Legacy of the Gods

Introducing Legacy of the Gods Megaways

The Legacy of the Gods Megaways is the latest slot from the developers at Blueprint Gaming. You will find yourself coming up against some of the most powerful figures in Greek mythology in this highly volatile slot which offers mystery symbols, wild substitutions, free spins with four stages and a divine bet feature buy option. When it comes to winning's there is up to 50,000x your bet or 250,000 credits on offer depending on which you land first.

Gameplay and Bets

This slot is complete with cascading reels and plays out over 6-reels and up to 7-rows with a colossal 324 to 17,649 ways to win. The slot is playable on all devices which is ideal if you wish to play on the go. When it comes to placing your bets, the minimum is 0.10 credits up to a maximum of 10 credits per spin. I would place this game on the edge of high volatility, but it still offers a return to player of 96.47% and if you use the bonus buy feature this increases further to 97.01%.

Thanks to the Megaways engine, no spins are the same as they are randomly determined with the cascading sequence which will land 2 to 7 symbols on reels one and six and a further two to six symbols on reels two and five. The slot is also complete with a horizontal reel with four different positions which is found located at the top of the gaming screen, and this extends from your 2nd to your 5th reel and means that symbols can appear with every spin .

Wins are created by landing two to six matching symbols starting from left to right, the symbols from any winning combinations will explode and new symbols then drop down from above into their place, this continues all the time that you land a winning combination following a cascade.

The slot is complete with 10 regular symbols beginning with the usual card playing symbols 9 through to Ace and these will reward you with x1, x2 or x5 your stake when you manage to land 6 f a kind. These winning symbols are followed by Hera, Athena, Ares, and Zeus. Landing six of these will reward you with wins that range from x2 to x250 your bet. The wild in this game will only appear in the horizontal reel, and this can substitute for all the regular symbols to create winning combinations. The lightning Bolt from Zeus is the games scatter, and the gold coin with a Greek helmet is the games mystery symbol.

Theme and Design

The theme of this slot is very well executed and sees you ascending to the Acropolis whilst the game loads. The background of your reels is a Parthenon which is set against a rocky hillside. The four Greek gods and goddesses rule the reels and unleash some superb animation when they provide you with winning combinations.

Bonus Features

If you are familiar with Buffalo Rising Megaways, you will have a good idea of what to expect from this slot. This is because it has identical features and pays, right down to the buy option with the main difference between the two being the free spins selector.
Most of the bigger wins in any Blueprint Gaming Megaways slot are down to the mystery symbols which can appear at random on any reels on any spin in either the base game and or the free spins. When this happens, a common symbol is revealed, and this can include the highest payer and when the reels have stopped the highest win is calculated. Keep in mind though that these symbols cannot be turned into the wild or scatter symbols.

If you get lucky and hit the minimum four scatters at the end of a spin you will trigger the bonus feature selector. This takes the game into a second screen where there are four options for the free spins, each with a different volatility. Landing more than four scatters on the activating spin will reward you with additional free spins. The following explains the rewards that you can win when you land 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters.

The first choice when it comes to the free spins is to opt for the extreme volatility whereby you will be rewarded with 5, 6, 7 or 8 free spins which are accompanied by a three times multiplier which increases by three times after every win. The high volatility level provides you with 10, 12, 14 or 16 free spins with a starting multiplier of times 2 which increases by times 2 after every win. The medium volatility will provide you with 15, 19, 23 or 27 free spins with a onetime starting multiplier which increases by one after each win. Finally, there is the mystery choice where you are awarded with a random combination of all the three above. If you are lucky you will get 15 free spins with a times three starting multiplier, or if you are unlucky you will only uncover 5 free spins and a onetime starting multiplier.

Bonus Round

Once you have selected your option or revealed the mystery choice the game starts with the bonus round complete with the respective amount of free spins and multipliers. The mystery symbol can also make an appearance on any of your reels in the free spins. When playing this feature, the scatters will only appear on the horizontal reel and three or more will award you with extra free spins with no limits to the amount that can be won.

Unsurprisingly, Blueprint Gaming having included the buy feature function which is becoming quite common in their games of late. Should you wish to use this feature it will cost you 100x your stake and you can then hit the divine bonus bet button prior to your spins starting and you will be guaranteed to land four scatters on your following spin. This takes you through to the same feature selection and the game continues.

Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed playing Legacy of the Gods Megaways and whilst the Blueprint Gaming have not been known to release clones of their games, they do however have a habit of producing similar group games which have enough differences to make them stand alone. This slot offers players solid action with plenty of features and the chance to go head to head with the Greek gods with the added potential to win from 50x to 50,000x your bet.
