Introducing Achilles Deluxe Slot

Achilles Deluxe is the highly anticipated remake of one of Realtime Gaming’s (RTG) most successful video slots of all time, Achilles. The original Achilles is now well over a decade old and while it still has good value in terms of gameplay, return to player percentage and in-game bonus rounds, it looks rather outdated in terms of the graphics and user interface.

One thing we can say about Achilles Deluxe is that it has combined the best of both worlds. While it retains the reel set, gameplay and game features that made Achilles so popular and loved, it adds a visual sophistication which looks modern, hi-tech and very aesthetic indeed. It was no secret that Achilles needed a facelift, and Achilles Deluxe has managed to deliver it.

Achilles is a prominent hero in Greek mythology. This game is premised around him and ancient Greek civilization. Achilles was the hero of the Trojan War and is regarded as the greatest of all Greek warriors. His biggest conquest during the Trojan War was the slaying of Prince Hector, a Trojan Prince, right outside the gates of Troy.

How to Play Achilles Deluxe

Achilles Deluxe has a 5×3 reel layout. This insinuates that it has 5 reels (columns) and 3 rows. Playing the game is easy. There are symbols on the reels and if you happen to spin the reels to make winning combinations, you win money. If not, you lose the bet you placed on that spin.

In order to play Achilles Deluxe, you first select the game from the lobby and wait for it to load. Once the game has loaded, the next thing is to set your bet. You can set the bet between $0.20 and $100 per spin, select the bet amount and then click on the green spin icon in the middle to get the reels spinning. If you won, you will see the winnings under the win counter. If not, you will see that your game balance goes down by the bet amount of the spin.

That is how the base game works. But apart from the base game, there are a couple of special features and bonus rounds, elaborated below.

Achilles Deluxe Features

Wild – The wild symbol is denoted by the ‘W’ letter symbol. The wild may be used like how the joker is in a deck of cards. You can substitute the wild for any other symbol that may be needed to complete a winning combination. However, the wild cannot be substituted for a scatter. If you land three or more wilds anywhere on the reels, you will enter the Wild Free Games round. You could receive 10, 15 or 20 wild free games and during this round, the scatter symbol is substituted for wilds and the highest paying regular symbol.

Scatter – The scatter symbol is the Achilles slot symbol with a pink background. If you land at least 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, the free games round is triggered and you get 10 free spins to spin the reels without your balance being deducted. During this bonus round, all your wins are doubled!

Both the free spins games and the wild free spins games rounds can be retriggered.

Progressive Jackpots

Achilles Deluxe has three jackpots in total. The top fixed jackpot is worth 2500 times the stake. Apart from the fixed jackpot, there are also two progressive jackpots, namely, the minor jackpot and the major jackpot. Since these are progressive, their exact value may fluctuate as you play the game. On average, the minor jackpot is worth around $300 and the major jackpot floats around the $1500 mark.

Both the minor and major jackpots are triggered at random. You could win these jackpots out of the blue, no matter what is on the reels at the time.

Verdict

Achilles Deluxe was a much-needed upgrade to the iconic Achilles slot by RTG. With two amazing free spins rounds, three jackpots, crisp graphics and plenty of handy features like auto spin, quick spin and max bet, this slot offers bang for your buck.

The theming is great but not over the top, the symbols are easy to distinguish and the bonus rounds have not been made overly complicated. It is a simple 5-reel progressive video slot that hasn’t lost the winning formula from its predecessor.
