Olympus Mania: Hot Bonus Slot Review

If I have my facts right, the Greeks 🇬🇷 invented the Olympic Games but only men were allowed to participate and they had to do so naked. Anyone else think that’s a bit weird?

I imagine wrestling would’ve been particularly interesting, especially in light of the fact that wrestlers covered themselves in olive oil 🛢️ and a thin layer of sand.

Now, why did I write this intro about naked Greeks? I was going to say something about reading my analysis so we don’t lose our shirts 👔, but then things spiralled out of control.

This is Olympus Mania: Hot Bonus slot from Fugaso.

Gameplay

This is the second time in recent weeks that I’m reviewing a game with a jacked and shredded Zeus (the other one was Arc of Zeus slot).

Fugaso has decided to opt for a non-existent background, and they’ve put all of their energy into Zeus and the massive 5-reel, 5-row grid.

Above the grid are the Jackpot prizes (and why they’ve listed them from right to left, I’ll never understand). The Mini pays 10x, the Minor pays 20x, the Major pays 50x, and the Grand Jackpot pays 2,000x.

Interestingly (or maybe worryingly), there are no paylines here. Symbols only pay during the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). games. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. goes from 96.12% (base game) to 96.25% (Olympus feature), the volatility is medium to high, the max multiplier is 5,000x, and the max win is $250,000.

Bitcoin Cash is the only currency you won’t be able to play with.

The Bonus symbol is a lightning bolt and awards prizes of 1x to 4x. The Mystery symbol transforms into any symbol other than the Sticky Bonus. Mystery Jackpot symbols transform into… you guessed it… the Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpots.

The Sticky Bonus symbol and Sticky Mystery symbol can hit randomly and stay in their position until the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). game triggers. Sticky Bonus symbols have a value of 5x to 9x.

The Cash Collect symbol grabs all Bonus and Sticky Bonus symbols’ values (any multipliers are applied to these before the collection). Filling all of the grid positions during any of the Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land.

The lack of a distracting background actually benefits mobile play, as does that overlarge grid. Portrait mode is actually the better option.

Conclusion

While Olympus Mania: Hot Bonus slot offers three Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). games, it’s clear that the Grand Jackpot only makes up less than half of the max multiplier, so you’ll need to get lucky with some feature stacking to make up the numbers.

And here’s some other rough news: every non-feature spin in the base game results in a total loss due to the lack of paylines. Landing 5 symbols on the middle row simultaneously is very restrictive, too.

The 50x Buy Bonus offers superior value; not only because of the cost, but because you avoid the zero-win base game grind and put yourself into an arena where you can make some money.

This Buy Bonus seems superior to the 150x one, even though the multipliers might come into play. That’s because you’re paying 3x more for guaranteed multipliers but these need to boost your outcome by 10% to 15% on average.

Interestingly, the 400x Buy Bonus is the game’s highest-quality feature purchase with its massive per-attempt exposure. If you have the bankroll for it, that is.
