The one Playtech address in our list, and the pool that comes with it

All twenty-one of the international houses in this list run the same supplier's "library", which means the same two pooled funds ("networks", in the trade's own word) in every one of those lobbies, and this brand is the exception on a page of its own. Its "catalogue" is led by Playtech, and the consequence is a jackpot network that appears on no other page of this site.

The network is Age of the Gods, it has four levels rather than two, and its construction is unlike the Games Global family (no wheel, no sectors). A "trigger" arrives at random on any paid "spin", a screen of twenty gold coins opens, and the player uncovers coins until three matching ones reveal which of the four levels has been won.

Everything below comes from licence registers, from supplier statements and from jackpot trackers read on 18 October 2026, with the status of each figure attached to it in the text rather than buried in a footnote. Nobody here has played these games; where the published record is silent this review says so, rather than filling the gap with an estimate that would read better.

Four levels, and the lowest contribution anybody publishes

The seeds of the four levels are given as €50, €500, €5,000 and €100,000 from the bottom upwards (four thresholds, published in euro and in euro only), and that bottom figure is the smallest "seed" (the value a level restarts from) for any level in the whole of our material. The source is a comparison site rather than Playtech itself, although three of the four levels are corroborated by independent trackers, which is better corroboration than most figures in this subject ever get.

The figure that matters more than any of the seeds is the share of each stake diverted into the pool, because it comes out of the game's own "return to player" before anybody sees a penny of it. On the original title that "contribution" is 0.99 per cent, against a total return of 95.02 (both figures from one comparison site).

Set beside the Games Global pools, where a constant 5.30 points leaves the "base game" in order to feed the fund, that amounts to a difference of more than four points of return on every single spin. A reader who never wins a jackpot, which is practically everybody who plays one, keeps considerably more of his stake on this network than on the other!

That comparison is the most useful thing on this page, and we have not seen it made anywhere else; a reader weighing one network against the other is weighing four points of return against a much larger prize. A low contribution means a smaller "pot" growing more slowly (and a longer wait at the top of the scale), so the trade-off is a real one (rather than a free lunch), and choosing between the two networks means choosing between a large rare prize and a cheaper game to sit at.

How often the levels actually fall, and the record nobody can settle

No supplier anywhere publishes the probability of hitting a top jackpot (we have read the published terms of the four largest), so what this site gives instead is the "observed frequency", meaning the interval at which each level has really been paying. On the trackers read for this page, the second level of the network had been falling on average every two hours and thirty-eight minutes, (a measurement rather than an estimate, and the shortest one we hold).

That is the shortest average interval in our entire body of material, in a subject where another Playtech pool has paid out once in eleven years. The third level averaged a day and nine hours between wins, and the top level averaged about seven weeks between wins, which works out at roughly seven payments in a year (a frequency, not a probability).

The bottom level is tracked by nobody at all, and that silence is itself a piece of information worth having. The likeliest reason is that it falls too often for anybody to bother following it, although nobody says so in print. The gap is recorded here rather than estimated around, because an estimate dressed as a measurement is how this trade manufactures most of its numbers.

The "record" of the network is genuinely unresolved. Both versions appear below, dated. One database gives €984,763 as the largest prize ever paid on it, while an affiliate page gives $1,186,695 for a win dated 19 December 2020, and those two figures cannot be describing the same event under any exchange rate of that year.

Where the series came from, which is a better story than most

The Age of the Gods games exist because Disney declined to renew a licence, and the sequence of events is documented well enough to be worth repeating in full. Playtech had built a line of Marvel slots, the "licence" was not renewed in 2013 (Disney declined to see the brand attached to gambling), and the titles stayed online until the end of March 2017 before being withdrawn on the first of April.

What Playtech did next was keep the engines and change the clothes, so that The Avengers became Age of the Gods, Fantastic Four became Furious Four, and Iron Man 2 became King of Olympus. Over twenty-five slots now share the "pool" (more than either Games Global network can show), which makes the series the largest of the three.

One part of that history is not documented at all, and it is the part a reader would most want to know! What happened to the money in the Marvel pool after April 2017 is recorded nowhere we could reach, and not one source we would trust says whether it was paid out, transferred or simply closed down.

No official list of the "series" exists. Every catalogue of these games, ours included, has been reconstructed from operators and from comparison pages (which is why we give no total of our own for the series). Playtech publishes jackpot totals rather than game lists; its own figure for the year to July 2019 was €187,629,964 paid out across an average of 16,037 jackpots a month, which is a different kind of disclosure and a useful one.

Three registers, two currencies, and two separate sites

This brand holds a Gambling Commission licence, an Alderney licence and a registration with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario through a company called Six Gaming Ltd (the "licensee" for the province being that company rather than the brand), which makes three authorities for one name. That is the widest regulatory frame of any address in our list, and it is the reason this brand appears on two of our market pages rather than among the international houses.

The practical effect is two sites rather than one, and your account has to be on the right one of them. Your British lobby holds accounts in sterling and the Ontario lobby in Canadian dollars, the provincial age is nineteen rather than eighteen, and a player who moves between the two markets needs the other site rather than merely the other currency.

What this address lacks is the Games Global "pair", so if you came for the fund that paid thirty-eight million euro, this is the wrong page. The two libraries are alternatives rather than companions (only one address in our list carries four networks at once), and almost nobody holds both.
