Six mighty Greek gods dominate the reels while the four displays for the jackpots tower on top of the grid. Reels sounds are the prominent audio with an acoustic slow piece being mixed in.

The slot logo acts as the scatters, paying 3x, 10x and 100x your total stake for three, four or five respectively.

Age of the Gods Slot Features

Combining so many powerful deities from Greek mythology into one slot is quite a challenge as you will need to get some sort of feature for each of them. Playtech did a pretty good job, starting with the Pantheon of Power in the base game. Land the five gods – Aphrodite, Hades, Poseidon, Zeus and Athena – in any order on a pay line and you’ll pocket a small balance booster of 10 times your stake.

It gets more intense in the bonus features of which there are four of them on this slot. You will need to hit three or more scatters anywhere on the reels in one spin to activate the Age of the Gods Bonus. A wall with 20 Age of the Gods coins appears, allowing you to pick until you reveal three matching god icons that will determine then which round you play. None of the features can be retriggered.

• Athena Free Spins: Triggers 9 Athena free spins. Before each free spin, Athena grants you a random multiplier between x2 and x5 for the next free spin.
• Zeus Free Spins: Triggers 9 Zeus free spins. You will start with an x1 multiplier with Zeus increasing it by x1 after every third free spin. A wild symbol is placed in the centre of reel three and will stay locked for the duration of the feature.
• Poseidon Free Spins: Triggers 9 Poseidon free spins. Lightning shoots from Poseidon’s trident and randomly turns up to five positions into wilds for each free spin.
• Hercules Free Spins: Triggers 9 Hercules free spins. Hercules is a stacked sticky wild on the middle reel and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter.

The Jackpot bonus game can be triggered on any paid spin in the base game. The higher the bet, the higher your chance to enter the bonus game, with a guaranteed win of one of the four progressive jackpots – Power with minimum 50 credits, Extra Power with minimum 500 credits, Super Power with minimum 5,000 credits, and Ultimate Power with minimum 100,000 credits. The 20 reel positions are covered by gold coins and the aim is to pick coins until three matching jackpot symbols are revealed.
