Gods of Troy

Gods of Troy: Slot Overview

Troy is a name that has echoed through the ages, immortalised in the Trojan Wars, a ten-year battle which started after Paris eloped or abducted Menelaus' wife, Helen. In the legends, it wasn't just soldiers and heroes who were involved in the battle of Troy. The conflict also attracted the attention of gods, who lent various degrees of assistance to each side. This leads us to Gods of Troy, an online slot from Red Tiger, which has plenty of Trojan references as well as a 10-spin cycle wild frame feature, and Troy Spins with a roaming wild aspect.

Red Tiger has gone full Ancient Greek in their design of Gods of Troy. The game grid is housed in a classical structure bearing columns, square patterns, and gold trim. To its sides are the sparkling waters of the Aegean Sea, soldiers, and the legendary Wooden Horse, the device used to breach Troy's walls. It's a view history buffs will be well acquainted with, as will Greek slot enthusiasts, as Gods of Troy has a familiar graphical quality found in a number of games set in the Ancient/Classical World.

Like much of the subject matter it portrays, Gods of Troy is a highly volatile slot, and taking part is possible on any device by picking a stake of 10 p/c to $/€10 per spin. Pick a bet carefully, though, because Gods of Troy is a slot where every tenth spin potentially adds wilds to framed positions on the reels. Changing bets means starting a fresh set of 10 spins, though progress is saved if you go back. The RTP, meanwhile, comes in a variety of models, with the highest value being 95.74%.

Played on a 5-reel, 4-row grid matrix, Gods of Troy provides 30 paylines for landing winning combinations across. Ten through to Ace card ranks make up the lower value bunch, paying 0.8 to 1.8 times the stake for a five-of-a-kind win. After them are horns, vases of coins, chariots, and a warrior, awarding 2 to 5 times the stake for a five-symbol win. The most valuable pay symbol is the full reel female character, paying 10x the bet for a five-symbol winning line. Wilds appear on all reels, paying as much as the lady tile when lining up five of them, and they can also be used to replace any normal pay tile to complete winning lines.

Gods of Troy: Slot Features

Gods of Troy's base game is played in batches of 10 spins which are tracked on a counter above the reels. When Golden Shields appear, they leave a Golden Wreath on their position. If a Golden Shield lands on a Golden Wreath, it is duplicated onto another random position. On the 10th spin, all Golden Wreaths are turned into wild symbols; then, they are removed for the next cycle.

Troy Spins

Scatter symbols do not appear on the 10th spin, but if 3 or more scatters are in view on any other base game round, then Troy Spins are triggered. At the start of the bonus round, a wheel spins to calculate how many free spins and wild symbols will be awarded. This process is governed by how many scatters triggered the feature; 3 scatters can award up to 15 spins and a maximum of 10 wilds, 4 scatters award up to 25 spins and 12 wilds, while 5 scatters can lead to up to 50 spins and 15 wilds.

During free spins, the awarded number of wilds is always present on the reels. Wilds can either change position or stay where they are between free spins. Each scatter that lands in the bonus round awards an extra free spin. Just to be clear, Golden Wreaths do not appear in Troy Spins.

Gods of Troy: Slot Verdict

Gods of Troy joins the ranks of slots like IGT's Scarab and Pragmatic Play's Golden Beauty, where every set number of spins adds wild symbols to framed positions. It's not exactly a common feature, but it does pop up from time to time and may alter the way players approach the game. For one, you kind of have to commit to ten spins since the first nine are build-up, while the tenth is the (potential) payoff spin. It can be quite encouraging when a number of Golden Wreath frames are piling up, and at best, a full-screen win in Gods of Troy is worth 300x the bet. Not a king's ransom, yet not bad with all that adding wild symbol activity going on.

Just as enticing, if not more so, is free spins where set wilds remain on screen for the full duration. Naturally, it won't happen too often, but the thought of getting the maximum number of 50 free spins with all 15 wilds on each of them is quite a stirring one. Having so many spins and wilds would come in handy for having a crack at Gods of Troy's potential of 6157.7x the bet, a higher figure than many Red Tiger slots released around the same time have had. As well as the possibility of getting a bunch of wilds in free spins, whether players will want to stick around will likely come down to how they feel about the 10-spin system and the theme. Both are kind of traditional, and when mixed together, Gods of Troy is a rather old-fashioned game in a way. Perhaps the conventionality factor will be a major draw for some players.

Gods of Troy's ten spins wild addition feature, which, while not unique, isn't a system that crops up every other day. If you've felt the desire to try this sort of thing out, Gods of Troy is as good a place as any to do so. It's also got the sort of bonus round that might appeal to players who have already developed a taste for the mechanic.
