Ancient Gods Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Ancient Gods is a 5 reel, 3 row online slot with up to 25 paylines based around ancient mythology, produced by Realtime Gaming. This title features a range of symbols based on eastern animal deities, with symbols including dragons, a phoenix, a tiger and a tortoise.

Watch out for the scatter amulet, which holds the key to the free spin bonus, with multipliers available in the free games if you trigger this with 4 or more scatter symbols.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The archaic Gods featured in Ancient Gods makes for this title to be a visually appealing game. The graphics are definitely cartoon inspired, which provides a very effective overall visual look. The symbols are all rendered in a clear manner and are all easy to distinguish from one another. The winning symbol animations are a treat to behold, as are the animations when the wild dragon crawls across the reels.

Music is a fairly standard cod-Eastern videogame theme. Sound effects are effective, if a little loud, with winning jingles helping to give the event a suitable sense of occasion.

Ancient Gods RTP and Variance

Ancient Gods has long term average RTP of 96%, which is bang on the typical for this type of game. The medium volatility makes for balanced gameplay, although you'll need to wait patiently for the big wins.

 
How to Play Ancient Gods

1. When playing a new game for the first time, it is always a good idea to turn your attention to the paytable. The paytable in online slots informs players of a range of details about the game, including winnings returned when winning combinations appear on the reels, how to access the bonus feature and the pattern of paylines. The paytable in Ancient Gods is accessed by clicking the 'i' button in the bottom left of the screen.
2. Set your bet by using the + or - buttons to cycle through the available bet options. Remember that changing the number of active paylines for each spin will also change the total bet per spin. If you are feeling lucky, the bet can be set to the maximum quickly by clicking the button on the right hand side of the bottom console which features stacks of coins. This button will maximise both the line bet and the number of active paylines.
3. Clicking the play button at the bottom of the screen provides you with the opportunity to speed up the reel animations to make each spin run quicker.
4. The blue circular button at the bottom right will spin the reels once.
5. To the right of the spin button is the autoplay button, clicking this allows you to spin 100 times or until a feature is entered. To stop autoplay, you simply click the spin button a second time.
6. It is important that you play Ancient Gods responsibly. The easiest way to do this is to give yourself a strict budget for each play session, and stick to it. When the fun stops, stop.
