Ancients’ Blessing Slot Review

Ancients’ Blessing Slot Overview

Red Tiger Gaming's March 2021 release, Ancients’ Blessing, is a fantasy-themed slot that lets multiple distinguished creatures of myth and legend share the spotlight.

The latest in Red Tiger's Dragon's Fire series, this slot has Dragons, Cerebus, Gorgon, Hydra and what we believe is a Gryphon.

Beyond the fantasy theme, this 5x4 slot has novel but relatively limited features and unusually doesn't have a Wild symbol or a Free Spins Bonus round.

Instead, they have chosen to make the headline feature of their slot the locked symbols feature. Combining this with an Accumulating Multiplier creates more chances to win big.

If you use the locked symbol feature and rack up a 20x Multiplier or higher, you'll be in with a shot of the maximum payout of 2175x.

Slot enthusiasts responded well to Red Tiger's older dragon-themed slots, so this slight twist to both theme and game mechanics is an interesting experiment by the developer.

Personally, we think they've slightly missed the mark on this one, but there are plenty of good talking points too, so check out the review and see what you think!

It's great that Red Tiger is trying something different outside the standard Bonus Free Spins round you see in every other game. Honestly, we think they're on to something, but the low max win and simple gameplay make it a bit underwhelming. This slot is still worth a few spins for the novelty or if you enjoy the beautifully executed fantasy theme, but it is unlikely to become your favourite slot.

How To Play Ancients’ Blessing Slot

Before you start playing this 5×4 slot, you'll need to decide your stake size.

You can choose between £0.10 and £40 per spin.

To get a win, you will need to land three or more matching symbols on one of the 30 active paylines.

Symbols

The low-paying symbols are coloured gem versions of the four card suits.

These are Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades, from the lowest to the highest value.

Spades are worth 36x for five-of-a-kind.

The high-paying symbols are the five mythical creatures.

These are Hydra, Cerberus, Gorgon, Gryphon and Dragon from the lowest to the highest value.

The Dragon symbol is the most valuable and is worth 75x for five-of-a-kind.

There are no Wild symbols in this game to help make winning combos, nor are there Scatters to take you to a Bonus round.

Still, even without these, there are plenty of chances to win, thanks to the two main features.

Ancients’ Blessing Slot Features

The maximum payout in the game is 2175x your stake which can be achieved by building a large multiplier in the Locked Ancient's feature.

There are neither Bonuses nor Free Spins rounds in Ancients' Blessing; instead, you'll have to look forward to two features for big wins and exciting gameplay.

Locked Ancients Feature

When you land a winning combination with one of the five high-paying symbols, they will remain locked in position while the other symbols re-spin.

You will also be awarded a 2x Multiplier.

The Multiplier increases by 1x for each subsequent cascading win.

Multiple high-value winning combinations can be locked in position at the same time.

Ancient Supremacy Feature

This randomly triggering feature will remove all of the low-paying symbols from your screen and replace them with high-value symbols.

All subsequent cascades will also include high-paying symbols, and the feature only resets when no more wins are made.

Ancients’ Blessing Slot RTP & Volatility

It's a high volatility game with a return to player of 94.5%, which means the wins might not come in that often, but they're on the bigger side.

Unfortunately, because Ancients' Blessing isn't a particularly high rtp slot but still has high volatility and a relatively low max win, this slot's payout potential does leave a lot to be desired.

This combination is indisputably the biggest weakness of the slot and something we hope Red Tiger Gaming will learn from.

Ancients’ Blessing Slot on Mobile

Ancients' Blessing is a mobile-friendly game that can be played on all iOS and Android mobile devices.

It responds to different screen sizes, letting you play from your laptop or tablet device with the best experience possible.

Graphics and Theme

The graphics, theme and soundtrack are exactly what you'd expect for a fantasy-themed slot.

Red Tiger is known for going all out on audiovisuals, and they haven't let their standards slip in the Ancients' Blessing online slot.

The gorgeous artwork is consistent whether you're looking at the background, mythical creatures that make up the symbols or the animations.

Similarly, the music adjusts well across gameplay, providing a sense of mystery and drama at the right moments, just like an epic soundtrack for a fantasy movie like Lord of the Rings.

Overall, while the theme is relatively common, we have nothing but praise for the graphics and visuals. It does make us wish the rest of the game got the same treatment, though!
