Zeus III is a slot game produced by WMS and is a welcome blast from the past for me. This 2014 title was ahead of its time with its unconventional reel layout and impactful bonus features. The almighty Zeus stands alongside ancient Greek artifacts as symbols on the paytable, while the imposing Mount Olympus looms in the background. The top-end potential of this game weighs at approximately $153 000, so it isn’t a heavy hitter, but I still found it to be an enjoyable playthrough.

The most startling feature of Zeus III is obvious from when you start the game. The 2-3-4-5-6-7 layout resembles a pyramid tilted on its side. The spin, Autoplay, and bet level controls are all packed together in a convenient console beneath the reels.
Wild Reel
If you land a full reel of Zeus symbols, they will convert into an expanding wild that stands in for all other symbols besides the scatter.
Free Spins
Land at least 3 scatters on reels 2-6, and you will have triggered the free spins bonus round. You will receive 10, 25, or 50 free spins for 3, 4, or 5 scatters, respectively. The grid layout will be reversed to 7-6-5-4-3-2 and the Wild Reel feature activates when at least 1 Zeus symbol appears on the reels. You can retrigger this bonus round when you land at least 3 more scatters on reels 1-5.
Zeus III slot dared to be different when it was released and players all over the globe are still grateful that this game made the transition from land-based to online, almost a decade later. Despite its age, the game still packs a visual punch and a solid set of features ideal for new and casual players. With a top potential of barely over $150k, this title won’t win any favour from high rollers..
