Age of the Gods Prince of Olympus

Join the journey of the mystical and powerful Hercules in his venture to bring you good spins and lots of prizes. With 5 reels and 25 paylines, Prince of Olympus is yet another instalment into the Age of the Gods series, carrying with it certain expectations in terms of polish, quality, and fun. Will the prodigal son of Zeus manage to live up to the expectations set upon him? If the mouth-watering wins, intriguing special features and the promise of four different progressive jackpots don’t stir you, we imagine you aren’t that serious of a gambler anyhow. So take a spin and join us on the journey to slay the hydra and claim the treasure that it has hoarded!

We are a bit conflicted on how the slot looks. The user interface and symbols are fabulous as we expect them, though the inclusion of poker icons on the playing field doesn’t help Playtech’s case. Even the design of Hercules seems a bit shifty, looking like he would fit in better in a Norse setting rather than the warm Mediterranean climate in which Greece resides. As for gameplay, it has its ups and downs. Unlike other entries in the Age of the Gods series, Prince of Olympus chooses to give bigger focus to special features and the progressive jackpots to grant its wins rather than a steady stream of smaller wins. A personal preference, without doubt, but the game can sometimes drag on for a while without seeing a single win.

If you want to get paid and you have a lucky streak, this slot is awesome for you. As if four different Wilds weren’t enough, you can also win 4,000 coins by spinning five of a kind Cerberuses on the reels. If you’re playing on the largest bet, this translates into a whopping $2,000,000, an insane amount to carry home from just the regular gameplay. On top of this, you have special features that can award multipliers and cash wins, or free spins that will make sure you’re spending even less for a shot at greatness. With a betting range that goes from $0.01 up to $500, Prince of Olympus will appeal to both low rollers and serious gamblers alike, as they will both be able to whet their appetite to what this game has to offer.

We already mentioned the presence of poker symbols on the reels, but to Playtech’s credit, they do look good. Paired with the unique artwork that actually relates to the story of Hercules, you have a good looking slot. Clubs, rings, golden apples, Cerberus, Hydras, and the hero of the hour himself can all be found on the playing field, acting as ordinary or special icons that can change up the gameplay. Hydra are the first one. The nine-headed beast rises from the sea to assault your boat, and you have to defend yourself by firing your arrows or slashing at the creature. The bonus is activated by the Hydra symbol appearing at the same time on the first and fifth reel, and it can reward cash prizes or multiplier increases.

The most boring of the lot, Scatters just use the name of the game to represent themselves. The special it offers is rather basic as well. It provides ten free spins with a 3x multiplier, and those spins can be retriggered. Hydra bonuses cannot occur while the extra rounds are active. Finally, Wilds use Hercules himself to show them off. Prince of Olympus puts its Wilds to good use. First, if he appears on the third reel, he can expand to cover the entirety of the reel, locks in place, and grants you two free re-spins, after which he disappears. If you are lucky to get Wilds to appear on the second, third and fourth reel at once, you get on re-spin with an expanded Wild that takes up all three reels.
