Age of the Gods is the biggest shared-jackpot family in UK slots: dozens of Playtech titles, four progressive pots, one Greek pantheon. If you're after slots like Age of the Gods, this guide ranks the sister slots that matter — King of Olympus, God of Storms, Furious 4 and the rest — and explains the Marvel backstory that created the whole network.
Where to Play Age of the Gods Slots
Every Age of the Gods version at a glance
Everything below is an official Playtech release wired into the same four-tier progressive network — Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power. RTPs shown are the published defaults and already include the jackpot contribution, which is why most of the family sits just under 95–96% rather than above it. Where a figure isn’t published, we say so rather than guess.
| Game | Year | RTP | Volatility | Standout feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| King of Olympus | 2016 | 95.98% | Med–high | Zeus wilds with up to 5x multipliers |
| God of Storms | 2016 | 96.14% | Medium | Wild Wind respins push the ship across the reels |
| Goddess of Wisdom | 2016 | — | Medium | Pick your own free-spins mode from Athena’s three |
| Furious 4 | 2016 | 94.88% | Medium | Four gods, four stacking free-games features |
| Prince of Olympus | 2016 | — | Medium | Hercules wilds and the Hydra battle bonus |
| Mighty Midas | 2018 | — | Med–high | The golden touch turns whole reels wild |
| Ruler of the Sky | 2019 | — | Med–high | Pegasus stacks and expanding wings |
| King of Olympus Megaways | 2021 | — | High | The Zeus classic rebuilt on the Megaways engine |
| Cash Collect | 2021 | — | Medium | Crossover with Playtech’s coin-collecting mechanic |
Published figures only — checked 3 July 2026. Operators cannot lower these RTPs individually, but the jackpot contribution means none of the family is a high-RTP choice on base maths alone.
Every Age of the Gods sister slot, reviewed
Ranked by how much of the original’s DNA each one keeps. The launch-wave gods come first; the engine experiments come later.
1. Age of the Gods: King of Olympus
Zeus got the flagship treatment, and it shows. King of Olympus was rebuilt from Playtech’s old Iron Man 2 engine — 25 lines, a punishing base game, and Zeus wilds that multiply wins up to 5x, stacking during the ten free games where he locks onto the middle reel. At 95.98% it also carries one of the family’s stronger published RTPs. If you only try one sequel, the king is the obvious coronation.
2. Age of the Gods: God of Storms
The family’s best maths and its cleverest feature in one boat. Anchored on the old Pharaoh’s Kingdom-style respin engine, God of Storms sails a wild ship across the reels: while it’s in view you get endless respins as the wind nudges it one reel per spin, with multipliers riding along. A 96.14% RTP makes this the value pick of the whole pantheon, and its two sequels (covered in the family tree) prove Playtech knows it.
3. Age of the Gods: Goddess of Wisdom
Athena’s game is the thinking player’s entry — literally, because it hands you the decision. Trigger the bonus and you choose between three free-spins modes of varying spin counts and multiplier strength, a structure Rainbow Riches fans will recognise from Pick ’n’ Mix but which Playtech executed here first in this family. Base play is gentle; the mode choice is where your session swings.
4. Age of the Gods: Furious 4
The team-up game — and the closest thing to a direct sequel, since it shares the original’s 20-line frame. Apollo, Atlas, Prometheus and Pandora each bring their own free-games twist, and the real fun is chaining them: the “4” symbols decide which god (or gods) fight for you. Its 94.88% RTP is the toll you pay for the variety.
5. Age of the Gods: Prince of Olympus
Hercules inherited Playtech’s old Thor engine, and his labours translate well: expanding hero wilds, a multiplier that grows as he battles the Hydra across the free games, and a mid-weight temperament that sits between Wisdom’s calm and Olympus’s storms. The one launch-wave god without a published RTP figure — check the in-game paytable before settling in.
6. Age of the Gods: Mighty Midas
The 2018 entry finally gave the family a new idea rather than a new god: the golden touch. Midas turns symbols — and in the Sapphire, Ruby and Diamond spins, entire reels — to wild gold, with each free-spins tier upping the transformation count. It plays hotter than the launch wave and looks noticeably richer too.
7. Age of the Gods: Ruler of the Sky
A 40-line flight built around Pegasus rather than a deity — stacked winged-horse wilds, expanding symbols and a free-games round where the stacks multiply. It’s the family’s most modern-feeling classic-format game, and a common recommendation for players who find the 2016 wave visually dated.
8. Age of the Gods: King of Olympus Megaways
Zeus, licensed onto Big Time Gaming’s engine in 2021. Up to six symbols per reel, cascading wins, and the god’s multiplier wilds now compound across reactions rather than lines — the swings are correspondingly fiercer than anything else here. Proof the network can absorb outside engines without giving up its jackpots.
9. Age of the Gods: Cash Collect
The crossover era: Playtech bolted its Cash Collect coin mechanic onto the pantheon in 2021. Coins and collect symbols build value during base play, feeding a feature that pays everything gathered at once — and the four progressive pots still sit on top. It’s the game to show someone who thinks this family stopped evolving in 2016.
Close cousins outside the family
Playtech’s Fire Blaze range shares engines with several gods — the God of Storms Fire Blaze editions literally are the same voyage with a respin jackpot bolted on. Kingdoms Rise is Playtech’s other linked-jackpot network, skewed younger and more adventurous. And if you want gods with jackpots from a rival stable, NetEnt’s Divine Fortune has been the closest competitor for a decade.
The complete family tree
The nine above are the essentials, but the pantheon runs far deeper. The wider catalogue, with published figures where they exist — note how the Norse wing operates almost as a franchise within the franchise:

| Fate Sisters | — | Three Moirai, three portal features |
| Medusa & Monsters | — | Snake-haired wilds and monster respins |
| Apollo Power | — | Sun-god reskin of the multiplier-wild formula |
| Ruler of the Seas | — | Poseidon’s deep-water entry in the Rulers line |
| Ruler of the Dead | — | Hades takes his turn on the throne |
| Rulers of Olympus | 95.05% | A 25-line entry where the pantheon shares the stage |
| God of Storms III | — | The chariot chase’s second sequel |
| Book of Oracle | — | The family’s take on the expanding-symbol “Book” format |
| Gold Trio | — | Three-in-one machine with selectable god modes |
| Epic Troy | — | Siege-themed entry with battering-ram wilds |
| Helios | — | Later sun-chariot release |
| Glorious Griffin | — | Beast-era entry, expanding griffin stacks |
| Wonder Warriors | — | Amazon-flavoured team feature |
| Maze Keeper | — | Labyrinth bonus with minotaur wilds |
| King of the Underworld | — | Hades finally gets his own reels |
| Goddess of Dawn | — | Eos-themed later addition |
| Hercules Rules | — | Lighter, cartoonish Hercules spin-off |
| Amazon Wild | — | Warrior-women reskin of an older Playtech grid |
| God of Storms 2 / 3 | — | The voyage continues, bigger ships each time |
| God of Storms Fire Blaze | — | The ship plus Fire Blaze respin jackpots |
| King of Olympus Fire Blaze Xtreme | 95.41% | 2024 Zeus with the respin jackpot grid |
| Norse: King of Asgard / Book of Dwarves / Ways of Thunder / Gods & Giants / Norse Legends | — | An entire Viking sub-family sharing the same four jackpots — see also Yggdrasil’s unrelated Vikings Go series |

The family DNA: the jackpot game every god shares
What actually binds this family isn’t theme — it’s a bonus round. Understand it once and you understand forty-odd slots.
The four-tier jackpot game
On any spin, at any stake, the jackpot game can simply happen — there’s no symbol to chase. You’re taken to a 5×4 grid of twenty gold coins and you pick until you match three of a kind. Whichever tier you match — Power, Extra Power, Super Power or the network-wide Ultimate Power — is yours, and here’s the family’s best-kept honest secret: you cannot leave empty-handed. Once the coin grid appears, one of the four jackpots is guaranteed. Higher stakes earn proportionally more trigger chances, but a 20p spin has won the top pot before — smaller odds on the same door, not a locked one.
Pantheon of Power free spins
The original’s own headline feature scatters three Pantheon symbols and hands you nine free games that rotate through four gods: Athena’s multiplier wilds, Hercules’ stacked wilds, Zeus’s win boosts and Poseidon’s converted royals. Land the full set and the Pantheon Power round pays all four modes at once. Nearly every sequel takes one of these gods and builds a whole game from that single mode — which is exactly why the family works as a family.
The symbols beneath it
Under the mythology it’s classic Playtech plumbing: card royals up to premium god symbols, a wild that doubles as top payer, and a scatter for the free games. Base wins are deliberately modest — the maths saves its drama for the pots.
The maths: what the jackpot contribution really costs
Every Age of the Gods spin quietly diverts a slice of your stake into the four pots. That’s why the published RTPs cluster around 94–96% — the original’s 95.02% is really a mid-96s game with a jackpot tax. Whether that trade is worth it is the entire question of this family: you accept slightly weaker regular maths in exchange for a genuine, if small, shot at a five- or six-figure random win.
Long-run expected cost per 100 spins on the original, using stake × spins × (100% − 95.02%):
| Stake | 100 spins staked | Expected average cost (4.98%) |
|---|---|---|
| 20p | £20 | £1.00 |
| £1 | £100 | £4.98 |
| £5 | £500 | £24.90 |

History and legacy
This family exists because of a divorce. Through the 2010s, Playtech’s most famous products were its Marvel jackpot slots — Iron Man, Hulk, the Avengers — all wired into one shared progressive network. Then Disney, newly protective of its family image, declined to renew the gambling licence, and every Marvel slot faced deletion in March 2017. Playtech’s answer was audacious in its simplicity: keep the network, swap the gods. Age of the Gods launched in 2016 so the jackpot pools — and the players feeding them — could migrate seamlessly from superheroes to Olympus before the licence died.
The result is a rarity: a jackpot older than the franchise that hosts it. The pantheon has since grown through a launch wave of god-per-game classics, a Norse expansion, Megaways and Fire Blaze crossovers, and even table games — each one another set of contributions flowing into the same four pots that once bore Tony Stark’s name.
Why this franchise still matters
Strip the mythology away and Age of the Gods is proof that in slots, the network is the asset. Playtech lost one of the most valuable entertainment licences on earth and kept the thing that actually mattered — a decade of pooled jackpot liquidity — by reskinning it in weekend-read Greek myth that no studio can ever revoke. Every supplier that has since built a jackpot brand it fully owns is following the playbook this family wrote. The gods weren’t the point. The pots were.
Beyond the reels: the family that annexed the casino floor
No branded casino here — Age of the Gods went the other way and colonised the rest of the lobby.
Age of the Gods Roulette
A full European roulette game with a twist no other family here can match: a bonus bet that can fire the same four-tier jackpot game as the slots. Land the bonus and you’re picking gold coins off a roulette table for the Ultimate Power pot — the only place in UK casinos where a table game and forty slots share one progressive prize pool. There’s a live-dealer version in Playtech’s studios as well.
The odd cousins
The pantheon has also lent its name to keno-style and wheel-based games (Wheels of Olympus among them) on Playtech platforms. They’re curiosities rather than essentials — but they make the point: this stopped being a slot series years ago. It’s a jackpot brand that wears whatever game format is put in front of it.
What players say
Two decades of forum threads about this family repeat the same arc. The love: the guaranteed-win jackpot round (“the only bonus where you can’t lose”), God of Storms’ ship, and the sheer comfort-food familiarity of the format. The gripes are just as consistent: the 2016 wave looks its age, sub-95% figures on titles like Furious 4 sting once you notice them, and the family’s clone-heavy release schedule gets called lazy more than any rival’s. The consensus pick order among regulars — God of Storms for value, King of Olympus for the flagship feel, Cash Collect for something current — matches our own ranking above, which is always a healthy sign.
The biggest Age of the Gods wins
This family’s ceiling isn’t a multiplier table — it’s a ticker. The Ultimate Power jackpot is seeded and grown by every spin on every game in the network across every operator, and it routinely climbs deep into six figures: the ticker in our screenshot above was showing over £250,000 on an ordinary weekday. Because triggers are random and a win is guaranteed once the coin grid opens, the family’s biggest payouts have gone to unremarkable stakes — which is precisely the lottery-ticket appeal the base-game maths pays for.
For the ordinary-sized drama, here’s a real Furious 4 bonus session — the god-chaining in action:

Our verdict on the original
Sister Slots score: 7/10 — an average slot carrying an extraordinary jackpot.
| Features | 7/10 — the four-mode free spins still hold up; base game doesn’t |
|---|---|
| Win potential | 8/10 — four progressive pots, one guaranteed once triggered |
| Design | 6/10 — handsome for 2016, stiff by today’s standards |
| Playability | 7/10 — simple rules, gentle pace, jackpot tension on tap |
Play the original if the pots are the point — it’s the purest ticket into the network. Pick a sister slot if you want the maths (God of Storms), the spectacle (King of Olympus) or the modern engines (Megaways, Cash Collect). Either way you’re paying into the same four pools — the family’s great trick is that there is no wrong temple.

How many Age of the Gods games are there?
Over forty titles carry the name across slots, a Norse sub-series, Megaways and Fire Blaze crossovers, plus roulette and other spin-offs — all sharing the same four progressive jackpots.
Can you win the jackpot on any stake?
Yes. The jackpot game triggers randomly on any spin, and once it starts a win from one of the four tiers is guaranteed. Bigger stakes earn proportionally more trigger chances, but every stake buys a real ticket.
Which Age of the Gods slot has the best RTP?
Among the widely published figures, God of Storms leads at 96.14%, with King of Olympus close at 95.98%. The original pays 95.02%, and all figures include the jackpot contribution.
Was Age of the Gods really a Marvel replacement?
Yes — Playtech’s Marvel licence ended in March 2017 and the studio rebuilt the same progressive network under Greek mythology it could own outright. Several early gods even reuse the engines of specific Marvel titles.
What are the four jackpots?
Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power, smallest to largest. The Ultimate Power pot is pooled across every game and operator on the network, which is why it climbs into six figures.
Is there an Age of the Gods roulette game?
Yes — Age of the Gods Roulette (including a live-dealer version) adds a bonus bet that can trigger the same four-tier jackpot game as the slots.
Are Age of the Gods slots fair?
They’re built by Playtech Plc, which holds a UK Gambling Commission licence (account 38516), with independently tested RNGs and published RTPs that operators can’t quietly change.
What happened to the Marvel jackpot money?
The network simply continued under the new brand — Playtech phased Age of the Gods in while the Marvel games retired, keeping the pooled jackpots running through the transition.
