Age of the Gods Epic Troy slot machine overview

Let’s dive into history, do you remember when the Trojan War took place? The 15th to 17th centuries BC. Why would we mention that? Because our review takes a look at this historical event and helps you get immersed in the world of the exciting Age of Gods Epic Troy video slot.

How to get started playing Age of the Gods Epic Troy slot

Despite its 5×3 field size, this game can’t quite be considered a classic slot. That’s because it doesn’t have any paylines. Wins follow similar rules to Megaways, which means that symbols on adjacent reels may not touch each other with their sides or angles. It is very different from the classic Megaways scheme with a variable number of horizontals in that the playing field of Epic Troy slot has a fixed size.

 Combinations begin to line up with the first reel. The number of symbols in them must be at least three. In one round all paid combinations of symbols are counted.

The set of game images: the standard replacement symbol (wild), the scatter symbol (scatter) to trigger the freespins, 3 paying symbols to trigger the respins and 5 regular symbols.

Additional options:

• Automatic game, which can be stopped before freespins;
• Quick spin.

Unfortunately, there is no risk doubling game.

Betting spread found at Europa Casino: 0.40-100 EUR (USD). Epic Troy takes part in Playtech network jackpots.

The appearance of Epic Troy is unique. Drawing of the symbols is clear. Colours are rich and contrasting.  The 3 main characters are animated. The gameplay is accompanied by an impressive audio track, reminiscent of the music from the legendary Divine Fortune slot.

Wild, Scatter symbols: meaning

The set of symbols included in combinations is narrow: only 8 pieces. Among them: Helena, Paris, Achilles, a rowboat and four Greek letters.

The payout table is dynamic: winnings can change depending on the bet. The multipliers are not shown in their usual form. Examples of winnings at a bet of €1 per spin. Elena (the oldest base symbol and special character) pays 2.50-1.00-0.50 for 5, 4 and 3 respectively. For the 5 youngest symbols, payouts will not exceed 50 cents.

Special Symbols:

1. Scatter scatter symbol – a coin. Appears on any vertical. Paid from 3 when appearing in any part of the monitor. For 3 of these symbols pay mocking – 1 bet. For 4 – 10 bets. For 5 – 50 bets.
