The arrival of Rise of Gods: Reckoning, the latest Play’n GO video slot that is themed after Greek mythology, got us thinking about how the team behind Play’n GO is fascinated by mythology, especially the one coming from the land of Hellenes.

Greek mythology is filled with interesting stories and characters that are perfect for many industries, including the video slot industry. Apart from having a chance to win big, spinners also have an interesting plot to follow. In this text, we will give you some info about the four most popular Greek mythology video slots that cane straight from Play’n GO’s creative kitchen.

1. Rise of Gods: Reckoning

The latest addition to the Greek Mythology series is Presenting Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon as modern deities that live among ordinary people. The three brothers have chained their father Kronos, but it seems that the merciless titan is ready to get back and destroy everything the three deities have created, including planet Earth.

This is a medium volatility video slot that is played on a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines. With a maximum payout of 5,000x the bet, the 2022 release comes with an RTP of 96.2%. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are the three top-paying regular symbols that can turn into stacked icons that cover entire reels. This is called the Wrath of Gods feature and is randomly triggered. The feature brings two randomly selected reels that will contain high-value deities fully stacked.

As for the win multiplier feature, it starts at 1x. Each time you land a fully stacked deity icon, the win multiplier goes up by 1x. Cronos, the titan in chains, is the father of these three gods, and also the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature.

Get three Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger 6 free spins. If there is an active win multiplier on a triggering spin, it is carried over to the Free Spins feature. The win multiplier resets during the base game. In free spins, it does not reset and can get pretty high. There are no limits when it comes to how many times the feature can be retriggered.

2. Rise of Olympus

Everything started with a five-reel, five-row video slot released in 2018, where players had the opportunity to follow the adventures of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Rise of Olympus is a highly volatile video slot that comes with an RTP of 96.50% and offers a maximum payout of 5,000x the bet per spin. To win payouts, players need to land 3 or more matching icons in a row, either horizontally or vertically.

Thanks to the Cascades feature, winning symbols will be removed, leaving one Wild behind to help you land more winning combos. The goal is to clear the entire grid. In this process, you will have the help of Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon, which will use their powers in non-winning spins. The powers include destruction of 2 sets of random symbols, added Wilds, and symbol transformation. This is called the Hand of God feature and is triggered on non-winning spins.

Fill the Meter on the left side of the screen by landing winning combos with Gods high-value symbols. When the Meter is full, the Wrath of Olympus bonus is activated. In one spin, you get the help of the Hand of God from every deity included.

Clear the grid to trigger free spins. Pick one of the gods (Hades, Poseidon, Zeus), and you will get the corresponding number of free spins (4, 5, 8), with the respective Hand of God power. Also, the win multiplier goes up in free spins, after each successive win. The max multiplier is 20x.

3. Rise of Athena

Now, it is time to mention other deities that appear in the series. Athena is a beautiful goddess, the daughter of Zeus. Do not get fooled by her dazzling beauty. She is the goddess of war and extremely dangerous. Rise of Athena is a five-reel, three-row video slot that benefits from 10 paylines, which pay left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel.

Three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts. Athena is the only icon on the reels that pays even for two of a kind. This medium volatility game has an RTP of 96.2% and offers the max payout of 5,000x the bet per spin.

The Play’n GO title offers standard Wilds and multiplier Wilds. Standard Wilds can appear anywhere on the reels and substitute for all regular symbols. As for multiplier Wilds, they also substitute for all icons but the Scatter. Also, they come with 1x, 2x, and 3x multipliers on them. These Wilds appear only on central reels. If more than one multiplier Wild is a part of the winning combination, the multipliers combine. The win multiplier can be as big as 27x.

The Owl of Athena is the Scatter that triggers free spins. Three or more of them on the reels will get you 12 freebies. When a multiplier Wild lands on the reels, it becomes sticky. With each successive free spin, the value of the multiplier decreases by 1. When the multiplier Wild reaches 1x, the Wild is removed from the grid. Unfortunately, the Free Spins feature cannot be retriggered.

4. Myth

Here, you will follow the adventures of a Greek warrior who resembles Hercules. The hero will battle against the most ferocious creatures from Greek mythology, including Cyclops, Cerberus, and Spinx. This five-reel, three-row video slot benefits from 20 fixed paylines.

Hercules is the Wild that substitutes for all regular icons. It is also the top-paying symbol in the game, offering 5,000x for five of a kind. The Amphora is the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature. Players get 15 freebies with a 3x multiplier applied on all wins. Get more Scatters on the reels during the feature to trigger up to 60 free spins.

5. Divine Showdown

This five-reel, three-row video slot with 20 paylines is partly connected to Greek mythology thanks to Athena. Here, you have powerful deities from different cultures – Athena, Thor, Wukong, and Anubis. The Play’n Go product has a multiplier reel above the grid, giving you a random 2x – 10x multiplier on each spin.

Power Spin is a randomly triggered feature that gives you a respin with the powers of one of the gods, such as Wild reels, symbols that transform into Wilds, synced reels, and icons that transform into high-paying Thor symbols.

Three Scatters trigger the Free Spins feature. Pick your god and prepare for battle. The battle reel will spin to determine whether you get a free spin or battle against another god. If you get a battle, your deity fights against the other. If you lose a battle, you lose one life. The feature ends when you lose all your lives.
