Playtech hasn't become one of the biggest developers in the online casino world by creating poorly designed slots. This latest offering is typically well produced - set against a Greek cityscape, the reels are flanked by marble pillars and include clubs and a magic belt alongside golden apples and the three-headed dog Cerberus. The action plays out to a suitably sweeping backing track that matches the epic theme.
The first feature we'll look at is the Herculean Strength feature - these are triggered when the wild Hercules symbol lands on the middle of reel 3. Hercules will expand to fill the whole of the reel and you'll be awarded 2 re-spins with the stacked wild locked in place.
Even better is if you land the Hercules wild on reels 2, 3 and 4 - they too will expand to fill all 3 reels to create 1 giant, 9 symbol wild. This will be locked in place for a single respin which can deliver some mighty results.
Land the sea monster bonus symbol on reels 1 and 5 to trigger the Hydra Bonus feature. Our hero goes into battle against the multi-headed sea creature firing arrows at the monster's head to win cash prizes. If you manage to slash the Hydra, you'll also be in line for a multiplier prize up to 5x. Look out too for the Hercules Rage feature which is triggered at random and destroys all of the Hydra heads.
Age of the Gods Prince of Olympus also comes with a Free Games feature which is activated when you land 3 or more of the Hercules logo scatter anywhere on the reels. Here you'll be awarded 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier that sees all payouts trebled. Hope to see those scatters again as more free spins are available (up to 20 possible). You can't trigger the Hydra Bonus feature from the free spins but the Herculean Strength wilds are most definitely in play here.
There's also a progressive jackpot element to this ancient adventure - it's triggered at random and will send you to a new screen where you'll be presented with a selection of 20 coins. Keep picking until you find 3 the same. You'll then be awarded the relevant jackpot prize. There are 4 of them in all offering different sized pay days ranging from a nice little boost to massive sums of cash. Once the jackpot round is triggered, you're guaranteed to win 1 of the progressives.
There's much to like in Age of the Gods Prince of Olympus - it looks and sounds terrific and comes with a nice range of features. If you like the theme, then you'll definitely want to join Hercules on this ancient adventure. If you think the game looks familiar, it’s a re-skin of The Incredible Hulk game from the Marvel series. I also recommend you try Age of the Gods Furious 4 which encompasses 4 gods.
