3 Tiny Gods Bonanza

3 Tiny Gods Bonanza: Slot Overview

3 Tiny Gods was developer Foxium's first foray into the ever-popular Ancient Egyptian slot domain, and the studio has followed up several years later with 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza. For this one, some things have changed, the gameplay, whereas other things have stayed the same, the surface, mostly. However, while 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza plays differently from the original game, many gamblers will likely figure out, rather swiftly, that this is a Gates of Olympus imitator, being a scatter-paying slot with cascading wins, multiplier symbols and free spins with a total multiplier.

Just to repeat ourselves, 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza's visuals haven't drastically moved on from 3 Tiny Gods. This is no bad thing, though, as the original game oozed an easy going, almost cartoon charm that wasn't hard to like, and the Godly characters have returned for this Bonanza version. Foxium has pleasantly produced a version of Ancient Egypt with pyramids, columns, and a deep blue nighted river, making it just as easy to slip into 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza as it was the last time.

Players get a different active gaming area and pay mechanism for 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza, though. The grid utilises 6 columns, 5 rows, and uses scatter pays to create winning combinations, so when 8 or more matching pay symbols are in view, no matter their position, a win is formed. Foxium has kept the volatility on the medium setting, while the default RTP value for 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza is 96.11%. Stake levels range from 20 c to $/€50 per paid spin, and a gamble feature as well as a feature buy is available.

For low pay symbols, 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza lands the 4 card suits, diamonds, clubs, spades, and hearts, then Horus, Bastet, Anubis, a female, and a male character as the highs. A winning combination including 8 matching symbols pays 0.3 to 10 times the bet, while the biggest 12+ combinations are worth 2 to 50 times the bet. Wilds do not appear in this game.

3 Tiny Gods Bonanza: Slot Features

3 Tiny Gods Bonanza relies almost solely on a set of features which have proven their worth several times before in other slots. These are Rolling Reels, multiplier symbols, free spins with a total multiplier, a gamble feature, and a feature buy option.

Rolling Reels

Rolling Reels is the Games Global name for a cascading wins feature. Rolling Reels removes the symbols which were part of winning combinations and drops symbols down to fill the gaps. Rolling Reels repeats until no new win is formed. Horus, as part of the Horus Blessing feature, holds a parchment to the side of the reels, displaying the details for each win without multipliers applied.

Anubis Multiplier

Multiplier symbols land on the reels in the base game and in the free spins round. Anubis reveals multiplier symbol values of x2 to x500 if a win occurred. In the base game, when a Rolling Reels sequence ends, the total of all multiplier symbols in view is added up and applied to the total win.

Free Spins

Scatters appear on any reel in the base game and in free spins. Hitting 4, 5, or 6 scatters awards 15 free spins on top of a payout of 3x, 5x, or 100x the bet, respectively. When 3 scatters hit, the Gift of Bastet feature may charm some of the symbols into Mystery symbols, which may reveal extra scatters. When a win multiplier symbol appears at the same time as a winning combination in free spins, Anubis adds the multiplier symbol values to the Total Win Multiplier. The Total Win Multiplier is applied to all wins for the duration of the round when a multiplier symbol is also on the screen. Landing 3 or more scatters during the round grants +5 extra free spins.

Gamble & Feature Buy

Players may use the gamble feature to attempt entering free spins. This takes place on a red and green segmented reel – landing on green awards free spins. It is possible to increase or decrease the size of the green segment, thereby changing the cost of the game. Or, the buy feature is where players may buy 15 free spins for the cost of 75 times their bet.

3 Tiny Gods Bonanza: Slot Verdict

That was… pretty predictable really. Barely a week seems to go by without a studio somewhere trying to leap onto the scatter-paying craze by copying the alpha of the genre, Gates of Olympus. Pragmatic Play hit an unbelievably rich vein when it came up with Gates, and the formula has proven so successful, so irresistible, that repeated uses of it, in one form or another, constantly reappear, whether from the Prag team itself or from one of its many admirers.

Foxium is another design team keen to get in on the action, and its version, 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza, was a fairly decent one to review. The looks which made the first game stand out have wisely kept the same spirit, so where Ancient Egypt games can oftentimes come across as serious affairs, 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza has a more playful side. In 3 Tiny Gods, each God was assigned its own feature they were able to trigger. Perhaps it might have been interesting if this had carried over to 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza, but Foxium has decided to stick closer to Gates, so only Bastet really gets a 'new' feature. It was neat, though, that Foxium has linked all 3 Gods to various aspects of the game. This has been done in a mostly ceremonial way, rather than giving every God hands-on specific custom-made modifiers not seen in Gates or which wouldn't have been there anyway.

With that, gamblers have an Ancient Egyptian-themed Gates of Olympus slot to get their hands on. It might not be as volatile as some might prefer, but apart from this, 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza produces just about everything else someone asking for an Ancient Egyptian version of Gates could ask for, including comparable winning potential of up to 5,000x the bet.
