King of Olympus: Climb Mount Olympus, Trigger Zeus Multipliers, and Chase 5,000x Wins

Playtech puts its grip on the Greek mythology race with King of Olympus, bringing Zeus and Mount Olympus back into gameplay. With multipliers climbing up to 500x and a max win of 5,000x on the table, I had to give this new release a proper run to see how it stacks up against the usual Olympus games in the market.

This is a five-reel, five-row slot to start with, built around a cascading mechanic. You need 8 or more matching symbols on the grid to trigger the avalanche feature. Instead of paylines, the game uses a scatter payout system. The RTP sits at 95.47%, slightly below average, and while volatility is not officially disclosed, my session clearly pointed toward the higher side.

During my playthrough, wins were landing every five to six spins with an average return between 1x and 2x my bet. But that is only part of the story. The real driver here is the increasing multiplier feature. Every winning cascade adds +1 to the multiplier bar, and it resets only after the full sequence ends. With the cascades and multiplier working together, hits around 6x and 7x my bet were not rare.

My best base-game win reached 31.50x my bet, helped by a 15x multiplier. For the bonus round, you need four or more scatters to unlock up to 14 free spins. I triggered my first bonus after about 24 spins and received 10 free spins, which paid 98x my bet. The second bonus performed better, returning 145x my bet.

The standout part of the Free Spins is that the multiplier does not reset after each win. It locks and keeps building, which allows the payouts to grow. There is also a bonus buy priced at 75x your bet. 

I tested it twice. The first buy returned 53x win, while the second paid a much stronger 349x my bet. Random multipliers can also drop onto the grid and feed into the multiplier bar when a win lands. 

To sum it up, King of Olympus may sit slightly behind some competitors like Pragmatic Play in raw symbol payouts, but the multiplier system balances things well. If you plan to try it, be ready for some bankroll pressure.
