Vertical Mystery Reels Meet Sticky Respins in Mount Olympus
Mystery symbols land vertically adjacent on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 only. When they appear, they reveal either all high-paying symbols, all Wilds, or transform into a full Mystery Reel. Revealed symbols revert to Mystery status and become sticky through respins, creating cascading win opportunities.
The Pot of Gold symbol collects values from all Coins (Bronze, Silver, Gold), Diamonds, and other Pots on the grid. Collection activates top-to-bottom, left-to-right, allowing strategic chain reactions. Values range from 0.2x up to 500x your bet.
Green and Gold Clovers apply multipliers from x2 up to x20 to collected values. Multiple clovers multiply together, creating exponential win potential during bonus rounds with heavy collection symbol presence.
Hacksaw Gaming's Le Zeus abandons the conventional scatter-and-spin formula in favour of a vertical Mystery symbol system that fundamentally changes how wins develop. Unlike standard slots where symbols land randomly, Le Zeus restricts Mystery symbols to reels 2 through 5, creating predictable positioning that players can strategise around during the Sticky Respin feature.
The Myth-Taken Identity bonus introduces a Mystery Metre requiring 25 symbols to fill, rewarding patient accumulation with a full-grid Mystery Reel spin that reveals only collection symbols. This creates a guaranteed collection phase where Bronze, Silver, and Gold coins appear with minimum values that increase with each metre completion, Silver on the second trigger, Gold on the third.
The Pot of Gold operates on a strict top-to-bottom, left-to-right activation sequence. This directional collection allows multiple Pots on a single grid to collect from different symbol clusters. A Pot in the top-left corner collects everything below and to its right, whilst a Pot in the bottom-right collects nothing, making position critically important.
Multiple Clovers multiply together before applying to collected values. A x5 Green Clover and x10 Gold Clover create a x50 multiplier. If a Pot collects 100x in coin values with these two Clovers present, the final payout becomes 5,000x your bet from a single collection.
Bonushunt costs 3x your base bet and increases scatter appearance rates fivefold. At a £0.10 base bet, Bonushunt costs £0.30 per spin with 96.1% RTP. This mode suits players hunting the 4-scatter Myth-Taken Identity bonus, as the increased scatter frequency makes the 300x buy-in more achievable through natural triggers.
Le God Mode costs 50x your base bet and guarantees a minimum of 6 Mystery symbols per spin. At £0.10 base, this becomes £5.00 per spin. Scatter symbols cannot appear in this mode, making it purely a base game amplifier. The guaranteed Mystery symbols trigger the Sticky Respin feature almost every spin, creating consistent action but removing bonus game potential entirely.
Triggered by 5 scatters, this bonus begins with reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 completely filled with Mystery symbols, leaving only reel 1 and reel 6 for standard symbols. This creates immediate Sticky Respin activation on the first spin. The bonus combines Bolt & Run's persistent Mystery symbols with Myth-Taken Identity's metre system, requiring 25 Mystery symbols to trigger a reward spin.
The critical difference: minimum coin values start at 5x instead of 1x, meaning Bronze coins begin at 5x your bet rather than 0.2x. Silver coins start at 25x instead of 5x. This compressed value range means reward spins in Gods Just Wanna Have Fun deliver substantially higher payouts than equivalent spins in other bonus modes, justifying the rarity of the 5-scatter trigger.
Base game RTP sits at 96.26%, matching the Le God Mode Feature Spins exactly. Bonushunt Feature Spins drop to 96.1%, paying for the increased scatter frequency with slightly reduced long-term returns. Bolt & Run bonus offers the highest RTP at 96.33%, whilst Myth-Taken Identity sits at 96.25%, just below base game levels.
The Myth-Taken Identity bonus shifts from High to Medium volatility, the only mode in Le Zeus to do so. This volatility reduction occurs because the Mystery Metre system guarantees periodic reward spins, smoothing out the win distribution compared to Bolt & Run's pure high-volatility chaos where Mystery symbols stick but provide no guaranteed collection phases.
Le Zeus caps wins at 20,000x your bet. Upon reaching this threshold, the current round immediately terminates, cancelling any remaining free spins or active features. At maximum £50 bet, this represents a £1,000,000 potential win. At minimum £0.10 bet, maximum win equals £2,000.
The 20,000x cap interacts uniquely with the collection system. If a Pot collects values totalling 15,000x and two x10 Clovers are present, the theoretical payout would be 1,500,000x. Instead, the game awards 20,000x and ends the round. This cap primarily affects Gods Just Wanna Have Fun bonus, where compressed high-value coins and multiple Pots create the highest theoretical win potential.
Le Zeus includes comprehensive keyboard controls. SHIFT + B opens the bonus buy menu, whilst SHIFT + 1/2/3/4 instantly purchases the four bonus options without menu navigation. SHIFT + F1/F2/F3/F4 activates Feature Spins modes. SHIFT + Arrow UP/DOWN adjusts bet levels, and SHIFT + T toggles turbo mode for base game and bonus rounds separately.
Autoplay configuration uses SHIFT + A to open the menu, SHIFT + Arrow LEFT/RIGHT to change round counts, and SHIFT + ENTER to start. Loss limits and win limits can be set through the autoplay menu with custom values beyond the preset 5x, 20x, 50x, 75x options. SHIFT + I reveals the paytable and game information during active play.
