Towers of Olympus

Towers of Olympus Review

This title revisits the classic Greek theme and infuses it with engaging gameplay features and big potential wins. It’s a complex experience with a base game playing field offering 5 reels, 4 rows and 1,024 ways to win. This can expand to as many as 59,049 paylines!

The theme is about Greek mythology, and the designers did a great job with the audiovisuals. There are plenty of slick animations, and the symbol designs are detailed and pleasant to look at!

The slot’s volatility is high, but you can win up to 6,077x your bet with the top RTP setting. That setting also offers a very decent 19.91% hit frequency, and you can enjoy the action for stakes between £0.20 and £100 per spin. The top RTP setting is 96.36%, but you can also sometimes get the game with an RTP of 93.86% or 88.19%. You should avoid those settings if possible, as they also decrease the game’s jackpot.

Towers of Olympus Slot Features

The paytable of Towers of Olympus offers a set of 11 pay symbols, divided into 4 low pays, 3 mid pays, and 4 high pays. For low pays, there are stylish card suits that all pay up to 1x your bet for a full combination. For mid pays, there are horns, shields, and helmets, with these symbols all paying up to 2x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. For high pays, there are then Greek gods, and both Zeus and Hera symbols pay 10x your stake for a full combo.

There are also special symbols in Towers of Olympus, and you can take advantage of Blue Mystery Tower symbols, Wilds, and Scatters. Wild symbols substitute for other pay symbols in winning combos.

Whenever you get one or two Blue Mystery Tower symbols, they will automatically convert into random symbols that can help you get winning combos. If you get three or more Blue Mystery Tower symbols, they’ll turn into Golden Mystery Tower symbols and trigger the Super Spins feature.

At the start of the Super Spins feature, the Golden Mystery Tower symbols will nudge to be as high as the highest-appearing Golden Mystery Tower symbol, which will then determine the number of spins you’ll get in the feature. With each spin, the Golden Mystery Tower symbols will reduce their size by one row, but you can land special Lightning symbols to increase them in size, and expansions can also happen if another Golden Mystery Tower symbol shows up. In the ideal case, you can get a 5x9 playing field with 59,049 paylines, though pay symbols don’t have to be adjacent to each other in order to pay. If all this sounds rather confusing, it’s because it is, though you will get used to it after one or two feature triggers.

If you land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols on the playing field, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 8, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively. Each free spin offers a guaranteed Blue Mystery Tower symbol, and you can get more free spins by landing more Scatters.

To increase your chances of getting free spins, you can activate the Boost option at any point of the game. This will increase your bet size by 50%, but you’ll get more Scatter symbols added to the reels. Alternatively, you can use the Buy Bonus option and just trigger free spins outright for 150x your bet. Using the Buy Bonus option comes with a 97.07% RTP, so it’s not a bad deal at all!

Review Summary

All in all, Towers of Olympus is an excellent and complex slot that we can recommend to all players that want to see something fresh. The Super Spins feature is bound to send your head spinning the first time you trigger it, and you can also enjoy basic free spins to get nice wins. The game’s math model is then entirely fair, too, provided that you do manage to get to its top RTP setting.
