Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus Slot Review

Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

The Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus slot has 5 reels, 4 rows and 30 fixed paylines. 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on a payline, beginning on reel 1 and on adjacent reels, will constitute a winning combination. The only exceptions is the high value Fortune and wild symbols where only 2 are required.

Playable from 10p to £500 per spin, the stake limits may vary from casino to casino. Most slot sites in the UK will go up to about £200. If you’re playing outside of the UK, there’s a Turbo Mode for faster spin speed and an Autoplay facility which allows you to play automatically until you activate a bonus feature.

The Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus RTP is 96.13%. Above the 96% average, the actual RTP is 95.14%. The contribution for the progressive jackpots is 0.99%.

Medium variance, the maximum win per spin is 500 x your total stake. However, the bigger wins will come from the Age of the Gods jackpots with the Ultimate Power Jackpot paying at least £100,000.

Theme – head to ancient Greece and join the goddess of luck

With a Greek mythology theme, the Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus slot is set in the home of the Greek Gods, Mount Olympus. Beautifully designed, it has a very grand feel to it. The soundtrack is epic in nature which adds to the grandness. The prominent character is Fortuna which is also known as Tyche in ancient Greek mythology. She is the goddess of luck.

On the reels you will see low value A, K, Q and J royals. Other symbols include olive plants, fruit bowls, gold crowns, Cornucopias and Fortuna. Greek goddess Fortuna is the highest paying symbol giving you 0.2, 2.5, 5 or 15 x your total stake for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

There is also a wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols. 2, 3, 4 or 5 wilds on a payline will pay 0.2, 2.5, 5 or 15 x your total stake (like Fortuna). There is no scatter as such but there are gold symbols which will trigger the Wheels of Olympus feature.

Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus Mobile

As with all Playtech slots, Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus was created using HTML5 technology. This means you can play it on mobile, desktop and tablet devices. With moving wheels above the 5×4 grid, it’s best played on a bigger screen in my opinion.

Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus Bonus Features

The Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus slot has 4 bonus features. It focuses on the Wheels of Olympus feature which leads to respins with added wilds, cash prizes and free spins. Then you have the small matter of the 4 progressive jackpots which can be won on any spin.

Feature Bet Mode feature

In the base game, you will see a Feature Bet button to the left of the reels. Doubling your stake, you can boost your chances of triggering the all-important Wheels of Olympus feature.

You will notice that, on any spin, any symbol can appear as a gold symbol. If 3 or more adjacent gold symbols land on the same row, the Wheels of Olympus feature will be activated. There are 3 different sized wheels that can triggered. The bigger the wheel, the greater the prizes:

Free Games feature

If you win free spins, you will enter the Free Games feature. The small, medium and large wheels can award up to 8, 12 or 50 free spins respectively.

During the feature, you can trigger the Wheels of Olympus feature which can lead to more free spins, respins with added wilds and cash prizes. There’s a maximum of 500 free spins to be played in total.

Age of the Gods Jackpot feature

Being part of Playtech’s Age of the Gods Jackpot network, Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus gives you the chance to win 4 progressive jackpots. The Age of the Gods Jackpot feature is activated randomly on any spin.

Once in, you are guaranteed to win a jackpot. You pick from coins and need to match 3 of a particular jackpot to win that jackpot. Here’s a table below showing the jackpot, the seed value (minimum amount you’ll win) and the live jackpot:

The Ultimate Power Jackpot is the biggest of the 4 jackpots and is won every 40 days on average. The average payout is approximately £488,000 and the biggest jackpot was over £852,000 in October 2011. In the demo version on this review, the jackpots won’t show.

Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus Review Summary – all about the jackpots

The Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus slot is, as you’d expect, well designed. I like the Wheels of Olympus feature as it can result in a respin with added wilds, cash prizes and entry to the free spins. The biggest payout in this game comes from the 500 x stake max prize in the 5 Gold Symbol Wheel.

The Wheels of Olympus feature triggers fairly frequently which is good but expect cash prizes more often than not. With up to 500 free spins to be won in the Free Games feature, the max win per spin or free spin is 450 x your total stake. This is low compared to the potential 50,000 x stake max wins available in Age of the Gods.

The saving grace for Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus are the progressive jackpots. The chances of winning the Ultimate Power Jackpot are small of course but there’s always that hope. I quite like the Wheels concept though and would have hoped for bigger max wins from a spin or free spin. That is what lets this game down.

You should try Age of the Gods: King of Olympus which can pay up to 18,000 x stake on each free spin. Age of the Gods: Wonder Warriors is another good option with up to 7,776 ways to win, jackpots and 10,000 x stake max wins.
