PokerStars Age of the Gods

This casino is currently closed

Age of the Gods Live Roulette is a Playtech game, announced on 27 September 2017, that puts a four-tier progressive jackpot on top of an ordinary roulette wheel. The PokerStars Casino page shared for this review shows the slot version, a Playtech title with 20 paylines, so the live roulette is covered here through Playtech’s own description of the game. Whether PokerStars Casino offers the roulette table is not confirmed in the material reviewed.

A Wheel That Pays Twice on the Same Spin

According to Playtech, the base game of roulette is unaltered. A player wins on the table by hitting the right number, a combination of numbers or a colour, and at the same time can win across a four-tier progressive jackpot. The jackpot is called the Age of the Gods Mystery Jackpot, and Playtech says a level exists for every and any type of player.

The price of that second chance is small and automatic. With every spin, a small percentage of the stake goes toward the jackpot. The percentage is not given, and neither are the stake limits, the table rules or the RTP. Those are the figures a roulette player needs before choosing this wheel over a plain one, so they are worth checking in the game lobby at PokerStars Casino. The launch announcement also mentions jackpots won daily across the four tiers, and cites a bet365 player who claimed £40,000 within hours of the game going live on the Playtech Live Casino network. That figure comes from the developer, not from an independent record.

Slot and Wheel Side by Side

The game is built around shared liquidity. Playtech says the live version draws on the same progressive jackpot network as the casino slot, the first time a Live Casino product did so, and describes it as the first Live Casino game on Playtech ONE. A player of the slot at PokerStars Casino and a player at the wheel would then be chasing jackpots from the same pool, though the announcement does not name PokerStars as a licensee.

The Golden Coins detail is the clearest difference in how the two versions are marketed. Operators can reward casino players with free spins and live players with their Live Casino equivalent, which lets one brand move traffic between the slot and the wheel.

The live game runs from the Riga studio, which Playtech describes as the world’s largest Live Casino studio at 8,500 square metres. The game uses a 26m custom-built video wall that shows jackpot winners and promotions in real time. As all of this comes from a 2017 press release written by the developer, current limits, tier values and availability at PokerStars Casino should be confirmed in the live lobby before any bet.
