Gods Of Glory

There’s a saying in the world of online casino gambling, when you’re on a real hot streak, that “The slot Gods are on your side”.

I’m not entirely sure where this saying originally came from, but one thing for sure is that Gods and slot games go hand in hand like Zeus and lightning.

Mixing Greek Mythology into a game really gives providers a chance to run with their creativity; almost anything can and should be possible, and the theme of Ancient Greece honestly can cause for some truly outstanding visuals, if done correctly.

Perhaps that is the reason players regularly get treated to particularly fine titles such as Hacksaw Gaming’s Ze Zeus, 4ThePlayer’s 7×7 Zeus and Push Gaming’s recent Cats Of Olympuss to name a mere few.

Gods Of Glory Base Game

Looking to add to that list is Slotmill, who are certainly no strangers to historical themings with past releases of Tyrant’s Fall and Golden Scrolls in their back catalogue.

Their latest title sees the combination of expanding Wilds and Synced Reels come together as Gods Of Glory hits our casino platforms on 15th October 2024.

As the name suggests, players can expect a whole host of Godly characters to land on their screens in hope of doing glorious things as a result.

The game screen opens up to a fairly typical, ancient Greek setting; a grand, column entrance, high up in a cloud-topped mountain range with a 5×6 game grid taking centre stage.

A dreamy, harp-led riff plays out in the background that is very fitting to the theme.

Gods Of Glory fits into the high volatility category with a generous RTP of 96.08% and a mighty 15,000x bet maximum win potential.

All sounds fairly positive but with the vast number of God-themed titles out there to choose from already, has Slotmill produced a game to compete with the best of them?

Let’s don our wings and find out…

Gods Of Glory Offers Players 40 Fixed Win Lines

Gods Of Glory Base Features

Win spins are achieved by forming combinations of 3 or more matching symbols across any of the game’s 40 paylines.

There are 11 regular paying symbols to look out for, consisting of low-paying J, Q, K, A paying up to 2.25x for 5 matching symbols, mid-paying flowers, sandal, shield paying up to 5x for 5 matching symbols and high-paying god characters paying between 6.25 to 12.5x for 5 matching.

Gods Of Glory Downward Expanding Wild Symbols

Wild Symbols

Wild symbols are present during all game modes and substitute for all regular paying symbols.

A line of 5 Wilds will achieve a payout of 12.5x bet.

Wilds can come in 3 different forms, each bringing their own feature into the game.

• Wild Symbol – takes the position of one space on any reel it lands in.
• Downward Expanding Wild Symbol – can land in any position on any reel and expands downwards to the bottom of its corresponding reel.
• Fully Expanding Wild Symbol – can land in any position on any reel and will expand to cover the entire reel.

Landing the Downward Expanding Wild or the Fully Expanding Wild can bring with it the chance of a multiplier being applied to the expanded symbols.

Possible multiplier values can range between 2x to 10x.

Should a winning combination include multiple expanding Wild symbols, the multiplier values involved shall be added together before being applied to the win and paying out.

Gods Of Glory Synced Reels

Synced Reels

During any single game round, it is possible that 2 or more reels can randomly synchronise, displaying the same symbols on each affected reel.

Expanding Wild multipliers are not included during synchronisation.

Gods of Glory Bonus

Landing at least 3 scatter symbols shall trigger the Free Spins feature.

The more scatters landed during the trigger, the higher the level of bonus awarded.

Regular Free Spins

Landing 3 scatters shall award the Free Spins feature, awarding the player with 8 free spins.

During Free Spins, the chances of landing Wild symbols increases.

Landing the +1 symbol during the free spins shall award 1 extra free spin.

The Super Free Spins feature plays out the same as the regular Free Spins, however all Wilds now become Fully Expanding Wild symbols.

During Super Super Free Spins, all Wilds become Fully Expanding Wild symbols and every spin guarantees at least 2 Synced Reels.

First Impression

Stepping back into reality, how does Gods Of Glory rate in comparison to what else is out there, on offer?

Let’s start with the theming which, I must say, is everything one would expect from a Slotmill release.

Graphically the game has its charm; quirky character symbols that are neither too overpowering nor too undersold along with well-landscaped backdrops that change between game modes.

You can’t really go too far wrong with Ancient Greek-themed games and Gods Of Glory is no exception.

The animations are smooth and easy on the eye, with regard to the Expanding Wild symbols and the electrifying multiplier appearing adds a great touch.

The game play, itself, oozes vibes of Golden Scrolls, which was and still is a very good game.

What Slotmill has done with this latest title is remove the feature of 2 dueling multipliers and focus more on the Wild symbol itself.

Having the inclusion of landing 3 different types of Wild brings with it higher levels of anticipation and excitement as you see each Wild drop.

Of course, you want to be seeing the Fully Expanding Wild symbols for that maximum potential, but that’s all part of the anticipation.

It also needs to be said that the Sync Reels feature works extremely well alongside the Wild features and anyone able to land the multiplying Wilds alongside premium, synced symbols will see exactly where that 15,000x max win potential can come from.

What I love about the team at Slotmill is their ability to look at games gone by and see the extra potential that could come from a bit of progression.

Gods Of Glory is a prime example of that put into practise and, although it has to be said there are going to be more favoured games out there than this one, it should prove to be a solid game attracting a healthy audience.

I will certainly look forward to the provider’s next installment as they seem to be nailing the fine margins of potential, volatility and enjoyment.
