Champions of Olympus Review

Get ready for yet another trip to the home of the ancient Greek gods, and we have to say that Gold Coin Studios’ Champions of Olympus took us by surprise in a positive way. The visuals are above par for this genre, which is a feat with so many new installments being churned out all the time, and it’s packed with potentially lucrative features in all stages. You get a wild multiplier system in the base game, as well as extra wilds and multiplier wilds.

This is more than enough to land you solid payouts when the gods are smiling at you, and you will also trigger the Link&Win feature on a fairly regular basis. It’s not your standard hold and win style round either, as it comes with 5 special symbols to spice things up. We have no complaints about the 12,500x potential either, and fans of the Greek mythology genre have a lot to look forward to in Champions of Olympus.

Champions of Olympus Slot Features

You win by landing 3 to 5 matching symbols in vertical or horizontal clusters anywhere on the 5x5 grid, and you win between 1 and 5 x your stake from the premium symbols. Wild symbols pay 25x your stake for 5 in a cluster, and wilds also step in for pay symbols to help complete or improve cluster wins. Winning symbols are removed and replaced via the Rolling Reels mechanic, and this process repeats for as long as you keep winning.

Each Wild symbol in view takes you up the Multiplier Trail seen on the left for the next cascade, and everything resets between base game spins.

The added wilds can stack on top of each other, and this creates a multiplier wild. If this happens to Zeus Lightning Wilds they award multiplier wilds by default, and the Power of Zeus feature can trigger at random times to turn 3 to 6 low value symbols into wilds.

The Link&Win bonus triggers when you have collected 8 Zeus Lightning Wilds that have been included in a win, and the number of collected wilds is saved between bet levels. You get 3 random Link&Win symbols with a prize of 1x to 3x attached as the feature starts, and you also start out with 3 respins. All Link&Win symbols are sticky, and the respins counter resets for each new symbol you land.

The feature ends when you either run out of respins, or when you fill the grid with sticky Link&Win symbols. You can unlock different special symbols as you reach certain numbers of Link&Win symbols in view, and these are as follows:

• Cyclops (13 collected Link&Win symbols) - lands with a value of x1 to x4, and it then adds 2x the value of a random Link&Win symbol onto itself.

  

  Finally, it adds its own total value to a random Link&Win symbol.
• Lion (16 collected Link&Win symbols) - comes with a value of 2x to 4x, and adds this to 2 to 4 random Link&Win symbols.
• Bull (19 collected Link&Win symbols) - comes with a value of 2x to 4x, and absorbs the value of 2 to 4 random Link&Win symbols.
• Medusa (22 collected Link&Win symbols) - comes with a value of 2x to 4x, and adds its own value to adjacent Link&Win symbols.
• The Zeus symbol can land at any time as well, and it pays 5x your stake. It also adds 5x to 2 to 5 random Link&Win symbols.

You need to trigger the Link&Win Bonus Round organically first, before the Bonus Buy feature becomes available. This is true in some jurisdictions at least, and it’s never available in the UK for sure. If eligible, you can purchase the feature for 70x your stake.

Review Summary

It’s clear from the get-go that Gold Coin Studios has poured some extra effort into this release, and it comes with Greek mythology visuals that are above average. The pace of the game flows smoothly as well, and the wild multiplier trail system is enough to keep the base game interesting. In addition, you get the Zeus Lightning Wilds, which can really spice things up, and this makes Champions of Olympus a well-balanced installment in the genre.

You can land solid payments in all stages of the game in other words, and the Link&Win feature is well above average as well. It’s always more exciting when special modifier symbols are included, and you get plenty of that in Champions of Olympus. The 12,500x potential tops this off as a pretty solid game overall, and you can expect to win every other spin on average.
