Age of the Gods Wheels of Olympus Review

Ash Gaming has a couple of decent installments in the Playtech-powered jackpot range under their belt already, and Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus is yet another ancient Greece effort. Visually, it looks kind of dated, with the heavenly realm as the static backdrop. You’ll immediately notice the 3 wheels that sit above the 5×4 grid, and these are at the core of everything.

The base game doesn’t offer all that much without the Olympus Wheels, but you can turn on the Feature Mode ante bet to make it less of a grind. The lowest tier wheel triggers on a regular basis, and all 3 tiers offer cash prizes, respins with extra wilds or the bonus round with up to 50 free spins at the most. The Age of the Gods jackpot feature can trigger at any time, as usual, and the largest jackpot pays around £475,364 on average.

Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus Features

The Wild symbol steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations, and it’s also the most valuable symbol in its own right. Landing 5 wilds on a payline awards 15x your stake, same as the top-tier Fortuna symbol. The premiums thus pay between 3.5 and 15x your stake for 5-oak wins, and the Feature Bet button allows you to pay double per spin to also double your Wheels of Olympus chances.

Random symbols will be highlighted as “golden symbols” per spin, and landing 3 to 5 golden symbols on the same row triggers the Wheels of Olympus feature. The Wheels are on display above the regular reel set, and they come in 3 different sizes and tiers:

• The 3 golden symbols wheel awards 20x or 40x cash prizes, 5-8 free spins, a respin with 4-5 wilds or an upgrade to the next tier Olympus Wheel.
• The 4 golden symbols wheel awards 40x or 80x cash prizes, 8-12 free spins, a respin with 5-6 wilds or an upgrade to the next tier Olympus Wheel.
• The 5 golden symbols wheel awards 100x or 500x cash prizes, 12-50 free spins or a respin with 8-12 wilds.

Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus Slot – Bonus Wheel

The Free Spins Bonus Round thus comes with up to 50 spins at the most, and you can also trigger the Wheel of Olympus feature to win up to 500 spins in total at the most. The bonus round plays out like the base game, but your chances of triggering the Olympus Wheels are increased.

The Age of the Gods Jackpot feature can trigger at any given time, and you’re guaranteed to win 1 of the 4 progressive jackpots once the jackpot game triggers. You’ll pick coins to match up 3 corresponding jackpots to win, and they have the following starting levels:

• Ultimate Power Jackpot seeds at £100,000.
• Super Power seeds at £5,000.
• Extra Power seeds at £500.
• Power seeds at £50.

The Ultimate Power Jackpot drops every 6 weeks on average, and it’s usually worth around £475,364 when that happens. The largest jackpot thus far paid £843,355, and you cannot see the live jackpots in the demo version of the game.

The 200 Spins Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus Experience

The first time we triggered the Wheel of Olympus feature we landed a decent cash prize, and the second time, around the 1:20-mark, we got 8 free spins. The bonus round plays out for the remainder of the 2:26-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The dated visual style will probably be a turn-off for some players, and there isn’t all that much to look forward to in the base game here to be honest. The Olympus Wheels trigger on a regular basis though, at least the lowest-tier one, and outside of that the single spin max win is 450x your stake. Cash prizes are more often the result than not, and the bonus round gives you more frequent Olympus Wheel triggers.

Of course, things can escalate if you get 50+ free spins with plenty of higher-tier Wheel triggers, but most of the time Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus simply grinds along in a low gear. The random Jackpot feature is the wild card, so to speak, as you stand a chance at landing very solid payouts when that feature triggers. There is enough here to keep you entertained while waiting for the jackpot feature, sure, but there are plenty of better alternatives in the Playtech-powered jackpot series.

If you enjoy Age of the Gods: Wheels of Olympus you should also try:

Age of the Gods Book of Oracle – is a ‘book of’ mechanic installment in the jackpot range from Ash Gaming (Playtech), and it comes with 5×3 reels and 10 paylines. Winning symbols can be chosen to expand also in the base game, and you get multiple special expanding symbols per bonus round spin. In addition, you stand a chance at winning the 4 progressive jackpots.

Age of the Gods: Norse King of Asgard – is a popular release also from Ash Gaming (Playtech), and you can look forward to a respins feature with walking stacked wilds and a progressive win multiplier. You can also win jackpots, of course, and the low to medium volatility is more forgiving than many other installments in the popular series.

Age of the Gods – is the highly popular original release from Playtech themselves, and it comes with 4 different bonus rounds where each god gets to show off his or her special power. This can lead to payouts up to 5,000x your stake, and you can also trigger the progressive jackpot feature randomly at any given time.
