Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades Slot Review

Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades Slot Information

Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades drops me straight into a dark gorge lit by lava cracks and flying sparks, a proper underworld setting for Hades himself. The slot keeps the familiar layout from the Zeus instalment with 5 reels, 4 rows and 1,024 ways to win, so line wins start from the leftmost reel and run on adjacent reels. It feels built for mobile as well as desktop, with everything laid out cleanly.

Betting starts at 0.20 and tops out at 50 per spin, which suits me for casual sessions and more serious shots at the bonus. The RTP sits at 96.05% with very high volatility and a hit frequency of 25.33 percent, so roughly every fourth spin pays something, yet the swings are harsh. Max win is 5,000 times the bet, which feels modest for the variance but still worth chasing with the right setup.

Scatter Symbols in Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades

Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades runs with three Scatter symbols that carry a lot of the game’s weight. Red Scatters pay anywhere and their wins multiply the total bet, so landing several together gives a handy payout on top of regular ways wins. In the base game the red icons can land on all reels, while during free spins they drop only on reels one and five, which changes how often I see those scattered wins.

Blue Scatters only appear on reels one and five in the base game and do not pay, yet they still matter because they upgrade the X UP trail multiplier permanently. The Diamond Scatter behaves in a similar way but goes a step further. In free spins, landing two diamonds awards the top trail multiplier and two extra spins, while three, four or five red Scatters at any time grant 8 free spins and 2x, 20x or 100x the bet.

Wild Symbol in Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades

On the paytable for Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades the low symbols are 10 through A, paying up to 2.4 times the bet for five of a kind, while five character symbols from Greek myth reach up to 8 times. The W Wild symbol tops the lot, paying 10 times the bet for five and substituting for everything except Scatters, often with a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier attached when it helps form wins.

X UP Feature in Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades

The X UP feature in Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades runs on a nine step trail beside the reels, and I find myself glancing at it on every spin. Collecting X UP tokens moves the marker along the trail and locks in higher win multipliers for the next free spins round. Those multipliers apply to all wins during the bonus, so building the trail before free spins start is where much of the long term potential sits.

Blue Scatters help here by giving a permanent bump to the trail multiplier, which stays active once reached. Diamond Scatters are even stronger since they can jump the trail straight to the top level while also triggering free spins. Any tokens collected and any active multiplier carry into the bonus, then the token counter resets once free spins finish. Tokens do not drop while level nine is active and red Scatters never award tokens at all.

Before free spins begin, Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades lets me use the Upsizer option when the X UP level sits between one and eight. I can pay extra to start the bonus at a higher multiplier, though the feature can be restricted on very high stakes or in some markets. From a player’s point of view it is a pure risk versus reward choice, since paying too much when variance bites will drain a balance quickly.

Free Spins in Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades

In Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades the main bonus revolves around free spins, always starting with 8 spins no matter how you trigger them. Hitting three, four or five red Scatters anywhere brings those spins along with an instant payout of 2x, 20x or 100x the bet. Two Diamond Scatters on reels one and five in the base game also open free spins and activate the highest X UP multiplier you have reached on the trail.

During the bonus round, red and Diamond Scatters can still appear, sending extra spins and more X UP tokens into the mix which can push the active multiplier even higher within that feature. You cannot retrigger a fresh free spins round though, so once the last spin plays the feature ends. For impatient players there is a Feature Buy that costs 200 times the bet and gives 8 free spins with a hefty 25x multiplier from the off.

Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades Slot Verdict

Chronicles of Olympus II – Hades feels like a natural step on from the Zeus chapter, keeping the same 1,024 ways framework while leaning harder on the X UP idea and the new Diamond Scatter. From my sessions the slot plays as a proper high variance grind with long quiet spells and sudden spikes when the multiplier lines up. The 5,000x cap is on the low side for this volatility yet the feature set still keeps me interested.
