Helios’ Fury slot by Relax Gaming

Helios’ Fury slot summary

Helios' Fury slot by Relax Gaming is a simple game with some potential as we'll see. Dramatic sounds and classical music form the soundtrack here with Helios the Sun God standing to the right over a backdrop of an ancient Greek mountain village. I've lost count of games using the Greek Gods theme such as Age of The Gods by Playtech to the more modern Rise of Olympus by Play'n Go and we can go back over a decade for Cryptologic's old Battle for Olympus slot. So can our bankroll escape Helios' hot fury here or will it be consumed by the Sun?

On the reels...
You have 5 reels of 3 rows each and no lines but it's not a multiway, but has 99 connected ways, i.e. symbols must be adjacent from left-to-right to count as a win on Helios' Fury slot. The 5-of-a-kind pays are 20x bet for both the Ship Wild and Helmet, 8x Horn, 6x Sword, 5x Shield and five Shape symbols as the lower pays all at 1x. There are migrating Wilds here - if any Wild(s) appear and counts in a win it migrates one reel rightwards and awards a re-spin and so-on. You trigger the bonus if one reaches the rightmost reel and counts in a win.

Fury Free Games
You get 6 when triggered as described above and the reels increase to 5-rows high and now you have 259 connected ways. A Wild is added to the centre of reel 1 to start you off. Any Wild landing in the feature adds +1 spin and if in a win moves one reel to the right. Once a Wild reaches the Hot Spot otherwise known as reel 5, +1 spin is added and it remains in place with the Hot Spot reel then moving leftwards to reel 4. Now a Wild reaching reel 4 adds +1 spin and stays in place and the Hot Reel moves left again and so-on. Remember all Wilds remain on the screen so if you collect enough of them which means plenty of spin, the top prize of 50,000x could be achievable.

Our View...
Helios' Fury slot has a RTP of 96.27% or 97.00% if you buy it for 90x bet if allowed in your location. The subtle pastel colours are easy on the viewer even if the animations and graphics are distinctly average. You get the odd good win in the base game with the Walking Wilds in play and you must hope these result in a trigger as that's when any medium to huge wins will occur. The feature is volatile and most returns will be around 20-60x so you could wait for the 100x plus totals and only Helios knows how long for the multi-thousand times ones! This God could well add some sunshine to your day if you risk his fury...
