Play Mercy of the Gods for Free

After loading the game, our review experts of the Mercy of the Gods progressive slot were greeted by two fierce Anubis gods that are guarding the entrance to the ancient pyramid in the background of the semi-transparent game window.

It is heavily ornamented with the displays for the three jackpots on top. On the right is the collector for the jackpot bonus game coins. A mysterious soundtrack adds to the suspense on the reels.

There are eight regular pay symbols on the game, starting with the playing cards J to A at the low end. They are followed at the high level in ascending order of value by Tutankhamen, scarabs, Horus falcons, and the female explorer. The latter is the most valuable symbol with 80 times your stake for a five of a kind.

The wild symbol appears on all reels and substitutes for all other symbols except scatters and bonus symbols. Scatters are a tile with the Eye of Horus, while the bonus symbols are a golden heart-shaped icon.

Mercy of the Gods is a progressive video slot with five reels, three rows, and 20 fixed pay lines. Bet sizes range from 0.20 to 100 coins. The RTP of this medium to high variance game is set at a generous 96.64%, which will help to avoid quick busts.

Their extensive Autoplay function incorporated into NetEnt games lets you select 10 to 1,000 consecutive spins with a range of options when the run should stop.

Fans of Divine Fortune will know how this game mechanic works and that it can lead to seriously big wins in a single respin sequence. The feature is triggered when one or more wild symbols land on a spin. The reels respin after any potential win is paid.

The wild symbols turn into a walking wild, moving vertically down by one position on every respin until it disappears from the reels. Landing more wilds on a respin will extend the feature, which will only end when no more wild symbols are in view.

And it gets even better when a wild lands behind an existing wild. The Gift of Double Wilds feature will be activated, expanding the triggering wild to cover the entire reel. This reactivates the Gift of Life Respins, with the wild reel moving down by one row on every respin until it disappears from the screen.

As our review experts of the Mercy of the Gods slot machine discovered, the Gift of Double Wilds feature is triggered instantly when a wild appears on a free spin, providing more potential to score big wins.

Three, four, or five scatters anywhere on the reels in one spin will trigger 5, 8, or 12 free spins respectively, which cannot be retriggered. Landing wilds will see them expand immediately and activate the Gift of Life Respins mechanic.

Here’s to big money. The main attraction on the Mercy of the Gods slot are the three jackpots – Minor, Major, and Mega. The first two are fixed at 20x and 100x the total bet respectively. Nothing to get excited about, right? Well, how about a progressive then? The Mega Jackpot is a localized progressive jackpot that is pooled from all brands in a casino group. A percentage of each bet is contributing to the jackpot.

On Mercy of the Gods slot, our review team saw that the jackpots can be won in the Gift of Wealth bonus game only. It is triggered by collecting minimum three golden heart bonus symbols in a spin sequence that can include respins. A coin display in the bottom right corner indicates the amount of collected symbols.

Once the bonus game is triggered, the reels are cleared of all pay symbols. The collected coins are placed on random reel positions and three spins are awarded. If a bonus symbol lands on a spin, the game awards a coin win from 10x to 200x your stake and resets the number of spins to three. All bonus symbols are sticky for the duration of the feature. The aim is to fill one, two, and three rows with bonus symbols before the game ends.

Filling one, two, and three rows during the bonus game will award the Minor, Major, and Mega jackpot respectively. The Minor will pay 20x your bet, the Major awards 100x the bet, while the Mega jackpot awards the current balance of the progressive jackpot. All coin wins from the bonus game will go on top of any jackpot win.

Jackpots are a major attraction in the gaming community as they can produce truly life-changing wins. While the network-wide progressives go regularly past one and even 10 million credits, the localized jackpots pay out mostly high five-figure and low six-figure sums. Still something any avid slot player would love to win.

Our review team of the Mercy of the Gods slot recommends you try Cleopatra Mega Jackpots from IGT or the epic Mega Moolah from Microgaming.

NetEnt has done it again. Just like any other game provider, they do like to clone their successful slots. But the Mercy of the Gods online slot is not a simple clone, as our review team found out. It has a much more volatile setting than Divine Fortune and thus can have longer dry spells, but also bigger wins when it runs hot. Ready for your Egyptian reel expedition?
