Forge of Olympus

Players aren’t heading to Mount Olympus alone in Forge of Olympus, a slot game created by leading developers Pragmatic Play. They will be joining the Greek God known as Hephaestus on the mountain, where blacksmiths and metal workers also gather as they go in search of precious gemstones and other types of valuable treasures.

The Greek mythology theme is one that slot players will know well, but Forge of Olympus is aesthetically pleasing, has a soundtrack that fits the idea, and has some fun features. The multi-level free spins bonus round will grab the attention, especially as it combines with multipliers worth up to 100x, which can never be a bad thing.

Pragmatic Play also ensure there’s no compromise on quality or experience regardless of what device players are spinning the game’s six reels on, especially mobile devices. And this has been the approach with other hit slots from the respected studio, like Rabbit Garden, Release the Kraken and Wild Celebrity Bus, to name a couple.

In Forge of Olympus, players head to Mount Plumpus and will be mixing with blacksmiths and metal workers. So, seeing gemstones on the paytable as the lower-paying symbols is no surprise. There are five types of gemstone – orange, pink, blue, green and yellow – and they can pay up to 10x the bet.

Alongside the five types of gemstones, there are four theme-related symbols, and they naturally pay more than the gems. A jewel ring, goblet, spartan warrior helmet and medusa coin are the theme-related icons we’re talking about, and they pay up to 50x.

Two special symbols are also included: the hammer multiplier, which can produce multipliers worth up to 100x, and the Hephaestus scatter, which is integral for triggering the free spins feature.

Players will need to find at least eight symbols in the game area to create a win, and this is due to the scatter pays system deployed by Pragmatic Play. When winning combinations are found, the tumble function will come into effect. The tumble function is essentially winning symbols being removed from the grid, with icons from above falling into the spaces left. So, multiple tumbles can rack up in a single spin. It’s also worth noting that the hammer multiplier values occurring during tumbles will be added together and applied to the final win.

Four, five or six Hephaestus scatter icons will produce ten, fifteen or twenty free spins, alongside bet payouts worth 3x, 5x or 100x, respectively. The free spins feature is multi-level, and players will always begin at level one, with the hammer multiplier determining the levels that can be unlocked.

So, for example, level one will see the hammer multiplier value at 2x-100x, whereas collecting more, fifteen in total, and players will have a multiplier value on their hands worth 50x-100x. The longer the feature goes on, the more likely the higher multiplier values will be. And knowing that three more scatters will produce another five free spins is only going to help with that.

Greek Mythology-themed online slots are popular, and they're popular because they always pique players' interest. Pragmatic Play takes up the mantle with Forge of Olympus and aims to make a game for the genre that stands out from the crowd. They do this with great design work and a multi-level free spins feature that will only add to the intrigue.
