The Age of Discovery is widely regarded as the most important global expeditions in history. Beginning in the 15th Century and running a further 200 years into the 17th with many new lands, cultures and discovered by intrepid explorers. The Age of Discovery video slot celebrates this bygone era with a wide variety of visual referencers and features related to the theme.
Age of discovery Slot Theme
Age of Discovery has a maritime theme as ships were the only method available to Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh and the like to explore the world. The five reels have been created on a sail graphic whilst the buttons beneath have a wooden look to create the allure of a traditional vessels hull.
Reel icons follow a similar seafaring theme with a mixture of artifacts and cargo which would have been discovered and imported by early explorers. These icons include compasses, ships, sextants, coat of arms, avocados, bananas, pomegranate, figs and dragons.
Ambience is further created with a mixture of standard and themed sound effects. Flutes, whistles and stringed instrument sound effects are used to mark wins, bonus games and other key actions during standard and bonus gameplay.
Betting options and other additions
Players can choose from three options in order to adjust their bet; coin value, lines and coins per line. This creates a betting range of 0.01 to 250 in USD, EUR and GBP. This wide range makes Age of Discovery an ideal slot for any budget.
The regular button console does not include automatic spins but should you want them an expert panel can be used instead, it’s nice to be given this choice as many slots tend to either have auto spins or not.
Age of Discovery slot features
The Golden coin (looks like Spanish gold to me) plays as the wild symbol which means it can swap out for other symbols to create winning combinations. As on other slots it cannot sub for scatters or bonus icons but unlike other slots can payout a maximum of 60,000 when five appear on an active payline.
The Dragon Scatter symbol pays out instant wins multiplied by the line stake when 3, 4 or 5 appear simultaneously. This will award 5 times, 20 times or 80 times the line stake respectively which makes it a rather useful symbol.
An intriguing bonus round entitled ‘The Treasure Bonus’ is awarded when three or more compass graphics appear on the reels. You are presented with a map of the world which contains 30 dig sites. You continue to select sites until the skull and crossbones (jolly roger) icon is found. Every successful find will award an instant win and even if you strike out on the first go you also receive a prize.
Our View on the Age of Discovery Slot
The designers have combined various features which tend to payout well and ensured the bets remain targeted to a wide range of players. Too many slots focus on modern themes these days which is why Age of Discovery is so different. It’s somewhat ironic that its historical theme has helped create a fresh feeling slot which is fun to play.

Pretty boring game. Not only boring but also cheap and old looking. Of the features here, you have only one variation of the "pick up" bonus. I think this game would be much more exciting if it offered a free spins bonus

I don't know why but I love this little 25 liner from Microgaming!! It is very fun even though there is only one bonus game and it takes forever to get it. Once you do get the bonus game, it's on to stay away from those pesky skulls that seem to follow you around!! The best I've gotten was to uncover all symbols but two...

Once you do get the bonus game, it's on to stay away from those pesky skulls that seem to follow you around!! The best I've gotten was to uncover all symbols but two and of course those three darn skulls!! Play it!!

In this video slot I played a few years ago. In principle, he's not bad. There are 25 winning lines and a bonus game. My maximum win in this slot was x150, for the whole time of my game in it. This is basically a good result for a slot of this type. But it's obsolete and I do not play it anymore. Now MG has slots much more...

This basic slot game has really nice design, simple and fast. Music is very good. Too bad game is little bit slow, which is not how I like it. Autoplay feature is fast. I will give four stars for this slot game. Good ROI.

Ok, I think the Compass bonus feature is sweet, the chances to win big are massive. I have played worse slots, if you play the full 25 lines, chances are good not to have too many dead spins, I also like the no-annoying-audio situation.

Its quite tight with pays, but it is a likeable game, probably because it has 25 lines rather than the 9, for which Microgaming is famous for, 3 out of 5.

I have hit the 5 sea dragons and the win is astounding, just a tip for all those who happen to find yourself nearing the end of your gaming session because no other game will payout, try this game, say if you have under $10 play .25c if you have under $20 play 50c it can most definitely help you stay a float.

Horrible game and its not entertaining at all. The only good thing going on in this game is the sloshing audio of the sea shore but everything else is pretty much dull and boring. Very low paying symbols and even 5 wilds is only 6,000 coins and since there is no free spins with multiplier it stays that way. Maybe this slot...

It is slow like others say, but it is not really exciting to play, the bonus is not too bad, but now that there are newer slots out there that are very exciting to play especially when you are winning, such as Cool Wolf, or High Society, I let this slot go. I try a slot, if it doesn't work for me, I move on.

I agree with Armage - the worst thing about this slot is its speed. It takes ages to spin and there's no way to make it faster, I can't imagine playing bonus with wr x 40 in this slot, I'd have to spend like 30 hrs to complete it, lol. Of course if I would be lucky enough not to lose my cash after wagering it twice- it...

Of course if I would be lucky enough not to lose my cash after wagering it twice- it pays pretty bad. I hit bonus round just once and of course got skull with my first pick - had to wait another 20 sec to see what other fields were hiding... Pretty much crap game.

Not sure I could relate the fruit symbols with the slots theme initially, but I read here its apparently exotic fruit.. hmmm. Well nevertheless its an enjoyable slot and typical microgaming high quality presentation, but I would of expected higher payouts from a 25 line game and can only conclude this is at the lower end...

Well nevertheless its an enjoyable slot and typical microgaming high quality presentation, but I would of expected higher payouts from a 25 line game and can only conclude this is at the lower end of the variance spectrum, especially for Microgaming. Still, I think games like this make a nice change from the 243 games MGS seems intent on producing exclusively at the moment, especially if your not patient enough to play classic nine liners this is a nice compromise !
