Age of The Gods: Fate Sisters

This is probably one of the better Age of the Gods series slots and that has to be a good thing considering how many of the Age of the Gods series slots are poor imitations of the Marvel slots that were based on when Marvel slots were discontinued. We have just 25 lines with this slot and that is something that I like more than say 50 lines and I would say that 25 lines are about right for a slot of this kind. There are the jackpots that are part of the age of the gods series that are connected with this slot. Not only are there free spins if you get 3 or more scatters there is also another feature with this slot that is the sister’s gift if you get the correct order of sisters landing on reels 1, 3, and 5. You then get a respin and depending on how many sisters symbols you land will pay you accordingly. There is another thing about the features is that the free spin features have a choice of 3 different types of features, depending on which sister you choose to play with. Each one has unique spins such as Clotho’s Temple where you get randomly placed 3 wilds on each free spin, Atropos's Temple, 15 free spins with dynamic multipliers of 2x to 5x, and Lachesis's Temple, 10 free spins with Locking Wilds, where the wilds get locked for 3 spins. You can get more free spins if your sister appears on the middle reel which is always a good thing as more spins give you more chances to win more and who doesn’t like to win more. One other thing is that if you happen to get 5 wilds on a pay line you will get paid a big 10,000 x line bet however these can be so difficult to get that you will be lucky to get just 3 on a pay line. Four if you are very lucky.

What is there not to like about this game? Features tend to be on the lower side however they can be triggered quite often that I have found but still, the features could be better. Low RTP of only about 93%!

When I thought that Playtech may not do a replacement game for Iron Man 3, I was dead wrong! They came up with Age Of The Gods: Fate Sisters to replace it, for which I didn't know until I opened the game recently to try it out. Boy, was I surprised, but I'm glad in a way that Iron Man 3 has got a replacement game at last. I guess many fans would appreciate this as well. For me, I'm waiting for a replacement of my favourite Marvel game, Blade. Nothing so far, no news either, but I hope it'll be out before the end of 2016. I can do without all the rest of Marvel games, but not Blade.

Anyway, this Fate Sisters game plays and pays very closely as to the original Iron Man 3 game, and I'm happy for that. Nothing has been knowingly or observably changed, even the paytables remain identical. The Wild symbol pays 10,000x the line bet for 5 of them, it substitutes for other symbols except for the Scatter symbol, but is a dumb Wild symbol nonetheless. No doubling of wins, no stacking and no expanding. The Scatter symbol pays 100x the total bet for 5 of them, and getting 3 or more triggers The Fates' Portal Free Games, with 3 different games to choose from. The 3 Sisters symbols pay from 500x to 100x, and the rest pay from 90x to 20x, all per line bet for 5 of each kind. A low paytable, despite the good value for the Wild symbol.

In the base game only, getting the 3 Sisters in the right sequence on reels 1, 3 and 5 activates the Sisters' Gift Feature, whereby the Sisters symbols are locked and 1 Respin is awarded. Any new matching Sister symbols appearing during the respin get paid as Scatters. This feature can pay quite big if 4 or 5 of the same Sister symbols appear on the reels. I had a good win from this feature in Iron Man 3, but only mediocre wins from Fate Sisters so far. For the Free Spins game, the 3 choices are: Atropos's Temple, 15 free spins with Dynamic Multipliers of 2x up to 5x, Lachesis's Temple, 10 free spins with Locking Wilds, locked for 3 spins, and Lachesis appearing anywhere on reel 3 awards 3 more free spins, and finally Clotho's Temple, 8 free spins with 3 Wilds, randomly placed onto the reels in each free spin, and Clotho appearing anywhere on reel 3 awards 3 more free spins. All 3 games can pay big, but I tend to like Clotho's Temple game more.

Playing Fate Sisters was just like playing Iron Man 3. The payouts and the Free Spins games remain unchanged, as far as I could detect. The Sisters' Gift Feature paid nothing in one of the games, but all the other games paid something. This happens in Iron Man 3 games as well. Best of all, none of the Free Spins games paid nothing, typical of Playtech's standard, which I like very much, as compared to Microgaming games which could pay nothing on several occasions. On the whole, a very good replacement game, without straying away from the original game.
