Age of the Gods: Epic Troy

The Trojan War is making a comeback on a set of slot reels from Playtech. Age of the Gods: Epic Troy is the next addition to the immensely popular progressive jackpot series coming from the studios of the gaming giant. Featuring three key figures from the legendary Greek tale that led to the infamous war, it comes with three respin features and a free spins round that can lead to wins of up to 607.5x your bet in a single spin. Or better, you could trigger one of the four progressive jackpots with potentially life-changing payouts.

Slot Details

Age of the Gods: Epic Troy is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 243 ways to win. Pays are awarded for three to five matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right only. Enter the legendary battle for Troy on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 200 credits per spin. The game has medium to high volatility with an overall RTP of 96.45%, which includes the jackpot contribution of 0.99%.

Loading the game will take you deep into Greek mythology. The story of Paris of Troy who falls in love with Helen, the wife of the Spartan king Menelaus, and takes her to Troy. Enraged, the king gathers the largest ever army with over 1,000 ships led by Achilles to invade Troy and bring back his wife. It all fails until the Spartans come up with the idea of the Trojan Horse. The rest is history as they say.

As expected, Green Pantheons reminiscent of the heavily fortified city of Troy in full sunlight are in the background of the ornamented game window. Helen, Paris and Achilles are the dominant characters on the reels with the displays for the progressive jackpots towering above them. A mystical soundtrack adds to the suspenseful aura that is inherent to the tales of Troy, going into dramatic crescendos during the features.

The pay symbols start at the low end with Greek-inspired alphabet characters – Zeta, Omega, Beta and Alpha – and a Greek trireme, awarding 0.3x to 0.5x your bet for a single five of a kind. The premiums are Achilles, Paris and Helen with five across the reels yielding 1.25x to 2.5x your stake. All three character symbols can land stacked in full reel height.

A blazing icon marked with the word itself is the wild symbol, appearing on reels two, three and four only and performing the usual substitution duties. A coin depicting the fabled Trojan Horse acts as the scatter.

Age of the Gods: Epic Troy Slot Features

Prepare for a feature-rich gaming experience as you will be spinning under the auspices of the Greek gods. Playtech included three respin features and a free spins round to convey the intense events surrounding the legends of the Trojan War. Each of the three characters has been given its own respin feature.

• Helen Respin Bonus: Triggered when two or more fully stacked Helen symbols land anywhere in view. Three respins are awarded with the triggering symbols locked in place. Land more Helen symbols, which will become sticky too, to reset the counter to three until you run out of respins or fill the entire screen with Helen symbols. Wins are evaluated after the feature ends.
• Paris Respin Bonus: Triggered when two or more fully stacked Paris symbols land on any reels. Two respins are awarded with the triggering symbols locked in place. Land more Paris symbols during the respins with the aim to form at least a bloc of three stacked symbols. AAt the end of the feature, any 3, 4 or 5 fully stacked Paris symbols will form a Mega Reel which will spin once to award coins wins from 10x to 150x your bet.
• Achilles Respin Bonus: Triggered when two or more fully stacked Helen symbols land on any reels. A single respin is awarded with the triggering symbols locked in place. All Achilles symbols in view after the respin will turn into wild symbols before the win evaluation is done.

Hitting three, four or five Trojan Horse scatters will trigger 6 Free Spins, which can be retriggered. Plus, you will get a coin win of 1x, 10x and 50x your bet respectively. During the feature, rich reels are in play, meaning only scatter, wild, the three character and the ship symbols are present. Landing sufficient stacks of the character symbols will award the respective respin bonus.

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.

Final Verdict

Contrary to other slots in the Age of the Gods series, Epic Troy is a rather tame affair, which is rather disappointing considering the intense yearlong standoff during the Trojan War. The best you can score is 607.5x your bet when you will the entire screen with Helen symbols in her own Respin feature. Overall, that might surpass 1,000x bet in the free spins round but will be still far of the 8,650x that you can win on Age of the Gods: Mighty Midas. But then, the main reason to play these slots is chasing those coveted jackpots,
