Mighty Aphrodite

Aphrodite was the goddess of many things, but she is most closely associated with love and relationships and that perhaps explains the more saccharine-sweet styling of this slot.

Rival Gaming have taken this and developed a rather attractive and entertaining five-reel slot around the myth and built into it a couple of interesting bonus features. Also Rival Gaming have dressed the goddess like she is starring in a revue at the Playboy mansion. Stockings and a skimpy bra may not really be the clothing you would come to associate with a god.

But if you can put that to one side, then you have a five-reel game with 25 selectable lines and up to ten coins wagerable on each line. Add to that a potential 600,000 coin jackpot and there's lots to enjoy. So let's find out more about what Mighty Aphrodite is about.

Presentation

It's fair to say that Rival Gaming have gone big with the pink theme for the Mighty Aphrodite slot. The color is everywhere in the game but to be fair, it is the more subtle shades they have used, so it isn't too overpowering. Aphrodite is to the left of the reels and for some reason is wearing a push-up bra and stockings. Not really befitting for a Greek goddess if you ask me, but there you go.

The backdrop to the slot is a rather beautiful Greek sunset and the reels dominate the center of the screen. A rather soft and gentle musical accompaniment plays as you spin, and thankfully it isn't all based on Greek Music but is rather more orchestral (and all the better for it). The main controls of the slot are at the foot of the reels and it should be noted the default spin option is 2.50 for 10 coins of 0.01 on each line, so smaller stakes players may wish to revise this downwards to play for less per spin.

What's on the reels?

There are essentially three different sets of symbols on the reels. The first are the lower paying playing card symbols from nine through to the ace and these offer wins ranging from 1 coin up to 25 coins. It is worth remembering that to play maximum lines, you would be wagering 25 coins per spin on the game.

The medium value symbols are based on Greek and the notion of love and they are some olives, a seashell and a heart and these offer wins ranging from 6 coins up to 75 coins for five of the hearts across the reels.

Higher value symbols include the Lyre, a Grecian urn and a gold medal surrounded by olive branches. These offer wins ranging from 15 coins up to 200 coins.

Alongside these symbols there are two other symbols on the reels, the Scatter and the Wild and we'll explore what each of these does in the sections below.

Wild features

The goddess Aphrodite is the in game Wild symbol and she is stacked two-high on each of the reels, meaning she can occupy two of the spaces on the reels if you are fortunate enough. This means you can turn multiple reels Wild on a single spin to land bigger value multiple pay line wins.

This symbol is important in the game as it offers you the best chance of some sizeable wins in the base game when you land multiple Wilds across different reels. Land five Aphrodite Wilds across the reel and you win the largest single line prize in the game of 500 coins (although you will likely trigger multiple pay lines given that these symbols are stacked).

Free Spins features

A rather startled looking Pegasus (who for some reason has also been turned pink from his traditional white) is the in game Scatter symbol and you need to land three to five of these across the reels to unlock Free Spins. Three gives you 7 Free Spins, four unlocks 11 Free Spins and five gives you the maximum 21 Free Spins.

You can also re-trigger the Free Spins bonus by landing three or more of the Scatters during the Free Spins bonus game which is a nice touch.

However be aware that the Free Spins bonus is somewhat volatile and although you can win a considerable amount in this bonus feature, you can also win very small amounts that are not even more than 2x your total bet, so this bonus is somewhat volatile.

Other bonus features

The other bonus feature to look out for on the Aphrodite slot is the Cupid's Multiplier Bonus and this can appear on any spin in the game. When Cupid appears he will fire an arrow and it will then reveal a multiplier of up to 5x the standard amount of any wins on that spin. Obviously this can increase the value of your wins markedly, especially if it triggers on a bigger win (though to be fair, it tends to trigger only on the lower to medium value spins).

Best feature of the Mighty Aphrodite slot

Although the Free Spins bonus round is a great addition to the Mighty Aphrodite slot, I feel the best feature of the slot is those stacked Aphrodite Wilds in the base game. These can land you some valuable extra wins as well as some of the biggest value wins in the base game and they tend to land relatively frequently too. The fact that they are stacked also means that on occasion you can unlock additional wins on other lines too, which is an added bonus.

What does the Mighty Aphrodite slot lack?

For me it isn't an issue of what the Mighty Aphrodite slot lacks, but more of a case of what it could have done a little better. I felt that the portrayal of Aphrodite in a push-up bra and hold up stockings was a little tasteless to be truthful and the lower value base game wins are a nuisance, but when you hit a sizeable win, you do see why that is to be fair. All in all, there's just a couple of niggles with this slot but not enough to stop you enjoying playing it.

Conclusion

There's a few small niggles with the Mighty Aphrodite slot, particularly in terms of the size of the wins in the base game, but overall this is a very good slot and has plenty to keep you entertained while you play. Those small base game wins can become a nuisance but if you have patience and play for long enough you tend to hit a big win at some point to level things out. With some clever bonuses, nice presentation and a chance to win some truly large sums in Free Spins, this is a game that you will certainly keep coming back to play time and time again.

Ratings

• Presentation: 14 / 20 - OK, let's begin by saying that if you don't like pink, then you are going to be somewhat bedeviled by what the Mighty Aphrodite slot has to offer. I kind of get where Rival Gaming went with this, with her being the goddess of love among other things, but the slot is somewhat overloaded with different shades of pink. The musical accompaniment though I think is excellent and mystical-sounding, while the graphics on the slot are nicely done on a Greek theme. All in all, it's not bad and if you like pink, you'll love this.
• Game-play: 16 / 20 - The game play on the Mighty Aphrodite slot is excellent. The base game features a number of different things to aim for and the stacked Mighty Aphrodite Wild symbol means that you are never too far from a win. Wins are a nice mix of amounts too with the very small wins balanced out by some much larger base game wins and of course, you are always on the lookout to trigger Free Spins. This is a fun slot to play and I think it offers a great balance of risk and reward. Just a heads up to smaller stakes players, the default option is 10 coins per line (2.50 per spin), but you can revise this downwards to one coin per line if you prefer.
• Bonus Features: 14 / 20 - The bonus features on the Mighty Aphrodite slot are not particularly ground-breaking but once again, Rival have used them well within the overall structure and the end result is a pleasing game. The Free Spins bonus is the main goal here and it can result in some big wins, but the Stacked Aphrodite Wild is another great way to land some bigger value base game wins while the occasional multiplier applied by the Cupid Bonus is also very welcome at times, though perhaps would be better if it triggered a little more frequently.
• Entertainment Factor: 15 / 20 - I have to say that I did enjoy playing the Mighty Aphrodite slot a great deal and the different bonus features all combined well around the base game to make for an enjoyable few sessions. I felt this was a slot I would come back to and play again when I had chance too, which is always a good sign. The lower value wins are a pain at times but if you are patient you can often land bigger value wins to level things up. Overall, this is a fun slot to play although why Aphrodite had to be in a state of undress in stockings and a push-up bra is beyond me.
• Play Value: 12 / 20 - For me, this is the one area of the Mighty Aphrodite slot which perhaps lets itself down a little. Too many of the base game wins, even when you land multiple wins on several lines, often result in a win that is less than what you bet and that does mean that your balance can take a pounding unless you are playing at a level you can comfortably afford. It is worth doing so as if you persevere, those big wins in the slot can make playing it worthwhile.
• Overall 71 / 100 - I have to admit to being very impressed with Rival Gaming's latest offering. Mighty Aphrodite does have a few stickler points which detract a little from the game, but when you way them up against the positives, you are left with a very enjoyable, playable and fun slot to play that has some massive rewards available if you are lucky enough to hit them. This is a slot you'll try and then come back to play time and time again and that is always the sign of a well-made slot.
