Age of Troy
Amusnet rates Age of Troy 5 out of 5 for volatility — the top of its own scale, and the first maximum rating we have met in this catalogue. Everything else about it is modest: 96.01% RTP, a 5×3 grid, 20 paylines, and a published ceiling of 1,000× the line bet.
The bonus round is unusually well documented. Three Temple symbols award 12 free spins with stacked wilds, retriggerable for the same amount — and Amusnet states all of that itself, which it rarely does. The Trojan Horse is the wild.

Play Age of Troy Free
The demo above runs the same 96.01% math as real play, and on a 5/5 volatility game it is worth more than usual. Maximum variance means long stretches of nothing punctuated by the free-spins round — a demo session shows you that rhythm at no cost, which is exactly what you want to know before staking anything. This demo is part of our collection of free EGT slot demos.
Age of Troy at a Glance
How Age of Troy Plays
Age of Troy is Amusnet’s Trojan War slot, released on 25 May 2016 under game ID 812. The studio’s own description is more forthcoming than usual: “Join this epic adventure and become a true Trojan Warrior… To win 12 Free Spins, protect the Sacred Temple of the Gods from the Spartans, triggered by the appearance of 3 Temple Symbols. During Free Spins, enjoy Stacked Wilds, and retrigger the same amount of Free Spins by landing more Temple Symbols. The formidable Trojan Horse can go Wild, replacing all paytable symbols.”
That single paragraph does more work than most of this studio’s spec sheets. It names the scatter, the trigger count, the free-spin count, the retrigger rule and the wild — all from the studio rather than from a database.
Structurally it is a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 20 paylines, the same shape as Circus Brilliant and 20 Diamonds. The Trojan Horse is the wild, substituting for the paying symbols, and it arrives stacked during the free-spins round — the official Special Features string reads “Free Spins with Stacked Wild Symbols”.
The one number that separates it from everything else in this catalogue is the volatility rating, and it is worth its own section.
The Story Behind Age of Troy
Amusnet publishes a volatility rating on every game page, on a five-point scale. Across the twenty-eight games from this studio we have reviewed, the ratings cluster low: most sit at 1 out of 5 or 2 out of 5, and the highest we had encountered was 4 out of 5 — Dragon Reels, Dice & Roll, Fruits Kingdom and Casino Mania.
Age of Troy is rated 5 out of 5. That is the top of the studio’s scale, and it is the first one we have come across.
To be precise rather than dramatic: it is not the only one. Amusnet also rates Olympus Glory at 5/5, on a game we have not yet reviewed. We checked before writing this, because an unqualified “the only” is the kind of claim that quietly becomes false the moment you review the next game.
Two 5/5 games, then. And the comparison between them turns out to be the most useful thing on this page.
Symbols and Paytable
Amusnet publishes no symbol table for Age of Troy. What follows is what the studio and the databases actually establish.
| The Trojan Horse — the wild | Named by Amusnet itself: “The formidable Trojan Horse can go Wild, replacing all paytable symbols.” It substitutes for the paying symbols, and during the free-spins round it arrives stacked. The studio naming its own wild is rarer in this catalogue than it should be. |
|---|---|
| The Temple — the scatter | The Sacred Temple of the Gods. Three of them trigger the bonus round. No source publishes a reel restriction, so do not assume the middle-reels-only pattern this studio uses on Magellan and the Amazons games. |
| The Trojan warriors and the war symbols | SlotCatalog’s theme tags for the game — helmets, horses, ships, ancient civilisations — match the artwork the studio describes. No source publishes per-symbol pay values. |
| What nobody publishes | Symbol pay values, hit frequency, and whether the twenty lines are fixed or selectable. Amusnet lists “Paylines: 20” without saying which; one source calls them “20 fixed pay-lines you must play on any spin”, but that is a single source adding a word the studio did not. |
Read the published max win as a line figure: 1,000× the line bet, across twenty active lines, is roughly 50× your total bet. Note that this is higher than most games in this catalogue — a fifty-line machine divides the same figure over fifty lines and lands at 20×. Fewer lines is doing you a favour here.
Bonus Features
5 out of 5 — Amusnet’s maximum volatility rating
The studio rates its own games on a five-point scale, and this is the top of it. Across the twenty-eight Amusnet games we have reviewed, most sit at 1/5 or 2/5 and the previous highest was 4/5. SlotCatalog and VegasSlotsOnline independently call the game “High”. Expect long dry stretches broken by the bonus round — that is what maximum variance means in practice.
But the ceiling did not go up with it
Here is the tension at the heart of this game. The published max win is 1,000× the bet per line — the same figure Amusnet puts on games it rates 1/5 and 2/5. Across twenty lines that is about 50× your total bet. You are being asked to accept the studio’s highest variance without being offered a correspondingly bigger top end.
The other 5/5 game does this better
Amusnet also rates Olympus Glory 5/5. It returns 96.23% against this game’s 96.01%, and its published max win is 5,000× the bet per line across ten lines — roughly 500× your total bet, ten times Age of Troy’s effective ceiling. Both figures come from Amusnet’s own pages. If you are shopping for maximum variance in this catalogue, that is the honest comparison.
12 free spins, retriggerable, with stacked wilds
Three Temple symbols award twelve free spins; landing more Temples inside the round retriggers the same amount again; and stacked wilds are active throughout. Amusnet states every part of that on its own page, and VegasSlotsOnline independently confirms the twelve spins, the three-Temple trigger and the same-amount retrigger. For this studio, that is exceptionally well documented.
96.01% — middling, and below the other 5/5
Verified on Amusnet’s official page and matched exactly by SlotCatalog. It sits mid-table in this catalogue, between 40 Crown Hot at 95.98% and Blue Heart at 96.03%. It is above the Super Hot line and below the Bell Link cluster — and it is 0.22 points below Olympus Glory, the game rated for the same variance.
A jackpot on one source only
SlotCatalog tags the game with a progressive jackpot. Amusnet’s own page mentions no jackpot of any kind — not Jackpot Cards, not anything. That is a single secondary source against studio silence, which is thinner evidence than we usually accept, so treat the progressive as something your casino may or may not offer rather than a feature of the game.
A progressive on one database, and silence from the studio
SlotCatalog tags Age of Troy with a “Progressive Jackpot”. That is the whole of the evidence. Amusnet’s official page for this game does not mention a jackpot at all — not by name, not in the feature list, not in the description, which is otherwise the most detailed we have seen from this studio.
If a progressive is running it will be Jackpot Cards, the four-level suit progressive Amusnet operates across its range: it fires at random at the end of any paid spin, twelve face-down cards appear, and you keep turning them until three of one suit match, with Clubs at the bottom and Spades at the top. We describe it here because that is the only progressive this studio runs, not because anyone has documented it on this title.
Two practical consequences. It sits outside the published 96.01%, which describes the reels only. And you should check whether the four counters are actually displayed above the reels before assuming it is live — on a game where the studio itself says nothing, the casino’s screen is the only reliable answer.
The Gamble Feature, Properly Explained
Amusnet lists Gamble among the game’s features without describing it, as usual. The form across the range is the red-or-black card guess: after a win you can risk it on the colour of a face-down card, doubling if you call correctly and losing it all if you do not.
One source adds a useful specific for this title — that you may gamble a prize up to five times in succession. That is a single source, so treat it as reported rather than confirmed, but a step limit of that kind is normal for this studio.
The maths of a colour call is neutral before the house edge and slightly negative after it. It does not raise your expected return; it widens the spread of outcomes. On a game already rated 5 out of 5 for variance, adding a doubling ladder on top is compounding the exact thing that makes this machine difficult to sit through.
- The bonus round is documented by the studio itself — 12 free spins, stacked wilds, same-amount retrigger, all on the official page
- Amusnet names the wild and the scatter, which it usually leaves to third parties
- At roughly 50× your total bet, the effective ceiling is higher than most games in this catalogue, because twenty lines divide the per-line figure less
- 96.01% is verified officially and matched exactly by SlotCatalog
- Maximum 5/5 volatility without a correspondingly large ceiling — the same 1,000× per line Amusnet puts on its gentlest games
- Olympus Glory carries the same 5/5 rating with a higher RTP and roughly ten times the effective ceiling
- 96.01% is mid-table, and below the other maximum-variance game in the range
- The progressive jackpot rests on a single database tag against complete silence from the studio
How Age of Troy Compares
The first two rows are the comparison that matters: the two games we have found carrying Amusnet’s maximum 5-out-of-5 volatility rating.
| Game | Volatility (official) | RTP | Lines | Max win (per line) | Effective ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age of Troy | 5 / 5 | 96.01% | 20 | 1,000× | ≈50× total |
| Olympus Glory | 5 / 5 | 96.23% | 10 | 5,000× | ≈500× total |
| Casino Mania | 4 / 5 | 95.72% | 20 | — | — |
| Circus Brilliant | 3 / 5 | 96.14% | 20 | 1,000× | ≈50× total |
| Magellan | 2 / 5 | 96.14% | 50 | 1,000× | ≈20× total |
Two things to take from that table. First, the second row: Olympus Glory is rated for exactly the same variance and offers a higher return and ten times the ceiling. Both sets of numbers are Amusnet’s own. If you have decided you want maximum variance from this studio, that is the machine to look at first.
Second, compare the last two rows with the first. Circus Brilliant carries the same twenty lines, the same 1,000× per line and therefore the same roughly 50× ceiling — at 3/5 variance and a slightly better RTP. Age of Troy asks you to accept two more points of volatility for no more ceiling and a slightly lower return. That is the trade, stated plainly.
RTP, Volatility and Win Potential
The RTP of Age of Troy is 96.01%. It is published on Amusnet’s official game page and matched exactly by SlotCatalog; VegasSlotsOnline rounds it to 96%. No disagreement anywhere.
It is a middling number for this catalogue. It sits between 40 Crown Hot at 95.98% and Blue Heart at 96.03%, comfortably above the Super Hot line and the classic fruit machines, and below the Bell Link titles that cluster at 96.50%. Against the roughly 96% online average it is essentially level.
The volatility is the number that matters here, and it is the maximum. Amusnet rates every game on a five-point scale and gives this one 5 out of 5. Across the twenty-eight games from this studio we have reviewed, most sit at 1/5 or 2/5, and the previous highest was 4/5. SlotCatalog and VegasSlotsOnline both independently describe it as high variance, so the direction is not in dispute.
What maximum variance means in practice is straightforward: the same 96.01% is returned in a smaller number of larger payouts. Long stretches will do nothing. The free-spins round, when it lands, is doing most of the work. A bankroll that would comfortably survive a session on a 2/5 machine like Magellan can disappear here without anything unusual having happened.
The problem is what you get in exchange. Amusnet publishes the max win as 1,000× the bet per line — the identical figure it puts on games it rates 1/5. Across twenty lines that is roughly 50× your total bet. Now compare Olympus Glory, the studio’s other 5/5 game: 96.23% RTP and 5,000× per line across ten lines, which is about 500× your total bet. Same variance rating, better return, ten times the ceiling. Both numbers come from Amusnet’s own pages, and the comparison is not flattering to this one.
Bets, Bankroll and Session Planning
Amusnet publishes no bet range for Age of Troy. SlotCatalog lists 0.01 to 1000, but that is the generic default it applies across most of its catalogue rather than a researched figure, so we would not state it as fact.
The structure is twenty paylines, so your total stake is twenty times the line bet. Amusnet does not say whether the lines are fixed or selectable — it lists “Paylines: 20” and stops. One source describes them as fixed; that is a single source adding a word the studio did not use, so check the game itself.
Bankroll matters more on this game than on most. At 5/5 volatility the sensible approach is a smaller line bet over more spins than you would normally plan, because the return is concentrated in a bonus round you may wait a long time to see. A stake that feels reasonable on a low-variance Amusnet machine is not reasonable here.
Playing Age of Troy on Mobile
Amusnet lists the game as available for desktop and mobile, and SlotCatalog records it as JS/HTML5, so it runs in a phone browser without a download.
A 5×3 grid with twenty lines is one of the easier layouts to read on a small screen — fifteen symbol positions, no dense middle-reel counting to do, and a clearly signposted bonus trigger in the three Temple symbols. Of the recent games we have reviewed, this is among the more comfortable on a phone.
Five Things to Know Before You Spin
- Treat the 5/5 rating as a bankroll instruction, not a marketing line. It is the top of Amusnet’s own scale and the first one we have met. Plan a smaller line bet over more spins than you would on a 2/5 machine.
- Compare Olympus Glory before you commit. Same 5/5 rating from the same studio, but 96.23% against 96.01% and roughly 500× your total bet against 50×.
- Read the 1,000× as a per-line figure. Across twenty lines it is about 50× your total stake. Anyone quoting 1,000× your total bet has misread the basis.
- Count Temples, and do not assume a reel restriction. Three trigger the round, and no source publishes any limit on where they land — unlike Magellan and the Amazons games, where the scatter is confined to the middle reels.
- Do not count on a progressive. One database tags this game with a jackpot and Amusnet mentions none at all. Look for counters above the reels before you assume anything.

Who Age of Troy Is For
Play it if you actively want high variance and you like the theme. The bonus round is genuinely well documented — twelve free spins with stacked wilds, retriggerable — and at roughly 50× your total bet the ceiling is better than the wide-line games in this catalogue, because twenty lines divide the per-line figure less than fifty do.
Skip it if you want the reward that normally justifies this much variance. Amusnet rates this game as harshly as it rates anything and gives it the same 1,000× per line it gives its gentlest machines. Circus Brilliant offers the same twenty lines and the same ceiling at 3/5 with a slightly better RTP, and Olympus Glory offers the same 5/5 with ten times the top end.

Our Verdict
Maximum volatility, ordinary ceiling
Age of Troy is the first game in this catalogue that Amusnet rates 5 out of 5 for volatility, and that single number is the most important thing on its spec sheet. Across twenty-eight games from this studio, most sit at 1/5 or 2/5 and the previous high-water mark was 4/5. This is as hard as Amusnet says its own games get.
What it gives back is the problem. The published ceiling is 1,000× the bet per line — the identical figure the studio puts on machines it rates as gentle — which across twenty lines is roughly 50× your total bet. High variance is a trade: you accept longer losing runs in exchange for a bigger top end. Here the first half of that trade is at maximum and the second half has not moved.
The comparison that makes the point is Olympus Glory, the studio’s other 5/5 game, which returns 96.23% and publishes 5,000× per line across ten lines — about ten times this game’s effective ceiling. Closer to home, Circus Brilliant offers the same twenty lines and the same roughly 50× ceiling at 3/5 variance with a slightly better return.
We rate it 7.4. It earns real credit for documentation: Amusnet names the Trojan Horse wild, names the Temple scatter, states the twelve free spins, the stacked wilds and the retrigger rule, all on its own page. After a run of games where nothing was published, that deserves saying. But the maths on offer is not competitive with the studio’s own alternatives.
If the theme is what you came for, use the demo first and take the volatility rating seriously — it is the studio’s own warning, and it is at maximum.
