Elysium Studios launches Greek mythology slot Odyssey Hold & Win
Swintt’s Elysium Studios launches Odyssey Hold & Win, a Greek mythology slot built on an expanding 4×4 to 4×8 grid with five character-driven modifiers and a maximum win of 3,317x.
Elysium Studios has released Odyssey Hold & Win through Swintt, a Greek mythology-themed slot built on a 4×4 board that expands to 4×8 during play. The title draws on five characters from Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus, Athena, Calypso, Poseidon, and Circe, each attached to a distinct cash-collection or grid-expansion mechanic across the base game and Free Spins round, with a stated maximum win of 3,317x the stake.
A 4×4 grid that grows with divine intervention
The expansion is triggered by the appearance of Athena, one of four mythological characters, alongside Odysseus, Calypso, Poseidon, and Circe, whose individual mechanics drive the game’s feature set.
The core Hold & Win mechanic awards an instant prize equal to the combined total of all cash symbols on the reels whenever Odysseus appears. Three Athena symbols expand the board, mirror all existing cash values, and award three respins; each additional cash symbol that lands during the feature resets the counter, giving players the opportunity to fill the expanded grid progressively. Calypso adds cash symbols as she moves across the board.
These modifier effects are also available during the main Free Spins feature, which requires three Free Spins symbols to trigger and awards ten spins with all cash symbols remaining locked until collection.
Free Spins modifiers and maximum win potential
Within the Free Spins round, Poseidon absorbs the values of all active cash symbols and consolidates them into a single higher-value icon, while Circe adds a random number of cash symbols to the reels. A single Athena symbol during Free Spins expands the grid for the remainder of the feature and adds three spins to the count.
Calypso retains her cash-symbol and respin functions without drawing from the player’s remaining Free Spins allocation. The game’s stated maximum win stands at 3,317x the stake.
Operator positioning and market context
Greek mythology-themed slots represent one of the most established content categories in the European online casino market, with titles built around figures such as Zeus, Poseidon, and Odysseus appearing consistently across supplier catalogues for more than a decade.
The segment’s longevity reflects reliable player recognition rather than novelty, which places the competitive emphasis on mechanical differentiation, in this case the layered modifier system across both the base game and the Free Spins round.
Swintt’s Chief Commercial Officer, Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, said: ‘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.’
