Mighty Aphrodite

The Mighty Aphrodite video slot, a game produced by Rival Gaming, is all about the Greek goddess of love and fertility. She stands to the left of the reels as a blonde avatar with a very revealing white outfit and gold jewelry as you play on the reels in this game. The graphics are more than adequate, and the more feminine twist on the Greek sub-genre is much appreciated for the breath of fresh air it provides compared to other similar titles that seem to take themselves much too seriously. The gameplay is balanced with lots of small and medium wins as well, which lends itself to a low volatility.

Game Format

The format of this title is set up so that you have a number of ways to get paid without having to worry about the total number of lines being so large that you can't really keep up with them. There are five vertical reels along with three horizontal rows, and 25 total paylines are available from left to right only. You can pick different numbers of lines, but you'll only get the highest payout rate with the maximum of 25 activated.

With 25 lines on, you can put up to 10 coins on each payline for a betting range of 25 to 250 coins per turn. Since the coins themselves are worth $0.01 to $0.25 each, your minimum wager is $0.25 per turn with a maximum of $62.50 per spin.

Stacked Aphrodite Wild Symbol

The Aphrodite symbol shows up on all five of this game's reels. She's also always stacked two symbols high, and she's the wild symbol in this game as well. Since she appears stacked, you have lots of extra chances to hit winning combinations in the first place, but if you get more than one on the reels at once, it makes it much easier to hit multi-line payouts.

Five of a kind of this wild symbol is worth a 500x payout, the largest regular prize in the game. You'll also have wins of 150x and 50x waiting on you for when you nail four of a kind or three of a kind Aphrodite combinations in this game.

Pegasus Free Spins Mode

Pegasus is the flying horse in Greek mythology, and he's the key to getting a set of free spins in this title. Three of a kind will give you seven free turns, but four will get you a total of 11. You can even make it 21 free spins at a time if you get five scattered Pegasus symbols on the reels at the same time, and these are awarded no matter where they show up.

There are two things that you need to know about this feature. First is that you can re-trigger the feature by getting three or more of the scatter once again, and there's no limit to how many times this feature can be re-triggered. Second, you will have cupid firing arrows at random during this feature, and that will result in random multipliers worth up to 5x. The multiplier for the bonus is noted in the top-left corner of the reels in the "Multiplier" box.

Lovely Payouts and Winning Combinations

The golden coin symbol will get players 200x for five of a kind, and you can also earn 150x for five of the vase. The golden harp symbol is worth 100x for five on a payline, and five on an activated line for the heart symbol pays out 75x. Things drop down slightly to 50x for five of the shell, and five of the greens will earn players 40x as well.

Wins drop off severely for the card rank symbols. It's 25x and 20x for five of the A or K symbols, respectively. From there, you can win from 16x down to 10x for five of the Q, J, 10 or 9 symbols, all of which are styled in a Greek-type font.

In Summary

Most games in the Greek sub-genre for online slots offer more or less the same style of super-serious gameplay, but the Mighty Aphrodite video slot by Rival Gaming goes in a different direction. It's a bit more lighthearted, and it puts players in a position to have a lot of small and medium wins with a low volatility while still reserving the ability to pay out larger prizes in the free spins mode thanks to the multipliers that run up to the 5x level.
