Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus Slot
Another trip to the summit of Mount Olympus can mean one thing, and one thing only: it’s time to visit Zeus, the sky and thunder god in Greek mythology, in search of electrifying wins. Cross your fingers that he is in a good mood during your stay, because that could result in you experiencing his benevolent side first-hand. This means he could showcase his mighty powers by unleashing bolts of lightning across the reels, helping propel your balance to dizzying new heights.
Developed by Novomatic, Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus is another addition to the Austria-based gaming giant’s epic Almighty Reels series, which focuses solely on Greek mythology. Striking artwork, suspenseful sounds, absorbing animations and exciting bonus features are all hallmarks of the Almighty Reels series, and it’s more of the same when it comes to Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus. This time around, you’ll be praying for Zeus to unleash lots of 3x3 giant symbols on the reels, that he will bestow free games upon you, and that you can get the upper hand when gambling against him.
If this is the first time you’ve come across an Almighty Reels game, we thoroughly recommend checking out the other casino slot machines in the series before – or after – paying Zeus a visit. You can meet the daughter of Zeus in Almighty Reels: Garden of Persephone, while Almighty Reels: Realm of Poseidon introduces you to the Greek god of the sea. We’re sure it’s only a matter of time before the stories of more Greek gods and goddesses unfold across our screens, courtesy of Novomatic.
Bow Down to the Almighty Greek God
It has been well-documented that Zeus lived in the largest and most splendid temple on Mount Olympus, the cloud palace he and his fellow Olympians called home. The Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus video slot consists of five reels and 25 fixed paylines, with the 3x5 game matrix set on the golden steps of his magnificent temple.
Thanks to line bet options that range between 0.01 and 4, you’ll have the chance to meet the powerful Greek god from a low limit of just 0.25 credits. Meanwhile, those of you with greater confidence in Zeus showing his generous side can press the max bet button to risk 100 credits per spin. Just make sure you understand the fundamentals of bankroll management before playing for such sky-high stakes – you never know when you might incur the almighty god’s wrath!
Explore His Temple on Mount Olympus
Once you’ve climbed the golden steps to his imposing temple, Zeus will demand that the heavy gold doors be opened to allow you inside. Your jaw may hit the floor as you marvel at the grandiose surroundings of his gold-laden temple, but will you be as impressed by the payouts on offer? There is only one way to find out – it’s time to check out the pay table of Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus.
As we see so often when it comes to online slot machines that have been developed by Novomatic, five low-paying alphanumeric playing card symbols feature on the pay table. You’ll win up to 40x the line bet each time you match sets of 10, J or Q symbols from the leftmost reel, whereas rewards worth up to 50x the line bet are on offer every time you match K or A symbols across a payline.
The premium symbols on Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus will be familiar to those of you who have tried the other games in the series. Zeus will reward you with up to 60x the line bet every time you find sets of cornucopias or harps. Gold vases are worth even more at up to 70x the line bet. Coming across a few helmets that belong to Greek soldiers will see you secure up to 80x the line bet.
Meanwhile, Zeus – the main man himself – can burst onto the reels to present you with up to 100x the line bet. And you can’t miss the game’s wild symbol. It’s represented by the façade of Zeus’ temple, and it can substitute for all symbols except scatters.
Will Zeus Look Down Favorably on You?
It’s easy to tell whether you’ve managed to get into Zeus’s good books while playing this ancient Greece-themed slot. If he takes a shine to you, he will chuck a 3x3 gold coin onto the reels, ensuring that it is in full view across the three central reels. This gold coin represents the powerful scatter symbol in Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus – a symbol that is required if you wish to play between 8 and 12 free games for free.
If you’re lucky enough to initiate the free games feature, you’ll get to choose one of the five theme-related premium symbols to appear stacked on all reels, and to appear as a 3x3 giant symbol. Your choice has a direct impact on the number of free games that you receive, with the fewer free games you take equaling greater potential for epic wins. Before you make your choice, it’s important to remember that it’s not possible to win additional free games during the feature.
Opting for the cornucopia – also known as the horn of plenty – sees you receive the maximum of 12 free games. The harp is a string instrument known for its use in Greek classical antiquity. Choosing it sees you receive 11 free games. You’ll get 10 free games if you choose the golden vase. Selecting the helmet of a Greek soldier results in you receiving 9 free games. Meanwhile, the risk-takers among you will choose Zeus for 8 free games that could result in godlike wins.
Gamble Against the God of Thunder
Countless myths exist that depict the grisly end met by those who dared challenge the most feared god in ancient Greece, but you may be persuaded to take him on while playing the free Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus slot machine. After every winning combination, you can choose whether to collect your winnings, or whether to risk everything you’ve won by gambling against the god of thunder.
To face-off against Zeus in an attempt to prove how brave and fearless you are, you can activate a gamble feature to risk your winnings on the flip of a playing card. Each of these playing cards has been designed with a symbolic lightning bolt printed on its top side, to further reinforce that you’re gambling against Zeus. To secure a victory against him, you’ll need to correctly predict whether the next card in the deck will be red (diamond or heart) or black (spade or club) in color.
A correct guess will result in Zeus doubling the amount of real cash you’ve won. However, his big strong hands will take away all the winnings you’ve amassed during the current spin whenever you make the wrong choice, so be careful not to get too greedy.
Just as Electrifying as We Anticipated
From the moment Novomatic announced that Almighty Reels: Power of Zeus was in the pipeline, we found ourselves counting down the days until it went live at online casinos. Such great anticipation often leaves us feeling underwhelmed when we finally get around to playing much-hyped slots, but it’s safe to say that we’ve been blown away by the power of Zeus in this amazing addition to the Almighty Reels series.
The only thing we would have preferred is if the volatility level had been cranked up a few notches. Like the rest of the games in the Almighty Reels series to date, this is another low-to-medium-volatility release. That shouldn’t be enough to put you off paying the most respected Greek god a visit though, especially considering the number of epic bonus features that have been included.
