Amazing Legends Olympus

Amazing Legends Olympus Review

Get ready to ascend to the ancient Greek version of heaven in Amazing Legends Olympus slot. Set against this divinely inspired background, the game plays out on a 5x3 grid with its 5 mythological characters featured above the reels. They are responsible for collecting their respective bonus symbols, which may trigger the bonus round. We’ll get to that soon enough, but let’s cover the basics first.

You start by choosing your bet level between €0.2 and €50 per spin, which should cater to most player types. Winning combinations land from the leftmost reel towards the right, and you need at least 3 matching symbols on a payline to win. There are 20 fixed paylines in this game, and the 4 premium symbols pay between 2 and 5 times the stake for 5 of a kind wins. The Pegasus is the top-tier symbol, followed by a helmet, harp, and vase. The lower-value royal symbols (A to 9) all pay 1x your stake for 5 of a kind.

The base game is pretty barebones, with only Wild symbols to spice things up a bit. Wilds display the Mount Olympus temple, substituting for all paying symbols to help complete or improve wins. The Wild symbol is also the highest value symbol in the game, awarding 10x your stake for 5 of a kind. As mentioned, the gods above the grid collect their designated bonus symbols whenever they appear, which may or may not trigger the bonus round each time.

Each god represents a unique bonus round upgrade, including benefits like position multipliers, collector symbols, and even an extra grid. All godly bonus symbols present on the triggering spin contribute their special feature, with up to all 5 being possible in the same bonus. It’s a Hold and Win feature with a 5,000x full-grid jackpot being the main target. Other than that, you should know that Amazing Legends Olympus is a high volatility game with an above-average RTP of 96.51 %.

Amazing Legends Olympus Features

You can bring with you up to 5 godly powers in the same Amazing Legends Bonus in the Amazing Legends Olympus slot. Let’s take a closer look at how it all works!

Amazing Legends Feature

The 5 Amazing Legends are displayed as different Greek mythology gods and characters above the reels. Each character is associated with a specific Bonus symbol collected by the character whenever it lands, which may trigger the Amazing Legends Bonus Feature. Whatever bonus symbol (or symbols) triggered the feature determines which special upgrades you’ll bring with you into the bonus round.

Either way, you start with 3 respins in this hold & win-style bonus, and the spin tally resets to 3 each time you land at least one non-blank symbol. The Prize symbols land with cash prize values that are awarded at the end of the bonus, but you can also land Amazing Boost, Amazing Blast, and Amazing Collect symbols. The bonus round is over when you run out of respins or fill the grid, and the latter awards the Mega Jackpot worth 5,000x your stake.

Zeus Feature (Amazing Collect)

If the Zeus Bonus symbol is collected as the Amazing Legends Bonus triggers, you activate the Amazing Collect feature for the duration of the bonus round. This symbol collects all regular cash prize symbol values in view whenever it lands, but this only happens once and not on subsequent spins. Prizes are boosted before being collected if you also land an Amazing Boost symbol.

Athena Feature (Amazing Boost)

The Amazing Boost symbol appears with a random value which is added to a random amount of regular cash prize symbols. This boost occurs on each subsequent spin after the Amazing Boost symbol has landed, but only if the Athena Bonus symbol was collected as the bonus round was triggered.

Hades Feature (Extra Grid)

If the Hades Bonus symbol was part of the triggering spin, an extra 5x3 grid comes into play. This means you get twice the play area compared to bonus rounds without the Hades feature active. The 15 positions of each grid spin independently, and it may help prolong the bonus round since one grid can be active longer than the other.

Apollo Feature (Amazing Blast)

If the Appollo Bonus symbol is collected on the spin that triggered the bonus round, the Amazing Blast symbol may appear during the feature. This symbol displays a random value that is added to a random amount of regular cash prize symbols. This value can be added up to multiple times to the same cash prize symbol.

Hercules Feature (Position Multipliers)

If the Hercules Bonus symbol partakes in the triggering spin, each position gets upgraded with a random multiplier as the bonus round starts. When the bonus round ends, these position multipliers boost all cash prizes in their respective positions.

Multiple Features

If you trigger the Amazing Legends Bonus with multiple bonus symbols, these can interact in different ways that you should be aware of. If you get the dual grid set via the Hades feature, Amazing Collect symbols will only collect the cash prizes on the grid they appear on. The same goes for Amazing Blast symbols. Also, Amazing Blast symbols will add their value before the prize symbols are collected by the Amazing Collect symbol.

Theme & Graphics

With the majestic stairway to the heavenly Olympus temple in the backdrop, Amazing Legends Olympus prominently features its gods and legends above the 5x3 grid. You’ve got Hercules on the far right, followed by Hades, Zeus, Athena, and Apollo. Hades has a darker aura, signifying his role as the god of the underworld, while the other characters shine bright. You’ll spin the reels accompanied by an epic soundtrack, landing classic ancient Greek icons with the winged Pegasus horse as the top-tier symbol.

Our Verdict

While a lot of different Greek mythology legends has certainly been packed into this game, Amazing Legends Olympus still cannot escape coming across as a bit of a cliché. It’s not that the visuals aren’t decent and the soundtrack somewhat engaging, but you just get the sense that you’ve seen it all so many times before. At least this goes for veteran players although newcomers with a fresh pair of eyes may see it differently.

Another thing I don’t like is when the turbo spin option is hidden like it is in this game. I’m a fan of fast-paced games, or at least having that option, not least when there are no base game features to keep me entertained. To find the turbo spins option in the Amazing Legends Olympus slot, you need to hold down the spin button to open the Autoplay menu. This is not something all players will necessarily do, and it took me a while to discover this hidden feature.

Anyway, once I finally got settled in with a decent spin pace, the base game did not offer many surprises. Wilds tend to land in stacks, which can help land okay top-up wins here and there. However, don’t expect anything noteworthy before the bonus round hits. Another thing I noticed is that you seldom land more than one bonus symbol on the same spin. Even more rarely will you see more than 2 bonus symbols of different kinds appear at the same time.

This means that bonus rounds with multiple features combined are few and far between. Getting all 5 of them in the same bonus seems like a pipe dream in this game. On their own, each bonus feature seldom makes much of a dent, which is a general issue in games like this. Even when you trigger the main attraction, you feel like you’re missing out unless all features are involved. Anyway, Amazing Legends Olympus is an okay release in the Hold & Win and symbols collection genre, but not really that memorable in the grand scheme of things.
