In Greek mythology, Helios is the god who drives the sun chariot across the sky every morning. Pragmatic Play made this sun god the star of “Helios – Triple Sun,” revealed on September 14. It’s no exaggeration to say the three suns in the title are the whole game.
Pragmatic Play has a particular fondness for Greek mythology. Ever since Gates of Olympus, fronted by Zeus, became the company’s biggest hit, gods like Hades and Athena have taken their turns on the reels. Helios is a new face joining that pantheon. In golden armor with a spear and shield, he’s clearly a different kind of god from Zeus.
Three suns hang above the reels
The core is a 6×5 pay-anywhere tumble slot. A win happens whenever enough matching symbols land anywhere on the screen, and new symbols drop into the spots left by the winning ones. Three sun pots, red, yellow, and blue, hang above the screen. When a sun scatter lands on the reels, it gets pulled into the pot of the same color.
The bonus starts from these pots. The pot where scatters have gathered randomly triggers 8 free spins. Unlike the usual approach of collecting a set number of scatters, the bonus can open at random even with just one or two. According to the media pack, free spins arrive about once every 158.70 spins.
A Different Power for Each Color
Which features turn on depends on which colored sun was involved when the bonus opened. One adds random multipliers. Another adds extra symbol cells to the middle four reels to widen the screen. The last turns on a cumulative multiplier that rises +1x with every tumble win. All three stay active until the bonus ends.
The three features have different personalities. The random multiplier can hit big but you never know when it will attach. Extra cells widen the screen and make wins easier to land. The cumulative multiplier starts small but grows fast the longer tumbles keep chaining. Which suns are on shapes what you can expect from that bonus.
All three features can also turn on at once. Tumbles continue on a widened screen, the cumulative multiplier rises with each one, and a random multiplier is stacked on top. If more scatters land during the bonus, they can switch on a feature that was still off or add 3 free spins.
Counting how many of the three turn on, there are seven possible cases: three cases with just one on, three with two on, and one with all three on. Even with the same 8 free spins, the screen size and multiplier structure change depending on which of these seven you land on.
The biggest moments come when extra cells and the cumulative multiplier are on at the same time. More cells raise the odds of matching symbols, which keeps the tumbles going longer. The longer the tumbles run, the higher the cumulative multiplier climbs, one step at a time. The two features feed each other.
What the 5,000x Cap Tells You
The max win is 5,000x, which is on the low side for recent Pragmatic Play releases. The frequencies published in the media pack show this game’s character even better. Base game wins come about once every 2.87 spins, which is very frequent, and 1,000x or more happens once every 61,753 spins. The max win comes roughly once every 375 million spins.
This isn’t a game to fire up while chasing the cap. It’s closer to a game for enjoying frequent tumbles and a bonus that changes each time depending on which suns turn on in which combination. Volatility is classed as medium. Bets range from 0.2 to 240, and there are two options: an ante bet at 1.5x and a bonus buy.
A base game win every 2.87 spins means something hits roughly once every three spins. Because tumbles are mixed in, a single hit often chains into two or three more. There’s never a dull moment, but each individual win is small. The big results are concentrated in the bonus.
The maximum payout limit is 1.2 million. That’s the max bet of 240 multiplied by 5,000x. The media pack’s max win frequency of once in 375 million spins is among the rarest numbers even for new Pragmatic Play releases. It makes more sense to enjoy the combinations of the three suns than to pin hopes on the cap.
At the top of the demo screen, three suns, red, yellow, and blue, hang side by side. When a scatter lands, light is drawn toward the sun of its color. On the left are the bonus buy button and an ante button that raises feature chances for 1.5x your bet. Helios stands on the right, holding a spear and shield.
The Same Sun God, a Different Take
Interestingly, there’s already a game starring the same god: Helios Fury from Relax Gaming. That one is far more aggressive with a max win of 50,000x. Within Pragmatic Play, the Greek-mythology Gates of Olympus series and the Eastern-themed Eastern Fury are in a similar tumble-multiplier family. If you’re used to Zeus’s multipliers, it’s worth putting them side by side with Helios’s three suns.
Gates of Olympus 2500, released two weeks earlier, split its bonus across a wheel. Helios hands that job to three suns of different colors. Pragmatic Play has now given two different answers to the question of how to make a bonus feel different every time.
In short
“Helios – Triple Sun” is a 6×5 pay-anywhere tumble slot that Pragmatic Play revealed on September 14, 2026. Sun scatters randomly trigger 8 free spins, and up to three features can switch on together: random multipliers, extra cells, and a cumulative multiplier. RTP is 96.46%, volatility is medium, and the max win is 5,000x your bet. You can try it in the AI Slot free demo, and other new releases are in the Pragmatic Play free slots collection.
