Game Overview

When you think about it, the Greek gods didn’t have it bad at all, did they? A nice piece of real estate to live on up in the clouds, superpowers to do what they wanted with, and they pretty much lived forever, not exactly your standard 9 to 5 working day with rent to pay, is it? Okay, rant over, let’s get into the Greek-themed 13th Trial Hercules slot from Play’n GO, a 6-reel game featuring full reel wilds, the Abyssways mechanic, and wins that can reach a maximum of 60,000x the bet.

Theme & Design

Play’n GO makes some epic intros to their slots, so make sure you watch the trailer to the game instead of skipping it. Once you’re up to date with the story, you’ll find yourself in Olympus, with beautiful architecture, waterfalls, and statues spread around the playfield, which sets the scene for another adventure that’s sure to take some Herculean strength to conquer, especially with the rather generous max win of 60k I touched upon in the intro.

Okay, onto recommendations, and rather than list slots in the Greek gaming genre for you to try, I’m going to direct you to our Greek-themed slots category instead so you can drill down into the niche further, or if you want to take a broader approach, you can head over to our general mythology slots page as well.

13th Trial Hercules Gameplay & Features

Play’n GO’s 13 Trial Hercules is a 6-reel, 4-row online slot with 4,096 fixed paylines, high volatility, and an RTP of 96%. Players have a good choice of real money bets to choose from, starting at a minimum of €0.20 per spin up to a maximum of €100.

It’s time to talk about the features, and we’ll start with the Will of Zeus modifier that can trigger any time two wild symbols land on reels 2 through 5. Randomly, if they are part of a winning combo, they may expand to the full length of the reel, potentially creating more winning connections.

The main bonus is a free spins round, triggered when 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters land in view, awarding 10, 15, 20, or 25 spins, respectively. During this feature, the Abyss mechanic is active, and at the start of each spin, a random number of symbols will be burnt and fall off the reels, reducing the reel size. However, between each spin, new rows are added, increasing the total reel size. Additionally, all Pegasus symbols that land will move Hercules scatter symbols up one position, making them safe and giving you a better chance to land more for bigger scatter pays wins.

Pros

  • The Abyss mechanic brings something different to the gameplay.
  • Huge max win of 60,000x the bet.
  • The bonus round seems to trigger quite frequently.

Cons

  • I'm not sure how you are expected to get anywhere near the 60k jackpot.
  • It seems difficult to land a large number of Hercules scatters at once.
  • No bonus buy.

13th Trial Hercules Slot Review Final Thoughts

I always enjoy watching the intro to a Play'n GO slot, but unfortunately, as of late, that's been the best part of the games I've tried, with the gameplay certainly lacking a little bit of oomph. I think that's how I feel about 13th Trial Hercules, too. Don't get me wrong, the Abyss mechanic is a bit different, but I'm not sure what it actually sets out to achieve, as I failed to hit anything remotely substantial in the bonuses I played, so I have no idea how it gets you near the 60k jackpot.

Your views may differ wildly from mine, so make sure you try out our free demo slot and see what you think. Is this a hit, a middle-of-the-road release, or a complete miss?
