“Hercules the Invincible” is a video slot with a very attractive theme if you like epic stories and also mythology of ancient warrior civilizations.
In this case, “World Match” has created a slot with a structure of 5 x 3 reels provided with 20 pay lines, which you could easily catalog as a medium-high variance slot since prices of 7 of the 9 regular symbols are a little modest, and the two best symbols, represented with the face of Hercules and one of the goddesses, appear at a very low rate, so much so that throughout my session, I only remember having formed one line of 3 of a kind with the Hercules symbol, and perhaps three or four short lines with the green symbol of the goddess.
Notwithstanding the above, this slot is equipped with a round of free spins, but above all, with a bonus round quite attractive and even exciting since it is a kind of wheel of fortune made of stone and moved by Hercules.
This wheel contains some rather modest prizes of x2, x3 and x5 your total bet, but also there are fairly robust prizes like x100 and x200 your total bet; in my session, I managed to unleash this feature twice, the first time I won a x10 prize, but the second time was much more exciting as I won the prize of x100 my total bet, and additionally I had already increased my bet in 3 levels, so that I could not only manage to recover my losses, but I also got some profits because of that.
At times, the wild symbol seems to become more active, which is an advantage since this symbol usually appears stacked, however, it could be said that the routine during the base game, is characterized especially by the long losing streaks interrupted at times by the formation of generally short lines, or in any case, of modest size payouts most of the time, although from time to time, you also get some hits that generate payouts between 20x and 30x your total bet during the base game.
As for the free spin round, I think it's a hard to access feature, and honestly, the only round I could enjoy, it was a little fruitful as my total winnings were only about 25 times my total bet, even when during this round all your winnings are multiplied by x2; nothing brilliant here IMO.
Generally speaking, according to the behavior observed in this slot, I think that practically all of your hopes of getting a profit are concentrated on the winning potential of the bonus round, and frankly I'm a little worried about having to depend on one single feature, that anyway, it is not even easily accessible.
In conclusion, I believe that playing “Hercules the Invincible” slot, requires patience and knowledge of the game, and I think it is a slot particularly suitable for those players accustomed to dealing with high variance slots.
