Mercy of the Gods Slot
NetEnt came out with the Mercy of the Gods slot in May 2019, with this particular release brandishing a theme inspired by Egyptian gods and temple explorers. Over the years, the developers behind this title have been known for experimenting with the design of their online slots, with this being no different with the title at hand. Besides its distinctive aesthetic, the Mercy of the Gods slot also comes with a series of inventive mechanics, including respins, sticky wilds, and expanding symbol features.
Mercy of the Gods Game Design
An open entrance to a giant Egyptian temple serves as the backdrop in the Mercy of the Gods slot, with two black jackal statues sitting on stone stabs on either side of the screen. Behind the reels, multiple stone pillars, many of which have blue and orange patterns on them, can be seen, as well as various palm trees that stretch back towards some colossal pyramids in the distance. Thanks to this type of setting being used, the aesthetic in the Mercy of the Gods slot shares similarities to some other genre entrants, including Anubis Wild Megaways and [Cleopatra Grand}(https://playstar.com/games/cleopatra-grand).
Mercy of the Gods Mechanics
The general design of the Mercy of the Gods slot is not too different from many online casino games today, fronting a playgrid that is 5x3 in size. Some striped divides sit between each of the blue-tinted columns, across which there are a total of 20 paylines working from left to right. Sitting atop this playgrid are the Minor, Major, and Mega jackpots, whilst all of the game controls, including the hieroglyphic-inscribed spin button, are found underneath the playtable.
At the same time, NetEnt has also made sure that the Mercy of the Gods slot can be accessed across multiple play methods without there being any downgrades in quality. This is thanks to the HTML5 software supporting this release, allowing titles to resize automatically to different screen dimensions at PlayStar Casino. This is possible on smartphones, tablets, and computers, as long as one of these devices is connected to the internet.
Mercy of the Gods Bonus Features
Although some of the bonus symbols in the Mercy of the Gods slot may be familiar, these could potentially introduce several nuanced modifiers to this title if they are landed.
Wild Symbols
As is standard for most wilds today, the shuwt fan symbols may take the place of other base game symbols across the 20 paylines in the Mercy of the Gods slot, due to their substituting characteristics. However, on any spin of the reels that features a shuwt fan icon, the ‘Gift of Life Respins’ feature might be triggered at random. In this, the wild moves down one row before triggering a respin of all other reels, with this continuing until the wild drops off the bottom of the playgrid. Should a wild land on the same column as the moving wild in the respins, though, this could cause that entire reel to become a fully stacked wild.
Mercy of the Gods Free Spins
In the case that 3, 4, or 5 of the golden Horus eye scatters are landed at the same time, this could trigger 5, 8, or 12 free spins in the Mercy of the Gods slot. In this bonus round, any shuwt fans that may land expand to fill the entirety of their reel, similar to the bonus seen in Starburst.
Gift of Wealth Jackpot Feature
When it comes to the golden heart coins in the Mercy of the Gods slot, they could carry random prize multipliers valued between 10x and 200x. If 4 or more appear in view at the same time, this could trigger a respin round in which all triggering coins lock in place, whilst 3 respins are added to the player's total. In these respins, if any new heart coins land, they also become sticky before reverting the respin amount back to its starting number. After all respins end, any coins in view might be collected, similar to Hen Heist Hold & Win. However, if 1, 2, or 3 rows are filled by these heart coins, the Minor, Major, or Mega jackpot could be triggered.
