Age of the Gods Slot
The Age of the Gods is upon us! That's right, we are talking about the new series of games by Playtech software which focus on the theme of Ancient Greek mythology. With 5 reels and 20 paylines, this flagship slot machine from the new game franchise gives players a visually stunning overview of what's to come in other titles such as Furious 4 and King of Olympus.
This game is also well stocked with a variety of exciting bonus games which take after the various gods and demi-gods of the Ancient Greek Pantheon.
An Epic Greek Drama
Greek mythology is probably the best type of mythology in our opinion. We mean, it's all a bit like a television soap opera, but in epic proportions. There is treachery, deceit, and all sorts of hank-panky going on up there on Mount Olympus – just like your favourite prime-time drama. However, the immortal characters of this drama do happen to have almighty powers and an ability to control the elements and determine the fates of mortal humankind. You don't see Dot Cotton doing that on The Square in EastEnders, do you?
Age of Gods taps into this powerful narrative of heavenly power to present players with a spectacularly designed slot machine game. Upon the electric blue reels that are framed in gilded gold, spinners will come across a series of famous figures from the Pantheon of Greek myth, such as the demi-god Hercules who was born with superhuman strength as well as Hades, the guardian of the underworld and Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty. Those guys are just secondary characters to the real head honchos, however. That is because the slot machine also features characters such as Poseidon, the god and ruler of the sea, Athena, the fierce goddess of war, and, of course, Mr. Zeus, the god of all gods who ruled over the world from the sky with his mighty lightning bolt.
Conclusion
Age of the Gods has plenty of charm, high volatility, and an average RTP. That all works in its favour, though it is a little over-simple in its gameplay and lacks the atmosphere that a more rigorous set of sounds and animations would make.
Overall this one gets a mild recommendation from us, though we can easily imagine that for the right player it could be a niche favourite.
