Mercy of the Gods
Intro
Swedish developer NetEnt in the summer of 2019 added a new product - Mercy of the Gods - to its range of progressive jackpot machines. The machine doesn't hand out huge winnings unlike Mega Fortune or Hall of Gods, but more like Divine Fortune. If you are a fan of Divine and at the same time like Books, you will surely like this machine.
General description
The slot machine Mercy of the Gods refers gamblers to the theme of Ancient Egypt. It has 20 fixed lines, a betting range from €0.2 to €100 and a 5x3 playing field, while the payout percentage is almost identical to Divine Fortune's 96.64% (96.59% for Fortune). A more detailed review of the machine is on our site.
The name can be literally translated as "Mercy of the Gods" or "Mercy of the Gods". This one-armed bandit utilizes a local network jackpot. This means that the MEGA amount is formed from the contributions of one casino, or casinos of the same grid. Therefore, you should not expect to win six-figure sums here, as in its prototype (Divine Fortune).
The developer NetEnt introduced the online slot Mercy of the Gods in July 2019. Already by the fall, the device appeared in a number of popular online casinos. In particular, the title was added to the PlayFortuna catalog.
Already in the first six months of "work" the machine gave out several jackpots over 100,000 euros.The biggest win in 2019 was recorded at online casino Bet-at-Home - 209,699 euros. There was no information about winning the Mega jackpot in Russian-language casinos in 2019. But on overseas sites it was ripped off quite regularly (primarily at Mr. Green and Bet at Home).
Jackpot amount Mercy of the Gods
In Mercy of the Gods jackpots come in three levels:
- Minor - fixed, 20x of the bet;
- Major - fixed, 100x of the bet;
- Mega - local network, formed from deductions from the bet of players in one casino or in the grid.
What exactly percentage goes to the MEGA jackpot fund is not known exactly. Most likely it's 3-4% (some sources cite a figure of 3.75%) depending on the operator. At the time of writing the review, no one has won in this machine the amount of more than 210 000 euros. The average win in the first year of the machine's operation amounted to 127,000 euros.
Jackpot slot machines
This one-armed bandit is almost exactly the same as NetEnt's flagship title - Divine Fortune: the same number of lines, almost identical payout ratio, network jackpot structure.
What are the chances of hitting the Mercy of the Gods jackpot ?
There is no exact data on the chances of a player to hit the MEGA jackpot during a random spin. Experimentally found that it takes an average of about 80 spins to open the jackpot game.Jackpot rules
To claim to win the jackpot in the slot must open the bonus jackpot game. It is activated when three special bonus symbols (a special golden artifact) appear on the playing field.
The collected symbols are randomly placed on a 5x3 field. The player gets three free spins at the start of the bonus round. If the bonus symbol falls out again during the spin, the round continues and the gambler has three spins left in reserve. The game continues until the zeroing of the "counter" spins. Conditions for winning each of the jackpots:
- If one horizontal bar is collected - Minor (20x);
- If two horizontal bars are collected - Major (100x);
- If the entire playing field is filled with special symbols - Mega.
Each "open" symbol in the jackpot game also gives an additional win.
