Epic Mythology-Themed Release from Elysium Studios
Elysium Studios released Odyssey Hold & Win on July 23, 2026, in Malta, introducing a Greek mythology-inspired slot that combines expanding reels, divine modifiers, and max wins of up to 3,317x. The title draws direct inspiration from Homer’s legendary homecoming tale, integrating a recognizable cast of characters including Odysseus, Calypso, Poseidon, and Circe onto the game board.
The game operates on an initial 4×4 grid layout that can dynamically expand to a 4×8 configuration whenever the goddess Athena intervenes. This structural flexibility supports a feature-rich environment designed to provide operators with a fresh alternative for players seeking mythologically themed online casino content.
Mechanics and Divine Modifier Features
At the core of the gameplay is a Hold & Win mechanic, where cash symbols appearing on the reels are accumulated and awarded as instant prizes whenever Odysseus lands. Landing three Athena symbols triggers an expanded game board, mirrors existing cash values, and awards three respins where each new cash symbol resets the counter. Calypso further enhances sessions by moving across the board to add extra cash symbols.
The Free Spins feature activates upon landing three scatter symbols, awarding 10 spins with locked cash icons. During this bonus round, Poseidon can absorb cash symbol values into a combined icon, while Circe adds random cash symbols to heighten the potential for reaching the 3,317x jackpot. Furthermore, a single Athena symbol extends the grid duration and grants three extra spins, whereas Calypso introduces cash additions and respins without depleting remaining free spins.
Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, commented:
“The Odyssey is one of the most enduring tales of hardship, adventure and homecoming, making it the perfect inspiration for a slot that’s packed with memorable characters and exciting feature potential. With expanding reels, locked cash symbols, divine modifiers and wins of up to 3,317x, Odyssey Hold & Win is a fittingly epic addition to the Elysium Studios line-up and a title we believe will appeal strongly to operators looking to offer players a fresh take on Greek mythology.”
