Rise Of Olympus 100

For anyone that likes to play online slots, Rise of Olympus will likely be a familiar title. The original slot machine is hugely popular and quickly soared to the top of many online casino catalogues. Like with many successful releases, sequels have been made, with Rise Of Olympus 100 falling into this category. While the appearance is similar to the first slot, there is a refreshing range of features to cover, all of which will be mentioned in this review! 

Of course, Rise Of Olympus 100 was produced by Play'n Go, a company that has established itself as a titan within the iGaming space. Besides the Rise Of Olympus series, they have created various other leading slots, such as Annihilator and Secret of Dead. Rise Of Olympus 100 also shares many similarities with Moon Princess, which also got a '100' remake.  

Interestingly, there are no playing card-themed symbols in Rise Of Olympus 100. First is a lightning bolt, followed by a trident, a helmet, and a lyre. Next are the premiums, shown as the Gods Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. These can award up to 10x if five match along a payline. The last symbol is a wild icon, displayed as a golden coin, which can replace any of the aforementioned symbols to create a matching combination. 

As mentioned in the introduction, there is a range of different bonus features to discuss in Rise Of Olympus 100. The first is the cascade mechanic, which will remove any matching symbols from the board. However, instead of more dropping in, the icons already on the board will move to fill any gap after the cascade has happened. If the board is cleared completely, or just wild icons remain, players will be awarded with 50x the stake size.

In addition to this, when a combination of exactly three symbols is removed, a wild symbol will fill the middle space. After every cascade, 1x will also be added to the potential win multipliers, to a maximum of 100x. This will be applied to any matching combinations or the 50x awarded for clearing the board.

A spin modifier can randomly trigger during any spin in which no combinations are created. There are three outcomes, with 'Hades' being the first. This modifier will change one set of symbols into another, which can help to create combinations. If the 'Poseidon' modifier is triggered, 1 or 2 wild symbols will be added to the board. Finally, the 'Zeus' feature will remove two different types of symbols from play for that spin.

Many players will notice the meter that appears in the bottom left of the screen. It looks like a shield and contains three sections. Should a combination of 3, 4, or 5 God symbols form a matching combination, 1, 2, or 3 parts of this meter will be filled. When this happens, all of the aforementioned modifiers will trigger simultaneously. If the board is full, the free spins mode will trigger.

When it comes to the main bonus mode, players have the option to choose their bonus. Hades, Poseidon, or Zeus can be selected, awarding 4, 5, or 8 spins, respectively. Any win multipliers that accumulate in this mode will not reset between each spin, and filling the meter again will award 4, 3, or 2 more spins. 

With many new features being added to the mix, many punters would agree that Rise Of Olympus 100 has done the original release justice. A variety of mechanics have also stayed the same, including the cascade mechanic and how the main bonus mode is triggered!
