Gameplay

Landing a bonus symbol on the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th reels will trigger the Labyrinth Chase Bonus feature. You will enter the labyrinth where the Minotaur and Theseus will roll the dice in turns and make their way round the trail.The squares will have prizes attached to them so if Theseus lands on one, he will collect the prize. The squares will then be upgraded to red or green which will then have higher prizes attached which can either be cash or multipliers.If Theseus catches Minotaur, you will be awarded with 5x of your wager as well as the multiplier value which can be worth up to x7,500 of your wager.Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols will give you 10, 15 or 20 bonus spins respectively. If a golden thread symbol appears on the reels during this feature the multiplier will increase by x1. Landing another 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols will give you an extra 3, 4 or 5 bonus spins.Theseus Rises is a fun game to play with good quality graphics and animations. I enjoyed the soundtrack it fitted in well with theme. I really enjoyed the Labyrinth Chase Bonus feature and the increasing multipliers.
