With a Greek mythology theme, the Zeus vs Hades - Gods of War slot was released in May 2023. Quickly establishing itself as one of Pragmatic Play’s most popular games, an epic clash between brothers Zeus and Hades plays out. Zeus is the king of gods, god of the sky and thunder as well as ruler of Mount Olympus whilst Hades of the king of the underworld.

This is important as the game is played out in 2 modes. You can choose between Olympus and Hades modes which are different in terms of volatility and visuals. In Olympus Mode, you’ll see a temple in the backdrop with a blue beaming light behind the reels. With Hades Mode, you are taken to the underworld which is engulfed in red-hot flames.

The soundtrack in each mode also differs with Olympus Mode being calmer than Hades Mode. I must say, this game is visually superb in every way.

On the reels, you’ll see A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. The higher-value symbols include goblets, helmets, the Phoenix, Pegasus and Zeus or Hades (the latter depends on the mode you’re playing). Graphically, there are differences between the symbols per mode with Hades Mode offering flaming versions of the Olympus Mode symbols. Zeus or Hades are the best-paying symbols awarding 20 times your total bet for 5 across a payline.

Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War comes with a Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. 3, 4 or 5 wilds pay 2, 10 or 20 times bet and can appear on all 5 reels. Other symbols include Zeus or Hades Expanding Wilds and Zeus or Hades Scatters. Below is a list of all symbol payouts and functions:

• A/K/Q/J/10: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.5 or 1 x bet
• Helmet/Goblet: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x bet
• Pegasus/Phoenix: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 5 or 10 x bet
• Zeus/Hades: 3, 4 or 5 = 2, 10 or 20 x bet
• Wild: Substitutes for symbols above + pays up to 20 x bet
• Zeus/Hades Expanding Wild: Expand + contains multipliers up to 100x
• Zeus/Hades Scatter: 3 trigger Free Spins feature

Zeus vs Hades - Gods of War Mobile

Pragmatic Play produces all slots with HTML5 technology. Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War is no different and can be played on laptops, PCs, mobile and tablets. As you can see from the image above, Portrait Mode for iOS and Android smartphone users utilises more of your screen.

Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War comes with 3 bonus features. In both modes, there are Expanding Wilds in the base game which contain random multipliers up to 100x. In the Free Spins feature, wilds expand and remain sticky for the duration of the feature alongside multipliers up to 100x.

Expanding Wilds with Multipliers

In both Hades and Olympus Modes, there is an Expanding Wild symbol which can appear on all reels. Sporting the Olympus or Hades logo, the Expanding Wild will expand vertically to take over the whole reel. Zeus then battles Hades to see who emerges victorious.

A random multiplier is also added to the Expanding Wild with possible values ranging from 2x up to 100x. The multiplier applies to all winning combinations it is a part of. If more than 1 Expanding Wild is part of the same winning combination, the multiplier values are added together.

Free Spins

In both Olympus and Hades Modes, there is a Free Spins feature which is triggered by landing 3 Zeus or Hades Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 simultaneously during a base game spin. 10 free spins are awarded.

During the feature, any Expanding Wild symbol expands and gets a random multiplier ranging from 2x to 100x (as in the base game feature). The difference is that Expanding Wilds are sticky and remain on the reels for the duration of the feature. Lastly, no additional free spins can be won in either mode.

Buy Free Spins

Non-UK players can buy their way into the Free Spins feature. The cost and RTP rate varies by mode with all the details below:

Furthermore, there is a Super Free Spins option where you are guaranteed 1 Expanding Wild during the free spins. Below is a table highlighting the key details:

The Zeus vs Hades - Gods of War slot is based on 2 legendary brothers who go to battle in an epic clash. With Pragmatic Play creating 2 slightly different slot games, Hades Mode is more volatile than Olympus Mode.

Visually superb, the graphics and soundtrack vary by mode. The bonus features are identical with Expanding Wilds in the base game up to 100x. In the Free Spins feature, you’ll benefit from sticky Expanding Wilds which contain multipliers up to 100x. If you manage to get a few wild multiplier reels, big wins worth of any Greek god are possible.

With 15,000 times bet max wins available, the difference between the 2 modes should be considered. Below is a table showcasing all the vital information:

As you can see, Olympus Mode offers a slightly higher RTP rate and is easier to trigger the Free Spins feature and win the max win or 1,000 x bet or over. With Hades Mode, the hit frequency rate is fractionally higher. I would opt for Olympus Mode as it’s easier to trigger the free spins and your chances of landing bigger wins is lower. That said, I found Hades Mode more graphically appealing.

To be honest, I’m not sure why Pragmatic Play went down the route of 2 modes but its original and doesn’t just see 2 Greek gods face off traditionally with their own bonus features. Both come with Expanding Wilds and multipliers as well as free spins with sticky wild reels with multipliers.

Both offering 15,000 times bet max wins,  the Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War slot game is a popular one and will surely be given the ‘1000’ treatment by Pragmatic Play in future. 

If you like Greek mythology-themed slots, Gates of Olympus by Pragmatic Play, Age of the Gods by Playtech and 7x7 Zeus by 4ThePlayer would be my picks.
