Unusual Suspects: Legends of Olympus Slot Overview

Unusual Suspects: Legends of Olympus is a casino slot from Northern Lights Gaming, expanding the studio's signature series with an Ancient Greek-themed entry. After gunslinging in Wanted Unusual Suspects and getting a taste of cartel business in Unusual Suspects Cartel Cash, the mustached gentleman takes his crew of oddball friends to the summit of Mount Olympus. We must admit that those guys have pretty wild imagination, as they picture themselves as mythical gods holding the fate of the world in their hands. After dubbing themselves as "Legends", they settled comfortably on the last reel to award respins, powerful modifiers, and jackpots up to 5,000x the bet. In the bonus round, the guys will pull together their abilities to guide players through multiple landmarks with additional spins and increased multipliers to potentially arrive at the divine max win of 12,000x the bet.

Unusual Suspects: Legends of Olympus Slot Information

To gain an audience with the Legends, we must scale Mount Olympus and reach its summit. There, surrounded by milky clouds and illuminated by radiant light from afar, the group awaits at a marble table with the world map laid out on its surface. Each of the members is dressed as one of the Ancient Greek gods and wields a unique power. Hovering before them is a blue pulsating portal that will suck in any Wilds landing on the grid to potentially trigger the jackpot round. On the golden-framed grid underneath, payouts will be awarded whenever at least 3 matching symbols land on active paylines while utilizing neighboring reels, starting from the leftmost one. The divine realm awaits all players on a wide range of modern devices, from desktops to smartphones and tablets.

Two sets of regular symbols form the game's payout hierarchy. In the low-paying group, we'll see numbers and letters from playing cards, including 10, J, Q, K, and A, awarding 1x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind hit. High-paying symbols comprise a turquoise tome, a flower wreath, a harp, a sword, and a helmet. Premium icons pay between 2x and 10x the bet for matching 5 instances on an active payline. Alongside regular symbols, there are also Wilds in the form of a golden disc, Divine Wilds represented by 5 members of the group, and Scatters depicting a Greek temple.

Divine Wilds

Each of the 5 group members has their individual symbol that may land only on the last reel during the base game and any reel during free spins. Whenever it does, it triggers the respective Legend's feature.

Legend 1 (pink) = turns between 1 and 4 reels Wild.

Legend 2 (turquoise) = turns the top and bottom of a random reel Wild.

Legend 3 (red) = turns between 5 and 20 positions Wild.

Legend 4 (green) = turns between 1 and 4 horizontal rows of 3 symbols Wild.

Supreme Legend (blue) = selects between 2 and 4 other Legends and activates their powers.

If multiple Wilds happen to land on the same position, the multiplier of that cell will grow with each consecutive instance, up to a maximum of 5x.

Judgement Day Jackpot

All Wilds landing on the grid are collected into the blue portal visible above the board. Every time it happens, there's a chance that the jackpot game will trigger. Players will be presented with tokens to reveal, and the first prize to appear 3 times will be awarded.

Mini = 10x the bet

Minor = 50x the bet

Major = 500x the bet

Grand = 5,000x the bet

Bonus Boost

Whenever 2 Scatters land on reels 1 and 3, without a Legend appearing on reel 5, 2 points will be added to the Bonus Boost meter. Filling up the bar with 100 tokens unlocks the second landmark on the Free Spins trail.

Nudging Scatter Respin

Landing 2 Scatters on reels 1 and 3 may also trigger a respin if there's enough space for the Scatters to nudge down. Then, reels 2 and 4 will be held in place while reels 1 and 3 nudge and reel 5 respins for a chance to land a Legend symbol.

Free Spins

Landing 2 Scatters and any of the Legend symbols in the same spin starts Bonus Respins. Triggering symbols expand to cover their respective columns while reels 2 and 4 respin up to 2 times for a chance to land more Scatters. 2, 3, or 4 Scatters in the triggering sequence award 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. During the round, the Legend that activated the feature unlocks the first landmark on the Bonus Trail. Landing more Legend symbols on successive spins contributes to further progress of the trail that awards extra spins, multipliers, and more Legends on the following thresholds.

Landmark 1 = multiplier of x2 and +5 free spins.

Landmark 2 = multiplier of x3 and + 5 free spins.

Landmark 3 = multiplier of x5 and + 5 free spins.

Landmark 4 = multiplier of x10 and +5 free spins.

Unusual Suspects: Legends of Olympus Slot Conclusion

Northern Lights Gaming continues to explore popular themes with this 7th addition to its Unusual Suspect series. After dabbling in such omnipresent settings as heists, fishing, and the Wild West, the time has come to visit a place with more of a mythological touch. And when talking about ancient cultures frequently reappearing in slots, it must be either Egyptian, Roman, Norse, or Greek. The studio decided on the Hellenic vibes on this occasion and delivered a humorous depiction of a group of male friends with some divine ambitions to play gods. Their hastily prepared outfits may not reflect the powers they possess, but I guess we must appreciate the effort on their part. Plus, this amateur costume party gives the entire scene a lighthearted and humorous touch that nicely balances the usual pathos of Greek mythology. And while the environment on the whole may not be overtly elaborate, everything seems consistent and well put together, dressed in plain yet clean artwork.

Mechanically, Unusual Suspects: Legends of Olympus abandons the sticky frames the series began with and focuses more on a straight-up delivery of Wilds in various forms. Each of the lads has his own idea of it, whether it's transforming single symbols, entire reels, or a sequence of 3 positions on the same row. Free Spins come with the familiar progression bar that may unlock extra spins and multipliers, plus it can begin from an advantageous position if the Bonus Boost meter is complete at the moment of triggering the round. On the whole, the game doesn't exactly scream innovation, but it's a relatively rich setup both in the base game and the bonus round to keep you occupied for a good while. Plus, the solid stats like 29.73% hit rate and the 12,000x max win can make it worth your while, too.

Unusual Suspects: Legends of Olympus adds another familiar gameplay format to the series while exploring the subject of Greek mythology.
