Zeus The Thunderer Slot Review

How to play

Resting against the mighty temple is a reel set with five columns and four symbols spanning each column. 20 fixed pay lines that begin from the leftmost reel run across the grid. The lines guide you in forming winning combinations. Thanks to a minimalist platform, the Zeus the Thunderer video slot is easy to operate and play.

Pressing the Stacked Coins opens the bet settings window from where you hand-pick your preferred bet size. Only eight levels are on offer from €0.20 to €40 for every round. Always remember to choose a stake that aligns with your playing budget. Click the thunderous Spin button to turn the reels once. Or, avoid the hustle of clicking after every game by using the Autoplay option. It will enable you to set various customized games that play continuously. Tapping on the Fast Spin button activates speedy gameplay. Use the menu icon to access the paytable and advanced game settings.

Symbols and payouts

This video slot uses up to 10 regular symbols and two special icons. Depending on their category, all symbols create wins with at least two or three identical characters. All prizes are for combinations that span from left to right, beginning with the leftmost column. Inside the paytable, you can check the symbols' pay that is proportional to the selected bet. Per every bet line, only the most valuable win pays out.

The card symbols, Tens to Aces, are the lowest valued icons in the Zeus the Thunderer slot. Three or more of the low tier symbols pay anywhere between 0.25x and 6x the set bet. An Ancient Greek Pottery, a Golden Pair of Heraklion Horns, Aphrodite, Hades, and Zeus form the premium tier. Unlike the low-value one, you need two or more of a kind to receive up to 7x, 7.5x, 8.75x, 10x, and 15x your staked bet, respectively. The three Olympians also trigger the free games.

The Wild symbol replaces all regular icons.  Further, it pays up to 25x the stake for up to five of its kind.

Best Zeus the Thunderer bonus feature

The Lightning can appear in both the base and bonus games. Two to five scatter symbols in the base game can award up to 50x the base bet. During the bonus mode, every scattered Lightning on screen awards +1 Zeus the Thunderer free spin features. But, no winning combination of scatter symbols forms during the bonus plays.

A winning combo of three or more Olympian symbols in the main game only awards one of three types of bonus spins. The amount can be seven, 15, or 25 plays depending on the number of Olympians landed:

• Zeus – every Zeus symbol turns sticky. 
• Hades – all Hades become frozen.
• Aphrodite – all Aphrodite icons convert to become sticky.

The sticky symbols stay up to the end of the current free games or until they match a paying sequence. They overlap any characters below them.

The Risk “N’ Buy feature goes live after every spin of the base game, regardless of whether there’s a win. The feature allows you to either risk the current payout and instantly enter the free spins feature. Or, buy the free games at the specified cost. If you agree to risk or buy, the game deducts the current win or indicated amount from your balance in the form of a bet. This Zeus the Thunderer feature isn’t available during Autoplay.

RTP & Volatility

The theoretical 95.3% Zeus the Thunderer RTP is below average. But, it represents the expected payback after prolonged gameplay. With low volatility, players can expect a rather high hit frequency. So, this game is an ideal option, even for inexperienced bettors.
