Almost all games are optimized for playing on smartphones these days, and the quality of gameplay tends to improve with each new release. It’s pretty cool to be able to pick up a phone and play games with live dealers or experience 3D graphics and immersive gameplay.
Most online games need a hook, however; something thematic to bring them to life. For slots, a fertile ground has been the area of myths and legend. As you might expect, Greek myth is a good option, as there is plenty of ‘canon’ available to create games. Everyone from Achilles to Zeus has received the slot treatment, and we have picked some of the best options for mobile online gaming below:
Age of the Gods: Mighty Midas
There’s a lot of Age of the Gods games, and we will probably mention another one on this list, but we have become big fans of the Mighty Midas slot. Of course, basing a slot game on a Greek myth about a king who can turn things to gold makes a lot of sense. The game looks pretty basic, with most of the main action being a Midas Touch feature where symbols will turn to wild symbols. But appearances can be deceiving, and Mighty Midas has five different bonus games that can help you win 1000s of times your stake.
Battle of the Gods
Battle of the Gods has a smart but simple concept, where the Greek Gods battle against the Titans for cash prizes. The game’s creator, Playtech, has not made the game too complicated, instead going for simple animations and special features. You can play Battle of the Gods to get a flavor of the action, but what we like most about Battle of the Gods is its Free Games bonus. That feature awards unlimited free spins when the “Gods” are in play, and a countdown when the “Titans” enter the fray, Superb stuff.
Medusa’s Gaze
Technically, Medusa’s Gaze is a slot game, but it looks like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The game is played with a series of moving blocks in a spinning wheel, which will award prizes if three are more matching colors appear in a row. The prizes are pretty huge here, with 10,000 times your bet awarded for eight matching orange symbols. There isn’t much elaborate gameplay here, but the game looks great and packs a mighty punch in terms of payouts.
Age of the Gods: Prince of Olympus
This game came along with the first wave of AOTG slots, but it’s still one of the best online games found anywhere online. The titular Prince of Olympus is Hercules, and the game is themed around his fabled strength. A cool bonus game is based on the story of the Hydra, where Hercules destroys the heads for money and multipliers. However, our favorite feature is the Herculean Power bonus, during which Hercules will change to a super-sized wild symbol for a special respin.
Golden Goddess
Golden Goddess isn’t specifically about any Greek goddess, but it has enough reference to Greek mythology to satisfy our criteria here. The game is all about the stacked symbols, which can fill the entire reel set to award huge prizes. While those prizes can be massive, you can also find the game in a Mega Jackpots version, which links Golden Goddess to a series of games with a shared progressive jackpot. That prize could be worth millions.
