Zeus vs Typhon

Zeus vs Typhon: Slot Overview

When it comes to the ancient Greek god Zeus, if you play slots long enough, you are likely to become acquainted with him sooner or later. The god Typhon not so much, but some early in the review research revealed Typhon to be a giant serpentine entity and one of the deadliest in Greek mythology. Sounds like a worthy opponent for the chief god of the Pantheon, and players get to witness the showdown in developer Pragmatic Play's online slot Zeus vs Typhon. Zeus seems to be one of the studio's main guys, since Prag has put him up against another heavyweight of antiquity in the online slot Zeus vs Hades: Gods of War. However, despite assumptions to the contrary, Zeus vs Typhon is a completely different game from that battler, with a new lineup of features to experience.

The two games share some graphical similarities, having both been made to a high standard and possessing a vibrant classical quality. In Zeus vs Typhon, however, gamblers do not choose which entity's mode they want to play in. Instead, both Zeus and Typhon inhabit the screen, but they do command their own symbols, which pay from whatever side they dominate. The robust, muscular artwork meant all was good at the early stage. Pragmatic Play has proven its Greek mythology chops in the past, helping set Zeus vs Typhon's curiosity levels to high.

Zeus vs Typhon is unusual in that it not only pays from either side of its 6x4 gaming area, it has two sets of pay symbols that are linked to either side, and 1,024 ways to win, either way. A highly volatile slot, Zeus vs Typhon takes bets of $/€0.20 to $/€240, and generates an RTP of 96.49%. Like its two main characters, two ante bets accompany the game. They are the lower cost ante bet at 4x the stake to make triggering free spins naturally 10x higher, and the super spin costing 10x the bet to have the God Multiplier feature active on every spin and a random multiplier on each side.

In Zeus vs Typhon, left symbols pay left to right while right symbols pay right to left on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost or rightmost reels. Left symbols are winged shoes, pots, harps, winged horses, eagles, and Zeus, while the right symbols are flaming shoes, pots, harps, flaming horses, phoenixes, and Typhon. Both symbol types have the same payout values of 0.5x to 2.5x the bet for a 5 OAK combination. Wild symbols are not part of Zeus vs Typhon at any stage.

Zeus vs Typhon: Slot Features

Appearing in all phases of play is a side-by-side God Multiplier feature, as well as a free spins round, and a pair of feature buys.

God Multiplier

At random, on every spin, a multiplier of x2 to x20 may appear on the left or the right of the game. The left multiplier applies to all wins with left symbols, and the right multiplier applies to all wins with right symbols. If a spin has a winning combination with both left and right symbols and multipliers on both sides, all wins are multiplied by both values multiplied together.

Free Spins

Hitting 3 scatters awards 10 free spins, and for every additional triggering scatter, 5 free spins are granted. At every free spin, a random multiplier appears on each side. Landing one or more scatters during the round awards +1 free spin for each scatter.

Feature Buy

Free spins can be instantly triggered by buying them from the base game. Paying 125x triggers a regular free spins session. However, paying 500x triggers super free spins where, whenever there is a win, side multipliers are added to a general multiplier for each side. Wins are multiplied by the general multiplier of the corresponding side or both multiplied between each other if there are wins from both sides.

Zeus vs Typhon: Slot Verdict

Zeus vs Typhon is another strong addition to Pragmatic Play's mythological portfolio, bringing two mighty beings together in one almighty clash. In an unorthodox step, to celebrate the participants in this cosmic tussle, the studio has given both gods their own pay symbols, which award wins from opposite sides of the gaming grid. On a dreadfully cynical level, players would still win when combos land left to right or right to left, whether there were two sets of pay symbols or one, but the cosmetic effect is a fun one and meshes nicely with the god vs god theme, looking good as it does so.

If you thought Zeus vs Typhon was going to be a Zeus vs Hades round two, better be readjusting those assumptions. There are no full reel sticky wilds in this one. There are multipliers, though, popping up on either side, or both sides, of the gaming grid to enhance wins. As always, bigger multis are best, so it's a bit of a letdown that Zeus vs Typhon's most potent multiplier effect can only be accessed through its most expensive feature buy. By now, we're kind of getting used to Pragmatic Play locking a game's most lethal weapons up in a pricey box, so it is what it is, but still.

Besides, the lower feature buy, or even natural bonus triggers are technically able to turn out a juicy result, so it's certainly not all doom, gloom, and getting worked over by powerful entities. Quite the opposite when the game's moving in a positive direction, and a 10,000x the bet win cap is a sizable prize for whoever manages to come out tops in this battle of the gods. Zeus vs Typhon might not be as white-knuckle a ride as Zeus vs Hades, but it is a solid mythology battler of a game once the dust settles.
