Alter Gods - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

DLV has come away from their more traditional reel style and introduced a 40-payline slot in the form of Alter Gods. It’s a straightforward slot with a 5x3 layout and has a mix of number and picture symbols. With a vast betting range and a lot of bonus features on offer, we’re sure there’s plenty to offer players in Alter Gods.

Overall Theme

Alter Gods is one of the Ancient Egyptian slots that is based on everything to do with Egypt. The graphics are high-definition, which helps to bring the characters and animations to life. However, the symbols and background themselves are quite basic and feel dated for a modern slot.

RTP & Volatility

At the moment Alter Gods doesn’t have a set volatility. This means that we don’t know what level of risk you will be taking by playing the game for real money. The RTP, however, has been set at 95%. This is quite disappointing, as it is below the industry average for online slots. The RTP will have been set by the game developer based on several tests they do during the creation of the game. Normally an RTP would signify how much you could expect to win back based on spending 100 coins on the reels.

How to Play Alter Gods

Alter Gods has a few basic controls you will need to get to grips with in order to play for free or for real money. Below is a brief overview of the controls if you are new to online slots or need help playing the game.

1.    The information button will introduce you to the paytable as well as the rules for the game.
2.    Underneath the information button is the gamble button, which can be clicked once the feature becomes available.
3.    The large arrow button can be clicked to spin the reels. You can click it again to stop the reels.
4.    Use the autospin button to enter the setup menu and start the reels spinning on their own.
5.    Use the bet/lines button at the bottom of the screen to change your bet amount.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

In terms of a betting range Alter Gods has a great one starting out at 1 coin and going up to 5000 coins per payline. Having such a large range like this means it will suit a lot of different budgets, especially if you are planning on playing for real money.

To get a win in Alter Gods you’ll have to get three or more matching symbols over a payline. Wins pay out from left to right on the reels, and only the highest win will be paid out per payline. Below are the multipliers you can win by landing five of each symbol on the reels.

Alter Gods Bonus Features

Free Spins

Landing three or more scatter symbols in Alter Gods will trigger the free spins round. During the free games round the scatter then becomes a wild symbol and substitutes in for all other icons to help create more wins. In your free spins round you can also retrigger more free spins by landing three or more scatter wild symbols.

Alter Feature

When you land three or more of the scatter symbols the alter feature will be triggered. Here you will need to choose your own Divine Symbol and you will also be awarded with your 12, 15 or 18 free spins as well. During the free spins round the symbol you have chosen will turn into a corresponding single symbol of an Alter God and pay out more money in prizes.

Gamble Feature

Landing a win in Alter Gods will automatically activate the gamble feature. In the gamble round you will need to guess the card’s colour by choosing the red or black symbols. If the selected colour matches the card, then your win is doubled. If you lose, then your win is lost and the gamble game ends. Winnings can be collected at any point during the game by clicking the collect button.

Our Verdict

DLV have upped their design game with this slot. Comparing it to other slots in the modern genre, though, it definitely isn’t a standout. The RTP is disappointing too, being lower than average for an online slot. The free spins, however, are good, and the alter feature adds a bonus element to the game which is entertaining.
