Zeus III Slot

Unfortunately Zeus III is one of them slots I had terrible experiences with due to losing more than 500 euros in a single session.

I have to admit I was betting high though with 1.60 euro per spin. What also didn’t help was the fact that I probably had to wait more than 1,000 spins to unlock the free spins feature. In those cases it’s better to leave the slot alone instead of chasing the feature. I had to learn it to the hard way and still sometimes make that mistake.

However, it shouldn’t be a too big of a negative factor while writing this review. Zeus III certainly has a lot of things I do like in a slot as well. The format is extremely different from what the average slot looks like. We have to give WMS some credit here for their creativity. Zeus III offers 6-reels and 192-paylines, but the first reel only has 2 rows, the second reel has 3 rows, third reel has 4 rows, fourth reel has 5 rows, fifth reel has 6 rows and the sixth reel has 7 rows.

So this game offers the possible to have a six-of-a-kind and that 192 times. However, let’s not get carried away since it’s extremely difficult to get there. In addition, Zeus III offers wilds and the Zeus logo will turn into a wild as well if it covers the whole reel.

Because of this and the layout of this game, Zeus III is quite entertaining to play. I failed to have any decent wins during the base game though. Don’t think I won more than 50x bet size, but then again I was chasing the free spins.

You need 3, 4 or 5 scatters to unlock the 10, 25 or 50 free spins. After a long time I finally managed to get 3 scatters to win 10 free spins. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I saw the reels getting flipped from right to left, meaning the first reel all of a sudden had 7 rows and the other reels followed the same slot format in opposite direction ending up with reel six having 2 rows.

In other words, the odds of winning something significantly increase during free spins. But that’s not all folks! The Zeus symbol turns into an expanding wild during free spins, which contributes to your success heavily as well. Although I saw a few of those expanding wilds during my feature, I failed to get a significant return on my investment. I won like 75x bet size and decided to switch to another game with 500 euro net loss.

I guess I was just unlucky, but despite my loss this game can definitely be terrific if it reaches its full potential during FS.

is slot is somewhere in between the love and hate relationship. At first look this is a very strange game. It has 6 reels and 192 paylines. The graphic and animations are on the same descent level like all the other slot games coming from this software provider. The minimum bet is 0.40 euros so you will need a higher bankroll to try this game for real money. The main symbol of the game is Zeus and if he comes stacked on an entire reel then the whole reel becomes wild. I think this is one of the main features that make this game interesting to play. There is also a wild symbol who substitutes for all other symbols except the Feature symbol. The Feature symbol is the hand of Zeus Holding a lightning and 3 of them award you 10 free spins. If you get 4 of these lightning’s you will get 25 free spins plus 10 x total bet win. For 5 of these on the reels you will get an incredible 50 free spins plus 50 x total bet.

With this the game is more generous in free spins than the rest of the slots from Williams Interactive. You can see the winning potential of the game here. That’s where the love to this slot comes from.

played at minimum bet, which is set to 0.40€. I think this is ok, but it could be set to 0.30€ because all other 243 payways slots has that minimum stake and this game has lower paylines.

The big winnings here came from free spins feature. Well at least I think so. To trigger free spins feature you must hit at least 3 scatters symbols. I like the fact that feature could be also retriggered during free spins, but I think this don't happen often. While I was playing it, I thought that will be easier to get those scatters. Almost at the end when my balance was near to zero, I received it but they poor. Few euros. After that I played a couple of spins and I lost the money.

I like this game because it could produce big winnings. But to do that you must have luck and received some wild reels into this game. I saw some videos and it could really pay good on this minimum stake.

Some of this I agree with though I suspect that for many regular gamblers it is the sudden wide scale availability of these games, previously restricted to a single on-line casino (Jackpot Party, I believe) and machines inside land based casinos which has caught peoples attention. Games such as Zeus and Ruby Slippers were often featured in Youtube videos paying out enormous sums in Vegas but the majority of players were unable to experience these slots whereas now they can - looked at in this light, the sudden rush of people flocking to try these games was bound to cause a burst of publicity.

If you are not familiar with any WMS games then Zeus III might well look a little strange to you - the reels expanding from left to right is quite common in their games but has rarely been seen in the on-line world until now. This arrangement allows for a steeply arranged paytable but also increases the number of dead spins because of the small 2 symbol high first reel - if you do not match those first two reels you've hit a dead end unless you happen to score three or more FEATURE symbols to start the free spins mode.

The paytable looks a little alarming at first with the top symbol returning a maximum of 10x stake, but bear in mind there are stacked wilds on all six reels therefore it is possible to score 192 of these simultaneously! The game does not state it's maximum jackpot within the paytable as you might expect but interestingly it does mention there is a maximum payout per spin of 250,000.00 - I would hope that all honest casinos will enforce a maximum stake designed to avoid a player hitting this limit and losing a large chunk of their win but the majority of players are unlikely to ever have a problem regardless - how many people ever play at 125 per spin?!

Zeus III is not my favourite WMS game but if you are yet to try their games it might be a good place to start - it's much less brutal than Raging Rhino whilst still retaining a decent sized maximum payout.

Greek mythology is very interesting and this might be the main reason why a lot of gaming provider making games based on it.

Williams Interactive or WMS, is one of the leading gaming providers in the world of gambling and I think their games are marvelous. One of their best is Kronos but they also have another great games namely the Zeus series. I have played the first Zeus game at a landbased casino and it was amazing game to play. I didn't know that this game is also available online since a few years ago. As soon I found out about it, I played the game for 4 hours non stop.

Playing a game a few hours straight might bored you and it actually did but then I saw Zeus III. A totally different game than it's predecessors. The shape of the game was new to me and I like new things. First, I need to explore the game. Yes, I also could read the manual/info but I like to be surprised. The game has 192 paylines, scatters and wild reels. Now, I must be honest, it was hard to win 3 scatters and I had to spin a lot to win the bonus round.

Zeus III has an interesting concept, when the bonus feature is triggered, the reels are flipped and Zeus symbol are stacked and stretched when they appear on a reel. It's almost impossible to have Zeus symbol on every reel though. There are few other games that have the same gameplay as Zeus, one of them is Red Flag Fleet but I think Zeus III is way better.

Zeus is a character that used for games quite a lot. There are now about 5 variations of Zeus games in the market, at least that's what I know but I think there are more of them. Zeus III could be generous if you're patience. Recently, the game has been updated, it runs smoothly now and no lags.

Even in free spins you need to get 4 or more wilds to get a decent win.

It is also very difficult for me to get the bonus. It takes me a very long time and I have to try everything to get it. Most of the times I get it on double tap but it cost me lots of money. Over all I only managed to get a good pay in this game one time. All of the other times I win around €10 on it.

So over all the game has its moments and looks great, but you need to catch it at the right time. My rating 6 out of 10.

The most unpleasant fact here are the existence of only two lines on reel 1 followed by only 3 lines on reel 2.It is very difficult to get a win under these conditions. “3 of a kind” pay 1 cent and “4 of a kind” pay 3 cents and if the symbols were not stacked, the total wins would be extremely small.

High minimum bet of 40 cents and very difficult to trigger free spins.

Now for the hate part of the game. Baseline wins are pretty small and sometimes you can go 10 spins without hitting anything and after that you get a 1 euro win which is pretty disappointing. I have never won more than 3 Feature symbols on the reels and I have managed to retrigger them only once or twice. Overall be very careful when you play this game. If it doesn’t pay fast it will probably never pay.

The bad thing is that free spins feature is hard to get. I would also like to see quick spin button and better graphics. Especially with symbols. But this is WMS software so I will get used to it as long as they will provide this kind of games that could bring you a lot of money.

The game features 192 paylines which might sound like a lot, but bear in mind that the slots unusual layout would actually allow for a theoretical maximum of 5040 paylines! It's not surprising that WMS create other games with this layout that utilise ways to win rather than paylines and I have to say I prefer that system despite the fact that the paytable wins are quite significantly reduced in that setup.
