Rival Gaming recently launched another new slot for fans of the historical and mythical themed slot genre. Known as Coins of Olympus, this 5 reel, 25 payline video slot, is all about Zeus, Hercules and other ancient Greek Gods, and their adventures. The slot is of pretty standard design, containing typical cartoonish graphics and icons, with a very stereotypical ancient Greek font displayed across the stone, and the surrounding imagery etched in stone. The main difference between this brand new slot and others in the genre is its brightness and tendency not to be taken too seriously, as is often the case in historicals. Special features included are expanding wilds, free spins with a 3x multiplier attributed to them, bonus features and a jackpot worth no less than 4,000 coins. Wagering in the new Rival Gaming title is between £0.01 and £0.25 per coin, which means players have a capped total of £62.50 per spin, if they wish to play this new game at its most expensive. The Zeus symbol is the best paying in the slot, whilst the Grim Reaper and Persephone are also worth a pretty penny. The use of expanding wilds is a particularly nice touch, and there is a bonus round too, which is trigger by three Poseidon icons located anywhere on the reels. The bonus game actually involves work on the players behalf too, requiring them to move their mouse along whilst Pegasus moves ever forward in a kind of Pac Man style bonus round that is worth big wins. The development of a “play” bonus round is surely going to frustrate some players, yet to others it is exactly what the slot world needs, as it puts everything in control of the player. There can be no fixing of bonus wins in this case then. So, Rival Gaming’s latest slot is cheap, offers a fair jackpot and offers a heavy duty bonus round! The slot was released recently and can be found in most top online casinos offering Rival Gaming software.
