Age of the Gods King of Olympus is a Playtech-powered game with a progressive jackpot element. Part of the Age of the Gods series, it has 5 reels and 25 paylines and can be played from 25p to £2,500 a spin. The game is based on Zeus, the ancient Greek God who is charge of sky and thunder – it was supposed to be called Age of the Gods Zeus but Playtech might have encountered some trademark issues from WMS.

Graphically brilliant, the reels include Zeus himself (who is the wild), Pegasus and Aetos Dios (the eagle), as well as harps, vases and standard A, K, Q and J symbols. The highest paying symbol is Zeus, which substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, and rewards you with 3,000 times your line bet if you get 5 on an active payline.

Age of the Gods King of Olympus also uses the Turbo Mode which can be found in the newer Playtech slots which allows you to spin the reels extremely quickly.

PPB Counterparty Services Limited, having its registered address at Triq il-Kappillan Mifsud, St. Venera, SVR 1851, MALTA, is licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority under Licence Number MGA/CRP/131/2006 (issued on 01 August 2018).

The main attraction is the Free Games feature which is triggered by getting 3 or more Temple of Zeus symbols anywhere on the reels. You will then be rewarded with 10 free spins with an increasing multiplier. The feature begins with a 2x multiplier and increases by 1 after every 2 free spins.

This means free spins 3 and 4 will be subject to a 3x multiplier, free spins 5 and 6 will be subject to a 4x multiplier, free spins 7 and 8 will be subject to a 5x multiplier and free spins 9 and 10 will be subject to a 6x multiplier.

Additionally, the Zeus wild symbol becomes a frozen/locked wild in the middle position of the 3rd reel for the duration of the feature. The only downside to the feature is that you cannot retrigger more free spins.

Finally, there are 4 progressive jackpots to be won – the Ultimate Power, the Super Power, the Extra Power and Power jackpots. All 4 jackpots are won randomly where you are taken to the Jackpot game – you will come across a 4x5 grid of 20 squares which hide different jackpot symbols – if you match 3, you will win that particular jackpot.

I found Age of the Gods King of Olympus to be a medium variance slot game which is identical in gameplay to the retired Iron Man 2 game. Graphically a step up from Iron Man 2, it does remind me a little of Zeus III by WMS (aesthetically). I would also recommend the other slots in the series with Age of the Gods Furious 4 my favourite.

The Age of the Gods series of slot games hailing from Playtech has proven to be a huge hit with players. We’ve lost count of how many games there are in this series (still not enough though, in our opinion!), but we are putting two of them together in a head-to-head here. Who will win – the Prince Of Olympus or the King of Olympus ?

Prince of Olympus

This five-reel, 25-line game introduces Hercules as the wild icon. He can appear on any of the middle three reels. A separate Hercules logo appears as the scatter. This is one of two symbols Hercules himself won’t replace – the other being the scary Hydra symbol. Scary it might be, but if the Hydra appears on the first and fifth reels, you will witness a battle between the Hydra and Hercules. Try and take out four of the heads, winning cash prizes and a multiplier to try and boost the total win. There is also a chance the Hercules Rage feature could trigger, which will see all the heads destroyed. Add in some free spins and the Herculean Strength bonus in two forms, and this is a winner.

This works on the same reel set and payline format as the above game. This time, we focus on the king himself – Zeus. He also acts as the wild, as you might expect him to do. His temple is put to work as well, appearing as the scatter icon. A minimum of three scatters are required to trigger 10 free games. You will get an increasing multiplier in these. It begins at 2x and goes up by 1x every other game. The final two games therefore see a 6x multiplier in play. Every spin will see a wild Zeus icon frozen in place in the center of the third reel.

Our verdict: Which slot do we prefer?

How can we choose between these two games? On balance, we prefer the Prince of Olympus purely because it has more bonus features. There are free spins involved, just as there are in the King of Olympus slot, but the Prince of Olympus also boasts several varied bonuses. That puts it in pole position in our minds. Make no mistake though – both games are delightful to play, as are the others in the Age of the Gods series.
