Microgaming Unleash Ancient Fortunes: Zeus Slot

Microgaming, in partnership with Triple Edge Studios, have called upon the old gods to gain you safe passage to wealth and good fortune in their Ancient Fortunes: Zeus online and mobile slot.  

“We are delighted to part the clouds to reveal Ancient Fortunes: Zeus, set in the rich and enchanting world of Greek myth. The king of gods and gold takes centre stage in this premiere outing, featuring intricate hand-drawn artwork and an epic soundtrack that really brings the immersive realm of the gods to life.” - Brendan Walton, Triple Edge Studios 

As you boldly venture forth in this epic slots adventure you will face reels filled with mythological beasts and archaic gods, finding the right combination will grant you limited access to the sacred halls of Olympus. Use your time wisely and your good luck will see you surpass the fortunes of Midas himself. 

 Gorgeous Mythological Art and Design 

Zeus is the mythological king of all the ancient gods, even those godlings he hadn’t sired revered him as “Father”. It is thanks to this All-Father and the machinations of Microgaming that you have been invited to test your will and luck against the fates in Ancient Fortunes: Zeus! 

The slot starts you at an imposing wall that separates the mortal world from the inner sanctum of Zeus, Mount Olympus. The reels of this 5x3 cascading slot machine are built into this very wall, as the symbols collapse you are given a fleeting glimpse of Olympus in the distance. It is only possible to transcend this mortal realm by activating the Free Spin feature which sees Zeus himself welcome you to play for bigger wins in Mount Olympus itself. This dusty stone wall and floor are converted into walls of gold and fields of coins and gems as far as the eye can see. 

The reels themselves are filled with beautifully crafted symbols of gods and mythological beasts. The gods include Poseidon, Dionysus, Hermes and Ares, while the carved beasts include the kraken, the sacred vulture, twin serpents and a panther. With Zeus acting as the Wild and his Thunderbolt as the Scatter. 

Atop the reels sits the mysterious Multiplier Trail, a series of win multipliers which increase in value as you progress along their trail, and even more so once you are blessed with access to the Free Spin feature. 

The entire experience is bolstered by a percussion-based soundtrack, the fall and grind of rocky symbols as the reels refresh and crashes of lightning and thunder as Zeus’s exerts his influence upon the game. 

 Godlike Game Play & Features

During base game Ancient Fortunes: Zeus offers 10 winning paylines, which by itself is not the most exciting feature, however it does come with the added benefit of paying both ways which supports its advertised RTP of 96.02%! The game is also a cascading slot which sees winning paylines explode and new tiles fall into place to create ongoing win potential from a single spin. Added to that there are some great free game and win multiplier boosts in store for players on any lucky spin. 

"Ancient Fortunes: Zeus is a striking Greek mythology themed slot, expertly crafted by the team at Triple Edge Studios. Rich in rewarding features and stunning visuals, players ascending to Mount Olympus are in for a truly legendary gaming experience.” - David Reynolds, Microgaming 

✓Multiplier Trail Feature 

During the base game stringing together winning paylines during a single spin triggers the win-based Multiplier Trail. Sitting above the reels are 4 multiplier feature values: x1, x2, x3, x7! Each additional winning combination on a spin will move you one step further along the Multiplier Trail, till you obtain 7x your win! 

✓Free Spins & Boosted Win Multipliers 

Ancient Fortunes: Zeus is a slot machine that relies heavily on its free games to create the big wins players are looking for. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Lightning Bolt symbols on the reels will immediately grant you 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. In addition to your free games the feature also boosts the Multiplier trail by upping them to x3, x7, x11 and x21 your win total! 

The big win potential doesn’t end there, as an added kicker, 3x Scatters plus a Wild Zeus symbol will guarantee you 50 Free Spins – which also come with the increased Win Multipliers! 

As final gift from the hand of Zeus himself the developers have included the ability to retrigger all Free Spins options during free games. This a swathe of free spins ranging from 10 up to 70 on any spin! 

 Conclusion 

Microgaming have created a gorgeously designed medium volatility slot machine in Ancient Fortunes: Zeus. In addition to its good looks the combination of a 625x base game max win, and the potential for a 21x Multiplier Trail during Free Spins gives this slot machine some heavy duty Mega Win potential. Not surprisingly it switches seamlessly between portrait and landscape making it ideal for mobile slots fans.
