The reels spin from right to left, adding a fresh twist to your gameplay. Match three to six symbols starting from the rightmost reel to win. Look out for Zeus, Pegasus, helmets, boats and vases, all bringing varying payouts. Wild symbols and Scatter symbols (Zeus holding a thunderbolt) are the keys to unlocking major rewards.

Zeus III doesn’t just look different, it plays differently too, with exciting bonus mechanics that can bring divine rewards.
How to trigger Zeus III bonus rounds and Free Spins
Land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols (Zeus with thunderbolts) anywhere on the reels and you'll trigger the Free Spins feature. Depending on the number of Scatters, you'll receive 10, 25, or even 50 Free Spins. During these spins, the gods may bless you with stacked Zeus symbols.
