Rise of Gods: Reckoning Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Rise of Gods: Reckoning slot is played on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. 3 or more matching symbols across a payline, from left to right and beginning on reel 1, will constitute a winning combination.

Stakes range from 20p to £100 per spin. There are 5 options below the reels at all times. Use the arrows either side to adjust the bet to your requirement. For non UK players, there’s a Lightning Bolt in the bottom left-hand corner which enables Turbo Mode. You’ll also see an Auto Play button for autospins (again, not available in the UK).

In terms of payouts, you can win up 5,000 x your total stake on each spin. The biggest wins will come in the free spins as the win multiplier can rise with no limits. The max payout will occur every 1 billion spins on average.

Theme – a modern day Greek mythology story

With a Greek mythology theme, the Rise of Gods: Reckoning slot has a modern twist. The story is that a young Zeus along with brothers Poseidon and Hades live amongst us on Earth after imprisoning their father, Cronus. Cronus is fully of rage about this and breaks free to unleash his fury.

In terms of the characters, you think of Zeus sporting a white beard but he has blonde locks and a youthful face. Poseidon has dreadlocks for hair. Hades is without his 3-headed dog Cerberus and looks a little mysterious like a magician. Fair play to Play ‘n GO for trying something different to what is usually presented with this theme.

What looks like New York City in the backdrop, symbols on the reels include neon style A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. The 3 higher value symbols are represented by brothers Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. Zeus is the best paying symbol and awards 0.9, 1.8 or 5 x your total stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Then you have a wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols bar the scatter. It also pays like Zeus (up to 5 x bet). The Cronus symbol is the scatter which is needed to trigger the free spins (more on this below).

Rise of Gods: Reckoning Mobile

Rise of Gods: Reckoning was producing using the latest HTML5 technology. This allows for play across all devices such as mobiles, laptops, PCs and tablets. The 7×7 grid lends itself well to iPhones and Androids but for the full visual and audio experience, a larger screen is always recommended.

Rise of Gods: Reckoning Bonus Features

The Rise of Gods: Reckoning slot comes with 3 bonus features. With fully stacked symbols that increase the multiplier by 1, 2 reels can sync randomly on each spin. This all applies during the free spins where the win multiplier can only increase.

Win Multiplier feature

The 3 brother symbols, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, can appear fully stacked on the reels. Each fully stacked reel of the same symbol increases the multiplier by 1. This is known as the Win Multiplier feature. So 1 fully stacked reel will see the win multiplier increase to 2x. This can result in a 6x multiplier being in play.

Wrath of Gods feature

Randomly on any spin, the Wrath of Gods feature can be triggered. 2 reels can be randomly selected to synchronise and display the same high paying symbols (Zeus, Poseidon or Hades). This dramatically increases your chances of landing a winning combination.

Free Spins feature

Finally, there’s the Free Spins feature which is activated when 3 Cronus scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. If you have an active win multiplier from the base game when triggered, it’s carried over into the free spins.

The difference from the base game is that the win multiplier doesn’t reset during the free spins. Only increasing, this means the multiplier can rise much higher than the maximum 6x in the base game. Finally, 1, 2 or 3 scatters will result in 1, 3 or 6 extra free spins, with no limits.

Rise of Gods: Reckoning Review Summary – all about the win multiplier

The Greek mythology theme may be common but Play ‘n GO has gone for a different angle with the young Greek gods strutting their stuff on Earth. Visually, its refreshingly different from what you usually see.

In terms of the gameplay, landing stacked deity symbols will see the win multiplier by 1 each time. This can lead to a 6x multiplier in the base game. The randomly synchronised reels will lead to bigger wins but wins of 1,200 x stake are available in the base game (with the potential 6x multiplier). Therefore, it’s all about the Free Spins feature.

With the win multiplier only rising during the free spins, the potential 5,000 x bet max wins will only come from the Free Spins feature. It has similarities to Rise of Olympus (also by Play ‘n GO) which offers the same max win potential and focuses on the increasing multiplier during the free spins. The game has many similarities to the Saxon slot which has 10,000 x stake max wins (double that on offer here).

Overall, Rise of Gods: Reckoning is a well designed slot that lacks the power of other slots sharing the same theme and characters. Playtech’s Age of the Gods is still the standard offering 50,000 x bet max wins and 4 progressive jackpots.

An alternative is Age of the Gods: Furious 4 which comes with free spins with 4 Furious features, 50,000 x stake wins and the 4 jackpots.
