New Microgaming Mythological Online Slot

0 Comments   Email   Print

There are many online slot games based on Greek mythology but none as good as the latest Microgaming offering titled Jason and the Golden Fleece. Most mythology themed slots cover the subject superficially or try to portray a wide section of the subject. This new slot game picks out one mythological story and pursues it closely and in detail. Jason and his companions sailed on the vessel Argo to procure the Golden Fleece. The reels are set in the sail of the ship and the ocean wavers in the background taking players on their personal quest.

Usually online slot games take symbols from mythology but leave it to players to decipher them. Those unfamiliar with the subject find it extremely difficult to do so. In Jason and the Golden Fleece Microgaming has named the characters in the symbols making it easier for players to find out more about them. The symbols include Jason, Medea, Chiron, Argonauts, Argo, Colchis, Sirenum, Crete, Symplegades, Myasia and Iolcus. The Golden Fleece awards scatter payouts and the Jason and the Golden Fleece logo is the wild symbol that awards 10 free spins at tripled payouts. The larger paying symbols show excellent animations during the winning combinations. The Argo is seen rocking and rolling on the oceans. Medea is actually a sorceress and in the animation she is seen preparing a magic potion.

The highlight of Jason and the Golden Fleece is the six level bonus game that is triggered by three or more Golden Fleece symbols appearing on the reels. Each time the feature is triggered the Argo will travel to the next location on the map. To complete the quest the feature will have to be triggered six times.

The Shield Bonus is played at the starting point Iolcus, from where the Argonauts set off. Players have to pick six out of 12 shields to earn mystery bonuses. Mysia is the land of the Harpies. Here players have to match four of the same elements to find the multiplier that will be applied to their winnings. Symplegades is where ships usually get wrecked but the Argonauts found a way out. In the bonus the players have to pick an item. If they do not like the prize they can ask for a change, but only twice. The third time is for keeps. In Crete the giant Talos spins the wheel and the players win the prize it awards. They can get up to five spins. The Sirenum Card Bonus is the most lucrative bonus of all. Players first play a high low game and then try for a poker hand. Colchis is the land of the Golden Fleece, which is guarded by a dragon. Players pick a potion and the longer the dragon sleeps the larger is the bonus.

Jason and the Golden Fleece is live at all Microgaming online casinos. CasinoAdvisor recommends Platinum Play, River Belle, All Slots and Golden Riviera.
