Slot Features
The Age of the Gods Jackpot game shares the same pot as Playtech's Marvel slots. The Age of the Gods Jackpot is a multi-level progressive jackpot whose jackpot games are triggered randomly. Entering the jackpot game guarantees winning 1 of 4 jackpots: Power Jackpot, Extra Power Jackpot, Super Power Jackpot and Ultimate Power Jackpot, ranging from the smallest to the highest prize. The amounts of all 4 of them are displayed above the reels.
The jackpot game features a grid with 20 coins hiding different jackpot symbols. You will have to click on the coins to reveal symbols and, once you have uncovered 3 matching symbols, the corresponding jackpot will be awarded.
Herculean Strength
The Herculean Strength feature is available during both the base game and Free Games. It gets triggered when the wild symbol lands in the middle of reel 3 or anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 at the same time. When it lands in the middle of reel 3, the wild symbol will expand and 2 respins are awarded with reel 3 locked in place. When the wild symbol lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 simultaneously, the wild symbols expand across reels 2, 3 and 4 with 1 respin awarded.
Hydra Bonus
When the Hydra bonus symbol appears anywhere on reels 1 and 5 at the same time, the Hydra Bonus will be triggered. In this feature you will shoot arrows at 3 out of 7 Hydra Heads. Each hit reveals a cash prize which can be x1, x2, x3, x5 or x8 the total bet.
The new 3 Hydra Heads will appear after the first 3 prizes are awarded, and if you shoot 1 of them you will win a multiplier of either x2, x3 or x5. In addition, this feature contains a randomly triggered Hercules Rage feature which destroys all Hydra Heads and awards all 7 prizes.
Free Games
Hercules is the Scatter symbol, and if 3 or more of them land anywhere on the reels you will win 10 spins with x3 multiplier. Should additional 3 or more Scatters land on the reels during the feature, it will be retriggered and you will win another 10 spins. Herculean Strength can be won during this feature but Hydra Bonus cannot.
Summary
Age of the Gods: Prince of Olympus slot is a medium variance slot with amazing game mechanics, interesting features and spectacular spins. This jam-packed spinning action is one of the most interesting and rewarding Greek-themed slots out there, and is definitely worth your time.
This would have to be my most played Age of the God slots, ahead of Fate Sisters. It is based on the discontinued The Incredible Hulk. Instead of the Marvel theme here we have the Greek Mythology Gods. Instead of Hulk, we get Hercules in this 25 liner where you also get the ability to choose how many lines you wish to play per spin, something that is going extinct nowadays with many new slots having a fixed number of pay lines. There are several features that are good about this game, my favorite being the triple-expanding Hercules wilds but it is also very rare compared to the other features however it has the most potential for a big win. To trigger this you need the wilds to land on reels 2, 3, and 4. This will give you a re-spin and thus a chance for a big win depending on what symbols you get on reels 1 and 5. Best to get the triple-headed dog that pays the most by far. Another feature is the free spins where you need to get 3 Hercules scatters or more to trigger 10 free spins with a 3 x multiplier. You will find that 3 scatters pay 10x your bet just for the trigger which is more than most slots when it comes to 3 scatter triggers. And by the way, can trigger the Hydra feature inside of the free spins as well as the Hercules Re-spin feature when Hercules lands on the middle of reel 3. Speaking of Hydra, this is another feature that I like just behind the Triple Wild respins, in that the Hydra is triggered by getting a Hydra symbol on reel 1 and reel 5. Hercules will then battle against the Hydra for some prizes, selecting several heads in the first round for cash prizes and there is also the special selection that will award all the prizes. Then you get to select a hydra head that will be the multiplier 2x, 3x, or 5x.
Most spins will be dead spins or low returns and the game will tease many times especially for the Hydra bonus. The free spins rarely pay anything decent so your best chance for a big win is from the Hydra or the Triple Wild Respin. Hydra can pay up to 110x Bet while the triple wild respin can pay hundreds depending on what symbols you land on reels 1 and 5.
