Zeus: Legends of Olympus Slot Review

The Zeus: Legends of Olympus slot sends you soaring up into the clouds to meet Zeus, the chief of the ancient Greek deities and the god of the sky. He stands beside the reels while you play, and lightning crackles and flashes across the clouds around him. 

Along with the eye-catching graphics, Zeus: Legends of Olympus features exciting and cinematic music (which you might expect if you’ve played other slots inspired by ancient Greek mythology).

As for the symbols, these include six royals (9 - Ace), a harp, a goblet, a soldier’s helmet, a soldier’s armour, and a flaming torch. The helmet awards the biggest prize of 5x your bet. As you can see, the symbol values are incredibly small.

• 9, 10: 3 - 0.10x bet / 4 - 0.30x bet / 5 - 0.50x bet
• Jack, Queen: 3 - 0.20x bet / 4 - 0.50x bet / 5 - 1x bet
• King, Ace: 3 - 0.40x bet / 4 - 0.80x bet / 5 - 2x bet
• Golden Harp, Golden Goblet: 3 - 0.50x bet / 4 - 1x bet / 5 - 2.50x bet
• Torch: 3 - 0.80x bet / 4 - 1.50x bet / 5 - 3x bet
• Armour: 3 - 0.80x bet / 4 - 1.50x bet / 5 - 4x bet
• Helmet: 2 - 0.20x bet / 3 - 1x bet / 4 - 2x bet / 5 - 5x bet

Zeus: Legends of Olympus includes a bonus game with three different features to try and four jackpots to unlock.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol substitutes for all others on the paytable to help finish winning combinations. It can appear on reels 2 - 4 only.

Jewel Symbols

Three jewel symbols (red, blue, and gold) may hit the reels in the base game. Each time one lands, it will be added to the corresponding urn above the reels and may trigger the relevant feature.

The bonus game takes place on a compact grid with five reels and three rows, though you can unlock more. You’ll receive three lives at the start. 

Coin symbols carrying prize values can land and reveal additional rows on the grid. Whenever a new coin appears, your lives will reset back to three. Once the round ends, all coin values will be added together.

Double Coins Feature

The blue jewel symbol may trigger the Double Coins feature. Some coin symbols will land as double versions and count as two coins, helping to unlock rows faster.

Pot Fill Feature

The red jewel symbol can activate the Pot Fill feature. During this feature, certain coin symbols may help you win one of the following jackpot prizes:

• Mini - 10x bet

• Minor - 20x bet

• Major - 50x bet

• Grand - 1,000x bet

Zeus Boost Feature

The gold jewel symbol can trigger the Zeus Boost feature. At random, Zeus will increase the value of one or more coins already on the grid (up to 100x your bet).

Bonus Buy

With the Bonus Buy option, you can pay to start the bonus game with a mystery feature (60x your bet) or all three features (100x your bet).

Gamble Feature

You may turn the Gamble feature on or off. When active, this will trigger after wins of 5x your bet or more. This gives you a chance to double or triple your winnings.

Zeus: Legends of Olympus is a decent slot, but it has a few issues. One is the small payouts on offer, with low symbol values and a maximum of 1,000x your bet. Another is the below-average RTP and the high volatility, which can make wins less common than you might like.

Fortunately, the bonus game with three varied features works well and can lead to larger prizes. But with so many slots set in ancient Greece on the market, you can find numerous others with more features, higher payouts, and a stronger RTP.
