The newest Play’n GO slot is ready to be launched and we’ve taken a look at it for you. You’ll be forgiven to think that it’s a little familiar.
Rise of Olympus
Ancient Greek is a popular theme among slot developers, but Play’n GO had yet to tackle the Gods of Mount Olympus. Indeed, they have brought us more ancient Egypt, Aztec or Viking slots thus far. So, in terms of theme, this is a nice change.
Zeus, Hades and Poseidon, the three most powerful Gods and brothers of Olympus feature in this game.
They each come with a unique feature that they can randomly trigger on a no-win spin in the base game, and once you activate the free spins, you can also choose which feature you want to play during those spins.
The slot looks great and is played out in a 5×5 grid, where three symbols of the same kind aligning vertically or horizontally anywhere on the grid will pay out. Winnings combinations will then vanish to make room for new symbols. And as an added bonus, the multiplier will increase with every consecutive win. Fill up the meter as well and all three features are played out at once.
Ripping off their own game?
Some you might feel that this sounds quite familiar, the game mechanics and features, that is. There’s a good reason for that because the Play’n GO slot Moon Princess is pretty much the same game. Just with a different theme.
So, why would Play’n GO repeat itself? They don’t usually do that and prefer to offer up something new and unique (except for Book of Dead, which emulates Book of Ra). Well, Moon Princess caters to a very specific market and is super popular among fans of Anime and Manga, especially Sailor Moon. That’s not necessarily something for the European or Western Market, however.
Thus, the developer decided to give us a theme they’ve never done before and game mechanics that are great and known to be working on a different slot. That should satisfy fans and as of the 23rd August, we can try the game and see whether it lives up to our expectations.
