Age of the Gods Review

Age of the Gods Reviewed by Casinogamesonnet.com

Age of the Gods is a five-reel, 20-line slot from Playtech. As the name implies, it revolves around Greek mythology.

Age of the Gods’ theme is definitely lacking originality. We’ll discuss if it separates itself from the pack in any way.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

The atmosphere in Age of the Gods isn’t very good. The reels dominate the vast majority of the screen. You can see a small version of Mount Olympus on the left-hand side. But most of the remaining background is taken up by a dark-blue sky.

The symbols are certainly better than the background. However, they’re nothing amazing from a visual standpoint. Symbols include a wild, game logo (scatter), Aphrodite, Hades, Hera, Hercules, Poseidon, Zeus, a helmet, and generic letters.

The wild icon offers the largest payout at 10,000x your stake. It also substitutes for everything except for the Age of Gods logo to form wins.

You can change your bet size from €0.20 to €40 per spin. You can also use autoplay to keep the reels spinning automatically for between 10 and 99 spins. Turbo play allows you to speed up how quickly the reels finish spinning. The Age of the Gods RTP is 95.02%, which is below average.

Age of the Gods Features

You trigger 9 free spins by landing three or more game logos anywhere on the reels. You’ll also receive scatter payouts worth 3x, 10x, or 100x your total stake.

After triggering the bonus, you’ll be taken to a screen where 20 bronze coins are on the game screen. You select these coins until finding three matching gods. Here are the available options:

Athena Free Spins

Offers a random multiplier worth between 2x and 5x on all wins.

Hercules Free Spins

Features a Hercules stacked wild symbol.

Poseidon Free Spins

Poseidon shoots lightning from his trident to turn up to five icons into random wilds.

Zeus Free Spins

You begin with a 1x multiplier on wins. This multiplier increases 1x after every three spins. You also receive a sticky wild in the center position of the reels.

In addition to these features, Age of the Gods also offers four progressive jackpots. The Ultimate Power Jackpot, the largest of these prizes, is worth $487,455 at the time of this review.

Final Thoughts

Game developers take on a difficult task when they make a Greek mythology slot. Therefore, they have to create something truly special to differentiate themselves. Playtech has done a poor job of this with Age of the Gods.

This slot comes off as a generic take on Greek gods. The background isn’t anything to look at, and the symbols are merely above average.

The different types of free spins and jackpots do offer some redeeming qualities. Even still, you’ll probably only like this game if you really appreciate Greek mythology or are a Playtech fan.
