Achilles Deluxe slot: RTG's 2020 remake of a Trojan War classic
RealTime Gaming first told the story of Achilles in a 2012 slot. On August 26, 2020, it returned with Achilles Deluxe, which keeps the Ancient Greece and Troy setting and the progressive jackpot but adds a choice of free spins modes.
The two are separate games with separate specs, so don't assume figures for one apply to the other. The table below covers only the Deluxe version, using third-party data from SlotCatalog's RTG catalog (opens in a new tab); RTG's own site couldn't be checked.
The headline difference is the free spins choice. The original's published 95% RTP and medium rating can't be carried over to Deluxe: a remake can use a different math model, and no source gives the newer game's numbers.
If a published RTP matters to you, the original is the better-documented game. If the free spins choice appeals, Deluxe is the one to look for. RTG also covered the same war in Ares: The Battle for Troy.
Achilles Deluxe free spins: choosing a mode
A free spins mode choice lets you pick between more than one setup for the bonus round instead of receiving a fixed one. Achilles Deluxe lists this feature, but our data doesn't say which options are offered, how many spins each gives or what extras come with them.
Whatever the options are, the choice changes how the round's payouts are spread, not the game's long-run return. Picking one mode over another isn't a way to improve your odds; it's a preference about how bumpy you want the round to be.
Wilds substitute for other symbols, and scatters pay or trigger features anywhere on the reels. The number of scatters that start free spins isn't published, so check the paytable.
We never quote hit rates or how often the free spins or jackpot trigger. No reliable figure is published, and every spin is independent.
The Achilles Deluxe progressive jackpot explained
A progressive jackpot grows as players bet, with a slice of wagers feeding the prize until someone wins it, after which it resets. RTG runs progressives across its casinos; our page on the RTG progressive jackpot system explains the general setup.
Our data doesn't give the jackpot's current size, its seed value, how it's triggered or whether a minimum bet is needed. Look for those rules in the game's help screen before you play, because some progressives can only be won at certain stakes.
Two practical points follow. First, the 2,000x listed max win may describe the base game only, with the jackpot on top; SlotCatalog doesn't say. Second, the jackpot is an extremely unlikely outcome on any single spin. Our guides to progressive jackpots and jackpot odds put that in perspective.
Playing Achilles Deluxe on $50: stakes and costs
With no published RTP, the cost of a session can only be shown per point of house edge. One point costs $1 for every $100 wagered. On progressive games, a share of each bet typically feeds the jackpot, which is one reason the base game can feel tighter.

To use the table: if the casino's info screen showed 95%, the edge would be 5 points, so 300 spins at $1 would cost about $15 on average. That's an illustration, not this game's RTP. The 300-spin count is a comparison figure only.
Raising your stake to chase the jackpot isn't a sound plan; it speeds up losses at the same edge. The chasing losses guide explains why, and bankroll management shows how to set a stake you can sustain.
This is the part most reviews skip. Many casinos bar progressive jackpot slots from bonus play, and wagering on an excluded game can void bonus winnings. Among our partners, SlotoCash's welcome bonus terms (opens in a new tab) exclude progressive jackpot slots, and Silver Oak's terms list progressives among excluded games. For that reason they aren't offered on this page.
The partners shown here, Planet 7, Royal Ace and Slot Madness, have reported terms that don't mention progressives either way. Before using bonus funds on Achilles Deluxe:
Open the casino's bonus terms and search for 'progressive' and 'jackpot'.
Check the list of excluded or restricted games for Achilles Deluxe by name.
Ask live chat or email support whether the game counts toward wagering, and save the reply.
If the answer is unclear, play Achilles Deluxe with your own cash balance only, or not at all while a bonus is active.
Note the max bet rule, since a jackpot minimum bet could break it.
If you want the theme without the progressive exclusion problem, Hercules the Immortal and Fortunate Zeus have no listed jackpot. More are in our RTG slot reviews.
Is Achilles Deluxe legal to play in the USA?
Only seven states license real-money online casinos: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island. RTG titles such as Achilles Deluxe are offered mainly by offshore casinos that no US state licenses.
Your state's law decides what's allowed. Offshore play means no state regulator, no state protection for your balance and casino-set terms, which matters most if you ever win a jackpot. Michigan's Gaming Control Board named Planet 7 on April 9, 2025, and Slot Madness on August 14, 2025, in cease-and-desist actions against what it calls illegal offshore operators (August 2025 release (opens in a new tab)); Royal Ace isn't named in the releases we track. Read do offshore casinos pay out before chasing a big prize.

Frequently asked questions
What is the RTP of Achilles Deluxe?
No source we have publishes Achilles Deluxe's RTP, so we don't give one. The original Achilles is listed at 95%, but a remake can use different math, so that figure shouldn't be borrowed. Check the info screen in your casino, and note whether its figure includes the jackpot contribution. For the basics, see what RTP is.
Does Achilles Deluxe have a progressive jackpot?
Yes, a progressive jackpot is among Achilles Deluxe's listed features. The data doesn't give its size, seed value, trigger or any minimum bet, so read the game's help screen. A progressive grows from a share of bets until it's won, and the chance on any one spin is tiny. Our explainer what is a progressive jackpot covers how they work.
What is the max win on Achilles Deluxe?
SlotCatalog lists 2,000x the total bet: $2,000 on a $1 spin or $500 on a $0.25 spin. It doesn't say whether that includes the progressive jackpot, which may pay on top. Treat the figure as third-party and a ceiling rather than a likely result. Jackpot and big wins are taxable; our cashing out big wins guide explains the next steps.
How is Achilles Deluxe different from the original Achilles?
Achilles Deluxe is the 2020 remake of RTG's 2012 Achilles, and the main change is a choice of free spins modes. Both are Trojan War slots with free spins, wilds, scatters and a progressive. The original has a published 95% RTP and medium rating, while neither figure is published for Deluxe. Read our Achilles slot review for the original's details.
Can I use a bonus on Achilles Deluxe?
Possibly not. Many casinos exclude progressive jackpot slots from bonus play: SlotoCash and Silver Oak do so in their published terms, and playing an excluded game can void winnings. The partners on this page don't address progressives in the terms we have, so ask support before using bonus funds. The usual rules are set out in what games count toward wagering.
How does the free spins choice work in Achilles Deluxe?
Achilles Deluxe lists a free spins mode choice, meaning you pick between more than one setup for the bonus round. Our data doesn't say what the options are or how many spins each gives, so check the paytable. The choice affects how wins are spread in the round, not the game's long-run return. See slot volatility explained for how risk and reward trade off.
Is Achilles Deluxe a high volatility slot?
Its volatility isn't published, so we can't rate it. Progressive slots often hold back part of their return for the jackpot, which can make the base game feel tighter, but that's a general tendency rather than a rating for this game. If the casino shows a volatility label, use it. Our page on what volatility is explains the scale.
Where can I play Achilles Deluxe in the US?
Look at offshore RTG casinos, such as the partners on this page, and confirm Achilles Deluxe is in the lobby, since none has confirmed it for us. Those casinos aren't licensed by any US state, and state-licensed sites in the seven legal states rarely carry RTG games. Check your state's law first; our guide to offshore casino legality explains the federal and state rules.
Can I play Achilles Deluxe on my phone?
Probably, if your casino carries it, because the partners on this page all run in mobile browsers rather than through an app. Third-party reviews describe Planet 7 as instant play on Android and iOS, list Royal Ace as an instant-play and mobile casino, and say Slot Madness has no app but works in Chrome and Safari on phones. None has confirmed Achilles Deluxe itself, so search the lobby on your phone before depositing. Our mobile casino guide explains how browser casinos work on small screens.
Is Achilles Deluxe legal to play in Ohio?
Ohio doesn't license online casinos, so Achilles Deluxe isn't available through any Ohio-approved site, even though sports betting has been legal and state-licensed there since January 1, 2023. Bills to legalize online casinos, HB 298 and SB 197, had stalled by October 2026. The Ohio Casino Control Commission says illegal sites offer no consumer protections and recommends blocking tools. Some third-party reports also say certain offshore brands refuse Ohio players. Our Ohio online casinos page covers the state's law in Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati.
What is the minimum deposit for Achilles Deluxe at Slot Madness?
Third-party listings report a $30 minimum for card deposits at Slot Madness and $5 for Lightning Bitcoin, and its reported welcome match also starts at $30. The withdrawal minimum is reported at $20. These are review-site figures rather than the casino's own published terms, so confirm in the cashier. A smaller deposit gives fewer spins on a game whose RTP isn't published, so size your stake to the budget. The Slot Madness review covers its banking and terms in full.
How would an Achilles Deluxe jackpot be paid at an offshore casino?
A large Achilles Deluxe win at an offshore casino is usually paid in installments, because these casinos set weekly withdrawal limits, and you'll need to pass identity checks first. Planet 7's weekly cap is reported at $2,500, and wins from bonus play can be cut by max cashout rules, such as the $1,000 reported on Planet 7's WELCOME200 match. There's no state regulator to appeal to if a payout stalls. Our casino withdrawal limits page shows how weekly caps stretch a big win over time.
Do offshore casinos report Achilles Deluxe jackpots to the IRS?
Whatever the casino does, an Achilles Deluxe jackpot is taxable federal income, and reporting it is your responsibility. For 2026 payments, slot wins of $2,000 or more meet the IRS W-2G threshold, but income below that is taxable too. From the 2026 tax year, the loss deduction is reported to be limited to 90% of losses and only up to your winnings, so check IRS guidance. Keep records of deposits and withdrawals. The answer on whether offshore casinos report to the IRS explains the reporting gap.
Should I play Achilles Deluxe or Ares: The Battle for Troy?
It depends on what you want, since the two RTG Trojan War slots are built differently. Achilles Deluxe uses 20 betways, carries a progressive jackpot, adds a free spins mode choice and lists a 2,000x max win. Ares: The Battle for Troy, from 2015, pays 243 ways and lists no progressive, which avoids the progressive exclusions in some bonus terms. Neither publishes an RTP or volatility rating. Our Ares: The Battle for Troy review has its specs.
