Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War

Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War was published in 2023 by Pragmatic Play, and it has since only grown in popularity. With expanding wilds, random multipliers and free spins, there’s a lot here for any slots fan to discover, but what really sets this game apart are the two different modes with separate volatility.

Zeus vs Hades is another testament to Pragmatic Play’s ability to publish successful and fun to play slots again and again. In this 5-reel, 5-row slot game, the two brothers of Greek mythology battle against each other, but there can only be one winner: you!

Each mode has different visuals and volatility, but the great gameplay remains the same throughout.

Olympus mode

In Olympus mode you get lightning imagery, with a cool blue color palette and greek pillars in the background. The reels are also blue, and the special symbols are, of course, Zeus, Pegasus and more. Take a look at the Symbols section for a full breakdown of the symbols. The volatility in Olympus mode is lower than in Hades mode, with slightly higher chances to hit the free spins, but with an average of fewer free spins awarded.

Hades mode

The realm of Hades is, predictably, depicted as a fiery hell of red. The background is razed by hellfire and the reels turn a dark purple, while Pegasus and Zeus are nowhere to be seen - instead we have Hades in all his glory and Cerberus, the three-headed dog. Hades is more volatile than Olympus, with slightly lower chances of getting free spins, but with potential for more free spins.

Regular wild symbols appear on all reels, matching the value of the highest-paying symbol and substituting for all symbols, barring the Scatter symbol. More info on the Scatter symbol in the Free Spins section.

Expanding Wild symbol

The Expanding Wild symbol can appear on all reels. In Olympus mode it’s a blue lightning bolt whereas in the Hades mode it’s a red bullhead. When it lands, should there be any wins, it will expand to fill the reel vertically and give the winning combo a random multiplier (2x-10x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 100x).

Scatter symbol

The Scatter symbol is a Parthenon-like, ancient Greek building of heavenly blue in the Olympus mode, whereas in the Hades mode it is red and fire-wreathed. It appears only in the base game and only on reels 1, 3 and 5.

In order to activate the Free Spins round you have to hit 3 Scatter symbols. Once that is done, you get 10 Free Spins, and any Expanding Wilds become sticky until the end of the free spins.

Bonus Buy

You can buy into the bonus round using the “Buy Free Spins” button on the top left of the screen. Zeus vs Hades has two bonus buy options per mode, so that technically gives us a total of 4 different bonuses that you can buy into.

You can buy into a regular Free Spins round for 75x your bet amount in Olympus mode, or 150x your bet amount in Hades mode. You can also opt for a Super Free Spins round for 300x your bet in either mode, where you are guaranteed one Expanding Wild symbol with a random multiplier on the first of the 10 Free Spins.
