Free slot: Helios Fury

How Helios Fury works

In the world of online casino, there are themes that are recurrent, no matter which provider you decide to play on. The ancient Greek era is one of the most common in the slots world, and Relax Gaming's latest creation, Helios Fury, is no exception. In this slot, you will be immersed in the middle of the city of Athens, where Helios, the personified sun god, is waiting for you with a torch to conquer the fabulous jackpot that is hidden in this mythical city. The starting grid that awaits you in Helios Fury is classic, as it has 5 columns with 3 horizontal rows. The connections work in the classic way, unless the wild symbol is present. Indeed, as you will read a little further down in this Helios Fury review, there is a feature to be found in the base game. It will also be possible to unlock bonus games on this slot from Relax Gaming.

During your pay games, each time a wild symbol is part of a connection, it will move one square. You will get another free spin, and if it becomes part of a connection again, it will move one more square to the right. The feature stops once the wild symbol is no longer part of a connection. As you will read in the section that talks about how the bonus works on this slot machine, this feature allows you, potentially, to get free spins.

The different symbols of Helios Fury

Helios Fury is a slot machine with many different symbols. First of all you have the wild. This symbol allows you to connect with all the other symbols present on the slot.

Then there are four premium symbols. These are called premium symbols because they appear less often than the other symbols, but pay more when they are part of a connection. These symbols are represented by typical objects that remind us of that time in history. The following screen shows the values of each symbol for a starting bet of €1.

Then there are five common symbols. These are so called because they appear much more often than the other symbols, but pay dramatically less when they are part of a connection. They are represented by the card game symbols, namely: spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. There is also a star symbol that represents the last common symbol. The following screen shows the values of each symbol for a starting bet of €1.

The different connections of Helios Fury

Helios Fury is a slot machine that works with special connections. In order for a connection to occur, a symbol must be to the right of, one square above or one square below the other symbol. The further a symbol goes on your starting grid, the bigger your final win will be. The following screen shows two starting grids. The leftmost one shows a valid connection to that slot, while the rightmost one shows an invalid connection.

It is important to know that the connections on the Helios Fury slot machine only work from left to right and only the highest payout per line will be taken into account.

How the Helios Fury bonus works

As mentioned in the introduction to this slot, Helios Fury has a bonus feature. To trigger it, a wild symbol must be present on the last column of your starting grid. If it manages to land on that column, it must be part of a connection to trigger the free spin feature. The following screen shows that the last wild symbol is part of the connection and thus the free spins are triggered.

Once you get the free spins, you start your game with 6 spins. A wild symbol is located in the middle of your first column and the wild works just like in the basic game: as soon as it is part of a connection, it moves one space to the right. As you may have noticed, your starting grid is also larger, which increases your number of possible connections.

As you can see on the following screen, some of the squares are lit on fire. As soon as the wild symbol lands on your last column or on one of the flaming squares, you get an extra free spin. Another way to get an extra free spin is to have a wild symbol appear on your starting grid. No matter where it appears, you will be awarded a free spin. Once they've landed on your last column, or if they're stuck with another wild symbol (as in the first horizontal line of the following screen), the wilds stay in the same place for the duration of your free spins.
