Forge of the Gods Slot Review

A forge is a furnace where metal is heated and shaped by hammering, pressing, or other means of deformation. Do you know what else needs a good hammering? My homie Fred. 🔨

Yeah, spare a thought for the poor dude; he’s been single for three years since his last babe broke his heart. And he’s been too scared to plunge back into the dating pool so he’s been resorting to – let’s call it – digital manipulation. 👋🧴

But it doesn’t seem to take the edge off because Fred’s always angry. Like, he’ll explode over the smallest thing. I think I’ll stand a GoF**kMe page for him because I can’t take the abuse any more. 😢

Unfortunately, there was more abuse coming my way in Forge of the Gods slot from 1x2 Gaming because what the marketing material said vs what reality showed, was not the same thing.

Gameplay

OK so there isn’t a forge in sight with this game, but there’s enough lava and molten rock to kinda set the scene. And you’ll see Zeus and two sexy mamacita goddesses, along with Thor’s hammer, as the high-paying symbols.

Thor himself is the Wild symbol and he replaces all non-special symbols, while a volcano jizzing hot stuff is the Scatter.

With 10 paylines, an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. of 96.35%, and a high volatility rate, Forge of the Gods slot certainly appears to be the business. The goodness is let down a little by the top prize, which is “only” €110,000 (remember the volatility rate, folks). As for the largest multiplier, that’s 5,500x.

The form of cheddar you’ll need to play with is limited to fiat currency.

And how does Forge of the Gods slot look on a phone? I’m glad you asked. It’s better in landscape mode, as the 5x3-reel grid can expand a little sideways. Portrait mode is doable but not ideal; especially if your eyesight ain’t 20/20.

Features

Both the Free Spins and Bonus Re-spins features require Scatters to make them happen.

BONUS RE-SPIN FEATURE:

Landing 2 Scatters awards this feature with 1 Re-spin. You’ll score wins here using symbols on a Collection Panel and via regular line wins.

Let’s talk about the former for a bit. Before the round starts, 3 to 9 symbols will be randomly chosen and highlighted – you’ll see them displayed in a column to the left of the grid.

If a matching symbol lands on a winning payline, it will stack across the reel it’s on and trigger a big win.

You’ll trigger this feature once in every 60 spins.

FREE SPINS:

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters awards 8, 10, or 12 spins respectively. Each time a symbol lands on a winning payline, it’ll get highlighted (so no symbols are chosen at the start, as is the case with the Re-spins feature).

If a further win is triggered with this highlighted symbol, it will then expand across the reels and trigger big wins.

You’ll trigger this feature once in every 191 spins.

So, in essence, the above two features are very similar with the only difference being that symbols are chosen before the time for the Re-spins round.

Performance

The gods were hammering their asses off for hundreds of spins while I tested their mettle. And I’m happy to report that there’s nothing to report. At least in the way of negatives.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at €0.10 on Forge of the Gods slot, and is capped at €20. The largest multiplier you can clinch is 5,500x and the top prize is an underwhelming €110,000, given the volatility rate.

Conclusion

So here’s the problem: I was skeptical after reading the hit rates for the two features, because it seemed to take so much longer than what was quoted, and decided to test it for myself.

As it turns out, I didn’t land a single Re-spin in 120 spins – that’s double what the studio claimed! It only kicked in 3 spins later. And that fact soured me towards this game in one fell swoop. Not that I was particularly enamored by it in the first place.

The base game is seriously dull and there are these super lengthy stretches where nothing happens. And then there’s the sub-par max win on a highly-volatile game.

But unless I’m misreading or missing something, it seems to me that we’ve been misled. And that doesn’t sit well with me.
