Theseus Rises Slot

This is the story of Theseus, and his quest to defeat the legendary Minotaur, A slot machine that explores the legends of Ancient Greece and is much the same as so many others out there. It is however fun to play.

The slot features 5x4 reels, on which it has a total of 1024 ways to win. It has a good RTP of 96%, and above-average payouts as well, as it pays up to 7,500x the stake in a single spin. Some decent features manage to keep things interesting, such as the wild, free spins with multipliers, a bonus called The Labyrinth Chase, and a few others.

The theme is done in a cartoon-like style, with a look that fits with the story and the Ancient Greek heroes. Theseus, Minotaur, King Minos, the King’s daughters, along with trireme ships, shields, swords, or low-value Royals, will be the main symbols encountered along the way.

The Labyrinth Chase Bonus feature is worth a mention and it is triggered by landing the bonus symbol on reels 2, 3, and 4 on the same spin. This will result in Theseus and the Minotaur doing battle, and our hero and the beast will take it in turns to roll a die and work their way around the board. If Theseus lands on a square, he will win the prize attached to that square, and the square also levels up. All squares start at the lowest blue level but can be upgraded to green or red with prizes rising accordingly.

Multipliers also come into play here. The round ends once the Minotaur catches Theseus or vice versa. If the latter happens, a bonus jackpot of 5x your stake is awarded. When multipliers are active when Theseus catch the Minotaur, the jackpot total winnings also gets the multiplier. There is also the classic Free Spins feature. Which is activated in the standard way by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols on the same spin. You will get 10, 15, or 20 free spins. Lastly, you can buy the features if you don’t want to wait for a natural trigger to occur. This will set you back 50x your total stake for the Labyrinth Chase Bonus feature, and the Free Spins have been slightly more expensive at 80x stake.

This highly volatile offering is a nice relaxing slot. Even though the feature takes ages to trigger, the base game keeps a steady balance. I mostly just buy the bonus feature for this slot.
