Hercules 10K Ways Features

Hercules 10K Ways is a 5x4 slot that benefits from an additional row which sits at the top of the screen. This row contains 4 symbols and Hercules can only appear up there during the base game.

Wins are created by landing 3–6 matching symbols on adjacent reels. However, the Golden Lion symbol only requires 2 for a prize to be distributed. There are 4 Picture symbols making up the biggest pays while 9 through Ace make up the lower payouts.

Hercules and his apples

Hercules acts as a Wild and substitutes for all other symbols except the Golden Apples. Speaking of which, 5 of these are needed to trigger the Hercules Battle Spins feature. Each apple contains a prize figure and this is awarded as you enter the feature. 

Additionally, the Golden Apples award Hercules an extra life and these are essential if you are going to make it through to the final round of this battle. It all begins when you fight Boar and you essentially need to have more lives than he does at the end of the fight. 

Hercules and Boar symbols will land during 3 respins and they’ll stick in place. When the spins end, Hercules symbols will remove a life from Boar and vice versa. If your man outlives the monstrous opponent, then you move on to the next round. This continues as you battle against Hydra, Cerberus and then Lion. Defeating Lion will leave you with a Victory Prize, which comes in the form of one of the jackpots.

Golden Apples give Hercules extra lives during the main feature along with additional prizes. After the final battle, they can offer up 1 of the jackpots.

Hercules 10K Ways Review

The idea of the 10K Ways selection of slots is effectively ReelPlay’s answer to Megaways. The additional row helps to increase the number of paylines, up to a maximum of 10,000, and winning symbols are removed to allow a cascade of new ones. This can continue bringing you wins in the same sequence that doesn't cost you any extra credit. The main difference between 10K Ways and Megaways—apart from a significantly lower number of win ways—is that a fixed number of symbols land on the reels.

Design

Being the god of strength and counting Jupiter among your famous parents, you would expect a fitting and epic display for Hercules 10K Ways. There are temples dotted around the cliff edge but it looks a little bit like these temples have been caught in a sandstorm—I guess it does help add to the mystique that ReelPlay is trying to create. The soundtrack and effects aren't particularly striking although they will keep the game ticking along nicely on a range of devices, including mobile phones.

Gameplay

Hercules 10K Ways is another game that suffers from hiding all of the good bits away from the base game. I can't argue with Hercules Battle Spins but the rest has been rather neglected. So do whatever it takes to make your way to the Bonus Feature as quickly as possible in order to see exactly what this slot has to offer.

Win Potential

It isn't often you get a slot with such a high number of pay lines and a relatively low max win—it stands at just 6,108x and the RTP is 96.10%. You can also look forward to a hit frequency of 24.52%.

Our Verdict

Make no mistake about it, a bad run of spins on Hercules 10K Ways can be quite a depressing sight. That said, if you are lucky enough to trigger the feature fairly quickly and challenge those 4 monstrous opponents, you will find a lot of enjoyment and potentially big wins at the same time.
