Zeus Thunder Reels Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

We know that Playson free play slots come with lots of excitement and winning potential, and the 5 reels of Zeus Thunder Reels are no exception. Traditional card symbols are accompanied by figures from Greek mythology, and the 20 paylines come with the opportunity to trigger exciting features including Wild Reels and free spins.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

When it comes to the mythology themed slot, Ancient Greece has always captured the imagination. It’s full of magical creatures and epic family drama between the powerful, petty gods that meddle in human affairs. This slot focuses on Zeus, king of the gods, famous for his propensity for throwing lightning bolts, but there are also appearances by Hera, queen of the gods, Hermes the divine messenger (and his winged sandals), Pegasus the flying horse, the eagle and an olive garland.

The title sounds quite dramatic, but Zeus Thunder Reels is actually quite a lofty slot, floating amid the heavenly clouds. It has bold, clean graphics and a sweeping, majestic soundtrack that is more than worthy of this magnificent mythology.

Zeus Thunder Reels RTP and Variance

One of the few disappointments in Zeus Thunder Reels is the 95.4% RTP, which is lower than average for a modern slot. It also has medium to high variance, so while it’s fairly balanced, there is a bit of extra risk to go with the potentially higher rewards. That might deter the more cautious among you, though, as always, we emphasise these are theoretical figures based on long-term averages, not guarantees for individual spins.

How to Play Zeus Thunder Reels

Don’t worry, the lightning bolt isn’t aimed at you:

1. Everything you need is under the reels in this slot, and pretty clearly labelled. The first button is info, and will take you straight to the paytable. From there you can scroll through guides to every symbol and feature in the game.
2. You’ll see your current balance next to the info button, a useful thing to know when you move further right to adjust your bet. Click the current bet display to reveal all possible bet levels, use the arrows to move it up or down one step at a time, or go straight to the Max Bet button.
3. Where you choose to set your wager depends on how much is available in your balance, how much risk you like to take and your overall budget, which you should decide before you start playing. Loss and single win limits are also a good idea to make sure the game stays fun and under control.
4. The sweeping soundtrack may suit the game, but if you prefer to play in silence, the mute button is right at the very bottommost corner of the screen, on the right. Next to it is a settings button where you’ll find the toggle for quick spin, if you want to speed things up.
5. Spins come in two modes, regular or autoplay. For regular, all you need to do is press the big spin button. The reels will turn once, then you can decide if you want to change any settings and check your balance before you spin again.
6. Autoplay is behind the button next to spin. It first it just offers you a number of automatic spins (from 5 to 999) without having to keep clicking. What’s sensible is to go to the advanced settings tab, where you can also incorporate your loss and single win limits so you don’t end up breaking your budget without noticing.
7. Now all that’s left is to have fun! 

Please play Zeus Thunder Reels responsibly by setting yourself an affordable and sensible budget for each play session. 

Bet & Win Sizes

When you open your bet options you’ll be offered a pretty good range of between 0.10 and 100.00. That should be enough for most players, though some may wish it went higher.

Some symbols pay from 2 matches, some need at least 3, but all need to be lined up consecutively from left to right. If you start at the minimum bet, the paytable looks like this (it will adjust in line with any bet increases):

10, J, Q, K, A - 0.03, 0.08, 0.25

Winged Sandals, Olive Wreath - 0.03, 0.10, 0.30

Hera, Hermes - 0.05, 0.15, 0.50

Zeus, Wild - 0.03, 0.10, 0.30, 1.20

Zeus Thunder Reels Bonus Features

Wild Reels

These are triggered by the lightning bolt bonus symbol. When the lightning hits a reel, it fills it, turning it wild from top to bottom. One lightning bolt will stay for one spin, but 2 or 3 lightning bolts will last for 2 or 3 spins, giving you even more chances to win.

Free Spins

The Parthenon, the ancient temple sat on the hill of the Athenian Acropolis, serves as a scatter. Find it 3 times and you’ll be awarded 15 free spins. During the round, you may continue to trigger Wild Reels every time the lightning bolt hits.

Zeus Thunder Reels Review

Zeus Thunder Reels manages to capture some of the drama of Greek mythology without becoming overwhelming. The slot is a pleasure to look at as well as play, with both Wild Reels and free spins offering some exciting opportunities. It may not have the scale of the Gods of Olympus slot, but it is distinct and special in its own right.
