Casino Review – Age of Gods: God of Storms
Age of the Gods: God of Storms from Playtech is one of the most popular slot games due to its excellent theming and exciting bonus features that include four progressive jackpots.
This much-loved Age of the Gods series has captured the imagination of slot players everywhere, and God of Storms doesn’t disappoint.
Continuing the ancient Greek mythology theme, which is featured throughout the series, Age of the Gods: God of Storms is based on the divine keeper of the winds, Aeolus.
The backdrop of the slot game is the harbour in the ancient city of Aeolia with Greek temples, a fortress and there are lavish sound effects as you play.
The game follows a standard slot set-up with five reels and three rows. Players have up to 25 pay lines so there’s plenty of opportunities to win. Winning combinations are landed by matching three, four or five symbols or wilds from left to right on a pay line, starting from reel one.
The marble-styled reels have appropriately themed symbols, as you would expect, including ancient vases, a kraken-style sea monster (Hydra), an archer, a female warrior (Artemis) and a Spartan-style soldier, which is the highest paying symbol.
Age of Gods: God of Storms Bonus Features
Age of the Gods: God of Storms has two thrilling bonus features: the Wild Wind Respins feature and the Progressive Jackpots.
The Wild Wind Respins feature triggers when you land the stacked Argo ship symbol across all three rows. This symbol can only appear in reels two, three and four but when it does, it triggers the God of Storms to appear. He blows the ship, triggering a free spin and an increasing multiplier every time it moves across the reels from right to left.
Ideally you want the stacked Argo ship to land in reel four, so it has the most distance to travel, and the most multipliers to collect, before it drops off reel one. Multiple stacked wilds are also possible which can prolong the free spins and pay out impressive cash wins.
The second feature of the God of Storms, and arguably the main draw of the game, is the chance to land one of four large progressive jackpots.
The jackpot feature can trigger at random on any paid spin and gives you a selection of gold coins from which to choose. Behind each coin lies an icon for one of the progressive jackpots – Power, Extra Power, Super Power or Ultimate Power. Keep picking until you match three symbols, and you win the relevant jackpot prize.
The jackpot totals for each progressive are shown at the top of the screen as you play.
Age of the Gods: God of Storms – Verdict
This is a really fun, exciting game to play and has an RTP (return to player) of 96.14%.
The Wild Wind Respins feature triggers frequently and can deliver some decent wins. Add to that the constant thrill that you may randomly trigger a progressive jackpot and you can see why the game is so popular.
When you get a Starburst Wild, it expands to give you a locked Wild reel and a free spin. If you get another wild, you’ll get a second wild reel and another free spin.
If you’re really lucky, you’ll get another wild, giving you a free spin with three full wild reels in the middle. This is where the big wins can be made.
The real beauty of this bonus feature is that it happens frequently, so although the wins might not always be big, the game keeps you engaged and entertained.
