Rise of Olympus Guide: Rules, Hand of God, Wrath of Olympus and Free Spins

By the CasinoDemo editorial team · Updated 2026-11-09 · How we review

Rise of Olympus is a Play'n GO cascade game on a 5x5 grid with no paylines. You match three or more symbols in a straight row or column, the winners vanish, new symbols drop in and a win multiplier climbs with every drop. Hades, Poseidon and Zeus each bring their own power to shake up the grid.

We played the free demo at the default 1.00 bet, read every paytable page and the full help file, and caught the gods in action. There is no bonus buy, and our 25 spins did not clear the grid, so the free spins section below is based on the rules screens only.

How Rise of Olympus works

The help file describes it as a cascading game on a 5x5 grid. A win needs 3 or more matching symbols in a row, horizontally or vertically. All rows and columns are active, symbols can be part of several wins at once, and combinations must be connected without gaps. They can start anywhere on the grid.

Winning symbols are removed, the rest drop down and the game keeps cascading until no new wins form. Each new drop raises the win multiplier shown at the top left. In one of our spins the side panel showed later drops paying at x3 and x4: a 0.15 win became 0.60 and a 0.30 win became 0.90. That round paid 2.95 in total, about 3x our 1.00 bet.

There is a neat touch with the wild. When a three-symbol win is removed, a Wild Coin appears in the middle position. Wilds substitute for any symbol, and if wilds are the only symbols left on the grid they are removed too, which helps you clear the board.

Bets are picked from preset buttons under the grid. In this demo they ran from 0.20 to 40.00.

Symbols and paytable

The demo shows pays in money at the selected bet, so at 1.00 they read as multiples of the bet. The Wild Coin pays 1.00, 3.00 and 50.00 for three, four and five. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades each pay 0.30, 1.00 and 10.00. There is also an "Any" god combination, mixing the three faces, worth 0.20, 0.50 and 5.00.

The four feature symbols are smaller. The lyre and helmet pay 0.15, 0.30 and 3.00. The trident and lightning bolt pay 0.10, 0.20 and 2.00. Those base numbers look modest, which is why the drop multiplier and the grid clear bonus matter so much.

Hand of God

Hand of God has a chance to trigger on non-winning spins. Whichever god stands on the right of the screen performs his ability, and the active god changes after each trigger:

Hades: one set of symbols is chosen and transformed into another symbol.

Poseidon: one or two wild symbols are added to the grid.

Zeus: two sets of symbols are destroyed and removed from the grid.

We saw Zeus fire on our sixth spin. Two whole symbol types were blasted off the board, the rest dropped, and the active god then switched to Hades and later to Poseidon over the next spins, just as the rules describe.

Wrath of Olympus

The round meter under the multiplier has three sections and only fills from wins with the god symbols (wilds can help form those wins). A five-of-a-kind god win fills 3 sections, four of a kind fills 2 and three of a kind fills 1.

When the meter is full and there are no further wins, you get one free round called Wrath of Olympus. The drop multiplier resets, and then the gods take turns: each performs his Hand of God ability, the grid cascades until it stops, and the next god goes. The order is the same every time and repeats until the round ends. The feature cannot be retriggered, and afterwards the active god returns to whoever was on screen before.

Free Spins: Hades, Poseidon or Zeus

Clearing the whole grid of symbols triggers free spins, and you pick one of three gods:

Hades: 4 free spins, recharge the meter for 4 more.

Poseidon: 5 free spins, recharge for 3 more.

Zeus: 8 free spins, recharge for 2 more.

The game itself says fewer spins means higher risk but higher winning potential. Your chosen god's Hand of God is active for the whole feature and triggers on every non-winning free spin. The drop multiplier does not reset between free spins and can grow to a maximum of x20.

Fully charging the meter during free spins adds spins, up to a maximum of 20 in total. Wrath of Olympus is not active in the feature. If you clear the grid during a free spin you win an instant 100x your total bet.

RTP, max win and volatility

The paytable states you can win up to 5,000x your bet. Our demo did not show an RTP figure anywhere in the help file, so we are not quoting one. Play'n GO offers this game at several RTP settings, so check the help screen at your casino.

No volatility rating is listed either. The pay structure tells its own story, though: small base pays, a multiplier that builds within a cascade, and the real upside packed into grid clears and free spins with a multiplier that carries over.

Our verdict

Rise of Olympus has more going on than its tidy 5x5 grid suggests. Hand of God turns plenty of dead spins into second chances, the Wrath meter gives god wins a purpose, and the free spins choice is a real decision rather than decoration. We only saw the base game features in our session, since there is no bonus buy and we never cleared the grid. If you enjoy cascades with a bit of strategy, it is worth some time in the free demo.
