Let’s face it. The best thing about free online slot games is that they are free. No charge. Nada. No cost. Gratis. Everyone loves free things. With online slots, however, there are even more benefits to free games. Playing for free with a game like “Age of the Gods: King of Olympus” has enough perks to warrant a bit of detail, as it is one of the most frequently requested game by players.

Age of the Gods: King of Olympus

The Age of the Gods series of games launched its first edition in May 2016 and now includes seven different online slot games. Playtech registers Age of the Gods as one of its most successful series, but its King of Olympus game has become one of the most popular. Not only is it a five-reel, 25-line slot with some of the newest graphics and bonuses, it is a progressive jackpot game.

With Zeus as the star of the game, he is the wild spot and has the largest payout. The best bonus on the game is 10 free spins, which can increase with a multiplier of up to six and an extra wild, which is hit by finding three scatter symbols. The best feature, however, is the set of four jackpots. Age of the Gods: King of Olympus offers a Power, Extra, Super, and Ultimate jackpot, and they are found by winning an entry into the jackpot game with the three appropriate matching symbols.

As recently as March 2017, a player on William Hill hit that top-paying jackpot and became a millionaire. The 48-year-old from Europe said Age of the Gods was his favorite game, on which he had won smaller amounts, all less than $100, in the past. But he hit the jackpot for $997,690, and Playtech added another $3,000 to it to make him a millionaire. In 2016 alone, the game paid out €154 million in jackpots to more than 33,000 monthly winners, and the jackpots continue to grow as more players choose to play this slot over many others.

Free Play on a Jackpot Game?

Many online casinos offer free play with sign-up bonus offers. When players sign up for a new account, there is often a matching bonus for the amount of the deposit, along with a number of free spins on a designated game. More operators are choosing Age of the Gods: King of Olympus as that chosen game, which only adds to the appeal of the free spins.

Why free?

Free things attract people. While most websites offer the opportunity to play pokies for free, those play-money games do not reward with cash. But the free spins associated with new accounts on real-money pokies sites do pay out in cash. There are often conditions to free spins, such as a requirement to gamble any money won on those free spins a certain number of times before being able to withdraw it. But the spins are free, and any money reserved after that commitment then has no strings attached.

So, when a pokies site offers free spins on a real-money game like Age of the Gods, players often jump at the chance to do it. Not only do they get the chance to win money for signing up for a new account, but they also practice playing on a game with jackpots that can change a person’s life forever.
