Herculean Spins
The legend of Hercules is perhaps one of the best known tales from Ancient Greek mythology. And the reason for that is that is just simply epic. The quintessential Greek hero (also the son of Zeus) was known for his super-human strength and his daring adventures, also known as the 12 labours. These stunts included slaying a monstrous lion, a nine-headed sea monster, man-eating birds of prey, as well as capturing various creatures and precious treasures such as the golden hind of Artemis, the Erymanthian Boar, the Cretan Bull and Cerberus – the three headed hound which guarded the underworld.
However, while Hercules may have succeeded at doing this, it is quite evident from the paintings and sculptures of the epic hero that he wasn't able to dress himself!
Strong Graphics
Fortunately, the hero of this slot machine is covered up in all the right areas, depicted wearing the trademark headdress from the slain lion of Nemea along with a magnificent amour of plated gold.
In fact, the quality of the graphics that this game presents are quite magnificent with well detailed two dimensional illustrations representing come iconic symbols from the story of the hero, such as a spiked club, a strengthening belt, golden apples, the three headed dog Cerebus and the nine-headed beast Hydra.

Every time that a successful pattern of icons is made, the following multipliers will be applied to the value of the line bet to calculate the prize that is given:
Three-Headed Bonus Action
- No matter how much you want to place as a stake, this slot machine will give players of all abilities a bit of a strengthening boost. That is thanks to three special bonus symbols which will increase the chances to add to the betting balance:
- Herculean strength: this feature is triggered by the powerful Hercules symbol which will land on the second, third and fourth reels, acting as a wild to complete winning combinations for symbols in the pay table above. What's more, if this icon appears in the centre of reel 3, it will expand to cover all of the position on that reel and it will lock into place for 2 re-spins. If three icons appear anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4, then it will expand to cover all three of those reels and lock in place for 1 re-spin.
- Free games: this bonus element is fairly straightforward, but still potentially lucrative. That is because players who find three or more “Hercules” scatters in any position will be treated to 10 free spins with all wins multiplied by 3x.
- Hydra bonus: get stuck into the action with this spectacular side game. Players who find a “Bonus” hydra symbol on reels 1 and 5 will be taken to a new screen where they will see Hercules fighting the dreadful nine-headed monster. Punters simply have to shoot arrows at the various heads to win random cash prizes. If you manage to slash on of the heads, then a win multiplier will be added to the overall bonus prize.
Not only does this video slot machine offer those three bonus features, but it will also give all players the chance to enter into a progressive jackpot side game where there are 4 kitties up for grabs. This game is triggered at random, but it is more likely to be offered to spinners who play with higher total bets.
