Slot Summary

Alchymedes answers a narrow design gap: a slot where decisions arrive between completed levels rather than through a conventional free-spins trigger. Yggdrasil Gaming makes every winning position count toward clearing the current level, then asks whether the next one should favor stronger multipliers or larger spreading Wild Symbol patterns. Its 96.1% RTP and medium volatility sit behind a system offering more than 15,000 patterns and multipliers reaching x100.
MechanicsComplete positions, then choose wilds or multipliers

How It Plays

Each line win marks the positions involved, and those marks remain until every space has been covered. The final winning spin receives the multiplier accumulated during that level.

After completion, the Alchemist's Scales present a choice between the green Wild Symbol side and the red Multiplier side. That decision changes the emphasis of the following level.

Theme & Atmosphere

Science, Magic, and Mystic ideas meet in Alchymedes through an alchemist's laboratory where potions govern the Wild Symbol and Multiplier systems rather than serving as detached decoration.

The Darkness tag gives the laboratory a secretive tone, but the core reference remains playful alchemy: formulas, scales, and experiments translate directly into the player's between-level choice.

Features & Win Potential

A Wild Symbol spreads according to the pattern assigned to the current level. Yggdrasil reports more than 15,000 possible patterns, making its coverage the variable to watch.

The Multiplier rises during a level and applies to the win that completes it. Choosing the multiplier side of the scales increases that feature's potential in the next stage.

Bankroll survival simulator

How long could a bankroll last on Alchymedes? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

Volatility tier: Medium

Running simulation…
How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.10%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.

Questions & Answers

Alchymedes FAQ

3 questions

Winning lines mark symbol positions. Once every position has been covered, the level ends, its accumulated multiplier is applied, and the next level begins.

At the level boundary, the scales let the player favor either a larger spreading Wild Symbol pattern or greater multiplier potential for the next level.

The official description emphasizes levels, spreading Wild Symbol patterns, multipliers, and random level-opening rewards rather than a conventional Free Spins round.
