Playtech Greek Mythology Series To Replace Marvel Pokies
Added: June 16, 2016
The Marvel branded superhero pokies have long regaled players at Playtech powered online casinos. But they will be discontinued soon because of licencing issues. Playtech has already created a substitute series called Age of the Gods. These will not be branded pokies but will be based on popular characters from Greek mythology, which are in many ways like the Marvel superheroes. The flagship video pokie titled Age of the Gods has already gone live, along with King of Olympus and Furious 4. The other forthcoming titles have been reported as Hercules, Athena and Fate Sisters. It seems that the online pokies of the Age of the Gods series will use the existing templates from the different Marvel pokies.
Age of the Gods has exactly the same slot engine as The Avengers. The gods and goddesses are the high paying symbols. The Wild symbol awards the highest line payout of 10,000 coins. Age of the Gods logo is the scatter symbol. The Pantheon of Power bonus game is activated when five deities appear on a payline in any order and it awards 200 times the line bet. Age of the Gods bonus feature is activated by three or more scatter symbols. 20 coins are displayed on the second screen, each of which hides one of four deities. You keep selecting coins till you reveal three of the same character. Then you will be awarded the free games based on that character. But if you finds Hades before that then the feature will end without your winning anything. Each god awards 9 free games with a unique property.
Age of the Gods: Furious 4 is modelled on the Marvel branded pokie Fantastic 4. The Greek heroes in Furious 4 are Prometheus, Apollo, Pandora and Atlas. As in Fantastic 4, each one of them offers his or her free games feature. The Age of Fire is based on Prometheus, Age of Light on Apollo, Age of Curiosity on Pandora and Age of Endurance on Atlas. You will notice that the characteristic of the chosen age perfectly matches with the behavior of the character in Greek mythology.
All the Age of the Gods online pokies will be networked to the same four-tier progressive jackpot, which operates in the same manner as the Marvel Mystery Progressive network. Referring to these online pokies, Shimon Akad, chief operating officer for Playtech, said, “Our casino unit has developed a series of incredible, high-quality games that will add yet another dimension to our already unique suite of 600 best-performing titles.”
