Reels of Olympus Slot Machine

Step into the court of the gods with Reels of Olympus, a slot machine by iSoftBet that is inspired by the myths of Ancient Greece. With 5 reels and 25 paylines, this Hellenistic slot machine promises some wins worthy of Mount Olympus itself, offering at least 5,000 coins to spinners who are lucky enough to unleash the progressive jackpot bounty.

And while players wait for that, they can take in some bonus wins with special multipliers, offering wins worth up to 25,000 coins. Good Zeus, that is some serious prize winning potential.

For the Love of Zeus

Reels of Olympus is a slot machine that will take players to the highest pinnacle of the Ancient Greek world – the pantheon of the gods. This is where it all happened. Where the twelve Olympian gods hung out on a day-to-day basis, with the odd scandal, trial or bout of mischief here and there. It was from one of the peaks of Mount Olympus that Zeus was said to have sat on his throne, unleashing his wrath on anyone who wronged him by throwing almighty thunderbolts in their direction.

It appears as if this slot machine has caught the god of all gods on a bad day, as he appears to be wielding a fresh bolt of lightning, ready to smite one of his subjects. This icon may instil fear into the hearts of many, but it is actually one of the most rewarding symbols in the game, offering punters the chance to boost their betting balance with a progressive jackpot prize. The only other godly icon in the game depicts Hephaestus – the ugly blacksmith god who forged weapons with great skill.

Of course, players will find some other symbols in the game, but they are all taken from the arcade history books rather than from the annals of Ancient Greek mythological history. These icons include BARs and lucky number 7s. They may be a bit uninspired, but at least they have been designed to emulate the aesthetic of old Greek artefacts.

Nectar of the Gods

Without further ado, let's talk business. Reels of Olympus can be played with anywhere between 1 and 25 paylines over the 5 reels while punters can opt to play with 1 to 5 coins of the following values: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00. So, there is every possibility for players to have a spin on this game, no matter what their budget is.

Bet Max for Bigger Wins

It goes without saying that the bigger your bet, the bigger the potential return will be. In fact, players who hit the “Max Bet” button will be in for the biggest wins of all.

That is because when the maximum amount of coins are on the reels, players will be eligible to win one of the three progressive jackpot prizes that are shown above the reels. This effectively replaces the normal payout values for finding three, four or five Zeus characters on a payline. Five Zeus icons with a maximum bet will actually pay out a progressive jackpot that is at least 5,000 coins in value.

Olympus Bonus

This video slot machine has bit of a retro charm to it, which is evident from the lack of any truly big bonus features on the reels. For example, there are no free spins on offer and no multiplying wild symbols to help players build their betting balances.

There are some bonus features, however. First of all, there is an “Olympus Bonus” symbol which will trigger a quick and simple bonus feature which randomly selects a bonus prize from the values in the top right hand corner of the screen. Helping punters trigger this bonus element of the slot machine is a re-spin feature that will effectively give spinners another chance to find three or more bonus icons without taking a penny from the kitty.

Worth a Spin?

Reels of Olympus is a fairly solid video slot machine from iSoftBet, combining a captivating theme with some big winning possibilities. That said, the theme of the game is quite generic and many other software studios have already done it with greater visual flair.

Plus, even though the game features a progressive jackpot and a simple bonus extra, it is lacking some conventional video slot elements such as free spins and wild symbols.
