Olympus Hades Megaways (iSoftBet) – Review & Demo Play

How to Play Olympus Hades Megaways Slot

I hit the black circle with two white arrows on the right to start Olympus Hades Megaways. The 6 reels with up to 7 rows spin, and the smaller circle with three arrows handles auto-spins. I tweak the coin value from €0.01 to €1, which sets the total bet between €0.20 and €20 per round. The info sign on the left opens the paytable. There’s a thunderbolt for faster spins and a speaker for sound. I often run the demo first to get a feel.

On each spin I see between two and seven symbols on every reel, so the number of ways to win keeps shifting. When a win lands, the winning symbols disappear and new ones drop from above, while the top tracker feeds from the right. Hades stands on the left, and on any spin he can step in. Those base rounds flow well with Cascading Wins, and the Megaways setup keeps things lively without fiddly steps.

Symbols and Payouts in Olympus Hades Megaways

I always check the paytable first. Olympus Hades Megaways has 12 symbols, with ten standard ones paying on subsequent reels. Six golden playing card icons from 9 to A pay between 0.1 and 1.75 times the bet for six of a kind. Then come the Vase, Medusa, and Cerberus, paying 0.25 to 7.5 times the stake. Hades himself tops the lot, paying 2 to 50 times your total bet, and he pays from two to six.

The Coin with Hades’ bident acts as the Wild. It replaces standard symbols to help form winning ways, but it does not stand in for Hades Free Spins icons. Scatters trigger the bonus rather than pay. Wins arrive when matching symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right, with Hades as the only one paying for two. The top tracker adds extra positions above reels two to five, so I keep an eye on it between drops.

Olympus Hades Megaways Bonus Features

Cascading Wins show up after every hit, clearing winners and dropping fresh symbols. I also watch for the Max Megaways animation. When it triggers, the grid forces the maximum number of symbols and creates 117,649 ways to win on that spin. On any spin, the Hades Wilds Modifier can kick in. Hades adds Wilds to the top tracker, and a win is guaranteed when this occurs. That nudge from the god of the dead can turn a dud into a chain.

The free spins round begins with four or more Hades scatters. I’ve landed 4, 5, and 6 scatters for 12, 17, or 22 Hades Free Spins. A multiplier starts at x1 and climbs by +1 after every cascade, and it does not reset until the feature ends. During free spins, hitting three or four scatters on the top tracker adds +5 or +10 extra spins. Hades can add a walking wild to the rightmost cell of the tracker too.

Walking wilds move one position to the left on each new spin and can be used once per spin in a winning cascade before they disappear for that spin. On the next spin they step left again, and up to four can appear on the top tracker. If I want straight access, the Bonus Buy is there. Paying 75 times the bet buys at least 12 Hades Free Spins, which suits me when I fancy bonus action without the wait.

RTP & Volatility in Olympus Hades Megaways

Betting starts at 20 p/c and goes up to €20 per spin on Olympus Hades Megaways, and the Megaways engine deals between two and seven symbols on each of the six columns. The game leans to the highly volatile side, so stretches can be dry while the features carry the weight. The return to player sits at 95.95% in the standard mode and rises to 96.43% when using the Hades Bonus Buy. The cap reaches 117,649 ways to win.
