Mercy of The Gods is one of my favorite games, and one that I actually hit the Mega Jackpot on for around $138,000. I hit that jackpot on BetRivers in 2023 on Level 10 and the $0.50 denomination, which is $100. However, the normal Mega jackpot winner on many sites is usually around $1-2 bet per spin. Small bets usually perform better on Mercy of the Gods and its sister game Divine Fortune.
The game measures five reels by three rows, with 20 win lines available. Stakes start at 0.20 and can go up to $100 or more. This is adjusted by selecting your level of play on a scale of 1-10, and setting your coin value between 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.50, meaning there are up to 60 combinations available. Some casinos offer additional coin values of 1.00, 2.50, and 5.00, which lead to even more potential combinations.
Bonus Features
The two main features on Mercy of The Gods are the Free Spins feature and the Gift of Wealth bonus game (Progressive Jackpot Chance).
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing three, four, or five scatter symbols. This will reward you with five, eight, or 12 free spins. This bonus has expanding wilds to boost your chances of a big payout. If a wild icon appears on the screen, it automatically expands upward and downward. There is no possibility to retrigger inside the bonus round.
The second type of bonus is the Gift of Wealth bonus, which gives you a chance at winning the huge Progressive Jackpot. This bonus activates when collecting three or more of the Golden Heart bonus symbols. This will trigger three re-spins with the three or more coins held in place. If more coins appear, it resets back to three spins to give you more chances at the jackpot.
The goal of the Gift of Wealth bonus game is to have a complete row of coins to release one of three potential jackpots. One row will award you the minor jackpot, which returns 20x your stake paying out between $4 and $2,000. Two rows will give you the major jackpot which returns 100x your stake, paying out between $20 and $10,000.
If you fill all three rows, this will trigger the Mega Jackpot which awards the winner the progressive jackpot. This pays out a minimum of $10,000 even on the smallest stake.
