Slot Review: Age of Discovery

When European explorers set out to circumnavigate the globe for the first time in the fifteenth century, they had certain ideas about what they would find. In ferreting out the swiftest route to the New World, they were hoping to establish faster trade routes to equip the continent with precious spices, as well as stockpiles of fresh gold. Not all these adventurers found what they were looking for, but their discoveries have still proven essential to the epoch of culinary innovations in the Western world. Age of Discovery is an online slot machine game by Microgaming.

Age of Discovery is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot machine game. Coin values start at one cent, and go up to fifty cents. Max coins is set at two hundred fifty, making the maximum per-spin bet one of one hundred twenty-five dollars. There is a fixed jackpot of six thousand coins, or three thousand dollars. This is a jackpot that pays out often, so don’t let the comparatively small size of it get you down!

Toothsome images of mangoes, papaya, bananas, and avocados – fruits that were discovered for the first time when explorers reached the Americas – fill the reels. You will also see a royal crest, a compass, and some navigational tools. This game features wild and scatter symbols, as well as a bonus gamble game in which you can stake your prize for multiplied booty by picking over an array of treasures for the items that are worth the most gold! All in all, strong theming and smooth gameplay make Age of Discovery a slot game not to be missed!
