Ever been to Las Vegas, stood in the middle of the slots section and closed your eyes? If you have,
you'll know exacly where I am headed with this one. WMS have started to launch their
Vegas slots into online casinos and the Zeus Slot is
one of the first to land. WMS are famed for their Jackpot Party progressive slot game and the unique
gameplay of their "Hot Hot Super Respin" slots series with it's very distinctive sound engine that sounds
like a jet engine warming up at times!
The Zeus slot was a precursor to one of my favourite games, Zeus 2, which I first played at the
Venetian casino in Macau back in 2007 and again more recently on a trip to Vegas at the Encore. Like
one of it's cousins, the Palace of Riches slot, the Super Respin series actually pulled me away from
IGT slots like my favorite Cleopatra slot and
the excellent Da Vinci Diamonds for the first time ever LOL. Zeus, Palace of Riches II, the amazing
Star Trek slot and the new Lord Of The Rings slot have propelled
WMS right up there alongside IGT and in fact, 2010 saw them overtake IGT in floor space at one popular
Las Vegas casino and even launch online with Jackpot Party Casino.
Anyway, onto the Zeus slot itself. The video below is a promo for the new online version which is available at
Jackpot Party casino (doesn't take US players right now). I say new, but bear in mind that this is the
original Zeus slot and the Zeus II slot will probably be forthcoming once WMS are settled in online. The slot itself has stacked wilds on every
reel and the obligatory free spins feature. The free spins are triggered by getting the blue bonus symbols on reels 1, 2 and 3 for 10 free
spins but here's the twist. If you get all 5 of these symbols then you get 100 free spins! Now that my friends, is some bonus! But lets
be honest it's not easy and I've yet to see it happen.

which has videos of most of their online games including the Wizard Of Oz, Bruce Lee and Zeus slot games.
