Zeus Lightning Power Reels is a pretty simple game on the whole, but that doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining. The core gameplay is enjoyable, thanks to all the bells and whistles from the design department. The large number of paylines combined with the Expanding Lightning feature keeps things engaging, even if there’s little variation from spin to spin.

Red Tiger officially places the volatility of the game around the high end. That means you’re likely to see less frequent wins that are larger in size. The published RTP — which stands for return to player — is 95.66%. So, over the long run, Zeus Lighting Power Reels pays out roughly £95.66 for every £100 wagered by players on the game.

This number is calculated over millions of spins so it won’t bear out during a standard session, but it gives players an idea of the slot’s overall payouts. For reference, we consider 96% RTP the middle ground, so Zeus Lightning is pretty much bang on average.

There’s not much to mention in terms of bonus features in Zeus Lightning Power Reels. Aside from the Expanding Lightning mechanic, the only other bonus feature is the free spins round.

The free spins symbol works a bit like a scatter — landing two anywhere on the reels awards 2x your bet. Land three, however, and you’ll win 5x your stake plus eight free spins. During the free spins round, up to three Zeus wilds can appear. The first one to land will trigger Expanding Lightning, and the second and third can upgrade the chosen expanded symbol to the next highest on the pay table. We enjoyed the prospect of some big wins in this round, despite the fact there are no major changes to the gameplay.

Zeus Lightning Power Reels has been developed with HTML5 technology, so it runs smoothly on mobile devices of all sizes. Animations remain fluid and the gameplay itself is seamless with no glitches.

We tested the game on an iPhone 8. The graphics were notably less crisp than on the desktop version, looking slightly pixelated and blurry. Some graphical effects such as the screen shake were missing as well. We’d recommend playing Zeus Lightning Power Reels on desktop if you want the most enjoyable and immersive experience.

Let’s not beat around the bush — Zeus Lightning Power Reels looks fantastic on desktop. Whether it’s the glinting gold frame of the reels or forks of lightning illuminating the brooding skies in the background, this slot is highly detailed. There’s a sense of grandeur about the game that really makes it feel exciting to play.

The sound design is another aspect that Red Tiger has really worked hard on. Every element of the gameplay is punctuated by an audible flourish, and each crack of thunder augmented by a thrilling screen shake effect. It’s clear the developer has put a lot of love into the presentation of Zeus Lightning.
