Rise of Olympus

Rise of Olympus is a Greek mythology pokie from Play'n GO that has built a loyal following among Australian players who like grid slots with a sense of theatre. Rather than spinning reels, symbols tumble onto a 5x5 grid and three of the mightiest gods of Olympus take turns shaping the board. You can try it in demo mode below, or read up on the Rise of Olympus RTP and features before deciding where you might play it in AUD. The game arrived in 2018 and has aged well next to more recent titles, which explains why it remains a regular pick.

How Rise of Olympus plays

The game runs on a 5x5 grid instead of fixed paylines. You win by landing three or more matching symbols in a horizontal or vertical line, and after every win those symbols clear so new ones drop in for chain reactions. A wild appears in the centre of the grid with a multiplier that grows with each successive chain. The standout mechanic is the Hands of God feature: on many non-winning spins one of the three brothers intervenes. Zeus removes groups of symbols to open new cascades, Poseidon adds wilds, and Hades turns symbols into matching ones. Fill the god meter to launch Wrath of Olympus, a single spin that unleashes all three god powers in sequence. Clear the whole grid and you enter the free spins round, where the multiplier does not reset between spins.

Rise of Olympus RTP, volatility and max win

The advertised RTP is 96.5%, a little above the industry average, though it pays to know that Play'n GO also supplies lower RTP builds (down to around 84.50%) that some casinos use, so always check the paytable first. Volatility is high, scoring a full 10 out of 10 on Play'n GO's own scale, so wins tend to be uneven with longer quiet stretches between the bigger hits. The maximum win is 5,000x your stake, achieved when the multiplier stacks up during the free spins. That mix of a high RTP ceiling and steep volatility gives the pokie its high-risk, high-reward character.

Playing Rise of Olympus in Australia

You can load Rise of Olympus in Australian dollars through the online casinos listed on this page, all of which carry the title, and the demo above runs with no account and no deposit. It is important to be straight about the legal position: under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online pokies and casino games cannot be licensed for or advertised to Australians, so any real-money casino offering this game operates from offshore. We are showing you the game itself, not suggesting it is locally licensed or regulated. Treat the free demo as the safe way to see how it plays.

Is Rise of Olympus worth playing?

If you enjoy grid pokies with real feature depth, Rise of Olympus is worth a look. The three gods keep the base game active, the rising multiplier builds tension through every chain, and the 5,000x ceiling is a genuine target rather than a token number. The high volatility will not suit every player, and the lower RTP versions are worth watching for, but the demo lets you gauge the pace yourself before spending anything. Whatever you choose, set a limit and stay inside it. For support and tools, see our responsible gambling page.
