Ancient Fortunes: Zeus

We all know about the pantheon, where the Greek gods live high up on Mount Olympus. But did you also know that the literal translation of this Greek word is (a temple) of all gods? Very fitting. So, this is basically where we’re at in this slot and it couldn’t have been realized more gorgeously.

In the background, you see the surroundings with beautiful old buildings donning the typical Greek pillars and the dark clouds spewing Zeus’ lightning. Generally, it is believed that there were 12 gods and goddesses residing on Mount Olympus who were called the Olympian Gods. They include Zeus and his wife Hera, Athena, Poseidon, Artemis, Apollo, Demeter, Hester, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus and Ares.

We wouldn’t want to forget Hades as regent of the underworld, but he wasn’t counted as an Olympian God since he resided in Hades. Apart from those guys, nine muses, the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (adultery was a thing in ancient times as well) lived at the foot of the mountain.

As initially mentioned, the slot is played on 5×3 reels. What is unusual is that the 10 paylines pay both ways and that the symbols are cascading down onto the playing field instead of spinning on the reels.

The symbols are divided into two sections, the low-paying and the high-paying one. The low-paying symbols are represented by some mythical creatures, like a panther, a snake a vulture and a giant squid. While the high-paying symbols comprise of four of the Olympian Gods, namely Hermes, Poseidon, Dionysus and Ares.

Obviously, you’ll also find some special symbols, triggering bonus features and if you’d like to know more about those, just check out the boxes below.

It is possible for you to let the symbols fall with as little as $0.10, but if you want the 70,000 coins maximum win to get you some major dollars, you’ll want to up the stakes to the maximum bet of $70.

The RTP is a little disappointing as the 96.02% are really only average. At least the volatility also falls into the medium range, making this a slot where you’ll see fairly regular wins of both the lower and higher kind. This setup makes this a suitable slot for all kinds of players, be they casual beginners or more experienced.

We will say that highrollers might recoil from the fairly low maximum bet and the medium volatility, but even they might spend some good times with Ancient Fortunes: Zeus.
