Game Overview
Here’s another immaculately presented online slot from experienced software house Play’N’Go, based on the Gates of Troy – the location of the famous tale about the Trojan Horse. I really appreciate the quality of the vector-based graphics that Play’N’Go uses in their games, which means that they can adapt correctly to any screen size with zero loss in quality. Play’N’Go has opted for 30 fixed pay lines in their Gates of Troy online slot, with a maximum win of 3,000x your stake on the reels (not capped).
There are several features included in the Gates of Troy slot game; a guaranteed scatter modifier will add two scatter symbols to the reels randomly during the base game, three or more scatters will award ten free spins, and there are wild multiplier symbols as well as a sticky frame’s feature that activates during the bonus round.
Are you ready to go through the gates yet? Or are you still preparing your horse? Once everything is in order, you can check out our free demo slot of Gates of Troy below and play it on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Gates Of Troy Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Unsurprisingly, the legend of the Gates of Troy has formed the basis for numerous computer and video games over the years, but I wasn’t aware of any other online slots with this theme until I began researching for this review. It turns out that there has been at least one previous attempt – IGT’s Treasures of Troy online slot – but it isn’t a very well-known slot and lacks the polish of Play’N’Go’s newer take on the story. And by the way, the original story of Troy has had a huge impact on modern culture, considering that the main literary work of the story is a single archaic poem. However, there was a later Greek epic based on the tale, which is most likely the source of the attention that the Trojan Horse receives.
Over to the paytable and kicking things off, we have the scatter symbols, which will pay you 100x your stake for hitting all five or 10x for four; these aren’t earth-shattering payouts, but they represent a tidy little bonus for hitting some extra scatters before a bonus round. The wild will pay 30x your bet for each full pay line you hit of those, but this will often be doubled to 60x if at least one multiplier wild is included in the winning combination. Topping out the regular symbols is the female queen character with a return of 20x your bet for five-of-a-kind, followed by the male character at 10x, and then the bowl of fruit and jug, which both pay 6.5x your stake each. Other than this, there are just five more royal symbols that make up the reel strips, which feels like a small number altogether.
Typically for Play’N’Go, you have a wide range of staking options available; the minimum bet in the game’s demo version is set at €0.10, while the maximum appears to be relatively low for a top-tier developer at €30.00 per spin.
Base Game & Modifiers
The base game is played on a 5×4 grid, slightly larger than the average size of 5×3 and has 30 fixed paylines for wins to be created upon. All the symbols on the paytable require at least three matches on a pay line from left-to-right to result in a win, except the scatters that pay anywhere. The wild multiplier symbol shows up during both the base game and free spins, but larger multipliers than 2x show up during the bonus round only.
Guaranteed Scatter Modifier
During the base game, a guaranteed scatter modifier can randomly appear at the beginning of a paid spin and place two scatter symbols somewhere on the reel strips. After this, a wave of fire will begin rolling down the remaining three reels to highlight the current opportunity of winning a bonus round.
Gates Of Troy Slot Free Spins Feature
And speaking of that bonus round, you’ll need three or more scatters on the reels to trigger ten free spins, which have a rather nifty additional feature added to them, as explained below.
During the free spins feature, you may see multipliers higher than 2x appear on the reels, which do not appear at other points in the game, but the main attraction of this mode is the sticky frames.
What are sticky frames, you would be well justified in asking? These outline graphics will be left behind whenever a wild symbol lands during the bonus round and will remain in place for the duration of the free spins. During the following free spins, each symbol that is surrounded by a frame will be transformed into a wild; this makes the frames practically equivalent to sticky wild symbols, and as you can potentially fill the screen with them during free spins, they make for an exciting – and profitable – free spins feature!
Gates Of Troy Slot Review Final Thoughts
This isn’t the greatest slot Play’N’Go has ever produced by any means, but it’s a solid effort that is likely to find an audience during its first few months. I doubt the Gates of Troy video slot will become an all-time classic, but this is an excellent choice if you are just looking for something new and different to play.
