wild link zeus slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

We’ve written about the legend of Zeus before here at demoslot, but we’ll give you a quick refresher just in case you missed our earlier game reviews. Zeus is referred to as the god of the sky in ancient Greek mythology; as the chief Greek god, he was the ruler, protector, and father of all the other humans – and gods. Zeus is regularly depicted as a wise old male with a beard and is frequently represented by symbols such as a lightning bolt or eagle. Perhaps the best-known online slots to feature Zeus are the eponymous franchise by Williams (WMS), which started on the floors of land-based casinos before being migrated to the online market, where further symbols were spawned.

Such was the popularity of those games; they were later backported to physical cabinets for the land-based casino market, although I have to say I have not seen them featured anywhere for some time now. WMS has been quiet in general in recent times. However – they don’t seem to create new games with the same frequency as many other top-tier developers. SpinPlay’s take on the Zeus myth borrows several visual cues from the earlier Williams titles whilst retaining a decent amount of unique identity. I think that this solid attempt to balance the new with the old should work out well for the developer, as those who enjoyed the earlier games are likely to try this one out as well.

The payouts first appear on page five of the paytable, starting with a 10x bet return for each complete pay line of five wild symbols. This is shown with both a full stack of wilds as well as a solo single-position symbol, indicating that both are interchangeable for the purposes of winning lines. A winged horse – presumably Pegasus – is the highest-paying regular symbol at 5x your bet for five-of-a-kind, which does feel a little bit on the low side. An eagle is next, paying 4x for all five, followed by a harp and a jug, both at 3x, after which there are just six more royal symbols ranging from nine to Ace. Considering that there are only 20 pay lines in Wild Link Zeus's base game, I wondered how SpinPlay have divided up the RTP at this point. However, there are so many features in this game that it may simply be that the base game wasn’t left with anything like the percentage it receives in most other online slots.

The betting range begins at €0.20 or a penny a line, after which you have several small increments until reaching the €2.00 mark before the jumps start to widen considerably. At the other end of the spectrum, the maximum bet for each round is €50.00.

base game & MODIFIERS

When you first begin to play the base game of Wild Link Zeus online slot, you will be presented with a standard 5x3 playfield with 20 fixed paylines. Wins are awarded in the usual way – three or matching symbols on a pay line from left to right – but all of this soon goes out the window as soon as a wild appears on the first reel:

---

expanding reels

And finally! With all that base game action, you could potentially understand if SpinPlay had omitted a free spin feature in their Wild Link Zeus video slot, but no, these guys are on the ball! You’ll need three bonus symbols to win ten free spins, which benefit from even more unique elements.

During this mode, a random reel will be transformed into a wild prize reel on each spin. You’ll be glad to know that reel one cannot become the wild prize reel, as that would prevent you from landing a wild to trigger the expanding reels. The wild prize reel will only ever contain stacks of wildfire orbs and can help to score a few payline wins.

I wish a bonus buy feature had been included so that I could have tested this feature out a few more times, as my results were inconsistent and inconclusive during testing.
