Reign of Zeus

Greek mythology is still fascinating, even though people have drifted towards other religious beliefs during the past couple of thousands of years. Ancient Greek literature has made those old Gods stick into the World’s culture, inspiring people and artists to this day. 

The video slots industry has been inspired by Greek mythology as well, there are quite a few titles that feature Gods and heroes from those ancient tales. Reign of Zeus comes from the same place, but let’s see if the developers at Betixon managed to make it stand out among the plethora of games with the same source of inspiration. 

Theme

The reels are placed on the steps of an ancient Greek temple, with stone columns on either side and an intricate bas-relief above the entrance. The temple featured in Reign of Zeus seems to be located among the clouds, probably high up on Mount Olympus. 

Unfortunately, there are just three symbols related to Greek mythology in the game: Zeus himself and two younger gods or demi-gods. The soundscape does a good job of accompanying the gameplay. 

Betting Options and Functions

The slot has a rather unusual setup, there are 5 reels but only the three central ones have 4 rows, the other two have 3 rows each. The game has 20 fixed paylines, while winning combinations are formed when you have at least three matching symbols in succession from left to right. 

Apart from the three symbols mentioned earlier, we also have gems in the shape of playing card suits, with two versions for both diamonds and spades. The most valuable icon in the base game is Zeus. 

Features

The real power of the Gods becomes obvious when the special features of this game come into play: 

• Free Spins

The special symbol of a fist holding a lightning bolt is the Scatter, and when three of them pop up anywhere on the screen you will be treated to a round of 10 Free Spins. 

These also come with multipliers, the free rolls round starts with a x2 multiplier which can go all the way up to x10 if you also manage to land some Wilds during the session. 

• Wild

The Wild is the most powerful symbol in this game, even stronger than Zeus himself. It comes in the shape of a soldier helmet, and it does the usual job of substituting for any symbol except the scatter. 

But in this game the Wild does a lot more than that! 

When it helps form a winning combination it will also trigger a respin with a x2 multiplier! And its powers don’t stop there, regardless of the outcome of that respin you will get another with an x3 multiplier, and then another with x4 and finally a respin with a juicy x5 multiplier! 

This is the feature that can get you the big prizes in this slot! 

Conclusion

Reign of Zeus is definitely not an original title when it comes to its theme, but Betixon have managed to spice things up with the Wild mechanics. Those respins with multipliers make this game stand out and they really give you the possibility of landing some good wins. 

The graphics are not among the most eye-catching you will see, especially when it comes to modern slots, but the gameplay should be rewarding enough to make this title worthwhile.
