ZEUS SLOT

Zeus is a slot machine themed to the legends of Ancient Greece. The design of the slot by WMS includes five reels and 30 lines. In the bottom you can find a panel with settings and controls of the slot.

The slot combines 9 regular pictures and 2 special icons such as the Wild and the Scatter symbols. The bonus game is featured as a round of free spins.

How to operate the Zeus slot machine

The control panel of the Zeus slot is presented in two versions at once. Using the C and QB buttons found in the bottom left corner of the panel, you can choose a comfortable version of the slot settings.

Classic control panel

Clicking the C button activates the panel presented in the classic version. You can find here several sections for adjusting the main game options:

• The Lines section determines the number of active lines in Zeus used to form combinations. You can set any value between 1 and 30;
• The Bet / Lines section is used to select the size of the line bet. The range of bets for one line varies from 0.3 to 150 credits.

To adjust the values in both variants, use the “-” and “+” buttons. The slot calculates the total bet automatically and displays it in the Total Bet box.

To start the slot, these buttons are used:

• Spin activates a single spin of the reels. This mode appeals to players who prefer to use strategies based on bet variations. After every spin, you can change the bet for one line and for one spin, accordingly;
• Autoplay is to activate the automatic spins mode. This mode of the slot enables you to play Zeus without taking any additional action. Just click the button and watch the game process. To return to the “manual” control, you have to click the button again.

Updated control panel

Clicking the QB button opens the control panel window in the updated format. In this version, the Bet / Lines and the Lines sections are replaced with several separate buttons. Each shows available options of the total bet in credits. To wager a bet on the Zeus slot machine, just click the button to set the desired value.

To change the bet value in coins, you can use a special “indicator” under the buttons. Moving its “slider” to the left or to the right, you can change the number of coins. As you do this, the values in credits change. The corresponding numbers are displayed on the buttons.

Players appreciate the range of bets offered by the Zeus online slot machine. The cost of spins varies between 0.3 and 150 credits.

To start a spin of the reels, use the large blue button with one circular arrow found in the far right corner. To activate the automatic mode of the slot, hit the button with the double arrow in the left of the control panel.

Additionally, in both versions, it is possible to adjust custom settings and open the help window on the screen.

Forming combinations and calculating winnings

The main goal of any player is to collect the highest-paying combination. To create winning combinations in the Zeus online slot, you need to get from 3 to 5 identical pictures on the line. The pictures should land on the neighbouring reels, starting with the leftmost. When identical pictures appear on several lines, the winnings are summed up.

The amount of your winnings is calculated the ordinary way. The bet per line is multiplied by the specific factor corresponding to each combination of the specific pictures.

In the paytable, the winnings are indicated directly in credits. Wit this approach, the players need not make complex calculations before wagering a bet on the Zeus slot. You can learn the detailed options in the information section by opening its window on the screen with the Paytable button.

Symbols of the Zeus slot machine

Traditionally, the symbols of the Zeus slot are divided into two categories: common and special symbols.

The slot comes with no alphanumeric pictures. The common pictures are exclusively of the slot’s theme:

• Zeus is the highest-paying symbol of the slot, presented in the form of a picture that occupies 3 boxes of the reels. Unlike other symbols, it is able to form winning combinations when 2 or more pictures land on the line. With a maximum bet of 150 credits, the Zeus slot awards you with 20, 250, 1,000, and 2,500 credits for a combo of 2, 3, 4, and 5 pictures, respectively.
• Pegasus gets you 200, 750, and 2,000 credits;
• the boat and the helmet — 150, 500, and 1,750;
• the vase and the lyre — 100, 500, and 1,250;
• both gold and silver coins — 75, 375 and 1,000;
• the laurel wreath — 25, 250 and 750.

Along with that, the Zeus online slot machine has two special icons:

• the ancient temple is the Wild symbol. The symbol has one function: it replaces the common pictures, helping to form combinations. This icon cannot create combos of its own.
• the Zeus hand, holding the lightning, is the Scatter. 3–5 pictures landing on the screen are considered a winning cobmo regardless of their positions in the boxes. No reward in credits is provided for such combinations. However, these combinations are considered the most valuable. It is for them that the online slot machine gives access to the bonus round.

Free spins

The bonus round presents a series of free spins. The duration of free spins directly depends on the number of Scatters that activated the round. With a combination of three pictures, the online slot enables you to get 10 free spins. Four or five pictures get you 25 and 100 free spins, respectively.

In the Zeus slot machine, the round of free spins is presented in the classical version. In the course of the bonus round of spins, no additional special symbols or special options are used.

But still, there are some advantages. By landing the combination with Scatters again, you get additional 10–100 spins.

The bonus game in the Zeus slot can award you with the largest payouts. As experienced players claim, the round of free spins is the main secret that enables you to win money in the Zeus slot game.

According to official reports of WMS, the slot is characterised by a good return to player. In the longer term, it returns 95.97% of the credits put at stake, which is one of the most decent figures among other game slots.
