Zeus Lightning Megaway Slot Overview

Zeus Lightning Megaway is a casino slot from Red Tiger featuring the chief deity in ancient Greek mythology. Zeus is known as the god of the sky, lightning, and thunder and rules as the king of the gods on Mount Olympus. Zeus is often depicted as a powerful, bearded man wielding a thunderbolt, his primary symbol. He is the son of Cronus and Rhea and the youngest of his siblings. Zeus is married to Hera, though he is infamous for his numerous affairs, resulting in many divine and heroic offspring, including Athena, Apollo, and Hercules.

In this game, good old Zeus can show up as a Wild Symbol on the Megaways reels. He can appear in different sizes and trigger Expanding Lightning. There's also a Free Spins feature where Zeus becomes even wilder, with the potential to turn up on two reels. It's time to go to the Greek heavens.

Zeus Lightning Megaway Slot Information

Zeus Lightning Megaway transports players to a heavenly realm with majestic buildings perched on soaring clouds. The reels, positioned centrally, are framed by striking golden lightning bolts, adding a touch of divine power. As you spin, white lightning bolts occasionally flash across the screen, enhancing the electrifying atmosphere. Flanking the reels are two enormous marble pillars, standing tall and grand, further emphasizing the game's celestial theme.

To make a win, the player needs to land 3 or more symbols of the same type on adjacent reels. The number of possible ways to win changes with each spin, depending on the total number of symbols that land on the reels. Up to 7 symbols can appear on each of the 6 reels, creating a potential maximum of 117,649 ways to win. The game is available on mobile phones, notepads, and desktop computers.

In Zeus Lightning Megaway, the lower-paying symbols include 10, J, Q, K, and A, which pay between 0.2X and 0.25X the bet for a 6-of-a-kind win. On the other hand, the higher-paying symbols feature the heads of a snake, bird, tiger, bull, and Zeus, offering payouts ranging from 0.4X to 10X the bet for a win of 6 symbols. The Wild Symbol is also depicted by Zeus, and it substitutes all mentioned symbols but not the Scatter Symbol, which can trigger the Free Spins.

Chain Reaction

When symbols form a winning combination, they disappear, allowing new symbols to drop in. This can create additional wins as new symbols fill the empty spaces. The reaction continues until no more wins are made.

Zeus Wild

Zeus acts as a Wild Symbol that appears on reels 3 or 4 and substitutes for all paying symbols. In the regular game, only one Zeus Wild can appear per spin. The Zeus Wild doesn't disappear when it's part of a winning combination unless the win involves expanded symbols from Zeus Lightning. The size of the Zeus Wild changes based on the number of symbols on the reel it lands on:

Reels with 2 or 3 symbols have a 1x1 Zeus Wild. Reels with 4, 5, or 6 symbols have 1x2 Zeus Wild, and reels with 7 symbols have 1x3 Zeus Wild.

Expanding Lightning

If a Zeus Wild is fully visible on the reels, after all winning chain reactions, Zeus summons lightning strikes. These strikes hit one of the same random symbols on all reels where it appears, cloning that symbol vertically on all positions of those reels. If the chosen symbol is on the same reel as the Zeus Wild, it will clone the symbol on all positions except where the Zeus Wild is located. Expanded symbols can form winning combinations even if they are not adjacent.

Free Spins

Landing 3 or 4 Free Spins scatters on reels 2, 3, 4, or 5 will award 8 or 12 Free Spins respectively. Each Free Spins scatter that lands during the bonus round gives you 1 extra spin. At the start of Free Spins, an additional Zeus Wild is added to the reels, increasing the potential number of Zeus Wilds per spin to 2—one on reel 3 and another on reel 4.

When both Zeus Wilds appear fully visible, the first one will clone symbols as in the regular game, while the second one will upgrade the cloned symbols to a higher-paying symbol based on the type of the cloned symbol. If the cloned symbol is a higher-paying symbol, all symbols of that type will upgrade to the first non-royal symbol. If the cloned symbol is a higher-paying symbol, all symbols of that type will upgrade to the next higher-paying symbol.

After the upgrade, if there are other symbols of the upgraded type on the reels, they will also expand. However, the initial symbol expansion cannot clone the highest-paying symbol if both Zeus Wilds are activated at the same time.

The Free Spins end when you run out of spins or reach the max win of 20,000X the bet.

You can purchase a Zeus Wild for 15X the bet or the Free Spins for 100X the bet.

Zeus Lightning Megaway Slot Conclusion

Zeus Lightning Megaways is like hanging out with the king of the gods—complete with thunder, lightning, and some pretty epic hair. In this slot, Zeus isn't just sitting on his throne; he's throwing around wilds and free spins like he's in a divine game of dodgeball. The Megaways mechanic keeps things unpredictable, with up to 117,649 ways to win, which feels like the number of times Zeus has had to apologize to Hera. 

The Free Spins feature is where Zeus really shows off, doubling down on the wilds and upgrading symbols faster than you can say "Mount Olympus." The max win of 20,000X your bet is enough to make even the stingiest of gods crack a smile. And if you're not feeling patient, you can always buy your way into the action—because even in ancient Greece, money talks.

The max win is definitely great. However, the RTP of 95.69% isn't as impressive, a little bit below the industry average. Also, the features work great together, but nothing in Zeus Lightning Mewaways feels new or unique; we have experienced it all in other Megaways games. For more action with this divine character, don't miss 7x7 Zeus or Chronicles of Olympus II – Zeus.

Zeus Lightning Megaways from Red Tiger Gaming is perfect for players who are up for a bit of divine intervention and don't mind a few thunderbolts.
