Apollo: God of the Sun Slot Review

Greek mythology seems to be in at the moment. There are several top developers designing games with Greek mythology themes, and Leander Games have jumped on the bandwagon with their latest slot – Apollo: God of the Sun.

This video slot offers up your typical Greek mythology themed slot experience, with so-so graphics and an emphasis on the high and mighty powers of the sun god himself.

Leander Games have been careful not to stray too close to Playtech’s Age of Gods series with this slot, whilst at the same time making it appealing to fans of that franchise.

Developers

Leander Games new slot machine is very much in the same vein as their other slots. It contains a 5-reel, 20-line platform, and is mobile-friendly. The slot offers all your customary Leander Games feature, as well as a few one new ones.

One area where Leander have tried to branch out is in the RTP rate. This slot coughs up the goods 97.17% of the time, which is markedly more so than many of their other top online slot games.

How to play Apollo: God of the Sun slot machine

Players will find that the wagering menu is both thematic and quite decent looking. Leander Games have tried hard to ensure that there are no hiccups in terms of this slot’s design. You don’t get too much in the way of options, though.

Players can’t really adjust any of the slot’s 20 paylines, but they can alter their total bet. Total bets range from as little as $0.20 per spin on this game, up to a maximum stake of $200 a spin for those players who wish to push the boat out.

Features

Wild symbols: Players should keep an eye out for the sun. The physical emblem of the sun god himself acts as a wild symbol. This wild icon can replace all the others in the sun, except for the two bonus symbols in the game. Wilds are frequently occurring on the reels of this slot.

Random triggered feature: At any point in the game, a randomly triggered feature may occur. When it does, Apollo will shine down columns of wilds onto the reels. These stacked wilds can cover entire reels and boost your chances of landing wins. This certainly helps with the aforementioned decent RTP rate.

Muse bonus: Players who land 3 of the muse symbols on the second, third, and fourth reels of the slot will trigger an instant win bonus round.

In this bonus, players can expect to be able to choose from several objects until they have filled up a musical instrument. Every completed instrument offers you a cash prize.

Free spins bonus: Land 3 of the temple symbols on the first, third, and fifth reels of the slot, and you will be able to trigger a free spins feature.

Players receive a total of 7 free spins, and on each one, the randomly triggered feature we previously mentioned becomes a guaranteed feature, occurring on every single spin.

Maximum pay-outs

You may be surprised to learn that Apollo: God of the Sun is a progressive jackpot slot. It is triggered randomly on any spin, although players who wager more are naturally more likely to land the top prize.

This prize could be worth anything in theory, although in all likelihood (given the small stature of the game) it will seldom exceed tens of thousands of dollars.

Summary

Apollo: God of the Sun is a nifty little slot to play. It is obvious that Leander Games drew their inspiration from Playtech’s Age of Gods series, which also contain Greek mythology themes and progressive jackpots. There is even one which centres on the same deity – Apollo.

As we’ve said, Leander Games have tried to ensure that the similarities aren’t too apparent, though, so Apollo: God of the Sun does stand out as its own game, and it is well worth a look.
