Day 26 - Rise of Olympus 100 - Slot Review

On day 26, I stayed in the Olympus universe after yesterday’s Rise of Olympus Origins and took on Rise of Olympus 100 by Play’n GO, a cascading game where the win multiplier can climb all the way to 100x. This version was released in 2022.

It’s a 5x5 grid game with a 15,000x max multiplier potential. You win by landing 3 or more matching symbols in a row, horizontally or vertically. All rows and columns are active, so one symbol can be part of several wins at once. Winning symbols are removed, the rest drop down to form new wins, and the win multiplier goes up with every new drop. When a 3 symbol win is removed, a Wild appears in the middle of the grid. Wilds only appear this way, they replace any symbol, and they’re the last thing to go when you clear the whole grid.

If a spin doesn’t win, the Hand of God can step in. The god shown on screen uses their power to help create a win. Hades converts one set of symbols into another, Poseidon adds 1 or 2 Wilds to the grid, and Zeus removes two sets of symbols. The order is always Hades, Poseidon, Zeus, starting from a random one, and it moves on to the next god after each activation.

Next to the grid there’s a meter with 3 sections for the Wrath of Olympus. Only wins with god symbols fill it, and Wilds can help. 3 symbols fill 1 section, 4 symbols fill 2 and 5 symbols fill all 3. Once the meter is full and the wins stop, you get a free round, the multiplier resets, and every drop that doesn’t win triggers a Hand of God power until all three gods have acted, in the order Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. Clear the whole grid during that round and you trigger the Free Spins.

Before the Free Spins start, you pick a god. Hades gives you 4 spins, Poseidon 5 and Zeus 8, and the chosen god’s power triggers on every spin that doesn’t win. The multiplier carries over from the Wrath round and only resets when the feature ends, up to 100x. You can earn extra spins by filling the meter again, which gives you 4 more with Hades, 3 with Poseidon and 2 with Zeus, up to a maximum of 100 spins. Outside of the Wrath round, clearing the grid pays an instant prize of 50x your total bet times the active multiplier.

The winning recipe is the same as in the other games of this series: clear the grid as often as you can and build up the multiplier for a payday in Olympus.

One thing I noticed is that this game has fewer base game wins but better chances of big multipliers in the free spins, so expect more dead spins than in the original game. When you do trigger the free spins, though, the potential is big.

In my session I triggered the free spins about 5 times, so the hit rate isn’t that frequent, but I hit three wins of 100x or more, one of them over 220x.

I ended the session with a loss, but the game delivered again. I loved the free spin music, which ups the tension and adds a bit more excitement to the bonus. It’s another game in this series you can’t go wrong with, and it’s still relevant. 1000 Spins APPROVED!
