How To Play Zeus 1000 Mobile Slot
Set high on the mount of Olympus, the Zeus 1000 slot is as colossal as its double reels suggest, yet… not quite as fun as its predecessor.
We should point out that we review mobile slots. That means we review games made for mobile and tablets.
So we should point out, right now, that if you are a fan of the WMS Zeus slot series, you should 100% play the Zeus 1,000 online slot and add a star to this review.
Better for iPads and Tablets
The Zeus 1000 slot on mobile suffers from the same condition as its sister slot Spartacus Gladiator of Rome.
That is that with its two sets of colossal reels, where you are basically playing two slot games in one, what you have is an already pretty big 5×4 reel to the left and an absolutely huge 5×12 set of reels on the right.
It makes for pretty exciting gameplay… on tablets. On mobile, the graphics could be clearer, and the action could be easier to follow.
This format does not transfer well to the small screen.
That said, it’s still very playable and has the wins to back up its god-like status, but it’s like watching a pirate DVD footage of your favourite film.
Sure, you know in your head what it looks like, and it will do in a pinch if you are really bored and have no choice, but… ultimately… wouldn’t you prefer to wait and watch it in glorious HD?
The Zeus 1000 Slot is worth waiting for
If you have the patience to wait till you’re connected to your tablet/desktop, then good. Because Zeus 1,000 is as good as its predecessors and completely different at the same time.
The Zeus slot online brought in the idea that during the free spins, the highest paying symbol, Zeus, would come stacked. In the Zeus III slot game (2 came out as a social slot only), start playing around with the set-up of the reels and gave you stacked wilds and stacked Zeus throughout the game.
How does Zeus 1000 top that up? More reels, more wilds, more Zeus symbols. Up to 1,000 extra Zeus symbols in the free spins, in fact, leading to some potentially colossal wins.
Zeus is a capricious god of thunder
We write more about the feature below, but needless to say, this Zeus 1000 slot machine is as well balanced as the two that came before.
It just never feels like it’s quite as easy to get the really big wins. Because of the 100 paylines and colossal reels, you are waiting for all these stacked symbols to line up, and when they don’t, you feel instantly deflated.
It’s a hard machine to love unless you get very lucky, very quickly.
What it won’t do is eat all your cash quickly. This god wants to keep you, tease you, and work you for as long as you are willing to pray to his capricious ways.
Because if you give him your time, you may suddenly find yourself with a screen, reel to reel, full of Zeus and Wild stacked symbols. Then you’ll be a converted Olympian.

Zeus 1000 Bonus Features
Wilds and Transferring Wilds: The temple is the wild symbol and only appears on the standard 5x4 reels. That's ok, though, as it's usually stacked, and when it covers a whole reel in the standard set, it will then transfer to the colossal set on the same reel.
It comes on all 5 reels of the first set and replaces all other symbols except bonus.
Bonus & Bonus symbols: 3 or more scattered bonus symbols will trigger the free spins.
- 3 = 10 free spins + 2x your total bet win
- 4 = 15 free spins + 10x your total bet win
- 5 = 20 free spins + 20x your total bet win
- 6 = 30 free spins + 25x your total bet win
The bonus symbol is now wild during the free spins, which is handy as there are no traditional wild symbols in the free spins, and you cannot re-trigger the free spins.
1,000 extra symbols: During the free spins, Zeus himself will show up to cover reel one and will then give anything from 400, 500, 600, 700 or 800 extra stacked Zeus symbols on all the other reels.
These Zeus symbols are both the highest paying symbol and wild.
What? No 900 or 1,000? Yes, sorry, those two. They just happen so rarely we almost forgot to add them.
Still, even 700 or 800 can lead to some decent wins on the reels if those symbols line up just right on those colossal reels.
Bonus Guarantee: You'll be surprised how grateful you are for this feature. If you haven't even won 10 times your bet after a truly bad free spin round, this bonus guarantee will top up your win as a consolation prize.
Very much like you might find in the Raging Rhino mobile slot.
The free spins trigger fairly often, about every 50 spins or so, but can easily bring you 5x your bet or 50x your bet.
Like we said. Capricious.
Pros
- Free Spins with extra Zeus symbols offer more wins
- High 96% RTP
- Guaranteed free spins bonus win
- Stacked symbols and stacked wlds for more wins
