Age of the Gods Roulette is Playtech's flagship jackpot table, the roulette arm of a slot franchise with a shared progressive pool. It is a good-looking game with a real jackpot history. It is also one of the more expensive ways to play roulette, for a reason that is right there on the wheel.
The versions
Age of the Gods Roulette (RNG, January 2016). A software table with 38 pockets: 0, 1 to 36 and a purple Age of the Gods pocket in the position the 00 would occupy. The bonus pocket triggers a bonus game; the jackpot can also trigger at random on any spin.
Age of the Gods Bonus Roulette. A later RNG variant with the same 38-pocket layout and a bonus wheel.
Age of the Gods Live Roulette (October 2017). A Playtech Live table on a standard 37-pocket wheel, with the jackpot entered through a separate bet rather than a pocket. Rolled out network-wide in 2020 after an operator exclusive.
The bonus pocket and the odds
On the RNG versions the 38th pocket does to your odds exactly what a 00 does. Red wins 18 of 38 instead of 18 of 37. A straight-up wins 1 in 38 and still pays 35:1. The base-game return works out at 94.74%, the American-wheel figure, and that is before the jackpot contribution of 0.99% is considered. The bonus pocket pays something when it lands, which is where the "average including jackpot" figures of around 95.7% come from, but those depend on pool sizes and are estimates.

The jackpot game
A random trigger on any qualifying spin, with the chance scaled to the stake, takes you to a grid of 20 coins. Pick until three match: Power, Extra Power, Super Power or Ultimate Power. The matched tier is paid in full. Reported seeds are £50, £500, £5,000 and £100,000, and the pools climb from there until won. The biggest recorded roulette win on the network was £599,380.45 on Ultimate Power, on a mobile, in October 2017.
Features
Racetrack and French section bets, a Lucky Dip random-bet button, a Bet Creator, rebet and double, statistics panel. The live version runs a 20-second betting window. Minimums are reported from 10p on the RNG table and 20p on live; maximums vary by operator and are not worth quoting.
The honest comparison
| Plain European table | Age of the Gods RNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Pockets | 37 | 38 |
| Straight-up pays | 35:1 | 35:1 |
| Base return | 97.30% | 94.74% (third-party) |
| Jackpot contribution | none | 0.99% |
| Chance at a six-figure pool | none | yes, tiny, stake-weighted |
Over 100 spins at £5 a spin, the plain table costs about £13.50 on average and the jackpot table around £26, plus whatever share of your contribution comes back as jackpot return, which for almost everyone is nothing in any given year. That is the trade: roughly double the price of the game for a lottery ticket on each spin.
Who it is for
Players who would otherwise buy a lottery ticket and want to do it while playing roulette. For anyone playing the wheel for the wheel, the plain European table pays the same 35:1 on a 37-pocket wheel with no pocket working for the pool.

Good to know
What are the Age of the Gods jackpots?
Four progressive tiers, Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power, won through a 20-coin match-three pick game after a random trigger. Seed values are reported at £50, £500, £5,000 and £100,000; the record win was £599,380 in October 2017.
Is Age of the Gods Roulette a European wheel?
The RNG and Bonus versions use 38 pockets: 0, 1 to 36 and a bonus pocket where 00 would sit. The 2017 live version uses a standard 37-pocket wheel with a separate jackpot side bet.
What is the RTP of Age of the Gods Roulette?
Sources disagree. The most-quoted base-game figure is 94.74%, which is American-wheel maths; 95.73% is quoted as an average including jackpot contribution; Playtech does not publish a single figure. Treat it as around 94.7% to 95.7%, well below a plain wheel.
