Age of the Gods: Epic Troy Slot by Playtech

Three of the game's characters each run their own respin bonus, and the trigger is identical for all three: two or more full stacks of that character dropping on the same spin. What happens next depends on who showed up. Helen gives three respins with only Helen symbols live, each one that lands locked in place, and the held stack pays when the respins run dry. A full screen of her is the biggest standard win in the game at 607.5x your stake. The gold Trojan-horse coin wild can't help her, though. Her bonus pays on Helen alone.

Paris runs over two respins and adds a twist at the finish. Hold enough of his green-backed stacks and any block of three or more sitting side by side collapses into a single Mega Reel that spins once for a flat prize: three adjacent stacks pay up to 50x total bet, four up to 100x, five up to 150x. No adjacent block of three, no Mega Reel, and the bonus just closes. Achilles is the short, sharp one. One respin, his helmeted-warrior stacks held to the end and then read as wilds, so they fill in around whatever else is on the board.

Across the base game the wild only lives on the middle three reels, so it never shows on reel one or five. Free games come from three or more scatters and run just six spins, but the reel strips get cut down to high payers only, wild, scatter, the three characters and the Trojan warship, which means every drop is loaded and any of the three respin bonuses can fire mid-feature. More scatters retrigger it.

There's a random Age of the Gods progressive stacked on top, four tiers deep, decided in a pick-three-coins round that stays locked in the free game. It all plays out through a golden temple gateway looking over Troy at sunrise: a marble caryatid holding up one side, columned white temples fading into the haze on the other, sunbeams cutting across a soft blue sky. The characters are painted portraits on coloured panels, Helen in pink, Paris in green, Achilles in red, beside a Trojan-horse-sailed trireme and carved-stone rune letters down at the bottom.
