Play Age of the Gods: Furious 4 for Free

When you think of Greek Mythology, a number of different names might pop spring to mind: Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Hera and Athena to name a few. But, the great thing about the Greek Pantheon is that is expands to a wide range of deities, including gods and demi-gods with all sorts of interesting stories and specialities.

This slot machine by Playtech gives spinners to chance to meet some of the lesser known characters from the stories with a variety of impressively designed symbols upon the enigmatically night-sky reels. There is one character depicting Atlas, for example, a titan god who was condemned by Zeus to hold up the heavens above the earth for eternity. Then there is Pandora, the first mortal human created by the gods, who fatefully opened a box to release evils unto the world of humankind. Other symbols in the game include Hephaestus, a deformed deity who acts as the god of fire, work, and craftsmanship as well as Apollo, the patron of music, art, archery, medicine and light.

All four characters hold the key to a series of special bonus games in which players can benefit from some exciting wild symbols. But first, players must find three scattered throne symbols in any position on the reels to trigger 12 free spins. During those free games, spinners must find any of the four characters covering the entire third reel to benefit from one of the following features:

There are 20 paylines available to play with in this slot machine by Playtech, but players can opt to play with fewer lines if they wish to lower the value of their total bet. However, even if you do want to play with the maximum payline capacity, you can still keep the wagers low with bets that start from as little as 0.01 per payline. On the flip side, high-rollers can go for some mythological spins with maximum line bets worth 25 credits for a maximum overall stake of 500.

Players should also note that it is worth playing with higher total bets since the game's scatter icon – the golden throne – will multiply total bets by up to 200x whenever three or more appear on the reel regardless of position. All of the other symbols, however, need to line up on paylines from right to left to award the following line bet multipliers:

So, if you do the maths then you will work out that this game has a standard play jackpot of 250,000 credits – which is pretty epic in out books. However, the game also boasts four different progressive jackpots which can be won in the randomly activated pick 'em bonus game.

Age of Gold: Furious 4 is a worthy addition to Playtech software's new series of legendary Greek slot machines. The merit of the game is evident in the high quality of the design and the depth of variety when it comes to the bonus features. However, Greek mythology buffs might also find this game to be particularly interesting since it features a number of more obscure characters other than the usual poster boys and poster girls of Mount Olympus.
