Forge of Olympus

Forge of Olympus is an online slot machine with the Scatter Pays mechanism. Although you will especially like to see Multipliers or unlock the bonus game, the payouts are certainly not bad. With 8 Medusa symbols, you’ll have 10 times your bet just like that.

With such payouts, it is not surprising that this game has an extremely high variance. The theoretical payout percentage is fine at 96.25%. You can read how Forge of Olympus came out of the test in this slot machine review.

So the win system of Forge of Olympus is Scatter Pays. So you look for at least 8 times the same symbol in your play area to win. The more pieces, the higher the payout will be. Thus, it already goes up when you see an identical symbol 10 times. And at 12 or more times the same symbol, you have the maximum prize up for grabs.

After every winning combination, the Tumble feature triggers. The used symbols disappear and you get as many new ones to complete your 5×6 play area up to 30 symbols. After this, it looks for new combinations. On a long streak, it’s helpful that you can see a list on the left of every combination you already had.

You have a god that gives you Multipliers, the Scatter Pays mechanism and Free Spins starting from 4 Scatters.

On Forge of Olympus you can bet $0.20 per spin, but also $100. When you start up the slot, it’s set at $2. You adjust it with the plus and minus next to the spin button. You choose the value of each coin and the number of coins. This is then done x20 for your total bet.

As you play, you encounter 11 different symbols. You have 5 colored gems with a low value. This goes from 0.25 to 1 times your bet for 8 symbols and from 2 to 10 times the bet for 12 symbols or more. In addition, you have ring, cup, helmet and Medusa coin as symbols with high payout. If you see the woman with snakes as her 12 times in your play area you just have 50 times your bet to grab.

Bonus features of Forge of Olympus

There are two special symbols that we haven’t mentioned yet. These have everything to do with the bonus features. Which features Forge of Olympus has exactly, what they do and how you trigger them, you can read below.

Multiplier

At random moments, Hephaestus beats furiously on his wrought iron and shouts “Olympus”, “Fire and iron”, “I dare you” or “Immortal Power”. This means that a Multiplier is imminent. Depending on the quote, you have one of x2, x8, x15, x50 or more up for grabs. The maximum Multiplier is x100.

The Greek god of forging not only gives you Multipliers during new spins, but also during the Tumble feature. If you see multiple Multipliers on your screen, they are added together before multiplying your winnings. This always happens at the end of a spin.

Free Spins Bonus

The final symbol of Forge of Olympus is the Scatter showing Hephaistos himself. In a Scatter Pays slot machine, this is actually not the best name, but that aside. If you have 4, 5 or 6 of these symbols in your play area, you trigger the bonus game with 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. On top of that, you get 3, 5 or 100 times your bet as a payout from the Scatter.

The Free Spins bonus round has four levels. The higher your level, the better the average Multiplier will be. To advance to the next level, you need to save Multiplier hammers. Moreover, you win 5 extra spins by collecting at least three new Scatters in a spin. Starting from 4 of them will give you their payout on top of this.

Ante Bet and Bonus Buy

To trigger the Free Spins bonus game faster, Forge of Olympus has two features. With the Ante Bet, you bet 1.25 more per spin and double your chances of getting at least 4 Scatters. This is because more of those symbols are then added to the reels.

The quickest way to the Free Spins bonus, however, is to use the Bonus Buy. For 100 times your bet, you get a spin with at least 4 Scatters where the bonus game starts at level 1. By paying 200, 400 or 500 times your bet, you may immediately start on level 2, 3 or 4.
