Divine Riches Helios

Bring a little sunshine into your life with Divine Riches Helios, the online slot from Just for the Win. Take to the skies with the Greek god of the sun, Helios, in a quest to gather up cash prizes on your travels. And his chariot of gold may bring you real life riches, with a top payout of x5000.

Many studios like to dabble in Greek mythology, and fantasy themes, and Just for the Win is no exception. They've got a series of online slots based on "Riches", and Helios is the latest deity to join in with his own game. Previous titles include Odin's Riches, and Neptune's Riches, two very well-known gods from Norse and Roman folklore. Helios is one of the Greek Titans, bringing the sun from the east every morning riding a golden chariot while making the reverse journey at a more leisurely speed at night in a golden cup!

Helios is the proud namesake of this slot which appears with a 5x4 grid and 30 fixed paylines. Betting starts at 0.20 and rises to 30.00, a relatively modest range for such a proud deity! However, the betting matches well with the volatility, which is medium. This means that you should enjoy a steady stream of average prizes, but you'll have a longer wait for Helios to spill any of the big payouts!

You can practically feel the warm glow from the sun as you bask in the sunny radiance of the design of this slot. An azure blue sky with just a wisp of a cloud lays behind the reels while Helios stands to the side, with a glowing golden orb behind him. This could be the sun that he's about to drag across the sky, but in truth, it looks more like a giant golden coin! Maybe it's a hint of the riches which are about to be unleashed…

On the paytable, the playing card suits kick things off and pay up to x3 for a full line of five. The premium symbols include pots, musical instruments, olives, purple horse statues and the head and shoulders of Helios himself. The god is the top value symbol, understandably, and is worth x10 for matching five.

Wilds can also appear on the reels as a helping hand and will substitute for any of the regular symbols.

Helios isn't shy about showing off his bulging muscles, and he seems remarkably pleased with this slot. There are a couple of nice extras which can increase your winnings, but arguably they're not quite as exciting as Helios' expression suggests…

If you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters simultaneously, you'll be awarded 8, 12 or 16 free spins. During these bonus spins, you'll be collecting Helios symbols every time they land on the reels, alongside regular play. Once you have 12 Helios symbols, you'll unlock the Hand of Helios feature. You'll receive two more free spins, and one of the premium symbols is upgraded to the next one above it on the paytable. You can then go back to collecting more Helios symbols as it's possible to trigger this feature more than once during each bonus round.

In either free spins or the base game, there are also special bonus symbols. If they land, you'll be taken to a Pick Me game where the aim is to uncover three matching icons. You're looking for either Divine, Mega, Major or Big - and if you get three of the same, you'll win the corresponding payout. The prizes for each of these bonuses are x5000, x200, x40 and x15, respectively.

Divine Riches Helios from Just for the Win is a Greek-themed game which is refreshingly free of pillars, Mount Olympus or the other usual imagery used in this type of slot. Helios is a real character, and you'll get the essence of this Greek god instantly! True, the features aren't incredibly original, and it's nothing that you won't have seen before. The payouts and volatility may also be a little tame for hardcore players chasing big wins. But for most players, this is a really fun slot that's bursting with great design features and multiple chances to collect cash payouts. Miss it and miss out!
