How does RotoGrid work?

When a RotoGrid symbol activates, the whole grid rotates a quarter turn clockwise. Each rotation can create new wins, and wins are settled before moving on to the next rotation. Up to 3 can land on a single spin. It’s a Hacksaw Gaming slot with a distinctive idea of spinning the grid.

What does Connecting Wilds do?

After each rotation, wilds on the same reel connect and fill all the spots between them with wilds. If the grid rotates again, the original wilds and the new ones can connect again on other reels, so you may even see the screen filled with wilds. As rotations continue, the chances for wilds to connect grow, so a single spin can run quite long. With multiple RotoGrids, the next symbol activates only after the previous one’s rotations are all finished.

When does the Power of Hercules trigger?

After the grid has fully settled, there’s a chance Hercules strikes it with his club or fist. One randomly chosen low-paying symbol is then turned into wilds everywhere on the screen. It’s a finishing blow that comes after the rotations and Connecting Wilds are done. The more times RotoGrid rotates, the more chances wilds have to connect. That’s why spins where RotoGrid and wilds land together are the most exciting moments.

Can I choose the bonus myself?

Yes, 3 FS symbols let you choose between Layers and Labyrinth, and 4 let you choose between Godly Layers and Godly Labyrinth. Layers gives 10 spins with RotoGrid and wilds appearing more often. Labyrinth gives 8 spins where coins break cracked stones as they drop and collect in the treasure chests below, and the chest values are paid out at the end. The more low-paying symbols on the grid, the bigger the effect.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is 94.30%, volatility is high, the max win is 10,000x, and the hit frequency is 36%. This game has no bonus buy, so it’s worth counting in the demo how often FS symbols land. Once you get into the bonus, pick between Layers and Labyrinth in turn to compare how they play. The Godly versions use the same rules but show special symbols more often.
