Description
He is, of course, lord of the Ancient Greek gods, and in charge of thunder and the sky, so Zeus always makes a great theme for a slot game. Powered by WMS Gaming’s software platform, Zeus III shouldn’t disappoint.
This exciting slot has six reels rather than the more typical five, like another popular WMS offering Raging Rhino, and offers 192 ways of winning. It features a unique reel structure with a Reel Boost game engine, used here for the first time. It means each column has a different number of symbols, as described below.
You’ll love the high-quality graphics and sound effects of this fun game, the latter involving dramatic music. Zeus III also incorporates free spins plus nudging Wilds. Brace yourself for some unearthly wins!

The Acropolis is the standard Wild in Zeus III, but the Zeus symbol also serves as a Wild in the base game when it covers up a whole reel.
Meanwhile, the Scatter shows a lightning bolt in the hand of Zeus.

Free spins
The godliest wins are on offer in this round! Land three of the game’s lightning bolt Scatter symbols anywhere on Reels 2 through 6 to trigger this exciting free spins feature. Players are awarded free spins as follows:

Land at least three Scatters on Reels 1 through 5 while playing this round to grab five more additional free spins.
Return to Player (RTP)
RTP is reasonable enough in Zeus III at 96.10%, and the game has one of the lowest volatilities available from WMS. The relatively generous RTP may make up for the lack of a progressive jackpot.
Verdict
Zeus III is not, of course, the only game of its kind on this theme. But its take on it offers an intriguing reel structure, so it’s definitely worth a second look. Bear in mind that, because everything is set in stone here, there’s not much a player can do to maximise their chances of winning.
Finally, while the wins may appear a little tougher to come by during the base game due to the smaller number of rows on the left-hand reels, they are more worthwhile when they do happen.
