Olympus Zeus Megaways

Olympus Zeus Megaways Review

Most people who’ve played online slots know that Zeus is the god of thunder and lightning, but few know that Zeus was also known as quite a prankster. He would turn people into animals, among other things, but in Olympus Zeus Megaways he’s sticking to his thunderbolt duty. This is a fairly straightforward dynamic grid release from iSoftBet, but it comes with an enjoyable audiovisual presentation and a decent set of features.

The thunder god is by your side in all stages of the game, and he can send his lightning bolts down to transform random symbols into wilds. You can also get the Max Megaways feature at random times, which stretches the grid to its very limits. Cascading wins increase the unlimited bonus round multiplier, and this is how you’re most likely to close in on the 20,000x potential. Nothing revolutionary to see here, but still a worthwhile release to take for a spin or two.

Olympus Zeus Megaways Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2x and 7.5x for 6 of a kind wins, while the top-tier Zeus symbol pays 50x your stake for the same. You can land wilds anywhere in this game, and wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins. Wilds pay the same as the Zeus symbol if you land pure wild wins. Winning symbols are removed and replaced by new and/or existing symbols dropping down from above, and this Cascading mechanic goes on as long as your winning streak lasts.

The Max Megaways feature can trigger at any given time, and it will be announced by the voice of Zeus when it happens. This maxes out the grid with 7 positions per reel, which gives you 117,649 ways to win.

The Zeus Wilds Feature can also trigger at random times, and it too will be duly announced by the godly voice of Zeus. He then fires his lightning bolts at random positions, and these are upgraded to wild symbols. Scatters will never be converted, and you are guaranteed a win when this feature triggers.

The Zeus Bonus Round comes about when you land 3, 4, or 5 Zeus scatters in view, and this gives you 12, 17, and 22 free spins, respectively. The win multiplier starts at x1, and it increases by +1 per cascading win. The multiplier has no upper limit, and it never resets for as long as the bonus round lasts.

You win +5 or +10 extra spins from 3 or 4 scatters in the same cascading sequence. On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 75x the stake, and this gives you at least 12 free spins.

Review Summary

The audiovisual presentation is admittedly epic and quite enjoyable, but there is very little new to see in Olympus Zeus Megaways. Zeus is by your side at all times, looking all high and mighty, and you get a few modifiers to spice things up also in the base game. The cascading mechanic, top sliding reel, max megaways, and random wilds are hardly revolutionary stuff, but it still adds up to a decent dynamic grid experience.

We have seen countless Greek mythology slots, but Olympus Zeus Megaways still manages to come across as fresh and appealing. Well, at least to a certain degree, and this is definitely an above average release. The bonus round has a decent hit rate of 1 in 271 spins, and the Zeus Wild feature comes about every 164 spins on average. The 20,000x potential is above average for this engine as well, and this is a nice allrounder game that most players can enjoy.
