Champions of Olympus (Games Global) – Review & Demo Play

Champions of Olympus Slot Information

Champions of Olympus is a video slot from Gold Coin Studios with 5 reels and 5 rows. You create wins by landing 3 or more of the same symbol either horizontally or vertically on the grid. The theme leans on ancient Greek mythology, with Zeus appearing as a Lightning Wild. The reels sit before Greek buildings, and on bonus activation you rise among the clouds. I play it on mobile, desktop and tablet without fuss, and the feature set feels properly stacked.

How to Play Champions of Olympus Slot

I load the game on mobile or desktop, step past the splash, and the controls sit to the right of the 5x5 reels. Using the plus and minus, I set stakes from 0.20 to 20. The central button spins a single round at the chosen stake, and Autoplay runs a batch of preset spins. There are no paylines here, as wins come from clusters of 3 or more matching symbols that connect horizontally or vertically, which suits the Rolling Reels flow.

Turbo switches the reel speed between normal and faster modes when I want to pick up the pace. Menu opens the paytable so I can check symbol values and feature rules, while Help presents the game rules window in full. I prefer to keep Turbo on during the base game and switch it off for Link&Win, as the sticky symbols and modifiers are worth watching when values jump around the grid during the respins sequence.

Symbols and Payouts in Champions of Olympus

The paytable holds eight regular symbols. The lower paying set is shields coloured green, blue, red and purple, with five of a kind paying 1x the bet. The higher paying set is mythological statues of the One-eyed, Lion, Bull and Medusa, where three to five of a kind deliver up to 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x the bet. Wins form from clusters in horizontal or vertical adjacent positions, and a symbol can contribute to different paying combinations at the same time.

The wild symbol is a golden W that substitutes for other symbols and carries pays of 1x, 5x or 25x for 3, 4 or 5 in a cluster. Zeus Lightning Wild is the special wild that drives features. When wins land, Rolling Reels remove the paying symbols and drop new ones. Each time a wild is included in a win, the Multiplier Trail to the left climbs by 1x for the next cascade, applies to revealed wins, then resets when no more wins appear.

Champions of Olympus Bonus Features

Rolling Reels trigger on every paid spin, and the Multiplier Trail starts at 1x. Each wild involved in a win pushes that total up by 1x for the next roll. Zeus Lightning Wilds that help form wins place up to four extra wilds on the grid for the following cascade. Wilds can stack on a position to create a multiplier wild. Power of Zeus can trigger at random in the base game, turning three to six low symbols into wilds.

Link&Win starts when I have collected eight Zeus Lightning Wilds that were included in wins, and that count is saved between bet levels. The round begins with three sticky symbols valued 1x to 3x and three respins. Any new Link&Win symbol that lands sticks and resets the counter to three. It ends when the respins run out or the 5x5 grid is filled with sticky symbols. Filling the grid awards the maximum exposure of 12,500x the stake.

As more Link&Win symbols land, special modifiers become available. At 13, Cyclops arrives with 1x to 4x, doubles a random symbol’s value to itself, then adds its total to a random symbol. At 16, Lion adds 2x to 4x to 2 to 4 symbols. At 19, Bull absorbs the value of 2 to 4 symbols. At 22, Medusa adds to adjacent symbols. Zeus can also land, pays 5x and adds 5x to 2 to 5 symbols. After one organic trigger, Bonus Buy costs 70x, not available in the UK.

RTP & Volatility in Champions of Olympus

The maths profile fits a high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.07% and a hit frequency around 52.31%. Across sessions I rate the pace as steady in the base game thanks to Cluster Pays, Rolling Reels and the Multiplier Trail, while Link&Win carries the headline potential. The top win sits at 12,500x the bet, which can arrive via a full screen in the respins. Do note that adjustable RTP ranges may apply depending on the setup.
