If you are interested in the intricacies of Greek mythology, then you can go for the pair of online pokies titled Titans of the Sun. These are available at Microgaming online casinos like Casino Mate, Royal Vegas and Spin Palace. The two online pokies are individually subtitled Theia and Hyperion. They were siblings in the Titan family born from Gaia the Earth and Uranus the Sky. Through an incestuous relationship became the parents of the sun. Both Theia and Hyperion slot machines have some similarities and some differences.
In Theia, the reels are set in the background of an ancient Greece coastal town. The Titans of the Sun logo is the wild symbol and awards the top payout of 2000 times the line bet. The other high paying symbols include Theia looking like a ravishing Greek goddess, Pegasus the divine horse and phoenix that rises from its ashes. The low paying symbols are the usual Microgaming playing card icons from A to 10. The Theia-Hyperion couple is the scatter symbol that pays up to 100 times the total bet.
The highlight of Theia, and of Hyperion, is the feature called Stacked Mystery Symbols. This symbol is an icon of the sun and usually appears stacked across all reels. After any base game spin all Mystery Symbols will transform into any of the same regular symbol except the wild and scatter symbols. This increases the chance of hitting big wins.
A simple free spins feature is triggered when you land three or more of the scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. In Theia, you will be awarded 15 free spins with doubled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered. In the free spins the mystery sun symbol may also transform into a wild symbol.
Theia and Hyperion are fixed 15 paylines online pokies. You can wager up to 10 coins per payline, with the coin size varying from AU$0.01 to AU$1.00. The total bet can vary from AU$0.15 to AU$150.00. Both low rollers and high rollers will find this bet range suitable.
There are some important differences in Hyperion. You have Hyperion as a symbol on the reels instead of Theia. The Titans of the Sun logo awards a bigger top line payout of 5000 times the line bet. This increases the volatility in Hyperion, as compared to Theia. This advantage is compensated for by removing the payout multiplier in the free spins.
