Ancient Wonders Slots

Ancient-WondersAncient Wonders is a game which chooses to focus on the wonders left behind by civilizations that are long gone now, but which managed to create truly astonishing buildings and statues, using the limited technology and knowledge that was available to them at the time. Some of them are no longer standing right now, but I’m sure you know at least one example, the Pyramids of Egypt. Nuworks is the developer that created this game.

You’re going to get plenty of chances to win prizes in Ancient Wonders, as it has 50 lines that can have wins for you each round. Free spins, scatter symbols, bonus games, multipliers and wilds, these are the main features. As for the prizes, they give you up to $5,000, or one of the progressive jackpots.

Features of Ancient Wonders

Once Ancient Wonders loads, and you start spinning its reels, what you can expect from it is a collection which includes wild symbols, scatters, a bonus game and free spins with up to 7x multipliers.

There are two symbols which have extra abilities in this game, both of them typical for a modern slot machine. One is the wild Scroll, the other is the scattered Gold Coin.

The Scroll is the one that has the power to substitute for other symbols, which happens when by mixing together both matching regular icons and wilds, on the same payline, you get at least three symbols going from the left to the right. Wilds can substitute for all symbols, with the exception of the Gold Coin scatters. The reels 2, 3 and 4 are capable of getting wild Scrolls on them.

The Gold Coin has the image of Zeus on it and is capable of acting as a scatter, awarding prizes based on the total number of such icons which are present, not on their position on a certain line. You will get paid 1x to 200x the wager when two to five Coins are on the reels.

7 Wonders Free Games

The scattered Coins are the ones that get the free spins started. You receive 7 free spins when 3+ Coins are present anywhere on the 5 reels. Each spin gets a different multiplier, starting at 1x for the first spin, 2x for the second, and so on, until you get to the seventh spin, which has a 7x multiplier.

You can retrigger the free games up to three times, each time getting the same 1x to 7x multipliers for the 7 free spins.

Ancient Wonders Bonus Game

The Scroll wild can trigger a bonus game in this slot, but for that to happen you first need the symbol to be on all three reels on which it can appear (2nd, 3rd and 4th).

A new screen will load, with a map on which you can see the 7 Ancient Wonders displayed. You make picks there, 3 of them being possible, and up to 100x the bet is awarded to you each time you do this. You can also win up to 4 additional bonus picks.

Betting options and jackpots

The line bet’s range is from $0.01 to $1, and that’s the possible value of a coin as well. With 50 lines used by the slot, the bets will only go up to $50.

The game’s top prizes will offer you 5,000 coins, which is a decent amount since they are worth $5,000. There are alternatives in the form of progressive jackpots, but they are triggered at random.

Design and symbols

The look of Ancient Wonders is just what you would expect from a game themed around the Roman Empire, so it looks less Greek than you might expect. There is marble and columns in the background, as you are shown the interior of some large building or temple. On the reels, the decorated slabs of stone have symbols which consist either of the ancient wonders or of simple poker cards.

Symbols: Scroll (wild), Gold Coin (scatter, 200x the bet), Zeus Statue (5,000 coins), Rhodos Statue (2,5000 coins), Hanging Gardens (1,000 coins), Pyramids (1,000 coins), Lighthouse of Alexandria (500 coins), Temple of Artemis (500 coins), Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (500 coins), Ace (200 coins), King (200 coins), Queen (100 coins), Jack (100 coins) and 7 (100 coins).

Is It Worth Playing?

The game has its own pros, and you can expect plenty of wins as you play since you have so many lines active. The history angle is one that I enjoyed as well, especially since I haven’t seen the 7 wonders of the Ancient world in other slots.

This Ancient Wonders slot is offered by all online casinos with NuWorks software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
