The Legend of Olympus Slot
The Legend of Olympus is a slot game that can be found in many different Microgaming-powered online casinos. At first glance, however, we can see that this is not something created by Microgaming. Instead, it was developed by Rabcat, one of Microgaming partner studios. Several years the ago the two development houses came to an agreement and so it came to be that Rabcat titles now run on Microgaming’s Quickfire platform.
Back to the game in question, The Legend of Olympus comes with 5 reels and 20 paylines. The betting limits are acceptable, decent even, with the game allowing for a maximum bet of up to 40.00. This is done by betting 2 coins on each payline, with each coin having a maximum value of 2.00. These are certainly not the most impressive limits, but they should satisfy almost everyone.
As the name of the game suggests, The Legend of Olympus portrays various Greek Gods on its symbols, as well as several objects from that culture. Here we will see Zeus, Ares, Poseidon, and other godly figures. The game pays left to right, with combinations starting from the leftmost reel. All in all, there are three special symbols worthy of note – the Wild, Scatter, and Bonus.
The Wild is represented by an old man and it can substitute for any other symbol in the game, except the Scatter and Bonus. The Scatter bears the likeness of Zeus and is named ‘Free Spins Symbol’ in this game, which pretty much gives away its purpose. The Bonus symbol will award anyone with a nice cash prize if they can manage to form a combination.
| Symbol | Two on a Payline | Three on a Payline | Four on a Payline | Five on a Payline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spear | 4 | 8 | 10 | 20 |
| Goblet | 4 | 8 | 20 | 100 |
| Helmet | 8 | 10 | 50 | 150 |
| Shield | 10 | 14 | 100 | 200 |
| Hephaestus | 0 | 20 | 100 | 500 |
| Hera | 0 | 30 | 200 | 1000 |
| Ares | 0 | 50 | 400 | 2000 |
| Poseidon | 0 | 400 | 4000 | 40000 |
| Hades /Wild/ | 10 | 400 | 4000 | 40000 |
Bonus Rounds and Features
The Legend of Olympus does not offer any terribly interesting features, though there are still some worth mentioning. The Scatter symbol has the potential to trigger a round of free spins, more specifically between 5 and 7 of them. This does not sound especially rewarding and when you factor in that there is no winnings multiplier involved, the feature becomes even less appealing. The truth of the matter is that the free spins can hardly pay for themselves, let alone bring in any serious wins, except in some rare situations.
The other feature is triggered by the Bonus symbol when you hit 3 or more on the same spin. This bonus round will have you picking and choosing different rewards, that can go up to 1,000x the triggering spin. This round pays 5x at the very least, so it can be profitable in some sense. The negative about it is that is not very interesting. There are a plethora of games with unique and engaging bonus rounds, that make this feature appear timid and uninspired.
Conclusion
The Legend of Olympus is not the best game that you can play on the Internet. It is not even a good game by many gambler’s standards. Seeing it bear the Quickfire logo makes us question Microgaming’s decision to throw their hat in with this software provider. The best part of The Legend of Olympus are the visuals. The game feature 3-dimensional, beautifully rendered, and colorful graphics.
The level of detail in here surpasses most other slot games that we would describe as good-looking. Still, this alone cannot hold up the game, due to how stale the base gameplay is. If something about this game appeals to you, then you could play it in free mode, but we cannot recommend it.
