Ancient Fortunes: Zeus

If you've played enough slots online, you'll know that various themes tend to get used more than others. One of those is ancient gods, usually of the Greek, Egyptian or Roman kind, and in Ancient Fortunes: Zeus Triple Edge Studios has gone with Greek gods. Central to the thrills and possibilities is the free spins feature, while you also get rolling reels that see the ten paylines pay both ways. It's time to feel Zeus's might with our latest online slots review.

It's all quite dramatic in Ancient Fortunes: Zeus, with gods appearing at certain times, eyes light up with lightning and looking very serious. As far as the look goes, it isn't too exciting, and the design is simple, with very little in the background. Ancient Fortunes: Zeus is one of Triple Edge Studios' online slot games that uses rolling reels, which is almost identical to cascading reels you get in Megaways slot titles. This means winning symbols get removed after a win, and the reels roll again to potentially give you a consecutive win.

Another aspect of Ancient Fortunes: Zeus that we like is that the ten paylines pay left to right and right to left (Bothway), which is a significant added value. The most you have the chance of winning is up to 1,399x your stake, which isn't as great as what you might previously experienced, but there is medium volatility, so wins could be easier to come by.

Ancient Fortunes: Zeus doesn't use playing card royals as the lower value symbols like most online slots, but rather uses themed icons in snakes, a wild cat, a Kraken and a vulture. The symbols that the studio has selected to act as higher-paying icons are a selection of Greek gods, with Ares acting as the regular symbol with the highest value.

The wild symbol is Zeus himself and will be able to substitute the regular symbols in order to possibly help form winning combinations. Zeus's lightning bolt acts as the scatter symbol.

As mentioned there are rolling reels, and with consecutive wins come multipliers, both in regular play and bonus play. In regular play you’ll get 2x multiplier for your first consecutive spin, 3x for your second and 7x for 3rd onwards.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same spin will reward you with 10, 15 or 20 free spins. During the free spins feature, you'll notice that the multipliers applied to wins as part of consecutive win reactions are awarded bigger multipliers than in normal play, with three or more consecutive wins awarded a 21x multiplier. You can also trigger more free spins by landing three or more scatters during the feature.

This isn't the flashiest of online casino games, even though there is a lot of flash with the lighting effects coming off Zeus. However, with Ancient Fortunes: Zeus, you have rolling reels and Bothway pays in regular play, which makes it a slot that can bring loads of thrills and unexpected wins. Add in those free spins, and more often than not, you've got something epic.
