Achilles Yggdrasil Slot Review

The jackpot Achilles offers is only 1,100x your stake. If you play the max bet you’re looking at a top cash prize of $440,000. In the grander scheme of things, it’s not that big.

However, what makes Yggdrasil’s Achilles unique is that Jelly Entertainment packs it with bonus rounds.

Four Modifiers in the base game trigger at an average of 139 spins. More importantly, there’s a Trojan Horse Bonus, The Empire Bonus, and Achilles Free Spins Bonus.

The RTP

Brace yourself for the RTP of Achilles because it’s not good. The RTP or payback rate percentage of Achilles is 94.99%.

At least there are no RTP ranges that we are aware of. The hit frequency in the main game is 3.10. And, for the bonus rounds, the hit frequency is 1:87.

This tells us you’ll probably win the jackpot through one of the Modifiers.

Symbols

The walls of ancient Troy serve as the backdrop for the reel set. The low-value symbols are the cards from 10 to Ace.

The high-value symbols are the Trojan Horse, Paris, Helen, Greek Soldiers, Agamemnon, and Achilles (Wild). The wild substitutes symbols that are adjacent to it.

Base Game Modifiers

Agamemnon Modifier

Agamemnon commands his soldiers to march across the reels and drops one full column of Wilds.

Skinny Greek Soldier Modifier

The Skinny Greek Soldier fires rocks at the walls of Troy with his catapult.

The rocks reveal a mystery symbol as they land in random positions across the reels.

Helen Modifier

Helen sprays her perfume across the reels which creates a supersize symbol. The size of the supersize symbols can be anything from 2×2 to 3×3.

Achilles Modifier

Achilles offers you a choice of 6 mystery prizes hidden behind the soldier shields. The mystery prizes include a Big Win, a 5-of-a-kind win, or one of the Bonus rounds.

Verdict

Some of the best online slots work in concert to create a unified whole. This is exactly what the studios accomplished with Achilles.

Jelly Entertainment seamlessly transitions the online slot into a cinematic work of art. Moreover, its musical score flows into the slot elevating it to new heights. Despite the small jackpot of 1,100x, the below-par RTP, and the volatility.

Yggdrasil brings a masterful composition with a whirlwind of bonus rounds and other interlocking parts.

It’s a slot in which Achilles, previously a one-note character, is in a single-word holistic. All we can say is, Gravitas!

Fantasma Games’ Caravan of Riches might not be in the same league as Achilles. Nonetheless, it’s a good choice. The slot has a similar cinematic ‘look’ albeit not on the same level.

There’s an unlimited number of free spins up for grabs. The hit frequency is 23.04% and the jackpot is 1,312x.
