Dawn of Olympus slot review
At a feast on Olympus, the gods take their seats one by one, and with every new guest the celebration gets louder. In GameArt's Dawn of Olympus, a slot with Zeus, Athena, Gaia and Chronos, free spins work the same way: every retrigger adds a new expanding symbol to the round, up to eight in total. The big idea: a "Book"-style setup with a wild-scatter, where the number of expanding symbols can grow during free spins, plus a separate jackpot bonus game.
Council of Olympus: a 5x3 grid, 10 paylines, RTP 96.13%, very high volatility. The Earth is wild and scatter: 3 or more award 8 free spins and up to 8 expanding symbols, while the shield bonus game offers Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpots.
Who's gathered on Olympus?
The reels feature Zeus, Athena, Gaia and Chronos. The Earth symbol is wild and scatter: it substitutes for all symbols except the Sword & Shield Bonus symbol.
How does the pantheon grow?
There are two bonuses, and both can be bought.
🏛️ Free Spins
- 3 or more Earth symbols award 8 free spins.
- A special expanding symbol is chosen at random before the round.
- A retrigger needs 2 symbols if the expanding symbol is high-paying, and 3 if it's low-paying.
- Each retrigger adds a new expanding symbol, up to 8 in total.
🛡️ Bonus Game
- 3 Sword & Shield symbols trigger the bonus game.
- Shields reveal jackpot symbols or cash amounts.
- Matching three jackpot symbols wins the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand.
- The Buy Bonus lets you choose free spins or the bonus game.
How generous are the gods at 96.13% RTP?
96.13% RTP and very high volatility. Mechanically, the main payoff comes in free spins: the more retriggers, the more different symbols expand over whole reels at once.
⚠️ The gods aren't always kind
Free spins start with just one expanding symbol, and new ones only come with retriggers. With very high volatility, a round can end before it gathers any strength.
Gods' favour
- Up to 8 expanding symbols in free spins.
- A bonus game with four jackpots.
- Free spins or the bonus game can be bought.
Chronos's wrath
- Volatility is very high.
- Free spins start with only 8 spins and one expanding symbol.
- The wild can't replace the Sword & Shield symbol.
Who should climb the sacred mountain?
| Player profile | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fans of several expanding symbols in free spins | 🟢 Yes | Each retrigger adds a new one, up to 8. |
| Fans of a shield bonus with jackpots | 🟢 Likely yes | Three matching symbols unlock the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand. |

| Players counting on all 8 symbols | 🟡 Caution | That takes seven retriggers in one round. |
⚡ Should you play Dawn of Olympus?
Bear in mind first: volatility is very high, and free spins only gain strength through retriggers. If that doesn't stop you, Dawn of Olympus offers a wild-scatter, free spins with a growing number of expanding symbols, a bonus game with four jackpots and a buy for either bonus. The feast on Olympus starts with one god, but it can gather the whole pantheon.
