Gods of Gold - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Renowned for games including City Life and A Nightmare on Elm Street, 888 Slots demo slots consistently deliver an engaging in-play experience that keeps players coming back time and again.

The realm of Greek mythology has fascinated people for centuries. If you are eager to dip your toes into this spectacular setting for a slot game, 888 has done an excellent job with Gods of Gold. 

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Zeus stands tall on the left-hand side of the reels, carefully watching over proceedings as players spin to win. He is also protecting the progressive jackpot chest, which is something players will want to keep an eye on as it will be triggered randomly. On the right-hand side of the reels stands a majestic eagle with a scroll around its neck. The bird’s perch is an overturned wine vessel, which also acts as the game’s primary spin button.

Five gods and goddesses represent the highest-paying symbols on the paytable, with a lot of time and creative thought put into their design. Additionally, the symbols that represent each of the bonus games have been carefully designed to reflect the overall mythological theme. These symbols include feathers, a bird holding a laurel leaf in its beak, and a geometric sun. The game’s sound effects are relatively basic but, importantly, the animations play out with ease.

Gods of Gold RTP and variance

3. Gods of Gold offers two spin modes. Autoplay mode can be activated by clicking on the x10, x25, x50 or x75 buttons beneath the autoplay title at the bottom of the screen; alternatively, players can select the main spin button, which looks like an overflowing jug of wine, to start.
4. As soon as the fun stops and/or you reach your comfortable spend limit, stop playing.

Gods of Gold bonus features

Temple wild

This towering temple symbol acts as the game’s primary wild and can substitute for all other symbols on the paytable aside from the lightning wild and the wheel of fortune bonus. When it lands in just the right places on the active reels, players could be afforded the opportunity to make more winning combinations.

Lightning wild

When the lightning wild symbol lands on reel three, two bonus features will be unlocked:

1. Between two and four sticky wilds will appear on the reels.
2. Between one and three respins will occur.

During respins, sticky wilds will remain on the reels to provide the most fortunate players with the chance to land additional winning combinations.

Excitingly, the lightning wild will trigger these bonus features regardless of whether it forms part of a winning combination. Additionally, each sticky wild will have an animated timer, which will indicate the number of respins that remain.

Progressive jackpot

Gods of Gold benefits from a progressive jackpot, which will be awarded randomly to players favoured by the gods. The size of the in-play bet will affect the probability of unlocking the jackpot.

Wheel of fortune

When three bonus symbols land anywhere on reels two, three and four, the wheel of fortune will appear. Players will have the chance to spin to unlock one of five bonus games, each of which benefits from a win multiplier. Each bonus game will ask players to select a symbol from four different choices, so there is no specific skill required to unlock a potentially balance-boosting prize.
