The Ancient Greeks held a great deal of dominance across Europe, and they would have given all the credit to the faith that they put in their gods. Various Greek Gods are celebrated throughout this title, and their generosity shines through in the form of lucrative wins. The backdrop depicts the home of the Gods, as you see a glorious building cushioned between pure white clouds and blazing sun, but it is when you head to the raging peak of Olympus where you will experience the power of X UP Free Spins.
The God symbols are the highest value symbols throughout this video slot. The Wild Golden God will link to all paying symbols except for scatters, to create more winning opportunities. Collect X UP scatters to increase the Free Spins multiplier. Collect more scatters during the future to bring additional spins! The Free Spins feature has the X UP Multiplier which maxes out 50x and will be the key to getting that 50,000x max win payout.

It debuted in the popular Africa X UP video slot, and now the company has made sure fans have another title to enjoy it in Chronicles of Olympus X UP. Both titles now sit at the online casinos among a raft of innovative Microgaming titles such as Immortal Romance Mega Moolah and Game of Thrones Power Stacks.

Chronicles of Olympus X UP Gameplay – X UP Scatters are the Key to Success!
There are plenty of ways to gain both big and small wins during the base game. Themed symbols are the highest payers. Wild Golden Gods will always extend to fill the entire reel which they land on. During the base game, X UP Scatters will land on reels 2, 3 and 4. Each time 2 Scatters land, they are collected and added to the X UP Multiplier meter. If you land 3 Scatters on the same spin, the Free Spins feature automatically triggers. The X UP meter represents the size of the multiplier with which you will begin the Free Spins feature.
There is the possibility to use the UPSIZER at an additional cost, which will increase the size of the multiplier you begin the round with. The Buy Bonus is another way to trigger the Free Spins, and this comes with the cost of 100x the stake. However, in using this you will be given a random starting multiplier and the UPSIZER tool will not be an option.
During Free Spins, Scatters only land on reels 2 and 4. By landing 2 Scatters you will add to the X UP Multiplier meter, and gain +2 additional spins.

The firm regularly releases a news piece at the start of the month detailing the games expect for release in the coming month.
Free Spins, UPSIZER & Buy Bonus
Landing 3x XUP scatter symbols during the base game will trigger the free spins bonus feature. You begin the round with 8 Free Spins. However, to improve your chances of large payouts, you have the option of using the UPSIZER feature. You can buy this for an additional cost before the round starts. It allows you to activate a higher starting free spins multiplier. The more X UP tokens that you have collected during the base game will reduce the cost of the available free spins multipliers.
During free spins, the multiplier that is currently active will apply to all wins. It is possible to increase this multiplier up to a maximum of 50x by filling up the X UP free spins multiplayer meter located to the side of the reels. As well as adding to the meter, landing 2x X UP Scatters will award an additional 2 free spins.
If you have elected to use the Buy Bonus tool at a cost of 100x the stake, you will be awarded 8 free spins and a random starting multiplier is given to you.

Rounding Up Chronicles of Olympus X UP – Witness the Power of the Gods with XUP!
This is truly an epic title from start to finish! It is not often that the base game keeps your attention away from the free spins feature. The base game keeps you more than occupied, but when that feature does kick in, you’re in for a treat. You are rewarded for XUP’s collected during the base game with an increased free spins multiplier. That said, the buy bonus option gives you a random chance to trigger the maximum 50x multiplier, so it could be worth the gamble.
Speaking of the free spins feature, it seems much easier than many other titles to obtain additional spins during the bonus feature. This gives you a good chance to claim healthy wins while also providing great entertainment value. The game design is solid with quite powerful imagery and an equally strong soundtrack throughout, both of which immerse you into the theme of this game. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable video slot and one that will do very well for Alchemy Gaming and Microgaming.
