Gameplay and Design
River of Styx is a pokie steeped in Greek Mythology. In this game, join Charon, the boatman, as he ferries souls across the river to their final resting place in exchange for coins and other riches — a haunting journey you can now experience playing free pokies online in Australia.
The symbols and game graphics represent images from the myth and include jewels, gems, lanterns, and character symbols. The highest paying symbols feature the Queen of Hell, a ring and an hourglass, while lower paying symbols feature multicoloured gems. The scatter symbol represents Charon’s ferry and triggers an exciting Free Spins bonus round if you land four or more.
The game board features a 5×6 grid and a cascading cluster pay mechanism slightly different from traditional pokies. Instead of rotating reels and paylines, the various game symbols tumble into place to create symbol clusters. Payouts are awarded for groups of 8-12 symbols. The larger the cluster, the higher the payout value.
With every spin, players can increase their bet by 25% with the Ante Bet feature. With this feature activated, you have a higher chance of landing scatter symbols and triggering the free spins round.
The gameplay is very straightforward. You can increase or decrease your bets using the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ buttons. Your bankroll, bet amounts, and winnings are clearly displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you want to turn off the ambient music or sound effects, you can do so in the game’s settings menu. It also has a handy battery-saver feature that you can turn on to preserve your device’s battery while you play.
