Amazing Link: Apollo bonus features

If you are familiar with this slot game’s predecessor Amazing Link: Zeus, then you will not be surprised or shocked by the in-game features, which are many. As previously discussed, the scatters trigger the free spins bonus round, with the thrilling amazing reels features.

The Amazing Link feature paves the way for cash and jackpot prizes while the Pick and Reveal feature could grant you a jackpot win. Here are some of the in-game features available in this online slot game:

Scatters

The Scatter symbol is depicted as a Greek temple and could show up on reels 1, 3 and 5. Land three or more scatters on the reels to trigger the free spins bonus round.

Wilds

Apollo himself acts as a Wild symbol in this online slot game. As per usual, the Wild’s main aim is to substitute for all paying symbols to create winning combinations. Scatters and sun symbols cannot be substituted.

Blazing Sun Symbols

Land six or more of the blazing golden sun symbols to activate the Amazing Link round including respins that include cash prizes and jackpot symbols.

Amazing Link Feature

The main USP of this game is the Amazing Link feature, which once activated, rewards you with three respins including the fixed jackpots and the sticky cash prizes.

During this feature, all amazing symbols will stick into place while the three respins are taking place. Succeed in filling up the reels with 15 blazing sun symbols to win the Mega Jackpot.

Amazing Link: Apollo RTP

The Amazing Link: Apollo RTP stands at an average of 96.40%. This medium to high volatile game offers big wins on a semi-regular basis. You can expect to hit substantial wins during the free spins bonus round.

Verdict

A closer look at the theme, Amazing Link: Apollo is indeed pleasing to the eye but does not bring anything new to the table. We have seen many Greek-themed online slot games, and this game does not add anything extra or interesting to an over-explored theme.

Even so, we think that Amazing Link: Apollo is a thrilling addition to the Microgaming Slots family. It comes with plenty of thrilling features and the allure of the fixed jackpots is unmistakable.

Though the theme and perhaps the execution of such features can prove confusing to some players, we would have loved to see Microgaming thinking outside the box for this one.

With the golden opportunity to snap up a jackpot and with plenty of superb extras such as free spins, respins and wilds, we think this could be more than beneficial and effective in reeling in some big wins!
