In Playtech's Age of the Gods: God of Storm Fire Blaze slot game, return to Ancient Greece and play alongside the Pantheon of Mighty Gods to hopefully earn massive progressive jackpots. Part of Playtech's iconic slot series, in today's Age of the Gods: God of Storm Fire Blaze slot review, we will put all features of this new release under the microscope to see if it is a worthy addition to such a lauded franchise.
The Age of the Gods series is Playtech’s flagship franchise, and Age of the Gods: God of Storms FireBlaze (shortened to God of Storms: FireBlaze for the sake of brevity) is their 2025 addition to the roster.
God of Storms: FireBlaze follows a typical 5-reel, 3-row, 25-payline slot configuration. Since the paylines are fixed, getting started with the game is as simple as setting your bet amount, then clicking spin. There is an incredibly broad betting range for this slot, starting at just 20p per spin and climbing to a colossal £500 per spin. When changing your stake using the arrows of the bet selector, a tone will pitch up when higher and down when lower. While this is not necessarily congruent with the Ancient Greek theme, it is something that visually impaired players will appreciate. As this slot has multiple prize pots, it is handy to know that the four fixed jackpot prizes are found to the left of the screen and change in value as the bet selected changes.
Players in eligible regions (non-UK) can make use of turbo spins and autoplay. There is no limit to the number of times the wheels can be spun for though you can set a desired number. When this number of spins has elapsed, the ‘until feature’ activates and autoplay ceases. Autoplay will also stop when funds have been depleted or a feature has been triggered. Autoplay can be stopped at any time by the player by clicking the stop (‘◼︎’) button.
Playtech have not revealed the volatility for this game just yet, but by watching the gameplay, considering that this is a jackpot slot, and knowing the trends of the previous slot games in the series, it can be guessed that at least the volatility will be in the upper-medium realm, but is more likely to be in the high or extremely high category.
Stated at 95.89% (calculated over 3000000000 simulated game rounds), the Return to Player (RTP) is within the usual range for jackpot slots and comprises a 0.99% payment to the Age of the Gods progressive jackpot network. Linking "God of Storms Fire Blaze" to a larger pool, this jackpot feature allows winning one of four progressive jackpots – Power, Extra Power, Super Power, and Ultimate Power – on any spin, with the current value of each of the pots displayed above the reels. In the game itself, however, there are four fixed jackpot prizes (Mini, Minor, Major, Grand) and the top prize, the Grand Jackpot, sits at a respectable 2,000x the total stake amount.

As it spans more than 10 games, the Age of the Gods series has developed several distinct branches, with the ‘God of Storms’ subseries becoming one of the most well-known. There have been three previous God of Storms slots (fitting titles God of Storms I, II, and III), but as God of Storms: FireBlaze has been given the ‘classic’ moniker and uses similar, though revamped graphics seen in the first game, we can assume that this new instalment harkens back to the first release.
While Thor is the god most commonly associated with storms, there is no room for Norse in this Ancient Greek-themed slot. Instead, the God in question is Aeolus, who in Greek Mythology is the son of Hippotes and the ruler of the winds whom Odysseus encounters in Homer's Odyssey. Aeolus was the king of the island of Aeolia, and it is this city that is the background of the God of Storms, FireBlaze (and several of the previous games).
The graphics are crisp and up-to-date, and feature characters and objects from Greek Mythology to fill the paytable. Something positive to note is that the three highest-paying symbols all payout for just two or more symbols on an active payline instead of the typical 3. Animation is used effectively to enhance the gameplay experience. The epic tale of the Odyssey is evoked by epic symphonic music, which is combined with a soundscape of thunderclaps, wind gusts, and crashing waves during bonus features.

The God of Storms: FireBlaze slot was released in 2025, meaning it is fully up to date with all current innovations. The game can be enjoyed on all devices, including mobile ones, without compatibility issues, and the gameplay experience is unchanged from that experienced by desktop players.
There are two bonus features used in the God of Storms: FireBlaze slot, each triggered by different in-game events and adding unique twists to the gameplay experience. Alongside this, the game is connected to Playtech’s progressive jackpot network.
The Wild Wind Free Games feature triggers when a completely stacked Ship Wild symbol appears on reels 2, 3, or 4. All Ship Wild symbols that triggered the feature stay on the reels for the first free spin. These Ship Wilds are similar to walking wilds seen in other slots, and they sail one reel to the left with each spin. The last free spin occurs when the last Ship Wild leaves reel 1. New ship wilds on the reels will continue the free spins round and will repeat the process of the other Ship Wilds.
The free spins bonus has an increasing multiplier which starts at 1x and grows by 1 with each free spin up to a maximum of 5x.
Every spin during Wild Wind Free Games has the Collector symbol, Aeolus, who blows onto the reels. This can allow Coin symbols to land on the reels, which can add to line wins by adding their cash values to a tally meter that is multiplied by the spin's multiplier. They will be collected into a meter and can trigger the FireBlaze bonus.
Six or more Coin symbols trigger the FireBlaze bonus, which is a game system unique to Playtech games. Coins landed on the reels reset the respin count during the round. The Collector may land and gather all symbols to make room for larger prizes. The round also offers one of the game's four fixed jackpots. If you fill the grid, the Grand pays 2,000x, while the Mini, Minor, and Major pay 20x, 100x, and 500x, respectively.
God of Storms: FireBlaze is part of Playtech’s progressive jackpot network, shared amongst the Age of the Gods slots. The Age of the Gods Jackpot can randomly trigger on any paid spin. After activation, players select gold coins in a marble temple. Each coin has a Power, Extra Power, Super Power, or Ultimate Power Jackpot emblem. Players keep picking until 3 identical symbols are revealed.
The 4 progressive jackpots can be tracked in real time on the meters above the reels (though not in demo mode). The four pots are as follows:
Sometimes I am left scratching my head at why some slot franchises are popular, but with the Age of the Gods series, the reasons for its mass appeal are clear and Age of the Gods: God of Storms FireBlaze certainly carries on the trend. Though it is a rehash of the first God of Storms slot; God of Storms: FireBlaze brings a much needed revamp and builds off of its original source material with innovative features such as the Wild Wind Free Games feature, as well as classic features such as the FireBlaze bonus system and the progressive jackpot network.
The math model for the God of Storms: FireBlaze slot is competitive with similar games of its type, though it would be nice if Playtech provided some clarity regarding the volatility of the title to give players further clarity.
Overall, I can seen the majority of players enjoying what the Age of the Gods: God of Storms FireBlaze slot has to offer; though, if I could make one request as a humble reviewer, it would be to shorten the name next time (I dread reviewing Age of Gods: God of Storms IV Megaways: CashCollect FireBlaze in the future!). I give the Age of Gods: God of Storms: FireBlaze an exalted rating of 8.5/10.
