What Is Age of the Gods?
Age of the Gods by Playtech is the flagship title in Playtech's Age of the Gods jackpot series. Released in 2017, this Greek mythology-themed slot is primarily notable for its four linked progressive jackpot tiers — Almighty Jackpot, Ultimate Power, Super Power and Power jackpots — that connect across all Age of the Gods titles in the series.
The jackpot network is what makes Age of the Gods distinctive. While the base game and free spins are standard 25-payline mechanics, the jackpot bonus can trigger on any spin regardless of the main game outcome. The four jackpot tiers are won by spinning a jackpot wheel, with the tier reached on the wheel determining the prize level.
RTP & Volatility
Age of the Gods carries a published RTP of 95.02%. Medium volatility means the game balances win frequency and payout size.
RTP is a theoretical long-run figure — it does not predict outcomes in any single session. Set a budget before playing.
Key Features
The Age of the Gods Jackpot Bonus triggers randomly at the end of any spin. It is more likely to trigger on higher stakes, but can trigger at any bet level. Once triggered, the player spins a 20-segment wheel. The inner segments award Power jackpot prizes; the outer ring segments award Super Power, Ultimate Power or Almighty Jackpot prizes.
The base game features Stacked Wild symbols that can cover an entire reel on a single spin, dramatically increasing win potential when aligned. The standard free-spins round awards 10 spins when three or more Scatter symbols land, with a 2x multiplier applied to all wins during the bonus.
At 95.02% RTP, Age of the Gods sits below the standard for a 2026 slot release — the jackpot contribution is factored into this figure. Players who choose Age of the Gods are trading some base RTP for progressive jackpot participation. The €5 maximum bet is restrictively low for high-stakes play.
Theme & Design
Ancient Greek gods — Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and other Olympians — rendered in Playtech's distinctive illustrated style. Golden columns, thunderbolts, tridents and laurel wreaths fill the reels. The colour palette is rich golds, blues and whites. The epic orchestral soundtrack underscores the mythological gravitas.
Verdict
Age of the Gods is primarily a jackpot slot, and Irish players who choose it do so for the jackpot network rather than the base game. The 95.02% RTP reflects jackpot contributions and is lower than most alternatives on this list. For players who enjoy jackpot participation, it delivers; for those who want the best base-game value, higher-RTP alternatives are recommended.
