Chosen By The Gods Slot Review
Sunlight pours through high openings into a sandstone temple hall, gold coins spill over the steps, and palm fronds lean against the carved columns. It’s a beautiful room, and Evoplay has hidden almost everything that matters about Chosen By The Gods behind it: the paytable barely pays for the décor, and the game’s real business is a three-level coin collection with four jackpots at the top, the EPIC prize worth 5,000x the bet.
Until that round arrives, you’re spinning a 5×3 grid with 15 fixed paylines for modest line wins, with mid volatility and a 96.04% RTP keeping the grind polite rather than punishing. The studio’s own Piggy Bank: Coinstorm and Honey Royale cover nearby ground, but the level structure here gives the chase a shape of its own.
Symbols, Paylines and the Wild
Nine regular symbols pay left to right across the 15 fixed paylines, and the paytable leans hard on the top of its ladder: the phoenix head is worth more than double anything else, while the royals at the bottom pay pocket change. The full set of five-of-a-kind values runs:
- Red Phoenix head: x2.5 for three, x20 for four, x70 for five
- Blue Anubis head: x2, x15, x30
- Green Snake: x1.5, x10, x20
- Ankh: x1.5, x7, x15
- Eye of Horus: x1, x5, x10
- A and K: x0.5, x1.5, x3
- O cartouche and J: x0.2, x1, x2
Wins are formed in sequence from the leftmost reel, and the more identical symbols land in a row, the bigger the payout. Only the highest combination on each payline counts.
The Wild is an orange phoenix icon that appears only on reels two to five and substitutes for every regular symbol except Cleo and Bonus. In Free Spins it carries multipliers, which is where the symbol does its real work.
Cleo and the Free Spins
Three or more Cleo symbols anywhere in the main game trigger eight Free Spins, played at the bet of the triggering spin. Cleo isn’t a scatter in the usual sense; she’s the round’s engine, and she keeps landing once it’s under way.
Every Cleo that appears during the round does two things at once: it adds one Free Spin, and it increases the multiplier of all Wild symbols by x1. Two or more multipliers in the same winning combination are summed rather than applied separately, so a run of Cleos can turn a modest line win into something much bigger.
It’s a simple loop with real build potential: every Cleo that lands pushes the Wild multipliers up by another x1. A Cleo on the final spin is still worth having, because the extra spin it awards can bring another one with it.
The Bonus Game and the Jackpot Ladder
Six or more Bonus symbols anywhere in the main game trigger the Bonus Game. In the main game those coins carry random values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x or 15x the total bet, or one of the MINI, MEGA and SUPER jackpots, but they only pay once the round begins.
When it starts, the regular symbols fade away and the triggering coins fly to a scoreboard above the reels, which are replaced by special reels holding only Bonus symbols and empty spaces. Each new coin that lands pays its value and joins the scoreboard’s counter, where the running total is displayed alongside the collection count. In the round, coin values run from 0.5x up to 15x the total bet, alongside the same three jackpots.
The structure is three levels, each with a collection target and a spin budget:
- Collect 15 Bonus symbols in Level 1 to unlock Level 2
- Collect 12 in Level 2 to unlock Level 3
- Collect 10 in Level 3 to win the EPIC jackpot
A round starting with six to fourteen triggering symbols begins at Level 1 with three bonus spins. Start with fifteen and you skip straight to Level 2 with six spins on the clock. Each new level resets the counter and adds three more spins, so the round keeps breathing as you climb.
The climb is worth making, because the values inflate as you go: in Level 2 every Bonus symbol value, jackpots included, is doubled, and in Level 3 they’re tripled. The round ends when the spins run out or the EPIC jackpot lands, and it’s played at the triggering bet. Four jackpots are on the table:
- EPIC jackpot: 5,000x the bet
- SUPER jackpot: 300x the bet
- MEGA jackpot: 100x the bet
- MINI jackpot: 30x the bet
Only the EPIC prize needs the full three-level climb. The other three ride on their own symbols and can drop at any level, which keeps even a short round alive.
Bonus Buy
Both features can be bought from the main game, and the prices are fixed multiples of the total bet:
- 8 Free Spins: 35x total bet
- Bonus Game: 47x total bet
The shop opens from the main game only, and the feature you paid for is guaranteed to trigger: the reels deliver three Cleo symbols or six Bonus symbols, and the round then plays out at the bet of the buying spin. Availability varies by market, and the Buy button stays locked while the balance can’t cover the price.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.2/10
Most of your time here is spent waiting in a beautiful room. The base game ticks along on small line wins, and the temple Evoplay built is genuinely lovely to look at, but the real reason anyone sits down at this machine is the climb: a bonus round where every coin you collect pushes you towards a level where everything pays triple.
The Bonus Game is the best thing in it, and it’s not close. Because a new level refreshes the spin count and the coin values, a good round snowballs instead of fizzling, and even the losing rounds tend to end with something. The flat side is everything outside that door: the paytable tops out at 70x for five phoenixes and the MINI jackpot is worth less than the bonus buy costs, so the base game can feel like a corridor between features.
This one suits players who enjoy a long build and don’t mind a quiet spin in between. Anyone who wants the base game itself to pay will find the temple pretty but thin.
