Masters of Olympus (Microgaming) – Review & Demo Play

Masters of Olympus Slot Overview

Snowborn Games follows its Norse outing with Masters of Olympus, a 5x4, 1,024 ways slot released by Games Global. I'm up on Mount Olympus where Zeus stands beside the reels hurling wilds and setting off Zeus Respins with expanding wild reels. The setup keeps things light and cartoonish yet the math is robust, packing high volatility, a Spartan Booster mechanic, and a hold 'n win style bonus loaded with god modifiers. It looks breezy but the numbers, features and max win say otherwise.

Masters of Olympus Slot Information

Snowborn opts for a cartoonish design with pastel colours that pop, marble pillars framing the grid, and Zeus clutching a lightning bolt next to a Greco portal. The soundtrack swells as wins build, while thunderous stings hit on spins and features. It feels familiar for a Greek theme yet fresh enough to stand out. When the bonus round arrives the layout gains two extra locked rows which Poseidon can open later, changing the feel without losing the clean presentation.

Action plays out on a 5x4 grid with 1,024 ways to win. Wins land with three to five matching symbols from the leftmost reel on adjacent reels. Stakes run from 0.10 to 25 per spin, adjusted using the simple +/- controls beneath the reels. The interface also brings auto spins and quick play, so setting up sessions is straightforward. I like that the ways system can rack up multiple combinations on a single spin, especially when wilds help connect across the board.

Masters of Olympus Slot Features

Wild symbols are collected in the base game, giving a chance to trigger Zeus Respins. When this kicks in, any wilds on the grid expand to cover their reels and move down one position on each respin. Respins keep coming until no wilds remain. Coin symbols collected during the feature fill a meter, and three coins award the Olympus Bonus. Land three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 to trigger it too. If the Spartan Booster is full, you'll enter the Spartan Bonus instead.

The Olympus Bonus is a hold 'n win round with three respins, resetting whenever a new symbol lands. Silver shields carry 1x-9x, gold shields 10x-50x. Poseidon unlocks one of two locked rows and activates any symbols there. Aphrodite applies a multiplier to that spin and the ones that follow. Ares collects all values once. Athena collects on her spin and every one after. Zeus adds his value to all symbols on each spin. Apollo adds once. Hades reactivates Ares and Apollo. Hot Spots can appear to favour god symbols.

The Spartan Booster collects scatter symbols on reels 1 and 3 into a meter stored per bet. When it's full, the next triggered feature is upgraded to the Spartan Bonus, which plays like Olympus but starts with four respins that reset to four. In some regions a Buy Bonus is offered. You can buy Olympus for 50x, Spartan for 100x, or Spartan with a guaranteed Athena on spin one for 250x. It's a pricey route but it can be great fun when it pops.

Masters of Olympus Symbols and Paytable

The lower-paying symbols are the card suits diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts, paying roughly 1.1x to 1.2x the bet for five of a kind. Higher-paying symbols are Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares and Athena, which award 2x to 3x for five. The wild is a lightning bolt and substitutes all except the scatter. Scatters appear on reels 1, 3 and 5 to trigger Olympus or Spartan. Shield symbols and godly bonus symbols only appear during the bonus rounds.

As a ways slot, multiple five-of-a-kind hits can combine on the same spin, especially when stacked premiums line up. In the hold 'n win feature, silver shields land with 1x-9x values and gold shields with 10x-50x, while god symbols carry values and their abilities. During play I saw hit frequency quoted at 31.08%, so base spins do connect fairly often for a high variance game. Always check the paytable to confirm symbol values and the available RTP version.

Masters of Olympus Slot RTP, Maximum Payout & Volatility

Masters of Olympus runs with variable RTP settings, the highest listed at 96.01%. It's a high volatility slot with max win capped at 20,000x the stake, which aligns with the feature-driven setup. Stakes range from 0.10 to 25 per spin, suiting modest bankrolls, but the swingy nature means sessions can whipsaw. Different RTP versions exist across operators, so check the paytable before you spin. When the gods line up, the hold-and-spin and respin mechanics can stack multipliers into serious totals.

Masters of Olympus Slot Summary

I went in wary of another Greek-themed slot, but Masters of Olympus won me over with its engaging Zeus Respins, the Spartan Booster, and a hold-and-spin that actually holds attention. The cartoonish look works, the pastel colour palette reads well on mobile, and the collection elements keep base play ticking. I rate the Guaranteed Athena buy as a riot when available, though the base grind felt a bit kinder than many high variance rides. Overall, a solid, entertaining spinner.
