Hercules on Play8oy: How the Chains Add Extra Paylines
Two great pillars, a chain and a rising bar decide how many lines you are playing in Barcrest's Greek-hero slot.
Hercules on Play8oy is the game Barcrest released as Hercules High and Mighty. It's a Greek-hero slot with a mechanical twist: the number of active paylines changes as the game goes on.
Pillars, chains and the moving bar
Two huge pillars stand on either side of the reels. Each carries a chain, and the chains raise and lower a bar across the reel area. Where that bar sits decides how much of the field is open, and so how many paylines are active.
It's a visual way of showing what is usually a plain "lines" number, and it's easy to follow once you've watched a few spins.
How the Hercules field expands
As the field expands, the chains rise and bring in all the extra paylines. More open reel area means more lines crossing the symbols, and more ways a spin can pay.
This doesn't only happen in a bonus. When the Hercules symbol lands fully visible, the same expansion also happens in the base game. There may be more features on top of this, so check the help screens for the full list.
Playing Hercules on Play8oy
Keep an eye on the bet panel as the field changes. On games where lines are added mid-play, the paytable is worth a read so you know whether extra lines cost extra or come free with the feature.
As always, results are random. More paylines give more chances per spin but don't tilt the odds in your favour.
