The different cultures of the Far East and their customs seem to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration for iGaming software developers!
Ancient Gods is a video slot introduced by Real Time Gaming based on Chinese mythology, feral deities, and symbolism from that part of the world.
When it comes to the setup, you’ll be spinning 5 transparent reels, each 3 rows high, with 25 active paylines.
The game brings some pretty cool rewards that can be achieved through wilds, scatters, and free spins paired with different multipliers.
Theme and Symbols
When it comes to the graphics of Chinese-themed video slots, we all expect a simple combination of gold and red followed with various symbols of wealth and good fortune, but…
…Real Time Gaming has decided to take things to the next level!
In the background, you will see a classic Chinese landscape with animated rocky hills and waterfalls all over the place.
The simple yet effective grid is filled with golden and green dragons, phoenix birds, black snakes, and turtles.
If we add red, gold, and green scales, paired with tiger’s fur, feathers, and turtle’s carapace we’ll get the full list of symbols. As you can see, there’s no usual royal playing cards which is a great thing!
Betting Options
You’ll need to adjust bet parameters by determining the number of active lines (1-25) and the bet per line (0.01 – 0.25 coins) which means that you’ll be able to wager between 0.01 and 6.25 coins per strike.
Even though it’s a title of medium volatility, the Ancient Gods video slot offers some pretty cool rewards - the biggest possible payout sits at 7.500x bet or 50.000 coins, and…
…we should not forget the theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96%!
Features
The Wild comes in the form of a red Eastern dragon that’ll substitute all regular symbols except the scatter. It’s also the most lucrative symbol in the game, offering up to 2.500x bet during the base game, or 7.500x bet in the Free Spins mode.
If you want to trigger the Free Spins feature, you’ll need to land at least 3 golden medallion scatters. 2 free spins will be awarded for each scatter or wild appearing anywhere on the grid in the triggering spin.
It’s very important to realize that if you trigger the feature with 4 scatters, you’ll double all your winnings, while 5 scatters landed will award 3x multiplier.
But wait, there’s more!
All dragon wilds and medallion scatters that appear during the feature will reveal extra wilds!
Our Take
Even though it comes with a common theme, this RTG release is a pretty good video slot that’s extremely fun to play.
The Free Spins feature seems to be very rewarding (you can get up to 7.500x the bet) with a lot of wilds, additional free spins and multipliers that’ll add to the excitement.
