Rise of Olympus Pokie – Full Review for Australian Players

Rise of Olympus is a 5x5 grid pokie from Play'n GO, a Swedish studio known for its polished releases. The theme is Greek mythology, with the three gods – Zeus, Poseidon and Hades – depicted on Mount Olympus. The game uses a cluster pays mechanic: you win when three or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically. This is a departure from the typical 5x3 payline structure, as there are no fixed paylines. Instead, winning clusters disappear and new symbols fall into place, creating cascades. The grid clearing is central to triggering the free spins feature. The game's high volatility means wins are less frequent but can be larger. The betting range is from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin, accommodating both cautious and high-stakes players.

To play Rise of Olympus, set your bet using the selector, which ranges from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game uses a 5x5 grid with cluster pays: wins occur when three or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically. There are no paylines, so wins are read by clusters. The paytable and info panel are accessible via the game's menu buttons, typically near the bet selector. Use the spin button to start a round. There is no ante bet or bonus buy in this game, so you cannot pay to trigger features directly.

The default RTP is 96.5%, which is the version most players will encounter. However, operators can select from a range: 96.50%, 94.51%, 91.49%, 87.50%, or 84.50%. The official game page does not list an RTP, so you must check the info panel in the game to see which version is active. The difference is significant: at 96.5%, a $100 wager returns $96.50 on average; at 84.5%, it returns $84.50 – a $12 difference per $100 wagered. The maximum win is 2,500x your stake. For example, a $1 bet could win $2,500, while a $5 bet could win $12,500. Always check the RTP version in the game's info panel before playing.

The key features are cascades with a win multiplier that grows with each consecutive drop, up to 20x during free spins. The Hand of God is a random trigger: Hades transforms symbols, Poseidon adds up to 2 wilds, and Zeus destroys symbol sets. If you land a 5-of-a-kind god win, the Wrath of Olympus activates all three powers at once. Free spins are triggered by clearing the grid. When that happens, you pick one god whose power fires on every non-winning spin. Clearing the grid during free spins awards 100x your bet. You can retrigger free spins, up to a total of 20 spins. For example, a cascade that clears the grid could award 100x, then the free spins begin with a multiplier that can climb to 20x.

Given the high volatility, you need to plan your bankroll. The bet range is 0.20 to 100 credits. For a $50 session, a sensible bet is around $0.50 to $1 per spin, giving you 50 to 100 spins. For a $200 session, you could bet $2 to $4 per spin, giving you 50 to 100 spins as well. The max win is 2,500x, so a $1 bet could yield $2,500, but high volatility means you might go many spins without a win. There is no bonus buy or ante bet in this game, so you cannot pay to trigger features. No betting system changes the RTP; it is fixed by the game's mathematics. One sentence: set a loss limit and stick to it.

The demo version uses play credits but runs the same maths and RTP version as the real-money build at the casino you open it in. Given the high volatility and features like cascades and the Hand of God, a demo session is useful for observing how often these trigger and how the win multiplier builds. You can also test how bet size feels across the range, from 0.20 to 100 credits. When playing with real AUD, bets are real and your bankroll limits matter more.

You can play Rise of Olympus at Jeetcity, Huff n More Puff, in Australian dollars. A demo mode is available so you can try the game for free before wagering real money. When you play for real, check the RTP version in the game's info panel to see which one is active. Remember to play responsibly. If gambling is a problem, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.
