Zeus is a popular fellow when it comes to online slots. He's already got a few games under his belt, and this offering from WMS adds another one to the pile. That's no bad thing, though – the Zeus slots are hugely popular thanks to some of their very generous features. However, the 'reel' question is, does the Zeus 1000 slot live up to the quality and sheer payout potential of the other Zeus online slot games? Read the rest of this guide to find out more, and you'll also learn about the special bonus modes on offer.

Based on the mythical Greek God of the sky and thunder, this version is much more graphically impressive than its companion games. The backdrop is very pleasant to look at, particularly the calming blue skies and mountain peaks, which make you feel like you're spinning the reels in Olympus itself. One thing that really makes this slot stand out is the reels. Instead of just one block of reels, Zeus 1000 has two, side by side on the screen. It can look confusing at first, but once you see how it works, you'll have no problem spinning away and hopefully grabbing the riches of the gods themselves. The interface is nicely laid out, too.

The special slot layout of Zeus 1000 means that there are actually 100 paylines in total. This could well be a nod to the original Zeus slot, which had a possible 100 free spins. It's a good theme to run with, as it can be very beneficial to the player. You can bet from 0.50 coins up to a pretty big 250 if you think luck is with you. There are ten reels in total, and you'll need to keep an eye on the side reels too to get the most out of any potential matches. The side reel can be filled up with wilds if you can get a stack of the Olympus wilds in the smaller stack, and that can lead to some big payouts.

There are, as you might expect from a Zeus game, free spins to be had. Not as many as the original unfortunately, but you can still get up to 30 spins by matching up the Zeus lightning bolts on reels one, three, and five on the smaller reels set. What you want to watch out for, though, is the fact that all four Zeus symbols on the smaller reel set will make all Zeus symbols you land on the larger reel set pay out up to 1000 extra for a spin. That means you'll definitely get at least 10x your stake on a win. Not bad.

While this slot may be one for total beginners, because of the multiple reels and slightly complicated free spins feature (especially when it comes to matching the Zeus symbols up for both reels), it's a solid choice at the best slots sites and can still pay very well.
