Olympia

Theme

Welcome to the birthplace of the greatest sporting event in the world!

Slots inspired by ancient Greece and Greek mythology are anything but rare. The amazing influence of this great civilization is felt even today. One of the traditions that the modern world has embraced are the Olympic Games.

Fugaso is taking us to where it all started. Set amid an idyllic countryside, Olympia was the ancient sanctuary, a site where massive Statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, has once stood and the home of the Olympics.

In the background…

…we can see the reels are set in the temple of Zeus decorated with marble floors and statues, high in the clouds.

Dramatic music of string instruments is following the spinning of the reels and the winning combinations are accompanied by lighting.

Betting Options and Symbols

The slot grid consists of 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines which are not fixed.

But before you actually enter this shrine, a bet needs to be set. Players can go as low as 0.02 $ per line or as high as 2.50 $ per line. So, the total bet per spin goes from 0.20 $ up to 25 $.

When it comes to symbols…

…the low – value icons are standard 10, J, Q, K, and A. The last are the highest paying among them and will reward players with 15 x total bet for lining 5 of them.

Making a game inspired by the ancient world of Greeks and not adding at least one of the Gods into a mix, would be ridiculous. The high – value icons, in this case, are all Gods.

Artemis and Hephaestus…

… both the children of Zeus will get you 75 x times total bet for landing 5 on the line. As the ruler of both Gods and humans, Zeus is the highest paying with 500 x total bet. A little less generous is the mighty Poseidon, the ruler of the sea, offering 200 x total bet for the ultimate combination of 5 on the line.

Special Features

Featured on the reels is the Scatter which is represented by the Temple. This symbol also has the qualities of the Wild and can substitute for all regular symbols during the base game.

BUT…

…landing 3 or more of Scatters anywhere on the view will also trigger 10 bonus rounds with a special expanding icon which is randomly selected at the beginning of the round.

ALSO:

This release has a gamble feature. After every successful spin, you will be offered a chance to gamble the amount you just won. If you decide to risk it, you will have to choose between the red and black card. The win is doubled with a correct answer and completely lost if it’s not. Winnings can be gambled up to 5 times.

Conclusion

Overall, it’s a visually appealing slot with standard bonus features.

There is really nothing groundbreaking about this release but is does offer extra spins and expanding symbols which will draw the attention of many players. High rollers won’t be satisfied with the maximum possible bet, but the fact that a progressive jackpot is thrown into this Olympic combination might change their minds.
