Playtech Live Age of the Gods Roulette is Launched
Live Age of the Gods Roulette
I first saw Live Age of the Gods Roulette in early February 2017, when Playtech revealed they were developing “Live Experiences” for live casino players. At ICE, I saw the first mock-ups of what the next stage would be, which was to create a branded Live Casino experience integrated with popular slot themes. Since February, I’ve seen the experiences limited to packaging the tables from each studio into an “experience”. For example, you’ve got The Grand Royale Experience, The Sapphire Experience, the Emperor Experience and a separate experience for any dedicated tables. Fast forward to September 2017, and the new “ONE Experience – Live Age of the Gods Roulette” has been launched by Playtech.
Key Features
The Key features of the new game/experience are:
- A Dedicated Live European Roulette table themed with Age of the Gods.
- A 26m Video Wall maintains the theme and allows real-time information on jackpot winners and promotions to be displayed.
- 4 Randomly triggered Progressive Jackpots, shared and seeded from the Playtech network.
The Progressive Jackpots
There are 4 progressive Jackpots seeded from all Age of the Gods games across the Playtech Network.
- Power – has an initial value of €50 (or currency equivalent).
- Extra Power – has an initial value of €500 (or currency equivalent).
- Super Power – has an initial value of €5,000 (or currency equivalent).
- Ultimate Power – has an initial value of €100,000 (or currency equivalent).
The Progressive Jackpots are seeded by taking a small proportion of each bet. It’s 0.99%, but not less than €0.01 and not more than €10 per game round. The Jackpot Round is randomly triggered during gameplay. You match 3 Jackpot symbols to win, or if you wait for the 30-second timer to count down, a prize will automatically be awarded.

Playtech launches game-changing Age of the Gods Live Roulette Leading slot brand available in Casino and Live and linked to pioneering 4-tier progressive jackpot for the ultimate cross-sell gaming experienceLondon: September 27th 2017 – Playtech has unveiled Age of the Gods Live Roulette providing licensees with the ultimate cross-sell, progressive jackpot product, and slot fans with twice as many chances to win huge cash prizes with every spin of the wheel. In a first of its kind move, and the first Live Casino Playtech ONE experience, players can play one of the industry’s best performing slot brands across both casino and live casino, offering two unique experiences while also doubling their chances of winning massive jackpots when playing the live product. Aligning with Playtech’s market-leading progressive jackpot network, the Live product shares casino liquidity for the first time while also offering players the ultimate desktop and mobile gaming experience. Due to this Playtech ONE innovation players have the chance to not only win on the table if they hit the right number, combination of numbers or colour, but also to simultaneously win huge cash sums across a four-tier jackpot with every spin of the wheel. This is the first of many Playtech ONE experience games that will feature jackpot functionality. To ensure that both Live casino and Casino players enjoy the product Playtech designed the game in order that the base game of Roulette is unaltered, but while also enabling players with the chance to win big for a minimal contribution. With every spin, a small percentage a player’s stake goes towards a four-tier progressive Age of the Gods Mystery Jackpot meaning that there is a jackpot level for every and any type of player. This allows you to win both on the green baize and receive potentially huge sums by unlocking the multiple jackpots on offer. The ability to share casino liquidity via a Live Casino product gives operators innovative ways to market the Age of Gods brand including driving traffic into the Age of Gods games and rewarding players in real-time using both Free Spins in casino and the Live Casino free spins equivalent of Golden Coins. Players have instantly taken to the game with jackpots across the four-tier system being won daily including a Bet Victor player who claimed a £40,000 prize within hours of the product being deployed across the Playtech Live Casino network. The entire look and feel of the game – including a new dynamic user interface designed to showcase the jackpot ticker and present real-time jackpot notifications – has been developed to fit around the best performing Age of the Gods suite that has leapt to the top of the slot charts and taken the casino world by storm since its launch a year ago. One of the most impressive new elements is a state-of-the-art 26m custom-built video wall that further enhances gameplay by allowing Playtech to render any imagery needed to support the game and show real-time information on jackpot winners and promotions across both Casino and Live. The new game is just one of a host of new experiences, dedicated environments and products to be launched within Playtech’s new studio in Riga, Latvia that opened at the beginning of 2017. The site is the world’s largest Live Casino studio with an 8,500-square metre capacity built on top of the city’s fortified 16th century walls in the heart of the Old Town, an area that dwarfs any existing Live Casino area in the market today. Shimon Akad, COO, Playtech, said: “Age of the Gods has been a phenomenal success in casinos across the industry and continues to drive incredible growth for Playtech and our valued partners.The innovative and market-first launch of our new Age of the Gods Live Roulette linked to a four-tier progressive jackpot that offers massive cash prizes, will significantly increase the cross-sell of the product for our licensees across both channels and enhance the gaming experience for players.Playtech has again demonstrated its determination to lead the Live Casino market through innovation and by working side-by-side with our leading licensees.And yes, there is much more to come!”
Live Casino Comparer Comment
Playtech focuses on the total player experience. The improvements they have made over the past 18 months has paved the way for these changes. It’s not a new concept, NetEnt led the way with themed live Roulette, but this is the first we’ve seen with a progressive Jackpot tied into a Slots brand.
