Pragmatic Play just dropped another Greek mythology slot, and this time the sun god Helios is the star. If you’ve played Gates of Olympus, you’ll recognize a lot here, but there’s a genuinely different twist that makes this one worth trying on its own merits.

What You’re Playing On
It’s a 6×5 grid, and you win by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on screen – no paylines. When you win, those symbols vanish and new ones tumble down to fill the gaps, which can keep chaining wins from a single spin.
Bets range from $0.20 to $240, and volatility sits at medium. The RTP you want to look for is 96.46%, though it changes slightly depending on which betting mode you use.
Symbols and Payouts
The low-value symbols are colored jewels – blue, green, purple, red, and yellow. Above those, you’ve got rings, vases, medallion coins, and crowns as the higher payers. Land 8+ of the same symbol and you’re looking at 0.25x to 10x your bet. Get a massive combo of 12 or more and the top symbol pays out 2x to 50x. There’s no wild symbol in this game, so don’t go hunting for one.
Sun Scatters
This is where Helios Triple Sun breaks from the Gates of Olympus formula. Instead of one scatter symbol, there are three: Red, Yellow, and Blue suns. Each one does something different, and they can stack together.
- Red Sun drops a multiplier worth anywhere from 2x to 100x, applied to your total win at the end of the spin.
- Yellow Sun adds an extra row to the top of the grid, giving you more room for winning combos.
- Blue Sun is the grinder’s favorite – every tumble bumps up a running multiplier by 1x, and that multiplier sticks around until the round ends.
When these scatters land in the base game, they get collected above the reels. Get enough collected and you’ll trigger free spins with one, two, or three of these modifiers active, depending on which suns you landed. You start with 8 free spins, and landing more scatters during the bonus adds 3 extra spins each time, plus a chance to unlock modifiers you didn’t already have running.
Bonus Buy
Don’t want to leave the bonus round to chance? You can switch on the ante bet, which bumps your stake up by 50% in exchange for better odds of triggering free spins. Or just buy your way in directly: 80x your bet gets you free spins with a random one to three modifiers, and 200x guarantees all three modifiers active from the start. That second option is pricey, but if you want the full chaotic experience without waiting around, it’s there.
Is It Worth Playing?
Honestly, yeah. The base game feels pretty familiar if you’ve played other Pragmatic tumble slots, but the triple scatter system genuinely changes how the bonus round plays out. Landing the Blue Sun’s climbing multiplier alongside the Red Sun’s one-off multiplier hits are the games biggest moments – those two together are what push you toward bigger wins. The Yellow Sun’s extra row is fine, but it’s clearly the least exciting of the three.
Max win caps out at 5,000x your bet, which is solid without being over the top. If you liked Gates of Olympus but wanted something with a bit more variety in how the bonus unfolds, Helios Triple Sun is worth a spin.
