13th Trial Hercules Abyssways™ sees the demi-god battle Hera’s wrath

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Play’n GO deepens its mythological lineup with 13th Trial Hercules Abyssways™, a cinematic slot that follows Hercules into the heart of Mount Olympus for a divine showdown.

13th Trial Hercules Abyssways™ reimagines the legendary hero’s final trial, thrusting players into a celestial conflict where every move carries mythic weight. This slot marries rich narrative with dynamic gameplay, as Hercules faces divine obstacles, aided by Pegasus and the unpredictable hand of Zeus. A bold entry in Play’n GO’s Greek mythology catalogue, this title challenges expectations through its unique visual identity and fluid mechanics.

At the core of the experience is the Abyssways™ feature – a reel system that grows and contracts throughout Free Spins, altering the landscape with every turn. Players will see the power struggle unfold visually as Hera burns symbols away from below while new rows rise above, reshaping the game with constant momentum. The Will of Zeus randomly empowers Wilds to expand dramatically, mirroring his capricious favour. And if Hercules is in short supply, Pegasus swoops in to restore balance and maintain his presence on the reels.

This myth-driven slot stands proudly alongside titles like Rise of Olympus and Gates of Troy, yet forges its own path through mechanical innovation. Its dynamic structure and evolving board state offer a more reactive, story-led experience that rewards player engagement and attentiveness.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said:

“13th Trial Hercules Abyssways™ pushes our design forward. Abyssways™ transforms the grid into something alive – an arena where mythology and mechanics merge.”

Epic storytelling, moving parts, and divine drama combine to make 13th Trial Hercules Abyssways™ a standout addition to the mythological slot genre.

Stakelogic unearths chaos and treasure in Tomb of Mystery

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Stakelogic is taking players on an expedition into the heart of ancient Egypt with Tomb of Mystery, a high energy 5×3 video slot packed with suspense, supernatural mayhem and the promise of buried riches.

Deep beneath the scorching desert sands, Tomb of Mystery follows a heroic treasure hunter as they plunge into a long-forgotten tomb rumoured to hold unimaginable wealth. But players aren’t alone down there. Lurking in the shadows is a mischievous mummy determined to cause chaos, dropping Coins, triggering Wild Reels, and turning every spin into a high-stakes game of chance.

Featuring 20 paylines and an RTP of up to 96.01%, Tomb of Mystery delivers nonstop action through a series of exciting features. As players guide their archaeologist through this ancient labyrinth, the Wild Reel mechanic adds extra excitement. Triggered by collecting two Coins on a single reel, it transforms the entire reel into a 1×4 Expanding Wild for the next two paid spins. Each reel has its own Coin Meter, with progress saved between spins and per bet level, so every Coin collected brings players closer to untold treasure.

The havoc continues with the Mummy Mayhem Feature, which sees the Mummy randomly drop 2–4 Coins into empty meters above the reels in both the Base Game and Free Spins.

The Free Spins feature kicks off with a unique Mini Game, where all 20 positions spin independently to award Coin Symbols and Free Spins. With retriggers and extended Wild Reel play in action, the tomb’s rewards might keep flowing long after the dust settles.

With a maximum win potential of 2,000x the bet, players can double their chances of unlocking Free Spins by activating Super Stake™ or buy directly into the Bonus for 100x their stake.

James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “Tomb of Mystery is all about pulling players into a world of suspense. The mischievous mummy injects a playful unpredictability into every spin, while features like Wild Reels, Coin Meters, and Super Stake add layers of excitement and strategy. It’s a slot packed with surprises, and we can’t wait to see who’s brave enough to unlock the tomb’s legendary power.”

Tomb of Mystery is available to all partners from 14 August 2025.
