Age of Glory Slot by Endorphina

The bonus is a hold-and-win wheel, and it's the part of Age of Glory worth understanding first. Land 5 or more of the gold coin BONUS symbols and the reels lock into a respin round that starts with three attempts. Every spin spends one attempt, but any new coin landing resets the count back to three, so a board that keeps feeding you symbols can run a long time. Coins stick where they fall; empty cells keep spinning. Each Coin BONUS holds a multiplier of your total bet, anywhere from x1 up to x10. Mixed in are Wheel of Fortune coins that hide a guaranteed prize revealed at the end: a MIN, MID or MAX fixed jackpot worth 50x, 100x or 300x your bet, or a Surprise pay of 15x, 20x or 30x. The whole haul is summed and paid when the round closes. And if you manage to collect 15 BONUS symbols before it ends, the entire bonus total is doubled.

Base play is simpler. The expanding wild is a golden crown that only lands on reels two through five, never the first reel, and it stretches to fill its whole column to complete the 25 fixed lines. It stands in for everything except the scatter and the coins. There's no free spins round here at all, no bonus buy either, so the only way into the wheel is hitting those five coins on a natural spin.

Sitting on top of that is a network progressive, three tiers (GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR) drawn at random with no input from you, separate from the fixed in-bonus prizes. Higher bets improve your odds, and an operator can switch the whole thing off, so it may or may not be live where you play. Any regular win can also go to a card gamble, double or nothing against a dealer, up to ten times in a row, though jackpot money can't be risked that way.

The setting is a sunlit alpine kingdom, a green valley under snow-capped peaks with a stone castle on the far hillside and grapevines trailing over the carved wooden cabinet. The premiums are medieval royalty rendered in gold and red: a crowned queen, a knight's chestnut horse, a heraldic shield, a jeweled cross, with gold-and-jewel A K Q J beneath them. It's a warm, regal look, more pastoral storybook than dark-ages grit.
