ELA Games has released Odysseus Wild Journey, a new slot that reimagines Homer’s epic as a luxury Mediterranean cruise. In this version of the story, Odysseus sails home on a leisure boat hosted by Poseidon, who works as the ship’s mixologist. The sirens become cruise lounge singers, and Athena joins the celebration on board.
The base game has two character features:
- Athena: when she lands on the reels on her own, she gives consecutive respins until a winning combination lands.
- Odysseus: a full stack of Odysseus doubles the total win for that spin.
Ship Scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins round. If Odysseus and Athena land at the same time, they unlock Super Free Spins, where every win is multiplied by 3x on every spin.
Yaroslav Soloshenko at ELA Games said:
“We know mythological themes are consistent player favorites, and current trends show audiences are drawn to more playful takes on familiar stories. Finding a way to keep all the grand elements of the original myth while introducing a humorous angle allows us to introduce the engaging character mechanics that modern players look for, while making sure the game feels original.
Seeing Odysseus’s ship from a completely new perspective as a luxury leisure boat aligns with ELA Games’ tradition of consistently rethinking classics in our own distinct style. Giving Athena and Odysseus their own specific modifiers keeps the base game unpredictable, and the Super Free Spins round shows what happens when those elements combine.”
ELA Games is betting that players want familiar myths told in a lighter way. For operators, the game offers a well-known theme with a new angle. Its features are built around the two main characters in both the base game and the bonus round.
Game Specifications:
- RTP: 96.16%
- Volatility: Mid
- Max Win Cap: 840x
The Odysseus Wild Journey demo is available on the ELA Games website.
