Getting Started with Rise of Olympus

Rise of Olympus is an online slot created by Play'n GO and is played on a 5x5 grid. The game accepts bets starting from a minimum of £0.20 up to a maximum of £5.00. Players can adjust their wager before each round by using the plus and minus buttons, or by selecting one of the five bet buttons provided. Once a bet is set, the player starts the round by pressing 'START' or clicking the 'Spin' button.

Understanding the Game Grid and Winning Clusters

The game operates on a 5-reel, 5-row grid where symbols cascade down to fill the spaces. To achieve a win, players must land clusters of at least three matching symbols connected either horizontally or vertically, according to the paytable and game rules. Winning clusters can be formed starting from any position on the grid, and multiple clusters in a single round are added together. Only the highest win for each combination of symbols is paid per game round.

After a winning combination is formed, those symbols are removed from the grid, and the remaining symbols fall down, potentially leading to additional winning combinations in the same round. All rows and columns are active, increasing the chances for symbols to connect in winning clusters.

Wild Symbols and Their Role

The wild symbol in Rise of Olympus is represented by a coin. Wilds substitute for any other symbol to help form potential winning combinations. If a winning combination of exactly three matching symbols is cleared, a wild symbol will appear in the centre position of where those symbols were removed. Wild symbols are also cleared when they are the only symbols remaining on the grid, which may lead to triggering the Free Spins feature.

Special Feature Symbols

In addition to the wild symbol, the grid includes three feature symbols—helmet, trident, and screw—as well as the images of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Forming clusters of these symbols results in different payout values, based on the combinations achieved.

The Hand of God Feature

On non-winning spins, the Hand of God feature may be triggered randomly. Depending on which god—Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades—is currently active on the right side of the screen, one of three unique abilities will come into play to help create possible wins:

  • Hades: Selects a set of symbols and transforms them into another symbol type.
  • Poseidon: Adds one or two wild symbols to the grid.
  • Zeus: Removes two sets of symbols from the grid.

Wrath of Olympus Feature

The Wrath of Olympus feature is triggered when the on-screen meter is fully charged. The meter is filled by winning combinations involving god symbols, with the wild symbol also contributing. Only combinations of three, four, or five of a kind of the god symbols will fill the meter, with three of a kind filling one section, four filling two sections, and five filling all three sections.

Once the meter is full and there are no more wins for that round, the Wrath of Olympus feature is activated. This awards a free spin during which a sequence of Hand of God abilities is performed, one by each god in a set order. After each drop, if no wins are formed, the next god’s ability is triggered, continuing until the sequence is completed. The active god on the screen before activation will remain when the feature ends. Winnings are paid out at the end of the round.

Free Spins Feature

Clearing the grid of all symbols activates the Free Spins round. Players are prompted to choose from three Free Spins options, each associated with a god:

  • Selecting Hades awards 4 Free Spins.
  • Selecting Poseidon awards 5 Free Spins.
  • Selecting Zeus awards 8 Free Spins.

During Free Spins, the chosen god's Hand of God feature is active and triggers on every non-winning spin within the round to assist in forming additional wins. The win multiplier does not reset between each game round in this feature and can increase up to a maximum of x20. The Free Spins round may be extended by refilling the meter using the same rules as the base game. Hades adds 4 extra Free Spins, Poseidon adds 3, and Zeus adds 2. The total number of Free Spins cannot exceed 20. Wrath of Olympus does not occur during Free Spins.

If the grid is cleared again during a Free Spin, an instant prize worth 100 times the total bet is awarded.

Managing Bets and Gameplay

  • Adjusting Bets: Use the five bet buttons or the plus and minus buttons to increase or decrease the stake.
  • Viewing the Paytable: Access the payout information to see values for all symbol combinations in the game.
  • Starting a Game Round: Press 'Spin' or 'START' to begin play with the selected bet value.
  • Automatic Bet Adjustment: If the chosen bet exceeds the available balance, the game will automatically lower the bet to the highest possible stake. This adjustment remains until manually changed by the player.

All winnings from base game clusters, features, and bonus rounds are added together and paid at the end of each game round. Free Spins are played with the same stake as the round that activated them. The bet size cannot be changed during an active game round.

Game Continuity and Malfunction Policy

If a game round is interrupted, the placed bet and all round information are preserved until the game is re-opened, allowing players to resume from the point of interruption. Bets unresolved after two days will be voided. Any malfunction results in all game play and payouts being void.

Rise of Olympus Strategy

There is no Rise of Olympus strategy that can guarantee a win. Like other online slots, the outcome of each spin is determined randomly, so previous results do not influence what happens next.

The most useful Rise of Olympus strategy is to understand how the slot works before playing. Check the RTP, volatility, paylines and available features so you know what to expect from the game. These details can help you decide whether Rise of Olympus suits your preferences, but they do not increase your chances of winning on an individual spin.
