I hope you have been spending some time in the gym, Wombat fans, as we are heading off to Ancient Greece to hang out with some ripped immortals in the Age of the Gods slot.
This Playtech classic features five divine-looking deities in a five-reel, three-row and twenty pay line game. You can win both ways on the pay lines of this medium volatility slot.
We love a game themed on the Ancients (the Links of Ra II slot is another great game) and this is up there with the best of them.
The Original Game
This was the original and first game of the series. There are now more than thirty Age of the Gods variants out there, and the series keeps growing as these are very popular games. See below for more details.
Look and Feel
This is a good-looking game, with the right balance of vibrant graphics and smooth gameplay. There is plenty of gold about!
Screenshot
We have many Ancient Greek slots in our games lobby (like Trojan Kingdom for example), but none bigger than this Playtech game. This title has stood the test of time next to newer games such as Pub Kings. It still looks great.
Flex your pecs and tense your six pack – we’re climbing Mount Olympus to check it out!
Pantheon of Power
Here’s a tip. If you land all five God symbols in any order on an active pay line, you will win 200x your line bet (10x your overall stake)!
Free Spins
You set off the Age of the Gods free spins bonus with three or more Scatter symbols anywhere across the reel set. Three, four, or five Scatters award a fixed win of 3x, 10x, and 100x the stake respectively. You will then switch to a 5×4 promo grid with twenty coins on it.
The aim here is to pick coins and flip them to reveal the different gods. If you reveal three matching gods, you trigger the associated free spins bonus. Careful though! If you flip Hades, the bonus ends and you go back to the base game.
Zeus, Athena, Poseidon and Hercules will launch up to four free game bonuses with extra wilds and win multipliers.
– Athena spins – the beautiful god of war and wisdom gets you a multiplier boost of either 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x on wins with nine spins.
– Zeus spins – the top dog on Mount Olympus boosts the win multiplier by a factor of 1x every three spins. Also, there will be a static wild in place in the middle position on the third reel. Nine spins again.
– Poseidon throws out lightning from his trident, and this turns up to five random symbols into wilds on every bonus spin (nine in total).
– Hercules spins – this ripped god will stack as a wild on the third reel, useful for making up heavenly-sized wins. This is a nine spins award.
More Spins
Although you cannot retrigger the bonus feature by landing additional scatters in the free spins round, you will head back to the coin “pick’em” bonus grid at the end of the round, where you get a shot at more Free Spins.
Again, try not to reveal the Hades symbol, it’s best to stay clear of the Underworld.
The Age of the Gods Progressive Jackpot
What makes this series of slots from Playtech so popular is the networked jackpots that are on offer.
Any base game spin can set off the Age of the Gods Mystery Jackpot. This is a multi-level networked mini-game with a guaranteed win of one of four progressive jackpots.
The AOTG jackpots are pooled between other Age of the Gods games for bigger payouts.
The jackpots are triggered at random as you play, and when it sets off you will head to a 5×4 play grid. You must match three symbols to win the corresponding jackpot.

What is the Story Behind the Launch?
Back in the day, Playtech had a license from Marvel to run slots themed on some of their most popular characters like Hulk, Fantastic Four and Iron Man.
When Disney bought Marvel, they no longer wanted to continue the agreement, so Playtech launched the Age of the Gods range which went on to be arguably more popular than the original licensed games.

What is the Highest Paying Symbol?
That would be the WILD symbol (the word “WILD”). LAnd 2 of these on a payline and you will trigger a 2.5x win. Five Wilds pay a tasty 500x your bet. After that, it’s the lovely Athena who pays 3x, 12.5x and 50x for 3,4 or 5 respectively.
