Rage of Zeus - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

In a market that is saturated with mythology slots, does Rage of Zeus stand out? The graphics are pleasant enough, but it’s the gameplay that steals the show with some big multiplier prizes on offer in this 15-payline, pays-both-ways slot.

Rage of Zeus is packed with features including a novel jigsaw feature that triggers free spins and substituting wilds that replace every symbol.

The big-paying features are triggered by the wheel of fortune and the question mark. The wheel lands you a bonus with a top win of 50x, while the question mark triggers the pick-a-card bonus with a 100x top win. Both are incredibly tricky to land.

This slot is optimised for mobile and tablet, so on-the-go players can enjoy their spins anywhere. If you fancy a few practice games before playing for real money, you can play Mancala Gaming free play slots here at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Ancient Greek and mythology slots have been done to death, but there are a few nice features in Rage of Zeus that set it apart from the competition.

Let's start with the symbols, which show a little more insight into the tales of Zeus than we normally see. Aside from the royals disguised as Greek urns, there are scales, a helmet, grapes and a staff with snakes. These are all symbolic in the legend of the Greek god:

Zeus uses the golden scales to weigh the souls Achilles and Hector, sending Achilles to Hades.

Dionysus, son of Zeus, was the Greek god of wine - and there’s a variety of grape called the Zeus grape.

The Zeus helmet is a style of Corinthian helmet with a long crest.

The caduceus rod with snakes and wings was the weapon of Hermes, son of Zeus. Zeus also gave Hermes his winged sandals, which are the wild in this game.

The background and the soundtrack instantly transport us to Greece, where Zeus presides over the reels with thunderbolts in his hand.

Bonus Features

Where Rage of Zeus really shines is in the range of base game and bonus features. Look out for the flying sandal wild that replaces every other symbol in the game.

Land the wheel of fortune, and you could multiply your winnings by 2x, 3x or 4x your stake. If the arrow points to an arrow, you’ll move to the next level with bigger prizes. Make it to the centre and you’ll be rewarded with 50x your winnings.

The question mark triggers the pick-a-card bonus. The aim is to find four matching cards in the 16-card grid to increase your prize by 1x, 4x, 20x and 100x. You can collect your winnings at any, time but guess wrong and you’ll lose the lot.

The final symbol to look out for is the jigsaw puzzle piece. Every time a piece lands, it’s collected. Land all 10 puzzle pieces to unlock free spins.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

The big daddy of mythology slots is the Zeus slot from WMS. So how does Rage of Zeus measure up?

We enjoyed a few spins of this Greek-god-themed game thanks to the different bonus features and free spins trigger. The style and design of the game are clever, even though the theme is tired, and we liked the various bonus features that have some decent wins attached.

You’ll need plenty of luck, patience and very deep pockets to get the best out of this slot, but it’s well worth a spin.
