Rise of Orpheus Overview
Rise of Orpheus is the July 2025 release from Play'n GO that retells the Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice on a 5x4 grid with 20 fixed paylines. It is high volatility with a default RTP of 96.2%, max win sits at 3,000x and bets run from 0.05 up to 100.
Mate, the vibe is properly moody. You play in this glowing green cavern with lava dripping from the ceiling and a shackled statue staring at you. It is not a flashy bonus-buy frenzy, more a cinematic, story-led slot. Decent fit for a relaxed evening if you fancy something atmospheric over chaotic.
Symbols and Paytable
Card royals (diamonds, clubs, spades, hearts) sit at the bottom, paying around 1.6x to 2x for five of a kind. Premiums are pomegranates, a helmet, a snake, and the Persephone and Hades character symbols, awarding between 4x and 10x for a full line. The wild substitutes for everything except the Cerberus scatter and pays up to 14x.
Orpheus and Eurydice are the special wilds that drive the action, while Cerberus is the three-headed scatter. Wins form left to right starting on reel 1, fairly standard stuff.

Bonus Features
The Reunion Feature kicks off when Orpheus and Eurydice both land. Orpheus walks across the grid towards her, dropping wilds along the way, and when they meet they merge into a combined wild that keeps her multiplier. Eurydice's Blessing gives a global x2 multiplier in the base game, and grows by +1 each time she lands during free spins.
Two scatters trigger Wrath of Cerberus, locking those reels and giving you a respin for the third. Three scatters drop you into Underworld Escape Free Spins with 6 spins across four levels. Orpheus is sticky, shifts a step left each spin, and reaching the leftmost reel bumps you up a level for +2 spins.
On level 4 both characters stay on screen, which is the proper finale. The Wild Meter tracks reunion wilds (6, 8, 10, then 12 to fill) and each fill adds an extra spin, capping at 20. Honestly, it is tense in a good way, even when wins are small.
Bonus Buy Options
Triggers when Orpheus and Eurydice both appear; Orpheus walks to Eurydice leaving wilds behind, then they merge into a wild Reunion symbol carrying her multiplier.
Eurydice grants a global x2 multiplier in the base game; in free spins it starts at x2 and grows by +1 each time she lands.
Two scatters lock those reels and start a respin for a chance to land a third scatter and trigger free spins.
Underworld Escape Free Spins
Three scatters award 6 free spins across 4 progressive levels with sticky Orpheus, +2 spins per level and a sticky Eurydice on level 4.
Wilds created by the Reunion feature fill a meter (6, 8, 10, 12); each fill grants an extra free spin up to a maximum of 20.
RTP, Volatility and Max Win
Default RTP is 96.2%, with operator-configurable versions at 94.2%, 91.2% and 84.2%, so check before you spin. Volatility is rated 7 out of 10, sitting in the medium-high to high range. Max win is 3,000x your bet, which is fair enough but not exactly lifechanging for a high-vol slot.
I am not entirely sold on that 3,000x cap given how dramatic the theme is. Mythology slots offering 5,000x or higher feel a bit more rewarding for the patience this one asks of you.
