Helios – Triple Sun: Pragmatic Play's Scatter-Pays Greek Slot

Pragmatic Play has released Helios – Triple Sun, a slot set in ancient Greece and watched over by the Greek god of the sun. It uses tumbling reels and a scatter-pays system, so wins form wherever matching symbols land on the grid. There are no fixed paylines.

How the sun scatters work

The scatters drive the game. When glowing sun scatters land on the tumbling reels, they are collected in three pots above the grid, one for each colour. One to three of them can randomly trigger the bonus game, which starts with eight free spins.

Each coloured scatter switches on its own modifier for the length of the feature:

• Random multipliers are applied during play.
• Extra symbol positions are added on the four middle reels, giving symbols more room on the grid.
• A progressive total multiplier rises by +1x with every tumble win.

Up to three modifiers can run together. That matters most with the progressive multiplier: it keeps climbing through a chain of tumbles, while the added positions make longer chains more likely.

Extending the bonus

Scatters that land during the free spins each award three more spins, so the round can run past its starting eight. According to the studio, these extra scatters can also randomly activate further modifiers during the feature.

The listed features are Free Spins, Tumble, multipliers and scatter pays.

Where it fits in the catalogue

Helios – Triple Sun follows Pragmatic Play's recent releases Gates of Olympus POP and Eastern Fury. Sharon McHugh, the studio's director of public relations, said the game keeps the sun burning as summer winds down. She pointed to the bonus, loaded with random multipliers, expanded symbol positions and a progressive total multiplier. Pragmatic Play develops up to eight new slots each month and also supplies live casino games through a single API.

The official game page lists the RTP of Helios – Triple Sun at 96.46%.
