Olympus Infinity Reels: Slot Overview

Australian developer GamesLab links up with fellow Aussies ReelPlay again, this time licensing the studio’s Infinity Reels engine. In Olympus Infinity Reels, the team goes with one of the most familiar slot backdrops around—Ancient Greece—following the similarly well-worn Asian setting used in GamesLab’s earlier Infinity Reels release, Royal Dragon. The theme choice isn’t exactly daring, and the feature set feels closely related too, with Frenzy Spins, Infinity Bonuses, and free spins driven by a progressive symbol multiplier.

From a presentation standpoint, Olympus Infinity Reels carries over a comparable style to Royal Dragon. Not in terms of characters, but the sheer cliffs, glowing waters, and brooding skies create that same hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. For an Ancient Greek slot it does look a bit different, so it earns points there. The 3-reel, 4-row layout is engaging, and the artwork on the symbols has a weighty, mythic feel. A big, dramatic score underlines the serious tone GamesLab has chosen for its take on Greek mythology—some studios go light and cartoony, whereas Olympus Infinity Reels plays it straight.

Olympus Infinity Reels runs on all devices, with bets ranging from 30 p/c to $/€120 per spin. On paper, the numbers are a little contradictory. The highly volatile setup suggests it’s aimed at risk-takers, yet the game doesn’t really support that with standout upside—unless you’re prepared to push things via the gamble option. The RTP is also somewhat variable. The standard return sits between 95.61% and 95.72% depending on which feature you accept (details below), but it climbs to a healthy 97.38% when purchasing free spins.

A look at the paytable shows 10 standard symbols, made up of 4 low-paying gems and 6 creature/character icons including owls, cyclops’s, minotaurs, Medusa, Cerberus, plus a ram. Zeus himself acts as the wild, replacing everything except the Lightning Bolt symbol discussed next.

Olympus Infinity Reels: Slot Features

Alongside the Infinity Reels concept, the game includes a symbol multiplier, Frenzy Spins, an Infinity Bonus, a Feature Trail, Free Spins, and a Free Spins Gamble option—so there’s plenty going on.

Powered by the Infinity Reels mechanic, every spin starts on 3 reels. If the rightmost reel extends a win to 5 or more matching symbols, an extra reel is added. That new reel spins, and if it improves the win again, another reel is appended. This continues until no further winning symbols are added. True to the title, Olympus Infinity Reels has no cap on how many reels can be added.

As the reel set expands with each improved win, a symbol multiplier is triggered too. It begins at x1 and rises by 1 whenever a new reel is added. The multiplier has no maximum and resets between paid spins. Additionally, if 12 or more reels are added during a single spin, players also receive an Infinity Bonus worth 200x the bet. The symbol multiplier does not affect the Infinity Bonus.

In the base game, any spin can also trigger a Frenzy Spin. When this happens, winnings for that spin only are multiplied by x2, x3, x4, or x5.

The final special symbol is the Lightning Bolt. When a win includes this symbol, the game offers free spins with a particular feature. You can accept the offer or decline it to continue playing in hopes of being offered a stronger one. A 12 segment wheel is then spun to award normal, super, or mega free spins. The feature element is tied to Cerberus, Chimera, and Zeus, each providing better odds of landing higher-tier free spins rounds. Depending on your current level, the wheel segments are:

• Cerberus: 11 normal free spins + 1 super free spins segment.
• Chimera: 6 normal free spins, 5 super free spins + 1 mega free spin.
• Zeus: 6 super free spins + 6 mega free spins segments.

Normal free spins grant 8 standard spins, while super free spins include at least one guaranteed wild on reel 2. Mega free spins include at least two guaranteed wilds on reel 2. In free spins, the symbol multiplier does not rest, and it increases by +1 to +5. Winning spins raise the increment level, while losing spins reduce it. Any lightning bolt win retriggers 8 additional free spins. Once the round ends, players can either take their winnings or gamble them for up to 5 times the amount.

Lastly, players outside the UK can buy the bonus for 83.33x the total bet. This immediately spins the 12 segment wheel to award normal, super, or mega free spins.

Olympus Infinity Reels: Slot Verdict

Olympus Infinity Reels often feels like familiar territory—at least in large part. It tracks closely to Royal Dragon Infinity Reels, which itself echoed ReelPlay’s Egyptian-themed Giza Infinity Reels. From the shifting symbol-multiplier increments to the gamble option, there’s very little that feels fresh, if anything. The backdrop may have changed, but Olympus and the Greek Gods are hardly newcomers in iGaming. Overall, the lack of real originality makes you wonder why it needed to exist at all. Infinity Reels diehards may still enjoy it, but others could struggle to see the point.

In terms of gameplay, it’s largely standard fare: Olympus IR uses Infinity Reels competently and doesn’t try to push much beyond that. The potential is where things get interesting. The maximum win in the base or bonus game is 1,845x your stake, while the gamble feature can extend this to 10,000x the bet. Still, because the gamble feature is capped at 5 times the free spins winnings, the overall win ceiling should remain protected.

If the Infinity Reels craze hasn’t won you over yet, Olympus Infinity Reels probably won’t be the one to change your mind. It brings little that feels new, leaving the experience closer to a polished copy-and-paste than a standout entry.
