Rise of Olympus is a Greek mythology grid slot from Play'n GO featuring Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. It uses a 5x5 grid where three or more matching symbols in a row or column form a win, followed by cascades. The gods step in with random modifiers, and clearing the grid opens a free spins round with growing multipliers. It suits players who want an active base game and a bonus with real upside.
How does Rise of Olympus work?
Symbols land on a 5x5 grid. Three or more identical symbols next to each other horizontally or vertically create a win. Winning symbols are removed, new ones fall into the gaps, and the cascade continues until no new win appears.
A Pegasus coin wild can appear and substitute for every regular symbol. The gem symbols pay the least, while the gods themselves sit at the top of the paytable.
Stakes typically run from 0.20 per spin, and the game shows a meter of removed symbols that matters for the free spins.
What are the Rise of Olympus bonus features?
Hand of God can trigger after a spin with no win. Hades transforms one symbol type into another, Poseidon adds one or two wilds, and Zeus destroys two symbol types. Each can turn a dead spin into a cascade.
Wrath of Olympus is a rarer feature where all three gods act at once, which can clear large parts of the grid.
Removing every symbol from the grid unlocks free spins. You choose a god: Hades gives 4 spins, Poseidon 5 and Zeus 8, with different recharge amounts. Consecutive wins in the round increase the multiplier, up to 20x, and clearing the grid again pays 100x your stake.
Is Rise of Olympus worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
The default RTP is 96.5%, and operators can run lower versions such as 94.25% or 91.25%. Volatility is high, with most of the top-end potential tied to the multiplier in free spins.
If you enjoy cascading grids with player choice in the bonus, it holds up well. The 5,000x cap is moderate compared with newer sequels, which trade higher caps for even higher volatility.
An RTP of 96.5% is a long-run average over millions of spins: in theory the game keeps about 3.5 of every 100 units wagered. It does not predict a single session. High volatility means long runs of small or no wins are normal, and a large share of the total return is packed into rare feature rounds.
Tips before you play Rise of Olympus
- Open the paytable or game rules before your first spin and check the RTP figure shown there, because Play'n GO offers several RTP settings and the casino picks one.
- Zeus offers the most spins, while Hades and Poseidon offer bigger recharges; neither choice changes the theoretical RTP.
- Do not confuse this game with Rise of Olympus 100, Origins or Extreme, which have different RTPs and max wins.
- Budget for a long session, since clearing the grid to reach free spins is not frequent.
