Olympus Hades Megaways Slot Review

Olympus Hades Megaways Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Olympus Hades Megaways slot is played on 6 reels with 2-7 rows and 117,649 ways to win. Wins are awarded when symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right, regardless of size beginning from reel 1. Each reel can have up to 7 symbols (including the tracker for reels 2, 3, 4 and 5).

Stakes range from just 20p up to £20 per spin. Simply hit the poker chip icon below the spin button and then use the + and – buttons to change your total bet. Up to 1,000 autospins are also an option for non-UK players.

The Olympus Hades Megaways RTP is 95.95%, which is around the industry average for an online slot. There could well be other RTP versions around but we’re not sure at the time of writing this review. So just check the RTP rate when you play this game at your chosen online casino in the UK.

The Olympus Hades Megaways maximum win is 50,000 x your total stake, which is very generous. The key to landing bigger wins will come in the Free Spins feature due to the unlimited free spins and unlimited multipliers on offer. We explain how the Free Spins feature works further down in the review.

Theme – join the king of the underworld

The theme in the Olympus Hades Megaways slot game is all about Greek Mythology with a focus on Greek God Hades, the god of the dead and king of the underworld. You’ll see him floating to the left of the reels as you spin away. The reels are set in the underworld in front of a temple, with the heat from the burning flames below the reels very apparent.

The visuals are great and the soundtrack is arguably even better with a very suspenseful sound that gives you the feeling you might be in a bad place. Land the Free Spins feature and the fire and redness intensifies along with the soundtrack to add to the overall suspense. Spins are a little quicker too, which adds to the excitement.

On the reels, the A-9 Royals make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by higher-paying ones that include a vase, Medusa, the monstrous watchdog of the underworld Cerberus, and Hades himself. The Hades symbol pays the most, awarding 2, 5, 10, 25 or 50 x your total stake for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

The game’s Wild will substitutes for any symbol except Scatters. The Scatters will trigger the Free Spins feature if 4 or more land in view on the reels. Here’s a list of all the symbols you will come across in the game:

Symbol	Payout/Info
9	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 or 0.8 x stake
10	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.15, 0.25, 0.5 or 0.9 x stake
J	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.15, 0.25, 0.5 or 1 x stake
Q	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.25, 0.6 or 1 x stake
K	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 or 1.75 x stake
A	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 or 1.75 x stake
Vase	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 or 2 x stake
Medusa	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.25, 1, 1.5 or 2 x stake
Cerberus	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 1, 2, 2.5 or 7.5 x stake
Hades	2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 2, 5, 10, 25 or 50 x stake
Wild	Substitutes for all except Hades Scatter
Hades Scatter	4+ in view triggers 12 free spins

Olympus Hades Megaways Mobile

Released in April 2023, the Olympus Hades Megaways mobile slot has been created with the latest HTML5 technology. This ensures it has been optimised for play on mobiles, tablets, laptops and PC devices. If you’re a smartphone user, it’s available to play on iOS and Android operating systems. However, I do prefer playing the best Megaways slots on a bigger screen due to the larger reel setup.

Olympus Hades Megaways Bonus Features

There are 5 bonus features to enjoy here. From Wilds that guarantee wins and Max Megaways to Free Spins with Walking Wilds, there’s a lot going on. Let’s run you through how everything works when it comes to the features, starting with cascades.

Cascading Wins

All winning symbols that are part of a winning combination are replaced by cascading symbols from above the reels. Winning symbols on the top row will be replaced by symbols shifting from right to left. This process continues until no new winners are formed. This is a very common feature that can be found in similar slots such as Tales of Silver Megaways, which has a very similar setup to this one.

Max Megaways feature

During any spin, you can trigger the Max Megaways feature randomly. You’ll notice a unique background animation, and every single reel will display the maximum number of symbols, which means that a spin will land with 117,649 ways to win. This can potentially lead to some huge wins.

Hades Wilds feature

On any spin, Hades can randomly add Wild symbols to the top-row tracker. It also means that a win will be guaranteed when this happens.

Free Spins feature

Landing 4 or more Hades Scatters in the base game will trigger this bonus feature. Here’s how many free spins you can get initially depending on how many Hades Scatters lands:

An unlimited win multiplier is active during the bonus round and it begins at 1x. It will increase by 1 each time there is a cascading win. It’s important to note that it won’t reset between free spins, so it has the potential to go very high.

On any spin, Hades can add a walking wild to the rightmost position on the top row tracker. It will move 1 space to the left on the next spin and will keep moving left until it reaches the leftmost position and then disappears. Hades has the ability to add multiple walking wilds to the reels. A maximum of 4 wilds can appear on the top row tracker.

Non-UK players will also have the option to buy the Free Spins feature for 75 x the total bet.

Olympus Hades Megaways Review Summary – Great win potential and a superb theme

The visuals and the soundtrack in the Olympus Hades Megaways slot are fantastic. It really captures what the game is all about and offers a really immersive experience, which will appeal to a lot of players. As far as Greek Mythology themed slots go, this one is better than a lot of others on the market.

The only thing that really lets the game down a little is the RTP rate, which is 95.95%. It’s slightly under the 96% average for an online slot, but if you take some of the top Megaways titles like Blood Suckers Megaways for example, it falls well short as that one has an RTP rate of 97.66%.

This title is very similar to another Greek Mythology slot from iSoftBet – Olympus: Zeus Megaways. I guess the only may difference is that this game is all about Hades and the other is all about Zeus, so it will come down to which Greek God you prefer. And probably if you prefer blue or red.

iSoftBet has also released a third slot, Olympus: Raging Megaways, where Zeus and Hades battle for supremacy. Played using a Dual Reels mechanic and played on 2 reel sets, it combines elements from both games.

Overall, the Olympus Hades Megaways slot is an impressive release from one of the best slot providers around. Ok, so it might have any bonus features that we’ve not seen before, but the overall package is appealing and the max win potential of 50,000 x your stake is obviously an attractive element to this game.
