Age of the Gods: Gold Trio Slot by Playtech

Three goddesses hover over the reels, and each one owns a coin. The purple-robed sorceress on the left holds the Multiplier orb marked X, the blue-haired goddess in the center the Cash orb marked $, the red-haired goddess on the right the Collector orb. None of those coins pay on lines. They run the Gold Trio Respins, and that is where this game actually happens. The base Greek-temple spins are thin on their own: jewelled card royals, an iridescent feather, a single blue rose, and a Wild that stands in for everything except the coins.

Land one, two, three or all four coin colours in the main game and the Hold & Win starts with 5 to 8 coins locked in place. From there only the colour that triggered it, plus the golden Sun coin, drops on the reels. The Multiplier coin doubles the value sitting on every coin in view. The Collector sweeps all the cash on screen and pays the total. The Cash coin just hands over a prize. Lock fresh coins and the respin counter resets for more spins, and covering the whole grid pays the Grand at the top of the four-tier ladder above Major, Minor and Mini.

The Hot Zone is a marked panel in the middle of the reels. Drop the Sun coin into it during a normal spin and two things fire at once: the reels double in height for the respins, and you bank a Mini, Minor or Major cash prize immediately. Taller reels mean far more room for coins to stick, so that single landing is the difference between a small Mini and filling the screen.

Sitting on top is the Age of the Gods network. Four mystery progressives - Power, Super Power, Extra Power and Ultimate Power - can drop at random on any spin, winning or not. Trigger one and you go to a pick screen: a 4x5 layout of 20 coins that you flip until three match, and the trio you complete decides which pot you take. These are shared across every Age of the Gods title and climb with no cap, so they sit well beyond anything the Gold Trio side awards.

Don't want to wait for coins to line up? The Buy Feature purchases the respins outright, and you pick how loaded the start is, from a single coin colour up to all four active from the first spin against a blazing golden sun and swirling blue and purple cloud.
