Olympus Plinko Review

Mount Olympus is the mythical home of the gods, but it’s an actual, de facto mountain in Greece. The mountain is home to more than 1,700 plant 🌼 species, and that number will be significant in Olympus Plinko ⚡️ from Betsoft Gaming.

I like that the studio has done its research and woven these elements into the game; even though these things might be lost on most people. It shows a dedication to their craft, which I appreciate. 👏

Do you know what else I appreciate? Money! 💰😎🥂 And the win potential of this game is massive. Read on to find out more.

Gameplay

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Olympus Plinko is specifically designed for mobile phone players. The game is narrow and tall, and you’ll see (presumably) Zeus bouncing around to the right.

There’s also a Bonus Wheel beneath the grid, but I’ll get into that later. But yes, that means this is a plinko game with a feature – a rarity, to be sure!

As one might expect, there are no paylines. You can’t bet with the Japanese yen, but all other forms of currency are good to go. The volatility rate is variable, and the max multiplier is 4,593x per ball; a number that’s mirrored by the top prize of $4,593x per ball.

As for the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

, this can fluctuate between 80.21% and 98.32%
, depending on the strategy you use.

So, on that note, how do you play the game? You can buy 1 to 100 balls – at a price of $0.10 to $1 per ball – and drop them from the top of the pyramid.

The balls will bounce off the pins and land on a multiplier value at the bottom – these get higher the further away from the center you go.

You’ll see that there’s also a SPIN section among the multipliers. You’ll earn a shot at the Bonus Wheel if your ball lands there.

Beneath the Bonus Wheel is where you can select your bet, the number of balls you want to play with, and the volatility rate.

You’ll notice that there are these blue lines on the grid. You can drag these multiplier positions left or right, and if a ball lands on the orange section, that will enhance your winnings by 2x, 4x, or 6x (the latter happens if you pass through all three highlighted areas).

BONUS WHEEL:

Right, so you know now that you need to land a ball in the SPIN section to get a chance at the Wheel. What can you win? It could be multipliers, or the Lucky or Super Progressive JackpotsThese Jackpots will increase in value over time if they’re not won. They’re funded by a small percentage of the player’s bets.

The Jackpot could be linked to a single game on a single casino, or it could apply across a network of games for a specific casino or game studio, or across multiple casinos.

increase with each spin.

There’s not much fanfare; the Wheel spins when you land a ball in the SPIN section. It all happens on the same screen, so it doesn’t feel as special as most games’ features when they trigger. Oh, well.

There’s a counter on the top right, next to Zeus, and it keeps score of how many balls have been played. Once you reach the magical figure of 1,700, you’ll earn an extra spin of the Wheel where you can score cash prizes or free balls.

Just so you know; free balls don’t contribute to increasing the Progressive JackpotsThese Jackpots will increase in value over time if they’re not won. They’re funded by a small percentage of the player’s bets.

Performance

Olympus Plinko was problem-free throughout testing.

Maximum Win

You can bet $0.10 to $1 per ball, and the max multiplier (per ball) is 4,593x, while the top prize is $4,593 per ball.

Conclusion

So, what do I think of this new and exclusive game? I must be honest, I like the addition of a Bonus Wheel; that’s not something you find in plinko games and it helps build anticipation and offers additional rewards.

And I appreciate the little things, such as how the studio has displayed the cost per round next to your winnings, so you can keep track of where you’re at.

The winning potential of Olympus Plinko is pretty impressive: $4,593 per ball, which, if you multiply that by the max of 100 balls, equals $459,300. That’s nuts! Plinko from GameArt and Plinko Rush from Betsoft offer $150,060 and $88,800, respectively.
