Stash Of The Titans Pokie
Greek mythology is the theme followed by Stash of the Titans, with cartoon style characters from various tales of ancient times liberally thrown into the mix across the 5 reels and 20 paylines of this Microgamingpokie.
While it may be quite stylish, it’s also blessed with a couple of nice bonus features, with a free spins round that has multiplier payouts, alongside wild substitutions that can multiply winnings even more and scatter wins. The majority of the action takes place in standard play mode, but it’s a game filled with images from ancient Greece that give it a distinctive appearance that should attract lots of people who like the fun style.
Surrounding the reels we see an image of temples and Mount Olympus, while the sides of them are held up by Grecian columns that double up as the payline indicators. The control buttons are contained in Greek urns and the coin values are displayed inside a little picture of a temple, so the theme is pretty clear as soon as anyone claps their eyes on this game for the first time.
Coins can be valued from just 0.01 up to 0.20, while anything from 1 to 10 coins can be staked per line and any number of lines activated. This all adds up to minimum stakes of 0.01 and a maximum of 40.00, which should suit the vast majority of players.
Unlike many pokies that use playing card symbols for the lower values, this one has everything connected to the theme of mythological characters, and there’s lots of them, starting with a half pig-half goat thing that Google says could be a Catoblepas, Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guards Hades, a Centaur, a Griffin and an ogre among the collection.
Big wins come with symbols of the temple, a three-headed snake, the treasure chest and a picture of heroic Perseus flying around on the winged horse Pegasus. If the treasure chest and Perseus appear on a line, they can make up a mixed combination which gives players an extra win.

Extra Features
The Stash of the Titans logo symbol is a wild, which will act as any other apart from the scatter, if it can make a winning line by doing so. It’s also got the unique benefit of multiplying the value of a win several times over, depending on how many wilds helped out.
If it was a single wild then the base value is doubled, if 2 wilds helped, then it’s 4x, 3 wilds helping to create a winning combination will pay 6x the amount that players would have received with the other symbol and 4 wilds equals an 8x multiplier.
Medusa was a snake-haired woman so ugly she could turn people to stone with just one look, but in Stash of the Titans she’s transformed into a beautiful creature, although the snake hairdo is still there and could be a bit off-putting.
As she’s a scatter symbol, there’s no need for her to land across an active line for a win, and just 2 anywhere on the reels will pay 2x the total bet, while 3 is worth 5x, 4 scatters pays 20x and if 5 appear at once, players win 50x their stake back.
Any 3 or more will also trigger 15 free spins and should any wins be landed during them the base value will be multiplied by 4x. Unfortunately, the free spins can’t be re-triggered from within the round, so players will just have to wait until they land 3 or more of the scatters again.
The Verdict
A set of reels filled with fun cartoons of various strange creatures gives Stash of the Titans an immediate visual punch. It’s certainly one of the more eye-catching pokies on the market and many players will like the fact that all symbols are connected to the theme.
There’s a couple of nice bonuses as well, with the wild multipliers that differ from those in other games by paying out at different rates depending on how many wilds created the winning line, while the free spins bonus round awards a decent number of spins with a nice multiplier.
It’s a shame the reels are standard during the free spins, as having a richer mix of symbols to help make more winning spins would enhance this round, but most players should pick up a couple of wins at least, so it’s not bad.
