Introduction
Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War came out on 22 May 2023. It plays on a 5×5 grid with 15 paylines and has an idea of its own: before playing you choose Zeus on Olympus or Hades in the underworld.
Pragmatic's sheet rates it high volatility, with an RTP of 96.07% (also 95.05% and 94.05%) and a ceiling of 15,000 times the bet. It plays from €0.10 to €250.
Key mechanics
Wilds expand to cover the whole reel and can carry multipliers of up to 100x, in the base game and in the bonus.
Olympus triggers the bonus more often (1 in 203 spins) with lower average wins; Hades less often (1 in 410) with higher average wins. 3 scatters give 10 free spins with sticky expanded wilds. The bonus costs 75x on Olympus and 150x in Hades.
Verdict
A game that lets you choose your own risk, something rare at Pragmatic. If it is your first time, Olympus is the calmer option.
