Labrys of Zeus (3x3) Slot Review

The likes of the Giga Jar slot are built on a dazzling if sometimes confusing complexity. The Labrys of Zeus (3x3) slot goes the other way, stripping back the reels and paylines to the most simple possible format: 3x3 with just one way to win. That makes it even easier to appreciate the vivid, unusual way it depicts one of our favourite themes: Greek mythology. Check out our Labrys of Zeus (3x3) slot review.

The Double-Headed Axe

What’s a labrys?. Well, the answer is a type of double-headed axe. The name is from Lydia (now part of Western Turkey), but it’s particularly associated with the Minoan religion practised in Crete during the Bronze Age. Zeus, on the other hand, you’ve probably heard of before. He’s appeared in plenty of slots as the bearded lightning-bolt-wielding king of the Greek gods.

Zeus is from a little later than the Minoans, whose main deity was a goddess, but the labrys has shown up in other parts of the ancient world and may be the inspiration for the naming of the “labyrinth” in the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur.

Gods and Monsters

Greek mythology isn’t an uncommon theme in slots, and the columns and temples that frame these reels are familiar. The Labrys of Zeus (3x3) slot, however, does approach things from a different angle, from the floating trees in the background, tossed by a constant breeze, to the not entirely natural-looking owls and horses among the symbols, all of which are themed (no generic cards or gems). This is a strange and supernatural world - something emphasised by its soundtrack.

Labrys of Zeus (3x3) RTP and Variance

Not for the first time, we have to complain that an InBet Games free slot comes without official returns information. That means no return to player figure telling you the average long-term results (not, we have to emphasise, average results in a single session), and no variance to guide you regarding frequency of wins. You can play in demo mode to explore the returns for yourself at no risk, but it makes it a lot harder to compare to other slots with a similar theme or features.

How to Play Labrys of Zeus (3x3)

Let’s ascend to the world of the Greek gods:

1. If you want to view the paytable, no need to go fishing through all the buttons. It’s right there on the main screen, showing values for every combination of three winning symbols.
2. You can see the paytable again if you click help, and this time it comes with info on bonus features as well as payouts.
3. Size of payouts is also influenced by your bet, which you can adjust with the arrows on the main screen or by hitting the “max” button. Keep your budget in mind when you do so.
4. That budget should have been set before you entered the casino. If you’re sticking to demo play, which many casinos allow (here at Slots Temple, all slots are free), budgeting allows you to develop good habits.
5.  Sound, music and full screen can all be switched on and off in the top corner.
6. You’re ready to play, but you still need to choose between auto and start. Would you prefer continuous spins or taking it one turn at a time? You’ll need to keep an eye on your limits either way.
7. Play responsibly and have fun.

How to Win at Labrys of Zeus (3x3)

Normally we say winning at slots involves matching symbols across a payline. Then there’s the Labrys of Zeus (3x3) slot, where you need to match winning symbols across “the” payline, because there’s only one of them. Combined with the fact that this is an old-fashioned three-reel game rather than a more modern five-reel version, this is one of those slots that is very simple to explain but not very easy to win at.

Top Wins

There is one scatter symbol, used to trigger the bonus wheel, but the other nine icons are all straightforward paying symbols. If you want a base game max win, then you’ll need to secure Zeus himself with his x500 win multiplier.

Bet Range

You’ll find a minimum bet of 1 and maximum bet of 1000 in the Labrys of Zeus (3x3) slot.

Labrys of Zeus (3x3) Bonuses

Surely the Labrys of Zeus (3x3) bonus features must be minimal at best considering the simplicity of its base game. You might think that, and it’s true there’s no free spins bonus, but find the scatter symbol three times and you can take an exciting turn on the bonus wheel.

Bonus Wheel

If you want to increase your total win, then you need to find the biggest possible win multiplier. When you spin the bonus wheel, the possible prizes on offer range from 10 to 500. That could do a lot for your overall balance if you happen to be having a lucky day.

Max-win 500x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 96.00%

Labrys of Zeus (3x3) Review - Our Verdict

Pretty much every major developer has a video slot or two that tackles the iconic and ever-popular world of Ancient Greece. That makes it extra impressive that the Labrys of Zeus (3x3) slot still manages to feel fresh and new, especially with the otherwise pretty basic three-reel, one-payline format. No, this isn’t the most complex slot we’ve ever played, but it does have that bonus wheel adding depth.
