Age of the Gods: Furious 4 Slot Review

Playtech’s Age of the Gods slot series continues with Furious 4. This time, the game harnesses the power of four different gods and Goddesses - Hephaestus, Apollo, Pandora, and Atlas  - who represent elements or characteristics - Fire, Light, Curiosity and Endurance respectively. Those aren’t the only important elements, with freezing wilds, expanding wilds, free spins, multipliers, and four progressive jackpots up for grabs!

You play on a five-reel, three-row grid with 20 adjustable paylines.

Spin the reels from 0.25 coins up to 500 coins, using the ‘+’ and m ‘-’ buttons to adjust your bet. Then hit ‘Spin’ or ‘Auto’ to play a selected number of spins with no interruptions. In some jurisdictions. ‘Turbo’ may also be an option to spin and stop the reels much faster.  You can track your wins, total bets and balance. 

The lower paying symbols are the traditional 9-A and will pay out between 100 and 250 coins. The Gods also have coin values - Atlas is worth 750 coins, Hephaestus 1,000, Pandora 1,500, and Apollo is worth 2,000 coins.

The Wild here is a golden ‘4’ symbol that substitutes for all others apart from the scatter symbol to help you create more winning combinations. 

Landing three or more Golden Throne Scatters anywhere on the reels will grant you 12 free spins and 5, 25, or 200x your stake, depending on how many you land. 

You will also activate a choice of free games, as described below. 

Don’t forget, all titles in the Age of The Gods series include four potential progressive jackpots, which can be triggered randomly at any time. 

The slot gives you a choice of free games, one to reflect each God, as well as the four progressive jackpots common to all AOTG’s titles.

12 free games with reel three stacked with gods covering the entire reel. Choose one of the following features:

As you may now be aware from playing other AOTG titles, the AOTG jackpot can be activated at any time. A new screen will show a temple filled with gold coins and, alongside, four jackpots as follows: power, extra power, super power and ultimate power.

Just click on the coins until you match any three to win one of the four jackpots!

The backdrop changes from a clear blue sky to a magical pink and purple, while the reels themselves are framed in gold. Each of the symbols is attractively rendered, and the animations are a nice touch. For example, Apollo prepares to fire his bow, Pandora opens the famous box and  Hephaestus brings his hammer down into the fire.

Classical, slightly mysterious music plays in the background to complement the attractive visuals. 

Fans of the Age of The Gods series will not be disappointed by Furious 4. The RTP is lower than some of the other titles in the series, but still perfectly respectable. The control over the paylines and bets and the simple layout means you don’t have to have played the other AOTG games to enjoy this instalment. With a choice of bonus rounds, plus four progressive jackpots up for grabs, Furious Four could very well be your lucky number.
