About the Achilles Slot Game

RTG brings you Achilles, a slot game that immerses Filipino players in the legendary Trojan War. Step into the sandals of Achilles, the near-invincible Greek hero whose one weakness ultimately led to his downfall. This game perfectly captures the essence of that historic conflict through its compelling symbols and graphics. Achilles features a 5-reel, 20-payline structure. Land a decent top jackpot, and you could win 10,000 times your line bet, potentially reaching up to $2,500 before bonuses. Keep an eye out for free games, scatter symbols, multipliers, and wild symbols to boost your winnings.

Betting Requirements for Pinoy Players

Wagering on Achilles is straightforward, allowing flexibility for all types of players in the Philippines. You can adjust your bet between $0.20 and $5. This provides a line bet range from $0.01 to $0.25. While this setup is accessible, high rollers looking for extensive betting options might find the maximum bet a bit modest.

Theme & Design

Achilles and its focus on the Trojan War will give you an experience that is built around Ancient Greece. You have the city of Troy in one of the symbols, we get an image with Achilles dressed as a warrior, there is Helen as well in a major symbol, and then we get the Trojan Horse, a shield, a flag and six poker cards. The entire collection of symbols and the surrounding graphics will look very dated, which is one side of the game that I’m not happy about. The slot looks pretty much like it came out a decade ago. The fact that half of its symbols are stock poker cards obviously doesn’t help at all.

Special Features

The way so many other slot machines have chosen to do before, Achilles also has only two major feature symbols present on the five reels. One of them is Achilles, as the wild, the other is the city of Troy, as a scatter. Achilles, shown in the wild symbol, will be used by the game in a couple of ways, some of them surprising. The regular roles it undertakes here are those of jackpot trigger and a wild symbol. The additional role is that of a scatter, which it also offers. First of all, you’re going to have Achilles on the reels in all sorts of regular combinations, substituting for symbols that you need in those same positions that it landed in. Achilles can’t be used as a replacement for the scattered Troy, but other than that there are 10 other regular symbols which can use its help. One other situation where I love to see Achilles is when it appears multiple times on the same line and properly arranged to form a combo. You need two or more symbols to form a combo with wilds alone. The rewards can be great, going up to 10,000 coins, or $2,500 cash. Now, the unusual role for Achilles is that of the scatter. Having at least three Achilles wilds scattered on the reels will trigger a feature where you pick one of the symbols, and you get 15 to 25 free spins. The Troy scatters are transformed into Helen or Achilles symbols during these spins. A big bonus is the multiplier of 3x that comes for all wins obtained during the free rounds. You can even retrigger free spins. As for Troy, the actual symbol that’s used only as a scatter, you will use it from all positions it lands in, and with at least three present you will get rewards as well as free spins. The rewards can be as good as those coming from the wild, reaching 500x total bet, so the same 10,000 coins. As for the free spins coming from 3+ scatters, you get a fixed number of 10 rounds here, with a 2x multiplier applied to the wins. To retrigger the feature, you need a mixed group of 3+ Troy/Achilles symbols. Apparently, the wild symbol gives you the better free spins in this game, with more rounds and a bigger multiplier. It’s not a role that’s usually available to wild symbols, so it’s a pleasant surprise.

Jackpot

The regular top jackpot is set to 10,000 coins, or up to $2,500. You get triple that during the wild’s free spins, so the jackpot can get to $7,500. It might not sound like a big payout, but if you look at the line bet multiple, it does offer you a big return if you’re lucky. You also get the same amount through the scatter symbol (500x the bet).

Conclusion

Achilles is a game that is a nice surprise in many areas, but those graphics are brutal, dated and not fun to look at. If you can get past the design, the rest of the game should be a pleasant experience.
