Fortunate Zeus Slots
To say Zeus is fortunate is a bit of an understatement. He's the most powerful God and he can shoot lightning from his fingers. Enough said. So it's no surprise Real Time Gaming (RTG) decided to design an entire slot around the God of Gods. Right away players will see a stunning background of clouds amongst a pink and blue sky. The large pillars that frame the slot itself are a nice touch and the symbols are beautifully designed, bright and colorful - certainly fit for a God. Even the music is perfect. It's that right amount of dramatic and tense that players will feel a little extra bit of excitement with each spin. But can players come away with their piece of Zeus' fortunes? Let's dive in and take a look!
Bets and Paylines
Fortunate Zeus is a 5-reel slot with 50 paylines. The bet sizes range from $0.50 to $5, so it's suitable for a range of bankrolls.
Play Symbols
Fortunate Zeus features a wonderful collection of premium and low-paying symbols, along with special ones.
Premium symbols:
- Zeus: the top symbol. 5 of these and you'll be struck with all the power of Zeus himself!
- Red-headed goddess (Artemis)
- Brunette goddess (Athena)
- Blonde goddess (Aphrodite)
Low-paying symbols:
- 10, J, Q, K, A playing cards
The Lightning of Zeus (hand and lightning bolt) is the wild symbol. It substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and Lightning Orb. The wild only appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Fortunate Zeus Logo is the scatter symbol. 3 or more of these trigger the free games.
The Lightning Orb is a special symbol. 6 or more of these trigger the hold and spin feature.
Special and Bonus Features
Fortunate Zeus has two features players should take note of.
- Free Spins
This feature triggers when a player spins 3 or more Fortunate Zeus scatter symbols. Players will be awarded 6 free games. 3 or more Fortunate Zeus scatter symbols during free spins will award an additional 3 free spins.
- Fortune Link Feature
This is Fortunate Zeus' version of the popular hold and spin feature. If a player spins 6 or more Lightning Orbs, the Fortune Link feature triggers. The Lightning Orbs lock in place and the player receives one re-spin. If more Lightning Orbs appear, they also lock and the player gets another re-spin. This continues until no new Lightning Orbs land or all positions are filled. Filling all 15 spots awards the Super Grand jackpot!

To Play Or Not To Play?
That is the question. And the answer is… yes, with some reservations. Fortunate Zeus has a lot of good things going for it, but we were a little underwhelmed with the special features. Only 6 free spins - and no multipliers - isn't that appealing and the Fortune Link only starts with one re-spin. But the graphics and theme are top-notch, and the higher bet sizes can lead to some nice wins which might cancel out the underwhelming bonus features. All in all, Fortunate Zeus is worth some of your time during your next session, but probably shouldn't be the featured slot you spin.
