Age of Discovery is an online video slot produced by Microgaming that takes players back in time to an era when life was perhaps more exhilarating, especially for those that traveled the world in search of new frontiers. It was a period that dates back to the 15th until the 17th century and it describes the time when European explorers wandered the world’s seas and planted their nation’s flags on beaches everywhere.

Age of Discovery has 25 paylines spread out over five reels and the featured symbols are a wide range of items belonging to that age and those journeys.

Before setting off to explore unknown lands, players must first adjust their bets. Pressing +/- in the lower left corner controls the coin size, ranging from 0.01 to 2, while “Select Coins” alters the number of coins at stake. The number of paylines is selected by pressing “Select Lines”. “Spin” gets the game started while "Bet Max" automatically wagers the maximum sum, prompting the reels to start spinning. To play for a number of times without any pauses, players need to click “Expert” and then “Auto Play”.

When it comes to aesthetics, Age of Discovery proves to be a very pleasant game to look at. Even though the reel symbols are illustrated as two-dimensional cartoon-like illustrations, the general vibe of this online slot is bright and vibrant, mimicking the sense of buoyancy that goes hand in hand with exploratory adventures around the world.

In addition, players will be able to hear the lapping of waves and creaking of wood, bringing them back in time and placing them aboard the Santa Maria itself.

Age of Discovery vividly embraces the spirit of exploration with its lively and bold game screen and generous treasure hunt bonus game. With a 2D design, this Microgaming slot machine will not blow your senses away, but it is definitely worth a spin if you prefer tinkering with some historical adventures that have decent winning potential.

This is pretty standard fare that does look a little dated but it seems fairly easy to trigger the bonus feature, which is always great for punters. It is recommended that players leave the sound on to get the ambience right.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

Players will see exotic foods such as avocados, mangoes, pomegranates, bananas, and papayas, all of which can be found symbolized on the reels of this slot machine.

Other symbols include a sextant navigational device, a coat of arms and Christopher Columbus' sailing vessel, the Santa Maria ship which bears the Holy Red Cross upon its sails.

There are also a couple of special icons that appear on the game's reels such as a hand-drawn serpent which functions as the games scatter, a golden coin which is the wild symbol and a compass that will trigger a bonus game whenever three or more appear on the reels in any position.

BONUS ROUNDS

Treasure Bonus

There’s only one bonus feature included in this game and to trigger it you’ll need to land three, four or five of the compass scatter symbols anywhere on the reels.

You will next be taken to a treasure map that shows a lot of little crosses (‘X’ marks the spot of course) and all you have to do is keep selecting those crosses to uncover your prize’s amount.

There are also a number of skull and crossbones under the crosses and when you find one of these the round is over. You are awarded the total winnings but you will also receive a small prize that is shown when the log book on the left opens up.
