Hercules Son of Zeus

During the generally and controversial, chronological position of Hesiod, regarding the Ancient Greek Theogony,in which he claims, that our Galaxy, was formed from the milk of deity Hera, that was thrown into the Sky when she breastfed Hercules, certainly not against her will. Even before the fruit of Zeus 'love for Alcmene was born, Zeus' wife expressed her anger - not of course towards her husband. And when the child was born, Hermes secretly put it in the breast of the sleeping Hera, to breastfeed, in order to acquire immortality. When Hera woke up, she pushed the child away, her milk shook high and made a trajectory in the sky...
Others tell the story a little differently; that Alcmene, fearing Hera, left the child exposed on the outskirts of Argos, in a place that was later called the Plain of Hercules. Athena and Hera passed through there at some point. The virgin goddess was impressed by the strength and beauty of the newborn and asked mother Hera to breastfeed the child. The goddess accepted but in his momentum the child bit the nanny of the goddess nanny and hurt her. Hera pulled, threw the baby down and her milk jumped into the skies forming the Galaxy -ἐκχυθέντος τοῦ περισσεύματος ἀποτελεσθῆναι τὸν Γαλαξίαν κύκλον (Ερατ., Κατ. 3.44).

Hercules Son of Zeus is a quite new game from Pragmatic Play software, which is also known as Topgame. I don't really enjoy Topgame slots, but when I have the chance, I gladly explore them. This time I was playing at a bingo site and had roughly 50$ balance and when I saw the name of this slot, it spoke to me. Hercules, who was the son of Zeus, who was a mythical Greek God, is oftenly used as inspiration source, when it comes to online games. I find this theme quite fascinating and since lately Topgame has been improving their game designs, I was interested to see what they've come up with.

As many of their games, this slot has 5 reels and 50 paylines, but unfortunately it makes this game quite expensive with the minimum bets of 0.50$ per spin. But as I had foreseen- the design looked rich- there were modern Hercules symbols that came up stacked along with letters and other Greek mithology symbols. Design wise I was more than pleased. But unfortunately that was it.

I think this game has really bad payouts from what I've seen. With 50$ and minimum bets only, I managed to play for about 10 minutes only and I only had 0 wins with few exceptions of wins up to 7x bet. There is only one bonus feature and it's a free spins bonus, but to get it you must get 3 scatters. Many times I had 2 scatter combinations but unfortunately you don't get paid for them, which this time was quite upsetting. I'd rather get small wins than absolutely empty spins. But even so, I think that the bonus feature isn't that great because instead of the regular 10 free spins you usually find in other games, this one only gives 6 free spins. It does compensate it with extra spins for scatters and extra wilds, but still, after what I've seen so far from this game, I don't have high hopes.

Overall this is a game I would call a money eater. It's been a while since I last played a game with minimum bets at such ratio and lost that fast. I think that design is really wonderful but aside from that, I wouldn't recommend this game, it seems impossible to get any decent base game win at all.
