Achilles Slot machine review

Achilles

Achilles is a 5 reel, 20 payline progressive Slot from Real Time Gaming. It includes scatters, wilds, Free Spins as well as a random progressive jackpot. If you love history, specially the ancient roman times, when the Romans rules the land then you will love this slot. There is the fortress that fills the top of the screen and the ocean shoreline it sits in front as well as clouds and greenery that make up the background images in Achilles.

As with any themed slot you will find many of the characters have been designed to reflect the period this slot has been designed around. This includes Helen, the battle horse, a shield, a battle flag and the usual letter symbols and number symbols. Achilles acts as the wild and the City of Troy is your scatter. Each symbol has design elements that are meant to take you back to a time when life and survival was brutal and the warriors were idolized. The minimum coin size is $0.01 and the max is $1 per line making the maximum bet set at $20.

The Achilles symbol will be your wild symbol. While it does not come with a multiplier it will substitute for the base game symbols found within the game. It can also appear on all 5 reels allowing for a top pay of 10,000 coins.  It will also pay 2500 coins should four appear on an active payline, 500 coins for three, 25 coins for 2 and 2 coins for 1. As there are 20 paylines in this slot even getting one on the first reel can result in multiple winning lines. When 3 or more appear you then will be able to select one to be rewarded with as many 25 spins. All free spins that are awarded by the Achilles symbol will come with a multiplier of three. The free spins can be won again during the initial free spins that were awarded.

The scattered Troy symbol will award ten free spins when 3 or more of these appear in any position across the reels. The benefit to this series of free spins is that whenever three or more of the troy appear or a combination of the troy and Achilles symbols appears you will win an additional 10 free spins. This can occur multiple times without a maximum number of free spins that can be won.

The progressive jackpot is awarded at random at the conclusion of any spin. The amount that was wagered has no bearing on the ability to win the progressive jackpot as it is in play whether you wager the lowest amount or the maximum amount.

This is a solid and well designed slot that offers some great potential for big wins let alone of jackpot to boot.
