Zeus vs Hades Gods of War Slot Review

Zeus vs Hades Gods of War Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Zeus vs Hades Gods of War slot is played on a 5×5 grid but comes with 15 fixed paylines rather than being a grid slot with cluster pays. All wins pay from left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel. Only the highest win is paid per line.

Stakes range from 10p up to £100 per spin. Catering to all pockets, you can adjust your stake by hitting the + and – buttons on either side of the spin button. Autoplay and turbo spins are also options If you’re a non-UK player.

The Zeus vs Hades Gods of War slot RTP is 96.07%, which is just above the industry average. Many Pragmatic Play slot games tend to be above the average figure, which is great to see from a player’s perspective. In terms of volatility, it’s maxed out and rated as 5 out of 5 by the provider overall. But you can choose 2 different game modes, which switches the volatility from high to very high depending on what you choose. More on that further down.

The hit rate is between 1 in 6.5 and 1 in 6.91 depending on the game mode you choose. This is quite high compared to a lot of other games on the market, to be honest, and a little disappointing to see.

The maximum win is 15,000 x your total stake. This is best achieved in the Free Spins feature due to the expanding wild multipliers. The probability of landing the top prize is 1 in 1,333,113 in Olympus Mode and 1 in 1,766,784 in Hades Mode.

Theme – a battle between brothers

The theme in the Zeus vs Hades Gods of War slot game is clear from the title. It’s all about Greek Mythology figures Zeus and Hades, who are brothers. Hades is the king of the underworld, whereas Zeus is the king of the gods, ruler of Mount Olympus and god of the sky, thunder, law, order and justice.

There are 2 game modes when you load the slot. You can choose to play Hades or Olympus. The visuals are different for each, with the underworld in the background if you choose Hades along with flaming symbols. If you choose Olympus, the reels are set in the clouds, with a blue beaming light, a temple and lightning dominating the background as you spin away. The visuals are nicely done and I like the sound effects that have been added too.

In terms of the soundtrack, it’s slightly different for each mode. Olympus is more melodic and calming as you spin, whereas the Hades mode is more intense and dramatic. Both work very well with the chosen theme, though. Pragmatic Play has done very well here to cater to those who prefer 1 mode over another.

On the reels, the A-10 Royals make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by numerous other symbols depending on the mode you’re playing. Let’s take the Olympus mode, to begin with. You’ve got a goblet, a helmet, an eagle, Pegasus and Zeus. The Zeus symbol pays the most, awarding 2, 10 or 20 x your total stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The game’s Wild appears on all reels and pays 20 x your total stake for 5 in combination. The expanding wilds pay the same too, but they also come with multipliers. More on that in a moment, but here’s a list of the symbols you’ll come across in this game mode and their payout information.

Symbol	Payouts/Info
10	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.5 or 1 x stake
J	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.5 or 1 x stake
Q	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.5 or 1 x stake
K	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.5 or 1 x stake
A	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.5 or 1 x stake
Goblet	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
Helmet	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
Eagle	3, 4 or 5 = 1, 5 or 10 x stake

Zeus Expanding Wild	Expands the whole reel + has multiplier up to 100x

It’s the same for the Hades game mode in terms of the lower-paying symbols. They all pay the same. The higher-paying ones include a flaming goblet, a flaming helmet, a phoenix, Cerberus and Hades. The Hades symbol is the most rewarding and pays exactly the same amount as the Zeus symbol. Here’s a breakdown of the higher-paying symbols you’ll find in this game mode:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Flaming Goblet	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
Flaming Helmet	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
Phoenix	3, 4 or 5 = 1, 5 or 10 x stake
Cerberus	3, 4 or 5 = 1, 5 or 10 x stake
Hades	3, 4 or 5 = 2, 10 or 20 x stake
Hades Expanding Wild	Expands the whole reel + has multiplier up to 100x

Zeus vs Hades Gods of War Mobile

You can join the Greek Gods on all devices. Pragmatic Play has created the Zeus vs Hades Gods of War slot using the latest HTML5 technology meaning it’s available on mobile, tablet, PC and laptop devices. It’s very playable if you’re using a smaller screen. Overall, the sounds and visuals are excellent, whichever device you opt for.

Zeus vs Hades Gods of War Bonus Features

There are 3 bonus features to enjoy here, with the Free Spins feature being the main one. You can also buy this bonus feature if you’re outside the UK and there are Expanding Wilds that can appear and potentially boost your winnings. Everything works in the same way regardless of the game mode you choose. The only difference is the volatility, which is high for Olympus and very high for Hades.

Expanding Wilds with Multipliers

There is 1 Expanding Wild symbol in each game mode – the Olympus or the Hades logo. They appear on all reels and whenever any of them land in the base game or the Free Spins feature, they expand the whole reel vertically. They also receive a random multiplier with 1 of the following values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 100x.

The multiplier applies to all winning combinations that it is part of. If you manage to enjoy more than 1 Wild as part of a winning combination, the multipliers are added to each other.

Free Spins feature

Depending on which game mode you choose, you will have a different coloured temple as the Scatter in the base game of the Zeus vs Hades Gods of War slot. Land 3 of these to receive 10 free spins.

During this bonus round, any Expanding Wild that lands will expand, receive a random multiplier from the possible values listed above and will remain on the reel until the end of the bonus feature. It’s as simple as that. You’ll spin away until you run out of free spins. No retriggers are possible. Again, the Olympus mode is high variance, with the Hades mode being a little bit more volatile in comparison.

Non-UK players can also buy the Free Spins feature for 150 x (Olympus) or 300 x (Hades). There is also a 600 x option in both game modes which will guarantee you 1 expanding wild from the start.

Zeus vs Hades Gods of War Review Summary – which mode will you choose?

I like how the Zeus vs Hades Gods of War slot is a little different from others with its 2 game modes. The 15,000 x max win potential helps elevate this game too, which is nice to see. Couple that with an RTP rate that’s above average and you have an above-average slot.

The Free Spins feature isn’t anything that hasn’t been seen before. So too the Expanding Wilds with the multipliers. But I like the way the slot’s been put together overall. The visuals have been nicely done, and the soundtrack in both modes isn’t too bad either. Pragmatic has put together a solid game here, and those who enjoy the Greek Mythology theme will no doubt enjoy this one.
