Since Playtech released Age Of The Gods: God Of Storms way back in 2017, this series has just kept getting better.
And Age Of The Gods Maze Keeper, the latest release, does not disappoint. The Ancient Greek mythology theme is continued, this time taking us deep into the Minotaur's maze. Here you'll have the chance to battle this fierce, flesh-eating half-bull, half-man during the bonus rounds.
If you like your slots to mix it up a bit during gameplay, you'll definitely like Age Of The Gods Maze Keeper casino game. It starts out on a 6x4 grid with 4096 ways to win in the base game. Once wilds and scatters start appearing, though, it will gear up, adding more rows for a maximum of 14400 ways to win.
The low paying symbols are card ranks from 9 to Ace. Three of these anywhere on adjacent reels will win you between 0.1 and 0.3x your stake. This increases up to between 1.6 and 2.4 for six of a kind.
Higher paying symbols start with a battle axe, ideal for chopping the head off the Minotaur, and include a helmet, a male and a female character, and the big bad Minotaur himself. Two of these will win you between 0.1 and 1.0x your stake. The bull/man is the highest paying symbol, starting at x1 for two of a kind and going all the way up to x6 for six of a kind.
There is also a Fire Bowl Wild that can land on reels two to six. This can stand in for all regular symbols to make a winning combination. When a wild lands, you’re also awarded a random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5, boosting any wins formed by the wild. If more than one multiplier hits on the same win, the values are added together, and the win multiplied by that amount.
Landing between 3 and 6 scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger the Ways Boost. 3 scatters will get you eight free spins, 4 scatters result in 15 spins, 5 will get you 25, and the reward for 6 scatters jumps all the way to 100 free spins.
Two scatters during the free spins will get you an additional five spins, and this can keep going until you reach a total of 1000 spins. The Ways Boost will also activate during free spins. This increases the grid size to 4-5-6-6-5-4, which in turn results in 14,400 ways to win on your free spins.
