Age of the Gods: King of Olympus Slot Review

Age of the Gods: King of Olympus Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Age of the Gods: King of Olympus slot is played on 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines. To create a winning combination, you’ll need to land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols from left to right on a payline starting from the leftmost reel.

Stake levels here range from 25p to £250 per spin. To adjust, simply click on the + and – buttons below the reels. Click on the Info button to access the paytable. Payout amounts are shown in multiples of line bet rather than the total stake so bear that in mind (divide the number by 25 to get the stake multiplier).

The Age of the Gods: King of Olympus RTP is 95.98%. The actual RTP is 94.99% with 0.99% going towards the progressive jackpots. I found the volatility here to be in the medium range.

The maximum win is 18,000 x your total stake which can be won when you get a 6x multiplier in the free spins. You can of course win much more from the 4 progressive jackpots. The Grand Jackpot will pay a minimum of £100,000.

Theme – join Zeus in this ancient epic  

The design in the Age of the Gods: King of Olympus slot is similar to the other games in Playtech’s ancient Greek-themed series. Set against cloud-filled skies, it’s based on the King of Olympus which is Zeus. He’s the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion.

There’s a rather haunting and slightly sinister soundtrack playing in the background while you spin. It’s not too intrusive and certainly adds to the atmosphere here. It’s not the flashiest slot in the series as far as design goes but the sound and visuals here are certainly up to the job.

The deep blue reels are made up of lower value A to 10 royals and a selection of symbols more in keeping with the ancient Greek mythology theme. They include ornately designed pots, a harp, a ship, an eagle and the winged horse Pegasus. Pegasus is the highest value symbol with 5 paying 40 x your total stake.

The bearded figure of Zeus is the game’s wild. This substitutes for all the standard symbols when it makes up part of a winning combination. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 wilds on a payline for a payout of 0.4, 4, 40 or 120 x your total stake. There’s also a scatter symbol that triggers the Free Games feature if you land 3 or more of them together.

Age of the Gods: King of Olympus has been fully optimised for play on mobile, desktop and tablet devices. This is because it’s been created using HTML5 technology. The simple 5×3 layout works well on smaller handheld devices.

Age of the Gods: King of Olympus Bonus Features

Playtech has kept the gameplay relatively simple in Age of the Gods: King of Olympus. With 2 bonus features, the main extra is the Free Games feature complete with a sticky wild and an increasing multiplier. You’ll also be in with a shot of landing 4 progressive jackpot prizes.

Free Games feature

Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin delivers a payout equal to 3, 10 or 100 x your total stake. You’ll also trigger the game’s main extra, the Free Games feature.

On offer here are 10 free spins. The feature starts with a 2x multiplier active. After every second free spin, that multiplier increases by 1. This means a 6x multiplier on your last 2 free spins. With a max win of 3,000 x your total stake from each spin, the multiplier can have a significant impact:

Also joining the action here is an extra wild symbol. This is positioned in the centre of reel 3 and remains sticky for the duration of the free spins. The only downside here is that it’s not possible to retrigger more free spins.

Age of the Gods Jackpot feature

Age of the Gods: King of Olympus is part of Playtech’s Age of the Gods jackpot network. You’ll have an opportunity to bag 4 progressive jackpot prizes. The Age of the Gods Jackpot feature can trigger at random on any spin at any stake level. The chances of triggering the jackpot round increase as your stake does though.

Once activated, you’ll choose from the selection of coins. Behind each coin lies an icon attached to the Power, Extra Power, Super Power or Ultimate Power Jackpots.  Keep on picking until you uncover 3 matching icons. You’ll then win that Jackpot prize. You can check out the current value of the 4 jackpots in the meters above the reels when playing for real money (not in demo mode displayed in this review).

The Ultimate Power Jackpot is seeded at £100,000. The average payout is around £488,000 but it can get much bigger than that. The most ever won was £852,000. Here are the jackpot minimum amounts you can win:

Age of the Gods: King of Olympus Review Summary – all about the multiplier in the free spins

The Age of the Gods: King of Olympus slot is a well-designed title which gives off an air of grandness and authority. It’s a relatively simple game in terms of bonus features. The only standard extra is the Free Games feature.

The increasing multiplier and sticky wild mean that it’s well worth hitting. The key to big wins is the multiplier which reaches 6x in your last 2 free spins. The max win of 18,000 x stake can only be won in your last 2 free spins.

Then you have the Age of the Gods jackpots which have paid out huge amounts in the past. The Ultimate Power Jackpot is won every 40 days on average which is pretty frequent.

If you’re a fan of this myth and legend-themed series, you shouldn’t go too far wrong with Age of the Gods: King of Olympus. However, Age of the Gods (the first of the series) is still the best and offers much more in the way of bonus features and win potential (as well as the jackpots). If you want simple gameplay, Age of the Gods: God of Storms is recommended and also offers the 4 jackpots.
