t create much tension for gameplay.

The backdrop is a picturesque landscape with snowy mountains and a crystal lake. This adds to the sweeping sense of adventure in this game.

The Myth slot’s characters include symbols of a fierce Dragon, Skadi (a supernatural woman with icy eyes), and a plethora of ancient-looking stones. A bearded Viking adorned with blue warpaint seems to be the one most on the player's side. His expression is encouraging, as if he is about to follow us into battle along with the Wolf.

Overall, the animation and music of this game feel consistent with the theme and create a solid sense of place.

Gameplay

The Myth slot is a five-reel, three-row game with 10 win lines.

After each spin, the player is offered the Risk’n’Buy feature. Players have the option to either continue playing or opt to move directly into one of the four random Bonus features (details below). If a player has won enough, they can risk their winnings in the bonus feature. If their winnings from the spin is not high enough they can buy into the feature using their account balance.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

In The Myth slot, the Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol.

Landing 3 Scatter symbols awards the player 10 free spins. Landing 4 Scatters increases the free spins to 15, and 5 Scatters provides 25 free spins.

There are 4 types of Free Spin features in The Myth slot:

• The Dragon Free Spins Feature: Wilds turn into Wild Dragon symbols and after every free spin one reel transforms into a Wild Dragon reel fully made of Wilds. Additionally, any other Wild Dragon symbols that land during that spin also expand to fill their reels allowing the player up to five Wild Dragon reels.
• The Viking Free Spins Feature: Wilds turn into Viking Wilds and any symbols adjoining them (excluding Scatters) also turn into Viking Wilds.
• The Skadi Free Spins Feature: Any Wilds that land during this feature turn into Skadi Wilds. After each free spin finishes, the Skadi Wilds move one reel to the left until they drop off the reels. The Skadi Free Spins feature ends when the symbols drop off the reel.
• The Wolf Free Spins Feature: Wilds turn into Wild Wolf symbols and during each free spin 3 will be placed randomly on the reels.

Conclusion

We do not recommend The Myth slot due to its low RTP and medium volatility.

With its devastatingly low RTP, this game is simply not redeemable despite its well-executed theme. It is unfortunately quite clear why this game is not more popular.

Even the most enthusiastic fantasy fans would do well to skip this one entirely and take their cash where it can pay off better.
