Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War Slot Overview
Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War is a Greek mythology-themed slot from Pragmatic Play that plays out on a 5x5 grid with 15 fixed paylines. Released in 2023, this slot offers players a unique dual-mode experience where they can choose between two different volatility levels and visual themes.
Game Modes and Volatility
The slot's standout feature is its dual-mode system. Players can choose between:
- Olympus Mode: High volatility with 96.07% RTP
- Hades Mode: Very high volatility with 96.05% RTP
You can switch between modes in the base game. Olympus mode gives you a higher bonus round hit rate of 1 in 203 spins, but the average win per free spin is lower. In Hades mode, the bonus round comes with 1 in 409 spins hit rate, but you will also win larger payouts per free spin on average.
Betting and Payouts
You can place bets between €0.10 and €100 per spin. The maximum win is capped at 15,000x your stake, which is significantly higher than many other Pragmatic Play slots.
Symbols and Features
The game features different symbol sets for each mode, all based on Greek mythology. The paytable includes low-value card symbols (10–A) and premium icons like Cerberus, Pegasus, and a golden goblet. Zeus icons pay 20x your stake for five-of-a-kind, while Hades icons award 25x. The Wild symbol offers payouts up to 200x for five-of-a-kind.
Expanding Wilds with Multipliers
Expanding Wild symbols may land on any reel in both the base game and bonus round. They expand to cover all positions on their reel, and a battle takes place between Zeus and Hades, with the winner adding a multiplier of x2 to x100 to the Expanding Wild. This multiplier applies to all wins passing through it, and if more than one Expanding Wild is part of a win, the multipliers are added to each other.
Free Spins Bonus
Scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game. Hitting 3 of them awards 10 free spins. During free spins, when an Expanding Wild hits, it remains stuck to its reel until the feature comes to an end.
Bonus Buy Options
For players in eligible jurisdictions, the game offers several bonus buy options:
- Olympus Mode: Standard free spins cost 75x bet, Enhanced free spins with one guaranteed sticky wild cost 300x bet
- Hades Mode: Standard free spins cost 150x bet, Enhanced free spins with one guaranteed sticky wild cost 300x bet
