Age of the Gods Norse Gods and Giants
If you're a fan of the Age of the Gods series then we have absolutely no doubt that you'll enjoy the highly volatile Age of the Gods Norse Gods and Giants. This 2020 release is a distant cousin of the world-renowned series of slots, that differs due to the fact it features a whole host of new mythical gods heralding from the time when Norse Vikings ruled both land and sea.
Design
This slot is a massive visual upgrade in comparison to the old Age of the Gods slots, the symbols are beautifully drawn portraits of Norse gods (that we think may be Odin and Thor) and the enemies they often come against. These include a serpent, a demon, and a very ugly looking troll. Low paying symbols are old Norse letters. Behind the reels is a beautiful frozen mountain landscape that sees snow gently fall.
In terms of how the game sounds, it's pretty much what you would expect from an action-packed mythical slot. A tense orchestral score plays throughout your gameplay, ramping up during bonus features to create a sense of excitement and urgency.
Gameplay
As is the case with all Age of the Gods slots, it's not at all difficult to navigate the game-screen. Players can change their total bet using the - and + buttons at the bottom of the screen and set up to a total of 100 autoplay spins on the other side.
To the left-hand side of the screen are the iconic Age of the Gods jackpot tickers, that climb in value as players collectively spin the reels of this slot. Here players can see how much they can win if they trigger the Ultimate, Extra, and Daily jackpots.
Win Potential
This slot is a bit of a double-edged sword, on one hand, it has a slightly below-average RTP of 94.49%, but boasts a huge maximum win potential of 50,000x your initial stake (under the right conditions). Not only that, but it also offers players the opportunity to win the iconic Age of the Gods progressive jackpot.
Our Verdict
Age of the Gods Norse Gods and Giants is a lot of fun, we can genuinely say we enjoyed playing this slot. It's modern, has great bonus features, and does everything we'd expect of a slot of this magnitude developed by Playtech. Our only disappointment with this slot is the RTP, but considering this slot features a progressive jackpot, it's quite understandable.
