Age of the Gods

In Greek mythology, you’ll find stories that encapsulate the chaos and challenges of the universe through human nature. There were stories of passion and struggle, and there were actions that draw inspiration from love and respect. That’s the beauty of mythology and it’s one reason why it’s a popular theme in many slot games. The Age of the Gods by Playtech is a perfect example of this as it explores the pantheon of Greek deities. In this five-reel and 20 payline game, you’ll meet Athena, Hercules, Poseidon, and Zeus as they wield their power atop Mount Olympus.

The action happens in a three by five grid that’s set against the backdrop of the mythical mountain. Big wins can be awarded by the four gods but the divine wins can be yours upon entering the Special Pantheon of Power. Also, there are four Age of the Gods free spins with wilds and multipliers to complete your experience. There are a lot of features to discover in the Age of the Gods and you can start your exploration by checking its free demo version at GoodLuckMate.

How to play

The bet per line starts at 0.01 and moves up to 2.00. This is a fixed payline game so choosing to use maximum bet automatically sets it at 40 credits. With this betting range, you can easily adjust your playing strategy depending on the size of your bankroll.

As mentioned, the deities of Olympus are the primary symbols and they are joined by the wild and scatter symbols. Instant wins start to stream in when you land at least three identical symbols from left to right – except for the scatter.

There’s an option called Turbo Mode. Here, you can fast-track the spinning of the reels. It’s a nice touch for some players who want to instantly know the winning combo. However, we feel that it diminishes the excitement associated with playing a video slot game.

Symbols and payouts

The gods of Olympus – Athena, Zeus, Poseidon, Hercules, and Aphrodite – rule the reels and can offer you the payouts. To start collecting your wins, you need to line them up consecutively on an active payline, starting on the leftmost reel. Individually, Athena offers the biggest payouts with up to 1,000 times your line bet when landing five identical symbols. Zeus and Poseidon can promise up to 500 times your line bet when collecting the same number of symbols. Poseidon and Hercules, on the other hand, reward you with 300 times your line bet.

The reels also include low-paying symbols in the form of the Greek helmet and the standard suits from a deck of cards. For the helmet, you get 250x and the card suits can offer up to 150x your line bet.

Just like other Playtech slot games, the Age of the Gods slot employs wild and scatter symbols. The wild substitutes for other symbols and can pay an epic prize of up to 10,000 credits! There’s the scatter, too, which can appear anywhere and can unlock the Age of the Gods bonus round.

Age of the Gods bonus feature

Get ready to collect the rewards of the Olympian gods by landing at least three scatters anywhere on the reels. You’ll need to land at least three scatters anywhere on the reels to reveal this round. Here, 20 icons will appear and your task is to pick one to reveal your god. And if you match three, you can trigger the god’s free spins feature. Here’s a look at the different types of free spins.

You’ll find Athena Free Spins with nine Age of the Gods free spins and a random multiplier of up to x5. There’s Zeus Free Spins with nine bonus spins with x1 multiplier. Every three spins, the multiplier increases by one. Also, the wild symbol is locked in the middle and it can replace other symbols except the scatter. However, you can’t re-trigger the free spins. There’s also a free spins bonus in honor of Poseidon which awards you with nine free spins and the god may turn up to five symbols into wilds on the screen. You can re-trigger the free spins but your max payout is 10,000x. Finally, Hercules Free Spins offers nine free spins and he works as a stacked wild in the middle and substitutes for all symbols except for the scatter.

In this game, there’s a chance to play all these features. However, when Hades appears, the Age of the Gods bonus round ends.

RTP & volatility

This game comes with a medium-to-high variance, which works well for experienced players ready for a long slots-spinning session. Also, you can count on the Age of the Gods RTP of 95.02%, which is decent enough for most players. Theoretically, its RTP is 94.03% but with the addition of a jackpot that’s set at around 0.99%, the percentage moves up to 95.02%.
