Forge of Olympus Review
Hephaestus is perhaps lesser known than the Roman mythology counterpart, Vulcan, but he was the Greek god of fire, metalworking, and craftsmanship. He certainly looks like someone you wouldn’t wanna mess with though, ripped with pulsating lava tattoos and molten steel glowing through his piercing eyes. Zeus from the original Gate of Olympus looks like a wimp in comparison, and the visual presentation is overall more impressive in this follow-up release.
Forge of Olympus is one of many spin-off releases from the original smash hit, and you get additive multiplier symbols that top out at x100 in this game. The bonus round comes with upgradeable multiplier symbol ranges, and multiplier symbols are collected to upgrade the multiplier range in 4 levels. The top level gives you nothing but x50 to x100 multiplier symbols, and the 5,000x potential is the same as in the original game.

Keeping the Ante Bet switched on will cost you 25 % extra per spin, and this doubles your bonus round chances. You win by landing 8-9 to 12-30 matching symbols anywhere in view, and the latter awards 2 to 50 x your stake. There are no Wild symbols in Forge of Olympus, but winning symbols are removed and replaced via the Tumble Wins feature.
This repeats indefinitely for as long as you keep the winning streak going.Similar Slots:
You can land Hammer Multiplier Symbols at random times in all stages of the game, but the symbols are duly announced by a godly voice saying “Olympus”, as Hephaestus takes his massive hammer to the molten metal on the anvil. Multiplier symbols come with values between x2 and x100, and they are all added together at the end of a tumble sequence to boost the win.
The Forge of Olympus Slot Bonus Round triggers from 4, 5, or 6 scatters in view, and this gives you 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. You also win 3x, 5x, or 100x your stake up front, respectively, and multiplier symbols are collected in a meter during the feature. This is how you can level up the multiplier range of the multiplier symbols that land, and it works as follows:
- Level 1 (default level) - comes with multiplier symbols between x2 and x100.
- Level 2 (6 collected multiplier symbols) - comes with multiplier symbols between x8 and x100.
- Level 3 (11 collected multiplier symbols) - comes with multiplier symbols between x15 and x100.
- Level 4 (15 collected multiplier symbols) - comes with multiplier symbols between x50 and x100.
You cannot level up more after reaching level 4, but landing 3+ scatters in view awards +5 extra spins.
The Buy Free Spins Feature is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. If eligible, you can choose between 4 different bonus buy options, and these are as follows:
- Pay 100x your stake to get Level 1 multiplier symbols.
- Pay 200x your stake to get Level 2 multiplier symbols.
- Pay 400x your stake to get Level 3 multiplier symbols.
- Pay 500x your stake to get Level 4 multiplier symbols.
You land a random amount of triggering scatters (between 4 and 6) no matter what option you go with, and the bonus round comes with an organic hit rate of 1 in 362 spins (or 1 in 181 spins if you play with the Ante Bet active).

Few developers know how to milk a success release like Pragmatic Play, and it is admittedly a “pragmatic” strategy. We don’t really mind as long as the follow-up releases are made of solid stuff, and that is definitely the case with Forge of Olympus. Hephaestus looks powerful doing his blacksmith thing there on the right-hand side, and whenever his hammer falls you know you’re in for some multiplier symbol goodies. It’s a bit frustrating when you don’t land a win to take advantage of it, however, and not least when larger multiplier symbols hit.
The base game is very similar to Gates of Olympus, but with a significantly lower multiplier symbol range. The bonus round is where Forge of Olympus shines the brightest, however, as it takes “only” 15 multiplier symbols collected to reach level 4. This means that all multipliers are between x50 and x100, but then again, you need to actually land them, and you need a win at the same time. The visuals are superb in this game, and the ash explosion bonus round intro/outro is a joy to behold. It will probably not dethrone the original, but Forge of Olympus is still well worth checking out in our view.
Pros
- 25 % Ante Bet 2x your FS chances
- Additive multiplier symbols up to x100
- FS w/ upgradable multiplier symbol tiers
- Win up to 5,000x (1 in 15,873,016 spins)
