About Age of Akkadia

Played across 5 reels and incorporating the cascading reels mechanic, it’s available on desktop and mobile devices from 10p up to £40 per spin. The slot comes with a medium to high variance and RTP is set at a slightly below average 95.67% with a top prize of 2,048.8x the total bet on a spin.Two huge, impressive stone animal statues sit on either side of the reels with a large pyramid or palace in the background. The graphics are extremely high quality including stylised symbols, these include royal card suits representing low values, 3 animal head statues, the most lucrative being the golden Akkadian Emperor rewarding 5x for 5 on a payline.

Gameplay

After a successful combination lands on the reels, the symbols fall away and are replaced by new symbols, this continues until no more winning combinations appear on the reels.If the winning combination you land contains high-value symbols, all barring the symbol in the middle of the combination are removed and the middle position transforms into a wild for the next cascade.You’ll notice the bottom three rows show the words BONUS, if you create a cascade and this contains the letters in the word, you’ll trigger 10 free spins. If you reveal BONUS again the free spins retriggers.On each of the free spins, a hidden multiplier can land, as many as 3 can appear and the values are combined to boost your win, this can reach 10x. An additional multiplier is also combined during the bonus feature which can result in up to 30x.

Verdict

The design and theme of Age of Akkadia are rather unique compared to many slots inspired by ancient civilisations. The bonus features and cascading reels combine well to provide solid gameplay and a top win of 2,048x the total bet on a spin.
