9 Arrows Of Odysseus

9 Arrows Of Odysseus Overview

9 Arrows Of Odysseus is a five-reel slot from Yggdrasil with 20 paylines, an RTP of 94.00% and a published ceiling of 3,500x. It was released on 12 February 2025.

The 94.00% return needs flagging up front. It is low – several points below what most studios publish – and it is the single most important number on this page.

No volatility rating is published for this title, and we have not invented one. Every figure below was read from demo play at a 70.00 bet, in the demo’s euro units.

Homer, Not the Norsemen

The setting is the Aegean: a calm blue sea under a pale sky, with a marble temple pediment framing the top of the reels and gilded flames breaking over it.

The cast is Greek. The wild is a bearded figure with a trident, and alongside him the reels carry a one-eyed giant, a green sea serpent and a woman in blue – the Cyclops, the sea monster and the enchantress of the Odyssey, in that order of value.

Below them the low symbols are not playing-card ranks but Greek letters: lambda, psi, omega and sigma, rendered in coloured stone. It is a small touch and it does more for the theme than another set of neon As and Ks would have.

The Arrow Ladder Is the Game

A panel down the left edge lists seven rungs, numbered 3 to 9, and it is on screen for every spin. At the 70.00 bet it reads:

3 arrows – 70.00, 4 – 350.00, 5 – 1,050.00, 6 – 2,800.00, 7 – 7,000.00, 8 – 35,000.00, 9 – 140,000.00.

Converted, that is 1x, 5x, 15x, 40x, 100x, 500x and 2,000x.

Read the steps rather than the values and the design shows itself. From three arrows to four the prize multiplies by five; then by three; then by 2.67; then by 2.5. The ladder is flattening as you climb it.

And then it is not. From seven arrows to eight the prize multiplies by five again, and from eight to nine by four. The last two rungs are worth more than everything below them combined.

That is a deliberate shape. Six arrows is a good spin; seven is a very good one; eight is a different category of event entirely. The banner under the reels says as much in four words: MORE ARROWS BIGGER CASH PRIZES.

The arrows themselves are hard to miss: each one is a flaming spearhead set in a gold disc, noticeably larger than the symbols around it, so the count on any given spin can be read at a glance without consulting the panel.

The reels confirm the ladder exactly. One capture shows four flaming arrows on the grid, the 350.00 rung lit on the panel, and 350.00 in the win box. The printed value and the paid value are the same value.

The Wild Is the Best Symbol

The paytable holds a genuine surprise: the wild pays more than anything it substitutes for.

At the 70.00 bet five wilds return 8,750.00 – 125x – with 1,750.00 for four and 437.50 for three.

The best ordinary symbol, the sea serpent, pays 2,625.00 for five, which is 37.5x. So the wild is worth more than three times the best thing on the reels.

The wild is also marked rather than merely drawn: each one carries a WILD label with an arrowhead beside it, and one capture shows three of them on the grid at once, two sharing the bottom row. On a game where the wild is the top-paying symbol, that labelling earns its place.

Below the serpent the woman in blue pays 1,400.00 for five (20x) and the Cyclops 525.00 (7.5x). The four Greek letters run from 227.50 down to 70.00 for five – that is 3.25x at the top of the low block and 1x at the bottom.

There is also a combined entry: any mix of the three character symbols pays 227.50 for five, 70.00 for four and 35.00 for three. So a line of Cyclops, serpent and enchantress together is worth the same as a line of lambdas.

The Rules Are Printed Plainly

The paytable screen states its terms without hedging: payouts are multiplied by bet; a win is formed from consecutive symbols from left to right starting from the first reel; only the highest win pays per line.

That third line is the one that matters in practice. On a twenty-line game where several symbols share a price, overlapping wins on one line do not stack – the best of them is what you get.

The trigger banner also states the free-spins ceiling before you have triggered anything: WIN UP TO 30 FREE SPINS.

What the Reels Paid

The captured wins read 105.00, 105.00, 157.50, 175.00, 210.00, 227.50 and 350.00.

Against the 70.00 bet that is 1.5x, 1.5x, 2.25x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.25x and 5x.

Seven spins, and not one returned six times the bet. The largest of them – the 350.00 – is the four-arrow rung, which is the second-lowest thing on the ladder.

That is the honest picture of the base game. The arrow ladder reaches 2,000x, the wild line reaches 125x, and a normal run of spins sits between one and five times the stake.

What the Session Did

The balance runs 10,275.50, then 10,100.50, 8,046.00, 8,011.00, 6,852.00, 6,870.00 and 4,710.00 across the captures.

From first to last that is a fall of 5,565.50 – about eighty times the bet – over a sequence in which every single capture shows a winning spin.

That combination is worth sitting with. The screen is full of wins and the balance halves anyway, which is what a 94.00% return looks like when the wins are all in the one-to-five-times range.

Who Should Play It

9 Arrows Of Odysseus is for players who want a straightforward twenty-line game with one big collectable on top of it, and who like knowing the target before they spin. The arrow ladder is permanently on screen, the values are printed in cash rather than multipliers, and the reels pay exactly what the panel says.

The Greek-letter low symbols and the Homeric cast are a better-considered piece of theming than most, and the wild paying 125x is a genuinely unusual bit of design.

The reservations are the 94.00% return and a base game in which four of the nine symbols pay between 1x and 3.25x for a full line. Without arrows on the screen there is very little happening here.
