Age of Discovery Slot machine review

Age of Discovery

Age of Discovery is a 5 reel, 25 payline video Slot that is brought to you from Microgaming. It adds a scatter symbol, wild symbol and bonus game into the mix to get you started towards having a great time spinning the reels and hitting the top payout of $30,000!

Age of discovery includes some nice graphics in each of the symbols for this slot game. The theme is based around a nautical theme that has you revelling in the history and romance that was once the discovery of new and exciting places on the planet we call home. As with all great travellers the discovery of new fruits is something to look forward too and Age of Discovery includes bananas, avocados, mangos, starfruit and pomegranates. There are some other symbols such as the sextant, large ship with sails and a coat of arms. The bonus symbols in this video slot include a sea going dragon, gold coin and a ship compass.

The coin size starts at $0.01 and can increase to $0.50 per line. Age of Discovery allows for up to 10 coins to be played per line for a total of 250 coins. This option means the minimum bet per spin, if playing all 25 paylines, is $0.25 per spin and the max would be $125 per spin. This is a good range to offer as it allows layers from all styles the ability to play at a level they are most comfortable with.

Age of Discovery has three different bonus features that it offers. The first of these is the scatter symbol. The scatter symbol will pay whenever 3 or more land in any position across the five reels. If you get 3 scatters you will win 5 times your bet, 4 scatters will pay 20 times and 5 will pay 80 times your triggering bet.

The next is the gold coin as who doesn't love gold! The gold coin acts as the wild in Age of Discovery and will match al symbols with the exception of a scatter symbol. The wild symbol will also pay a extra prize of 3 coins with 2 symbols on an active payline, 50 coins with 3 on an active payline. 500 with 4 and 6000 if you get all 5 on an active payline! This can award you with 60,000 coins if playing 10 coins per line!

The bonus game in Age of Discovery is called the Treasure bonus. This is awarded when three or more of the ships compass symbol appears in any position on the 5 reels. You will be taken to a bonus screen where you are presented with the map of the world. The map will offer you 30 different locations to selection from where you will dig for treasure. All you need to do is keep selecting until such time as you uncover a skull and bonus. For each successful dig you will win a coin reward. The Bonus game can pay up to 32,250 coins!

The only thing left to say is – will you be the one to discover the gold?
