Age of the Gods: God of Storms, lightning over the reels

Same series, different weather

Where King of Olympus is all gold and marble, God of Storms leans into the darker side of Greek myth: black clouds, sea spray, forks of lightning and a god who commands the elements. It belongs to Playtech's Age of the Gods family, so the structure will feel familiar if you have played any other title in the range: five reels, mythological symbols at the top of the paytable, card ranks below.

The storm theme is more than decoration. The game's features are built around it, with the god's power showing up on the reels in ways that can change a spin. That makes it a little more eventful than the older titles in the series.

Features and free games

God of Storms has its own bonus round, triggered by scatter symbols, and base-game events linked to the storm. Rather than paraphrase the rules, open the paytable: it explains how each feature works, what triggers the free games and how they play. Spend a minute there and the animations will make sense as soon as they appear.

The Age of the Gods jackpot game

Like every game in the series, God of Storms is linked to the four-tier jackpot game: Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power. It can trigger at random, after which you pick coins to reveal which level you've won. In the demo, the jackpot values on screen are only illustrative.
