Helios Fury Review

The Colossus of Rhodes was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and it was a massive statue erected to honor the Greek sun god, Helios. Relax Gaming has clearly been inspired by this majestic sight, as Helios' Fury presents a visually pleasing depiction of how it might have looked to the Greeks who visited the city by sea.

The powerful bronze statue is far from static however, and you’ll see some antics here and there in the base game. He seems to react when wild wins trigger the respin walking wild feature, but Helios truly comes alive when the bonus round triggers. Suddenly the whole city is burning, and you want to sail as many ship wilds across the reels as possible, to make them sticky on the right-hand side.

Helios' Fury Slot Features

The longship wild with a red ‘W’ on the sail steps in for all regular pay symbols, and it also pays 20x your stake for 5-oak (same as the top-tier helmet symbol). What’s more, whenever a wild is part of a winning combo in the base game, the Wild Respin feature is triggered.

The wild will then move one step to the right, and the walking wild respin feature goes on as long as the wild is included in a new win when it moves. You can get multiple walking wilds at the same time like this, but only wilds involved in a win will move.

You trigger the Fury Free Spins feature if you manage to get a walking wild to the 5th reel, and it’s also involved in a win there. This awards 6 free spins on an upgraded 259 paylines 5x5 grid, and you get a starting wild on the middle positions on reel 1.

If a 5th reel hot spot already contains a wild, the next walking wild in line will stop at reel 4 instead, and so forth. It’s thus possible to fill whole rows with nothing but hot spot wilds, and all hot spot wilds remain in place for the duration of the feature. Each wild that lands in a hot spot awards +1 extra spin, and the same goes for new wilds that land on the reels.

Non-UK players can take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature, and this will set you back 90x your stake. This triggers the bonus round with 6 Fury Free Spins. If you purchase the bonus round the RTP increases to a solid 97 %.

The 200 Spins Helios' Fury Slot Experience

Nothing too exciting happened for us in the base game, but we got a walking wild respin here and there.

Review Summary

First of all, it’s nice to see a tribute to the lesser known sun god, Helios, and Relax Gaming brings a certain overall freshness to the overused ancient Greece theme. We have to admit that Helios Fury was a bit underwhelming at first, but after some bonus round purchases it quickly grew on us. The base game is not all that, perhaps, but you do get a taste of the walking/sticky wild frenzy the bonus round can turn into.

The Hot Spot concept is pure genius actually, as things can get really tense when you start piling up wilds on the right-hand side. All the extra spins you get also helps a lot on morale, but the feature is still very ‘hit or miss’. The 6 spins can be over quickly on bad days, but when the sun god is in your corner, the thrill-ride can sail you all the way to a solid 50,000x your stake payout (5,180x per free spin at the most, though).

Pros

• Walking Wild Win Respins in base game
• FS w/ walking wilds that stick to rightmost position
• Filling all positions per row is possible
• Win up to 50,000x your stake in total

Cons

• 90x bonus buy not for UK players
