What are our top fantasy and mythology-based Microgaming slots to try?

There is perhaps no subject that has had more slot games devised about it than fantasy and/or mythology. With so many different and overlapping stories across different cultures and different civilisations, these backdrops have provided us with some of the finest slot games over the years.

One thing that is true in the slot gaming industry is that you can never have too many of a good slot, and that also is applicable to having too many of a good slot genre. If a particular genre proves popular with customers, then you can bet slot companies will be falling over themselves to bring you the latest ancient Egypt, Atlantean or ancient Greek mythology slot.

So in this article, we are going to take a look at some of the very best game examples from the fantasy or mythology genres that you can find to play at Casino Rewards Network casinos. This will of course include progressive jackpot slots (there are some absolute crackers in this genre that you won't want to miss out on) as well as more standard games.

We are also going to focus a little more on more modern releases. That is no sleight meant on any of the older slot games from Microgaming that have been superb over the years, but we feel it is perhaps time to look at the myriad of exciting games that have been released, particularly over the last 24-36 months or so.

I have not listed the slots in any particular ranking order, I just feel that each of the games below offers a superb example of the particular genre of game that would appeal to fans who enjoy fantasy or mythology based slots.

So where do we begin? Well for me there is just one place to begin and that is with a couple of Mega Moolah-linked progressive jackpot games that offer stunning game-play and the chance of a jackpot.

Top fantasy and mythology slots

• Atlantean Treasures Mega Moolah

Atlantis has undergone something of a resurgence ein recent times with the advent of the Aquaman films and now the Atlantean Treasures slot. This 10 pay line, win both ways across the reels slot offers this type of game tied in with the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot prizes for the first time. Add to this expanding Wilds on the middle three reels and the chance to win some big money on each spin, if you love 10 pay line, win both way games, then Atlantean Treasures is a game you have got to dive into and play.

• Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah

Based on the famous Alice in Wonderland tale by Lewis Carroll and focused on the Mad Hatter's Tea Party section from the story, the Absolootly Mad slot takes fantasy gaming to a whole new level. A 20- pay line slot with 243 Ways to Win and Rolling Reels and Multiplier Trails in play. The slot also has a fantastic Free Spins bonus round where you can win eight Free Spins and the good news is that Wilds can help you trigger the bonus. With the four Mega Moolah progressive jackpots to chase and triggerable on any spin you land a gold coin, this is a fantastic new addition to the Mega Moolah range that is sure to be a hit with players to come for many years.

• Ancient Warriors

The Ancient Warriors slot is an unusual 4x6 reel game featuring Any Adjacent Pays system which means any three symbols can be anywhere on the reels so long as they are adjacent. There are two types of Wild a standard and Wild Multiplier. Land two Feature symbols on the third fourth or fifth rows and you trigger the Wild Transformation bonus which turns each of the Feature Symbols into Wilds. Add to that the chance to win up to 5 bonus spins, with more to be added if you can land Scatters in the bonus round and you have a slot that captures ancient Chinese mythology quite nicely.

• Goldaur Guardians

Featuring the randomly triggering Hero Spin in the base game, which will see the addition of super-sized symbols to the reels and the chance to win up to 1000x your stake, the Goldaur Guardians slot is an interesting new slot that also features the Hyperspins game mode*. The high volatility slot also has a Free Spins bonus round with potentially unlimited retriggers to level up the Hero Trail and land some sizeable wins.

*One thing to note about this slot is that the Hyperspins feature is not available in all regions, so you may find that the game does not offer it if you are based in some locations (for example, the United Kingdom).

• Arthur's Gold

With the chance to win up to 4,000 times your bet, this King Arthur themed Arthur's Gold slot features many of the characters from Arthurian legend including Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, Viviane and of course, King Arthur himself. Bigger value symbols can be double symbols on the reels, which means up to 10 of a kind wins in the game. You can also win up to 10 Free Spins and also there are two different types of Wilds to help you land wins in the base game. You can also use the Double Up feature to try and double the value of any win up to 5,000.

• Age of Conquest

Developed by Neon Valley Studios, the epic Age of Conquest slot game of two warring factions fighting for conquest features an epic soundtrack and some unusual features, including the ability to collect diamonds on each reel to unlock the Wild Reels bonus, which will turn all reels that have collected two diamonds completely Wild for two wagered spins. There are also three different Free Spins bonus games you can pick from when you trigger the bonus which offers between 2 and 25 Free Spins and between 1 and 3 reels completely Wild on each of those spins.

• Fortress Charge

Our last pick in the list is one of the more unusual fantasy themed 'slots' in the list. I use slots in inverted commas as it plays nothing like a slot game. The Fortress Charge slot game-play is about advancing your hero across the reels to the fortress on the right to claim the prize. On his way, the hero will need to defeat certain villains and pick up additional weapons to help them on their quest. Make it across the reel and they win the prize shown on the fortress!

This is a simple and fun game to play which operates in the same way as a slot but has a very different style of presentation. An ideal option if you fancy something different to spinning reels!

Why not give any of the slots listed above a try? You can always try out some of the older classics too like Thunderstruck II, Avalon and Avalon II and Immortal Romance, all of which fit in the mythology and fantasy theme very nicely and which have been smash hit successes for Microgaming over many years.
