Hercules High and Mighty Slot Overview

Barcrest slots have travelled to every corner of the world and era of history, and here they take you to Ancient Greece.

Hercules High and Mighty is equipped with mighty reels, expanding the 5x5 layout so the 50 paylines can become 100 (in order get up to 100 you must bet 50p or more per spin and be in Mighty Reels mode), along with a free spins bonus that offers solid winning potential.

Graphics and Theme

Ancient Greece had lots of heroes, including Jason, Perseus and Theseus, but Hercules may be the most famous.

He has appeared in books, in film, and in more than one video slot. You probably know at least parts of the myth: how he was the son of Zeus, King of the Gods, and a mortal woman; how his stepmother, Hera, tried to punish him for Zeus’ infidelity; how he became the world’s strongest man and completed 12 labours; and how he destroyed his own family. It was an epic but not a happy life.

Hercules may have been a high and mighty hero, but here the high and mighty also refers to the reels and their ability to grow and increase your chances of finding winning symbols.

They do this while also depicting characters and monsters from Hercules’ legends, including the Hydra, Cerberus and the Nemean Lion, and Hercules himself. The reels hang from chains, and behind them are the columns characteristic of slots inspired by Greek mythology.

How to Play 

An overview of how to play this game:

  1. Do you know your budget? Do you have loss, single win and session length limits? Don’t think of playing any online slots, including this one, until you have all those things in place.
  2. Most slots have fairly easy-to-understand gameplay, but it’s still best to read through the clearly labelled info page before you start. Make sure you know what you’re doing.
  3. There are a few settings, like sound, that are adjustable, but the most important one is your bet. Wagering starts at 10p and can be modified with the plus and minus symbols to the side of the reels.
  4. Ensure everything is how you like it before you hit spin because you can’t do anything else until the reels stop. The results will be random.
  5. Review your settings, and decide if you need a timeout.
  6. Have fun, but play responsibly.

How to Win

Normally, this section of our Hercules High and Mighty slot review would be where we tell you about the number of reels and ways to win. For most slots, that’s pretty simple. It’s more difficult with Hercules High and Mighty because the base game and the bonus features have different layouts.

The initial 5x5 and 50 paylines won’t necessarily stay in place. Still, whatever the format, the aim is still to match identical symbols from left to right.

Top Wins

  • Four low-value card suits, four medium-value mythical creatures and two high-value goddesses make up the symbols in Hercules High and Mighty.
  • Your total win increases depending on whether you find 3, 4 or 5 matches.
  • Any of the card symbols, found in a matching sequence of 5, will have a x50 win multiplier.
  • The top win multiplier for bearded Zeus, King of the Gods, is x250.

Mighty Reels

Mighty reels are triggered by the Hercules wild, but how many of them you can unlock depends on your initial bet. A minimum bet can get you from 10 paylines to 20, but a higher wager of 0.50 will start you on 50 paylines and could increase them to 100. Basically, the lines double.

Another aspect of mighty reels that’s dependent on your bet level is whether you can remove low-value card suits from the reels. This means you’ll play with fewer symbols, increasing your chances of a line, and only high-value combinations are possible.

Free Spins

Free spins are triggered by the bonus scatter symbol, which looks like a gold coin.

  • 3 scatters = 8 free spins
  • 4 scatters = 12 free spins
  • 5 scatters = 20 free spins

During free spins, wilds gain the ability to expand, growing to fill an entire reel. Triggering free spins while mighty reels are active returns you to normal reels, but you can activate more mighty reels while the feature is underway.

Hercules High and Mighty Slot Summary

It may be inspired by Ancient Greece, but the Hercules High and Mighty slot isn’t full of shiny white marble.

It’s darker and grittier, depicting a rugged hero and the creatures he had to fight. What sets the game apart is its mighty reels and the way they expand your playing field when trying to find winning symbols, but most people are also going to appreciate a chance at free spins.

Hercules High and Mighty FAQs

Does the Hercules High and Mighty slot have any special symbols?

There are two special symbols in the Hercules High and Mighty slot that don’t just sit around hoping to form a payline. The wild and the bonus scatter symbol don’t have their own values, but they can still impact your payout potential - the wild by filling the space in an incomplete line, and the scatter by unlocking free spins.

How do free spins work in the Hercules High and Mighty slot?

Once you find the bonus scatter symbol 3 or more times in the base game, you can enter the free spins round. Whether you play with 8, 12 or 20 spins depends on the number of triggering scatters. Any wild symbol that appears, even in partial view, will expand, and you still have the chance to activate mighty reels.

What are mighty reels in the Hercules High and Mighty slot?

These are what allow you to expand the starting 50 paylines to 100, when the chains lift and the reels are raised above the initial 5x5 layout. They start when the Hercules wild lands, even in partial view. Depending on your bet, you could also remove the low-value card suits from the reels so only high-value symbols are left.
