Playtech launches Age Of The Gods Live Roulette Tables

Age Of The Gods Live Roulette becomes the first of many Playtech ONE products to come, introducing a 4-tier progressive jackpot.

What comes to mind when you think about the classic casino game of roulette? You probably imagine the baize table and sleek wheel, depicting all those valuable numbers. Maybe you think of it as a game where the odds are bit to far into the house’s favor. Some of you may even consider roulette to be similar to slot machines.

It’s true, roulette and slots do have a lot in common. There aren’t any strategic decisions to be made that can effect the outcome of a play. A bet is placed, something is spun, and you either win or lose. But now there’s a new live roulette game on the internet, and it’s got something else in common with slot machines. It features a progressive jackpot.

Age Of The Gods Live Roulette

Last year, Playtech introduced a new slot machine that instantly drew countless players. It’s called Age Of The Gods, featuring a graphically compelling, Ancient Greek theme and 4-tier progressive jackpot. The game’s success was so inspirational, it resulted in Playtech’s desire to expand the brand into other styles of casino gaming.

Age Of The Gods Live Roulette was released onto the Playtech Live Casino platform in late September, 2017, mimicking the most notable feature of its reel-spinning cousin – the progressive jackpot. Also like the slot machine version of the game, the jackpots are released entirely at random.

How To Play AOTG Live Roulette

This new game – the first of many Playtech ONE products to come – is played just like any other live roulette game. Players select their bet size, press on the betting diagram where they wish to place a wager, and wait for the wheel to spin out the result. However, there are a few unique features worth mentioning.

The first thing players will notice is the background. Playtech’s AOTG Live Roulette tables employ a 26m custom-built video wall behind the dealer. Playtech utilizes this massive screen to give the game a versatile, thematic background, as well as displaying the real-time values of its jackpots.

Next up is bet sizing. As a progressive jackpot – or Mystery Jackpot, as they call it – player’s bets will contribute to the constant growth of each jackpot tier. To do this, the game requires players to spend an additional 1% (capped at €10.00) of their bet size. The actual amount wagered will be displayed once the bet is confirmed.

For example, if a player’s bets €10 on Red, a small window will appear confirming a total bet of €10.10.

Last but not least, is the live roulette progressive jackpot. This feature triggers entirely at random, and plays out as a bonus game. There is nothing a player can do to increase their odds of activating the bonus round. They can, however, turn the feature off to avoid the 1% additional fee, thus disqualifying the from triggering a jackpot.

When the jackpot game activates, the player is guaranteed to win one of the four progressive jackpots. A game screen will appear depicting 20 coins. Beneath each coin is a label denoting one of the 4 jackpots (Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power). The player will proceed to choose coins until three alike values are matched. Whichever Power tier is matched first will be awarded, and that jackpot will reset to its original seed.

AOTG Live Roulette Progressive Jackpot Seeds

The game’s progressive jackpots and their originating seeds are as follows:

Power Jackpot: €50
Extra Power Jackpot: €500
Super Power Jackpot: €5,000
Ultimate Power Jackpot: €100,000

Due to the immense popularity of the new Age Of The Gods Live Roulette game, these jackpots are growing rapidly, and being awarded multiple times per day. Within hours of its release, a Bet365 member unleashed the Super Power Jackpot for over €40k.
