Gold of the Gods Slots

The premise of the Gold of the Gods slot game is the ancient Mayan era. And before you get up in arms about that, we acknowledge that this is a theme that has almost been done to beyond redemption at this point. Everything and everyone is ancient in slots, or Egyptian, or other related rich folks full of golden imagery that is not under copyright. That said, this game is a very cute and charming version of that which hits some good notes we have not seen elsewhere, and warms our faces with a smile for that reason. It is a popular theme because it works well, and it works every time. This is a great rendition of it that we adore, and if you have not played many others, we feel you will like what they did here.

Presentation

Graphics here are really good. Everything is crisp, golden, colorful, and inviting. The background and fonts in particular are a nice touch, blending in well with the rest of the surroundings and not feeling like the complete afterthought they usually are when done elsewhere. The cute little ancient faces are very expressive, the various dolls and artifacts look quaint, and the colors on the matching cards look good as well. We think it was a misstep to include playing cards and not something vaguely Mayan seeming, but we do not hold it against the devs, as it still works and looks fine.

Mechanics

Gameplay here is fairly standard. There are 5 reels and 25 paylines, with coin sizes ranging from a penny to $5 per line. This makes it very newbie friendly, though it might leave some high rollers wanting a bit more from their investment because the max bet tops out at $125. There are not many modes here that will wow you, but this Wager Gaming Technology slot does seem to pay out a decent amount of money for what you put into the game, which is a killer element in our book!

Verdict

This is a solid game for short and intermediate play sessions that will have anyone with a heart and a nose for money spinning into the night as digital dough flies out into your bank account. It is a solid look at a classic theme that ties itself strongly to the basics, nails them perfectly, and is always addictive. We recommend giving it a whirl right now and seeing what you win!
