The Nemean Lion Slot Machine

The Nemean Lion is Blue Guru Games's very first video slot. This alone would make it worthwhile, but happily there is much more. You may collect Scatters to enhance subsequent free spins, get close to the 25,000x jackpot, and enjoy the magnificent Greek mythology-inspired visuals. The game is set in the Ancient Greek countryside, far from the battlefield or Mount Olympus, where such slot machines are typically located.

Blue Guru has beautifully crafted an idyllic arcadia for their game by placing a 5x5, 40-payline grid in a Peloponnesian valley filled with trees, meadows, and slowly drifting clouds. Similarly evocative is the music, which combines instruments that feel like they belong to the era with a melancholy voice track that rises above.

The RTP is 96.01%, which is average for the industry. Bets range from 0.20 to 100 every spin, and the game is accessible via desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

There are 40 fixed paylines on the 5-reel gaming board for landing winning combos of three or more of a kind crosswise. Lower-value stone-like symbols pay 2.5 to 3.75 times the wager for five-of-a-kind wins, followed by 5 times the wager for a sort of amulet and club, and 6.25 to 50 times the wager for the higher-value character tiles. Wild icons with a swiping paw occur on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 and replace for all symbols outside the scatter.

In The Nemean Lion, players have their own duty to perform, much like Hercules. This is the collection of scatter symbols. During the base game, if one or two scatter symbols land on the middle three reels (2, 3, 4) they are gathered in a metre positioned above each reel. Each metre begins at x2, and its value increases by +1 for every 50 collected scatters. Symbols that activate the bonus round but don't contribute to the collection.

When three scatter symbols appear on the centre three reels, 12 free games are awarded. The spots where triggering scatters land transform into multiplier positions and receive the value from the multiplier metre located above them. Whenever a scatter symbol lands during free spins, its location also becomes a multiplier position. If a scatter lands in a multiplier cell, its multiplier is increased by one. When multiple multipliers contribute to a win, their values are multiplied and then applied to the line win amount. At the conclusion of the round, each multiplier metre above the reels resets to x2.
