Features
Special Symbols - The Book of Helios is both scatter and wild in this game. It only lands on the middle three reels, but can both replace other symbols to help create wins and trigger the free spins feature.
RTP - Book of Helios has an RTP of 95.58%. This is fairly low for a non-progressive slot machine.
Volatility - This is a high volatility video slot. Expect some losing streaks followed by explosive high-value wins.
Free Spins - This feature is simple enough. Three scatters gets you 10 free spins. It can also be retriggered from within the feature.
Expanding Symbol - During the free spins, a random symbol will be chosen to act as an expanding symbol. It will expand to cover entire reels when it lands. Also look out for the Book of Helios as it awards multipliers of up to 5x.
Verdict
This is a simple video slot with one feature. It’s probably not for players who love all kinds of features, but will appeal to those of you who enjoy simple games focused on free spins and trying to win payouts.
The 5x multipliers in the bonus round are a nice touch, but we didn’t manage to get one. Of the two times we triggered it, we got a 1x multiplier and a 4x.
Compared to other Ancient Greek slots like Divine Fortune, this one is decent, but not the best of the bunch. It undoubtedly has top-notch graphics and the theme is awesome, but it’s fairly basic overall.
