Blueprint Gaming was the first to receive a Megaways licence and have since established themselves as a powerhouse for this game genre. While some releases do not scream creativity, they nevertheless seem to have endless ideas on how to make the best use of their licence, which at the end of the day benefits the players as we get to enjoy new pay mechanics, suspenseful bonus features and some spectacular visuals.

They went all out on Gods of Olympus Megaways, calling on the ancient gods – Athena the goddess of courage, strength, law and justice, Ares the god of war, Poseidon the god of the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses and the mighty thunder god Zeus the ruler of all gods and Mount Olympus – for an immensely intense gaming experience. The visuals and animations are simply stunning. From the Greek village and Parthenon in the background to the deafening lightning strikes, this slot is bound to excite players. A mythical soundtrack gives the game an out-worldly aura that is filled with suspense.

The pay symbols start at the low end with Greek-style card royals from 9 through to A, awarding 0.5x to 1x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are followed by four mentioned gods – Poseidon, Ares, Athena and Zeus at the high end. Hit six across the reels to win 2.5x to 25x your stake.

A Parthenon marked with the word itself is the wild symbol, appearing on reels two to five only and substituting for all regular symbols. Zeus’ mighty thunderbolt acts as the scatter, appearing with a blue background in the base game and red background in the free spins.

Final Verdict

Well, this was something. The game is simply stunning and spectacular in any way I looked at it and lets other awesome Blueprint Megaways games like Primal Megaways look rather bland. Prepare though for high volatility and pray to the gods for their wisdom and guidance as the gameplay can be pretty rough at times.
