Theme and Graphics
The slot is set in a Greek temple, in the center of a portico made up of elegant columns, against a twilight background in purple and blue tones. At the top of these columns are various lit braziers, which add dynamism to the scene. The grid is located in the center, has a midnight blue background and is framed in gold. On it, the reels host symbols inspired by the deities in play, as well as icons representing them: Ares, Aphrodite, and Poseidon wink at the player, challenging them to continue. The graphics aren't among the most modern, however they're pleasant and will be familiar to gamers who love retro games.
Bonus Features
Cascade Reaction: all symbols that are part of a winning combination are removed once their value is collected. The upper symbols will then fall, potentially triggering a chain reaction leading to future wins.
Multipliers: special icons (green, red, pink, and blue) can appear at any time on all reels and bring with them a random value that oscillates between 2x and 50x the base bet. If they appear during the Cascade feature, all values on screen are added together and the final win is multiplied by the result.
Scatter and Free Spins: the temple symbol is the scatter and when it lands a minimum of 4 times anywhere on the screen, it activates free spins. There are 3 types, each inspired by a deity:
- Realm of Ares: activated by 4 scatters, offers 8 free spins;
- Realm of Aphrodite: activated by 5 scatters, offers 10 free spins;
- Realm of Poseidon: activated by 6 scatters, offers 12 free spins.
Conversion: during free spins, deity symbols can automatically and randomly transform into the symbol of the god currently reigning. Naturally, this offers many extra winning opportunities, so it's a feature not to be underestimated!
Double chance: by paying 1.25x the base bet, you get double the chances of activating free spins.
Buy bonus: paying 100x the base bet guarantees the player that 4 to 6 scatters will land on the next spin, thus activating the free spins feature without waiting.

Pros and Cons of Epic Gods Slot
Although the graphics aren't among the most innovative I've seen recently, it's undeniable that Cristaltec is a provider attentive to user preferences: after all, they're proposing a new slot with a Greek mythology theme, one of the public's favorite settings! The slot's return to player is below the current average, so I would certainly have preferred to see a higher value. The special features are definitely the highlight of the game: the fact that it doesn't have fixed paylines is an interesting characteristic, further expanded by the cascade system. What I can certainly say is that this game can be a good option for novice gamers who want to practice with a pleasant slot without too many pretensions.
