The Legend of Hercules Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

You can find all the drama of Ancient Greek mythology on these three rows of five reels and their 30 paylines. Five card symbols carved like historic stone relics are accompanied by four higher-paying themed symbols as well as a Wild and Scatter that also fit the theme. The highest-paying symbols even pay from two matches. This Stakelogic slot has lots of winning potential, especially with the vast range of possible bonus features.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Hercules (his Roman name) or Heracles (his Greek name) is one of the most famous figures in Greek mythology. The son of Zeus, King of the Gods, his mother was a mortal woman named Alcmene. Zeus’ wife, Hera, as so angry about her husband’s infidelity that she took her rage out on Hercules. Luckily, Hercules was the strongest man in the world. He went on to complete 12 impossible labours and become one of the greatest heroes of his age.

Appropriately, considering Zeus was also God of Thunder, this slot takes places under stormy skies. Tree branches wave and the fires in the braziers flicker around the stone ruins of the temple and the equally stone card symbols. Then there are vivid pictures of figures from the stories of Hercules, from him and his wife to the Nemean Lion and Cretan Bull. A tonally appropriate soundtrack helps complete the theme.

The Legend of Hercules RTP & Volatility

Over a long session of The Legend of Hercules, your returns should average out at around 95.05%. That’s a little lower than most modern slots, but not by much. The volatility is low to medium, which means wins should be fairly frequent but still higher than an outright low-variance offering.

How to Play The Legend of Hercules

1. When you load the game, you’ll see a guide to the bonus features and will be given an option to activate the Super Stake feature. If you want to switch Super Stake off again once the reels have appeared, the button is on the right near the bottom of the reels.

The Legend of Hercules Bonus Features & Free Spins

Super Stake

When you activate Super Stake, it will double your bet but will also offer you the chance to trigger other extra features. You could upgrade your symbols (for example, the 10 turning into the J), which also comes with a multiplier feature. This means a total win up to 10,000x your bet.

Gamble

After every winning spin, you’ll be given the opportunity to gamble. You can either guess whether a card will be red or black for x2 your winnings or guess the suit for a x4 prize. Guess wrong, and you’ll lose it all.

Stacked Wilds

These can appear on any reel and fill said reel from top to bottom, where they substitute for every other symbol except the Scatter as well as paying in their own right.

Stacked Scatters

Seven Scatter symbols stacked on the reels will trigger eight free spins plus an extra prize. Eight Scatter symbols also means a prize, but this time it brings 15 free spins. For the maximum nine Scatters, your prize will be accompanied by an impressive 30 free spins.

Our Verdict

It looks dramatic, and the bonuses are dramatic. The Legend of Hercules slot is worthy of its epic origins in Greek mythology. This slot is packed with thrilling features, and even the base game is laden with excitement thanks to the setting, graphics and theme. Fans of the Hercules and Pegasus slot from Pragmatic Play should certainly give it a try.
