Age of the Gods: Cash Collect Slot by Playtech

Everything here runs on coins. Cash Prize coins carry set values, Free Games coins carry a plus number, and both just sit on the reels doing nothing until a Cash Collect symbol turns up and sweeps every coin on screen at once. If one lands just above or below the visible area on reel 1 or 5, the reel nudges so it drops into view. That base loop feeds almost every feature.

Add Free Games coins to a Cash Collect and you get spins equal to the sum of their plus numbers. Through the round, Cash Collect symbols land on any reel and freeze in place for three spins, each one clearing the board again. Pair a Bonus Wheel symbol with a Cash Collect instead and you spin a wheel for a cash prize, more Free Games, or an Advance up the chain. Three wheels, blue then green then red, each one carrying bigger numbers than the last.

Then come the god respins, three of them reached at different levels. Poseidon drops up to three stacked Wilds onto reels 2 through 5, and those stacks slide one reel left every spin until they hit reel 1. Athena locks all your coins and hands you three Shields; any spin without a fresh coin costs a Shield, and you're finished at zero. Atlas is the aggressive one, an Atlas Cash Collect filling the middle reel for three spins while the multiplier on every collected coin climbs higher each time. Zeus, grey-bearded under a gold laurel crown, is the Wild, standing in for everything except the coins and the wheel symbol.

On top of all that sit two separate jackpot systems. Four network progressives, from Power up to Ultimate Power, trigger at random on any spin, while four fixed cash jackpots run from Mini to Grand and drop out of the Bonus Wheel or the respins. It's a lot. Honestly it's almost too much, a marble temple in the clouds crammed with a wheel, free games, three respins and two jackpot ladders all fighting for one screen. The default returns also sit below average and only really pick up once you switch the Extra Bet on. This is part of the long-running Age of the Gods line, with green-bearded Poseidon, armoured Athena and Hercules rounding out the premiums against Ionic columns, blue sky and lightning.
