Zeus III

WMS Gaming has finally released the Zeus III slots game online, heralding one of the most eagerly anticipated transitions of a game from land based casinos to the web. The Zeus III Pokie is a 6 reel, 192 payline slots machine featuring a free spin bonus round.

This is awarded if you are lucky enough to hit three scatter symbols over the course of play. As the title suggests, the theme is borrowed from the legendary Zeus, King of the Gods in ancient Greece. Be prepared therefore to encounter many items from a bygone era including coins, laurel wreaths and mythical horses of Grepolis.

How to Play Zeus III Pokie

The layout used by WMS Games for Zeus III is not really conventional though it should not take anyone with experience long to figure it out. The first reel has two symbols, the second one three symbols, the third one four symbols and so on such that the last reel (the sixth) has seven symbols. If you have played the game on land based casino or a previous online version, you will immediately recognize symbols from Greek mythology including: a Greek warship, teapot, a Greek coin, a Greek army helmet, a pantheon and (of course) the figure of Zeus himself holding a bolt of lightning.

The Zeus III pokie comes with two Wilds, with Zeus being the Expanding Wild and he will substitute for all the other symbols except the Scatters which help you complete winning combinations. You will need to be on the lookout for the Zeus Wild especially in the bonus spin rounds. The second Wild symbol comes in the form of the coliseum. Keep an eye for it too if you are intent on hitting some big wins on the reels.

Maximum Win

Zeus III does not have an innate maximum win amount set in the game machine. However, individual casinos offering the game may set their own limits. The only notable rule about the paytable is that the total line bet must be divided equally between each active payline and therefore all total bets amounts.

Special Features – Free Spins

The free spin feature on Zeus II pokie is especially innovative. Any time three or more features come up on consecutive reels, this triggers the free spins feature and the player awarded seven free spins.

Nudging Wilds

While playing free spins, Wild symbols can only appear on the adjacent second, third and fourth reels. Any wild symbol appearing in this array of reels will expand to fill the entire reel. All payouts will be calculated afterthe WILD expands.

What Makes Zeus III SpecialZeus is a great slots game and we highly recommend it. It was the first of the WMS Gaming portfolio to be built around the Reel Boost game engine. This allows the player to play the game on a range of platforms while experiencing virtually zero delay during play.

Other than the unique classical Greece theme, Zeus III has plenty of standout game options not available on other slots. For instance, you can earn 50 free spins and a mammoth 50x multiplier all for hitting three Zeus holding a lightning bolt symbols. Moreover, during free spins the reels will flip left to right and vice versa. This massively increases your chances of winning big.
