Mercy of the Gods Slot

The developers take us back to ancient Egypt once more, and like always, the graphics of the game are magnificently crafted. The symbols have high coefficients, resulting in a win of 160 000 coins (1600x the total bet) in one single spin and reaching even higher numbers whenever a lucrative bonus feature is activated.

The ‘Gift of Life’ Re-spins is a profitable feature, which keeps on re-triggering the re-spins as long as Wilds are on the grid. Replicating this feature from the Divine Fortune game constitutes the current slot as a copy – only the paytable and some small metrics in the math model have been tweaked by the team of producers.

The Wild feature is also active during Free Spins, so huge payouts are guaranteed. Most notably – the game has 3x Jackpots: 2x In-game (fixed) and 1x Progressive Local.

This slot has High Volatility with an RTP of 96.64%. The RTP allows obtaining a positive mathematical expectation of winning in the casino. You can give it a try for free in the DEMO version right here on our page. No registration is needed.

Review and recommendations about the Mercy of the Gods slot by the testing team

• We were eagerly waiting for the clone of Divine Fortune to be released since that’s one of NetEnt’s most popular slots and one of our favourites. The Mercy of the Gods doesn’t disappoint in any way once you realize that there’s a difference in the score of payments for the high-value symbols. This updated sequel of Divine Fortune gives you bigger payouts on them. This immediately affects the frequency of Free Spins, Jackpots, and the number of extended Wild symbols given randomly.
• In general, the payouts here are similar to the game predecessor. Overall, you can’t win more than a few times the bet and the occasional bigger payout, 20x-60x, when scoring a higher-paid combination. However, the potential of hitting those bigger winnings is higher here, and during our testing sessions, we got 120x-140x total bets several times. Unfortunately, the slot often makes long series of empty spins or gives just a tiny win now and then. This can result in big losses of funds while waiting to hit the Free Spins or some awesome combinations with ‘Gift of Life’ Re-spins.
• You need to land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols to trigger the Free Spins. This will launch 5, 8, or 12 Free Spins, respectively. In addition, the ‘Gift of Life’ Re-spins is featured and always appear on full reels, which is basically the main attraction of the Free Spins. To top it off, you also get the chance to win additional Free Spins.
• You need some patience because it can take up to several hundred spins before you finally trigger the Free Spins, unlike Divine Fortune. They are usually also not triggered in series. During our sessions, it only occurred once that we obtained them two times virtually, one after the other. Average wins of 80x-160x total bets hugely reward the waiting. Our maximum win was 800x the bets, and only once we were disappointed by a measly 40x the bets.
• Collecting 3 Bonus symbols during the regular game and the ‘Gift of Life’ Re-spins will trigger the ‘Gift of the Wealth’ jackpot, which is completely saved. Every Bonus symbol has a coin value of 10x-200x the bet, and if a line is filled with Bonus symbols, you are rewarded with the Jackpot. 1 line gets you the Minor, 2 lines the Major, and finally, the Mega Jackpot is rewarded for the entire field. This usually happens in the player’s dreams.
• We noticed that at 20 coins, the Minor Jackpot was rewarded frequently while hitting the Major Jackpot only occurred twice during our extensive sessions.
• Ornamented golden emblems represent the Wild symbols and are triggered during the regular game and the Free Spins. They don’t substitute Scatters and Bonus symbols, but they bring the ‘Gift of Life’ Re-spins, which saved us many times from hitting rock bottom. Re-spins are launched, and any Wild symbol on the screen moves down one position until they disappear from the reels.

How to win at the Mercy of the Gods slot machine? (Conclusion)

• Our main recommendation is to keep on repeating every time: Always test the slot in free DEMO mode before investing your capital.
• The mercy of the Gods is not recommended for playing bonus money, and playing with real money, we suggest using medium distances of spins. It rarely occurs that this slot shows its full potential over a short distance of spins, while longer ones will leave you with a big balance loss. Using the progressive bet strategy is also not recommendable. If you want to give this slot a try, the distance of spins should not exceed 250-300, and in general, we don’t recommend playing progressive slots at all.
