Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War 250 review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

You've probably encountered more than one slot game about Hades, and of course plenty of titles starring Zeus, but Pragmatic Play brings these two legends together in the Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War 250 slot.

The game has two settings for you to choose between: Olympus (a stormy temple scene complete with dramatic lightning), and Hades, the fiery underworld teeming with molten lava. The look and feel of both are excellent, featuring vibrant animations and an immersive soundtrack, which uses thumping drum beats and vibrant chimes to create tension.

Gameplay

We'll get into the differences between Olympus and Hades in a bit, but suffice it to say that gameplay is more simple than you might expect. Symbols pay on adjacent reels from left to right on 15 fixed paylines, and you'll need at least three of any symbol to win.

Depending on the mode, the symbols look different. For example, in Olympus, the highest-paying symbol is Zeus, while in Hades it's (obviously) the Hades character, and Zeus's Pegasus is substituted for a ferocious three-headed dog.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The special Expanding Wild symbols can appear anywhere on the grid, and they immediately expand to cover the whole reel if expanding will result in a winning combination. When Wilds expand, they also get a Multiplier of up to 250x. The Multiplier is applied to all winning combinations that it's part of.

The red or blue temple symbols are the Scatters, and they only appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 in the base game. If you land three Scatters, you'll get 10 Free Spins. During the bonus game, Wilds that expand will remain on the reels until the end of the bonus. When playing in Olympus mode, the chance to get into the Free Spins round is higher than when playing in Hades, but the average win of the Free Spins round is lower.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

Aside from the design, a key difference between the Olympus and Hades modes is that Hades has very high volatility, and Olympus has high volatility. Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War 250 has an RTP of 96.56%, no matter whether you're playing in Hades or Olympus. Both the high volatility (meaning that wins tend to be bigger, if more spread out) and the above average RTP mean that this game gets our stamp of approval.

You can play Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War 250 for between $/€/£0.10 per spin (lower than what we're used to seeing on Pragmatic Play slots), and the max stake is $/€/£240. You'll stand a chance to win up to 25,000x your bet amount.

Conclusion

We haven't seen many other games with two unique modes, so Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War 250 is definitely different. We were happy to see that the volatility of the game ranges from high to extra high, and the above-average RTP is good news too. As Expanding Wilds are sticky during Free Spins, there's good potential for nice-sized wins, especially as the max payout stands at an impressive 25,000x.
