Age Of The Gods Maze Keeper Review

Playtech Viking’s 2017 release, Age of the Gods: God of Storms, has somehow managed to climb to the number one position on our progressive jackpot SlotRank chart, and we know a follow-up is coming soon. Meanwhile, you have Playtech Origin’s latest installment to play around with, and Age Of The Gods: Maze Keeper revolves around the ‘part man part bull’ Minotauros creature.

This man-eating mythological beast was trapped in a massive labyrinth built by Daedalus for King Minos at Knossos (Crete), and it’s an impressive sight to behold when the bonus round triggers. The Minotaur was eventually killed by Theseus, who famously used a red thread to find his way out of the maze. You get multiplier wilds and an expanded reel set bonus round in this installment, and the ‘common thread’ is still the progressive Age of the Gods jackpots.

Age Of The Gods: Maze Keeper Slot Features

The All Ways pay system means that matching symbols from the uttermost left to the right (a minimum of 2 premiums or 3 royals) on adjacent reels is a winner regardless of the position on the reel. The premium symbols pay between 3 and 6 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the top-tier Minotaur symbol tends to land in stacks.

The fire bowl Wild can appear on reels 2 to 6 only, and it steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combos. A random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5 will manifest after the wild has landed, boosting any win the wild is involved in. If more than one multiplier wild is involved in the same win, the multiplier values are added together (not multiplied) before being applied.

The Ways Boost™ Free Games round triggers when you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters anywhere in view, and this awards 8, 15, 25 or 100 free spins, respectively.

You can retrigger the feature with up to 1,000 spins in total, and 2 scatters award +5 free spins during the bonus round. The Ways Boost™ mechanic increases the grid to 4-5-6-6-5-4 up front, giving you 14,400 ways to win during the whole feature.

The Age of the Gods Jackpot bonus triggers randomly, and this takes you into a Pick ‘Em Game where you’re guaranteed to win 1 of the 4 progressive jackpots. Match up 3 jackpot coins to win the corresponding prize, and they have the following starting levels:

• The Ultimate Power Jackpot seeds at €/£100,000 (drops around every 40 days with an average payout around €550,851. It’s gone as high as €984,763, however).
• The Super Power Jackpot seeds at €/£5,000.
• The Extra Power Jackpot seeds at €/£500.
• The Power Jackpot seeds at €/£50.

The 200 Spins Age Of The Gods: Maze Keeper Slot Experience

We grinded along in the base game, with mostly dead spins and smaller wins, and you can safely skip to the bonus round that triggers around 1 minute into the 2:22-minute highlights video. The mountain backdrop and the massive labyrinth underneath the expanded grid was more impressive than our results however, and you can check it all out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

It was only a matter of time before Playtech would incorporate their trademarked Ways Boost system into their popular Age of the Gods progressive jackpot series.

It only affects the bonus round in this installment though, and it feels less dynamic when the reels simply expand up front to give you the fixed number of 14,400 win ways. We’ve seen multiplier wilds plenty of times before as well, and it makes no real difference that the multiplier value is decided after the wild lands.

The base game is mostly a grind, with plenty of dead spins to go around, although larger payouts are possible with 4,096 win ways. It seemed easier to win extra spins during the bonus round than to land actual winning combinations, and most of the time the multiplier wilds were involved in anything significant. The 10,000x potential is decent though, but with an RTP of 93.48 % you’re paying a steeper prize than usual for the jackpot chase.

Pros

• Random multiplier wilds up to x5
• FS w/ expanded grid w/ 14,400 win ways
• Randomly triggered progressive jackpot bonus
• Ultimate Power Jackpot seeds at €/£100,000
• 10,000x max win outside of jackpots

Cons

• 93.48 % RTP is unusually low for this series

You get between 3 and 6 rows per reel, and there are 4 bonus round options with a 10,000x potential outside of the jackpots.

Maze Escape Megaways - is a Fantasma release with a highly unusual take on the licensed dynamic reels engine.
