Our top picks explained
1. Jammin' Jars – Push Gaming
Jammin' Jars pioneered the moving multiplier-wild cluster game. In free spins the Jam Jars stick around and keep increasing their multipliers, so a bonus with several jars can grow into very large wins. It's still one of the most fun cluster slots, and the RTP is one of the higher defaults on this list.
96.83% RTP · High volatility · 20,000x max win
2. Extra Chilli – Big Time Gaming
Extra Chilli builds on Bonanza with a free spins gamble wheel – risk your spins for a chance at more. Unlimited multipliers remain the core. The 96.82% default RTP is among the best for a Megaways game.
96.82% RTP · High volatility · 20,000x max win
3. Rise of Olympus – Play'n GO
Rise of Olympus mixes cascading grid wins with three god-specific modifiers. It's an older take on the Greek mythology theme than Gates of Olympus and plays quite differently, with more frequent mid-sized feature triggers.
96.50% RTP · High volatility · 5,000x max win
4. Platinum Lightning Deluxe – BGaming
Platinum Lightning Deluxe is the 2018 re-release of BGaming's Greek mythology slot, with upgraded visuals and effects on the same 5-reel, 25-line setup. The wild pays on its own and substitutes for other symbols, and three, four or five wilds multiply a win by 7x, 77x or 777x.
96.29% RTP · Medium-high volatility · 8,888x max win
5. Ice Ice Yeti – Nolimit City
Ice Ice Yeti is a slot whose reel area starts partly covered by ice blocks. Yeti Shake can trigger on any spin, breaking two to ten blocks to open up the grid. The Yeti Wild roars to break two or three blocks and award a respin, during which winning symbols stay put.
96.16% RTP · High volatility · 8,820x max win
