King of Gods

King of Gods, who else but Zeus? The Greek themes are quite common among slot producers, or actually, Zeus himself is quite popular with any other aspect of Greek history, culture, and mythology being completely sidestepped. As such, this game doesn’t bring much of anything new to the table. But how about the features, the pays and the winlines? At first look, the game looks somewhat generic. It does come with some big wins to make up for this.

Theme

The heavenly abode far atop Mount Olympus reveals endless clouds. As it is Zeus in question it should come as no surprise that storm and lightning are brewing in the background. Such strength can only be combined with bombastic music, which in this case would fit any Hollywood drama film well. The game comes with the usual playing card ranks, that have received some extra angles to fit the theme. The remaining symbols come from Greek mythology.

Betting Options and Functions

The reel setup is standard, with only nine fixed paylines running from left to right. On these, you can land eleven different symbols, which keeps the variance a bit higher than normal. Betting is done via the bet selector, with wins calculated from the per line bet. Variance is somewhat high, so you might want to start with smaller bets to test out the game.

The minimum win you can land is five times your line bet, which is handed out by the playing card ranks. The themed symbol give out the same five times bet per line, however, they do this with just two symbols. With three they dish out a win between 30 and 100 times your bet. With five symbol combinations, the payouts get higher with each symbol, finally reaching five thousand times your line bet with the golden lightning. That’s quite a pot.

Features

When Zeus gathers up his scattered being in the reels three strong you are rewarded with free spins. Eight free games are handed out initially. While it is possible to retrigger the spins during the feature, indefinitely, most likely you won't be that lucky. The free spins also come with a mystery scatter, which is one of the symbols chosen at random. They will then pay out no matter what position they show up in; as long as there are enough of them on the screen after a spin you are going to cash in.

Our Take

Quite frankly, there are a ton of slots with the same theme in the markets. Skywind has done something right though, as the game is very easy to play, and the 5000 times your line bet max win is very enticing. Add in the turbo feature and you end up spinning the reels faster than you can afford. The game is best played on mobile devices and does very well for five minutes worth of entertainment and wins. Take the risk if you want to win big.
