Zeus God of Thunder

Thunderbolts and lightning! Zeus is no Queen, but he is the God of Thunder in Greek mythology as well as in this SG Interactive’s slot. The company has more than one game centering around the theme, this one produced by Williams game development studio. Rumbling thunder and lightning skies are combined with thirty paylines running across five reels and four rows. With several jackpots to be won the game is worth a few spins.

Theme

The storm brews in the distance and if you are lucky enough it will make its way to the reels, as this is what triggers the jackpot feature. There are a few low-paying symbols, presented as the Jack to Ace card values, which offer small wins and function to fill the reels. The central theme is visible in the wilds, and the top symbols: Zeus himself, the Lion, the Eagle, lightning, wreath and the vase. The ominous music is interrupted by the sweet sound of cash wins from time to time.

Betting Options and Functions

Thirty fixed paylines with a stake that can be set between 0.01 and one coins per line forms the primary bet. On top of this, the player plays a bonus bet of 20 times the set coin value. And if he so desires he can set an extra bet, which makes the bonus bet 45 times the coin value. The extra can be used to increase the prizes of the bonus features.

The bet per line has a direct effect on the possible jackpot wins. The higher it is the higher the possible wins are. There are a total of five different jackpots to be won, the largest rising all the way to 100 000 coins. These are not progressive jackpots.

Features

Should the thunder come rumbling through the reels, and it will at random, the player has a chance to activate the bonus wheels. This requires that at least three adjacent symbols have the background visible. There are three possible wheels, each activating with three, four or five adjoining symbols in turn. The first two wheels can award a spin at the next wheel as a result, or all wheels can award some of the jackpots, free spins or extra wilds.

If the extra bet is activated the rewards from the wheels will double. This means that you can win up to a hundred free spins, or for example get 12 wilds on the screen for one lucky spin.

Our Take

Zeus God of Thunder is a low-paying slot. Ideally, it is played with a low bet and with the extra bet activated. This gives the player a lot of room to prey on the jackpots as well as the free spins. Outside of these the wins are quite low and don’t come around too often. This game is worth trying, and we can say it is not everyone’s cup of tea.
