Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus

Prepare to ascend to the kingdom of the mythical beings in Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus, the online slot from Playtech. The latest instalment in their popular series, Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus, takes you to the days of Ancient Greece where you can rub shoulders with the gods and goddesses that ruled the world. There's a top payout of x500 waiting to be won for those who emerge victoriously. But there's potential for even more with the growing prize pots, which are available too. 

Regular players will be very familiar with the Age of Gods slots, the hit series from Playtech, which just keeps on expanding. Playtech knows just how popular each of the games are with players, so they've added yet another title to the collection to accompany previous Age of Gods slots, including Prince of Olympus, Fate Sisters, Goddess of Wisdom and Furious 4, to name just a few. Although there are similarities between all the Age of Gods games, each one has its own unique features and characteristics, so they're not precisely the same.  

Wheels of Olympus is played on a 5x4 grid which includes 30 fixed paylines. The min bet is accessible for low rollers, starting at just 0.10, increasing up to a generous 500.00 max bet. Volatility is medium so that you can expect a relatively regular flow of payouts; there are ample money prize pots to be won, but you'll need the patience of Apollo to wait it out!

A quick glance at the screen will confirm you're at Mount Olympus, as the reels are surrounded by billowing white clouds and stunning Greek architecture. An ethereal purple sky adds a fantastical element to the gameplay, creating a captivating visual effect. Truly godlike, in fact! 

On the reels, the low pays are fairly ordinary, being made up of the usual royal cards. The premium symbols are more exciting and include golden crowns, fruit bowls, cornucopias, olive plants and the goddess Fortuna. She is the most valuable symbol of them all and will bestow a prize of x15 if you manage to get a full line of six. 

To help you along the way, there are also wilds on the reels, which can substitute for any of the low or high pays. 

Unlike other slots, there isn’t a specific scatter symbol in Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus - but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any bonus features.  

Any of the symbols that land on the reels can turn to gold, and if you land three or more gold symbols adjacently on the same row, you'll unlock the Wheel of Olympus feature. There are three different sizes of wheel, and the one you'll get to spin depends on the number of gold symbols you landed. The prizes on each include: 

●     Three symbols: 5-8 free spins, x40 cash prize, 4-5 wilds plus a respin, a spin on the next wheel up

●     Four symbols: 8-12 free spins, x80 cash prize, 5-6 wilds plus a respin, a spin on the next wheel up

●     Five symbols: 12-50 free spins, x500 cash prize, 8-12 wilds plus a respin. 

If you win any of the free spins, you'll enter into the bonus round, where you can trigger the Wheel of Olympus feature again. A maximum of 500 free spins can be won in total.  

You could also be randomly awarded the prize pot feature back in the base game. This guarantees you a prize from the four different cashpots available. These are increasing, so although there's a minimum sum they're seeded at, there's no telling how high the value could climb!  

To find out which prize pot you have won, you’ll need to pick from the selection of coins available. Once you find three matching coins, you will be allocated the corresponding prizepot. These are (in ascending order): Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power. 

What's not to love about an Age of Gods slot? Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus from Playtech joins a long line of expertly delivered slots games that have plenty to offer players. Although the top payout on here seems rather underwhelming, the availability of the growing prize pots quickly ups the excitement level. With plenty of features to keep you guessing and the chance of a huge payout, this slot is another winner for the Age of Gods collection.
