Introduction

Any Leap Gaming free play slot is worth a look.

Demo slots have all the features of the real-money game, so they are a great way to get some practice in. Olympus and the Greek gods is a familiar theme in online slots, with competitors including Pragmatic Play’s Hercules Son of Zeus slot.

Hercules Do Or Die has a five-reel, three-row grid with 20 fixed paylines. The minimum bet value is 0.20 and the maximum is 200. There are nine regular symbols: four coins, each carrying a symbol - torch, flaming brazier, bow and arrow, and ball and chain - a lion, the medusa, an eagle, a wolf, and a snake. There are also free spins symbols and four wilds featuring three wolves, three snakes, an eagle, and Hercules. Finally, there is a gold symbol.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

This is a well-drawn and uncluttered game in natural tones that are very easy to look at. The illustrations are good and the animation imaginative. The collection of gold as it shimmers across the grid into the amphora is a nice touch and there are some pleasing fire effects. As is often the case, the music sounds a bit off the peg but is unobtrusive.

How to play Hercules Do Or Die

Hercules Do Or Die is a 20-payline slot.

1. Your current bet level is displayed to the left of the black bar at the bottom of the screen. You adjust it using the plus and minus buttons to either side of the ‘level’ and ‘coin value’ indicators. If you prefer, you can simply click ‘max bet’.
2. Clicking the three-line symbol to the right of the controls will bring up the menu that gives you access to the game settings, game information and game history.
3. In the settings menu, which is denoted by the cog icon, you can choose to set the spacebar to spin the reels and switch on turbo play. You can mute the sounds using the volume icon to the left of the control panel.
4. If you click the small spin button to the left of the main play button, you can access the automatic play settings. Choose a number of spins from 5 to 99. You can also set the autospin mode to stop when your cash balance increases or decreases by an amount you specify; what’s more, you can set a single win limit. Click the autoplay button again to exit the autospin mode.
5. Click the play button to set the reels spinning at the chosen bet level; alternatively, use the spacebar.
6. The wild substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and gold symbols. The wilds appear on all reels.
7. When a wild lands on the reels, it expands to fill the whole reel. All symbols on that reel will then count as wild.
8. If a wild covers a scatter or gold symbol, the scatter or gold will count as if they are on the reels even though the wild is covering them. Wins are calculated after any wilds have expanded.
9. Always remember to play gambling games responsibly. If you are gambling real money, you could lose as well as win. Do not bet more than you can afford. When any game stops being enjoyable, it is time to stop playing.

The bet size ranges from 0.20 to 200. The paytable values range are for three to five matching symbols, with the highest multipliers for five matching symbols as follows:

• Eagle = 80

Hercules Do Or Die bonus features

Free spins

Scatters appear on reels two, three and four. If three scatters land on all three reels, regardless of their position, you will win seven free spins. Free spins are played at the same bet level as the triggering round. At the end of the free round, the total winnings from the free spins are added to the wins of the triggering win. 

Collecting gold

Between one and three gold symbols can land on the right-hand reel in one spin. Gold is collected in the amphora on the left and displayed throughout the game. Coins are awarded once you collect 35 gold symbols and the amphora will reset. There are two award levels and the 35th symbol will define the level you win. After the 30th is collected, a second gold symbol is added to the reels. You collect both in the same way as previously. For more details, see the game information in the main menu.

Hercules Do Or Die review: our verdict

Straightforward and easy to play, Hercules Do Or Die is a good-looking slot. The bonus game is nothing special, although collecting the gold adds a bit of tension. The RTP could be higher; however, on the whole, this is a solid effort.
