Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower

Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Review

Fortune Factory welcomes you to the heavenly kingdom of ancient Greece in Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower slot, a follow-up in their popular Gold Blitz series. We’ve already seen Gold Blitz Extreme and Gold Blitz Ultimate, so the Greek mythology theme is a welcome break from the more generic money-themed predecessors. Don’t worry, though, as you’ll definitely recognize the visual style.

The game plays out on a 3-4-5-4-3 grid with 720 ways to win, and you can play with bet levels ranging from €0.2 to €50 per spin. You win by landing matching symbols on at least 3 adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, with Wild symbols substituting for regular pay symbols. The premium symbols, consisting of dollar signs and warrior icons, pay between 1.5x and 2x your stake for 5 of a kind. The royals pay between 0.8x and 1.2x for the same.

Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Slot - Reels Screen

Zeus symbols appear on reel 3 to activate Collect and Jackpot Collect symbols, collecting cash and jackpot prizes from the Fortune Tower seen on the left. In addition, Zeus symbols with no Collect symbols increase the Fortune Tower Multiplier, boosting your prizes by up to x5. You can also upgrade regular Collect symbols to Jackpot Collect symbols by landing more than one Zeus symbol to activate the Collect symbols.

The main attraction in Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower slot is the bonus round, where the grid expands to 5x5 and you can win both ways. The 96.3 % RTP is a bit above the industry average, and with a hit rate of 31.9 %, you can expect regular wins. However, keep in mind that this is a high volatility installment from Fortune Factory, meaning ups and downs are to be expected. The Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower max win is a 5,000x your stake.

Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Features

You get plenty of ways to collect cash and jackpot prizes in Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower, and also several ways to boost the prizes. The bonus round grid expands to allow for more collect symbols, so let’s dive in to check it all out!

Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Prize Collection

You can land the Zeus symbol on reel 3 only, and up to 5 Zeus symbols can fill the entire reel. The Zeus symbol activates any Collect symbols present, which are either Cash or Jackpot Collect symbols. When activated, the Collect symbols, which can land on all reels except reel 3, collect values from the Gold Blitx Fortune Tower:

• Regular cash prizes are worth between 0.5x and 15x your stake.
• Jackpot prizes worth 5x and 1,000x your stake.

The Cash Collect symbol collects regular cash prizes from the tower, while the Jackpot Collect symbols collect jackpot prizes. Each Collect symbol collects one cash prize or jackpot, meaning up to multiple prizes can be won from a single spin.

Cash Collect Symbol Upgrade Feature

If you land more than one Zeus symbol together with Collect symbols, a random amount of Cash Collect symbols can be upgraded to Jackpot Collect symbols. However, you need to trigger the Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Prize Collection feature at least one time before this Upgrade feature can be triggered.

Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Multiplier

Landing Zeus symbols with no Collect symbols in view increases the Fortune Tower Multiplier by +1 per Zeus symbol. The multiplier boosts random Jackpot or Cash prize values on the tower, and it can reach as high as x5 at the most. Once the multiplier-boosted prize is collected, the multiplier resets. Multipliers also reset after the bonus round, but a random multiplier of up to x5 may be granted as you re-enter the base game.

Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Free Spins Bonus

You need 3 bonus scatter symbols in view on the same base game spin to trigger the Bonus Round, awarding 8 free spins. During the feature, you win +3 extra spins from 2 bonus scatters, and +8 extra spins from 3 bonus scatters. The difference from the base game is that the grid expands to 5x5, giving you 3,125 win ways. Also, you can win both ways during the bonus round, effectively doubling the number of win ways to 6,250.

Theme & Graphics

Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fortune Factory plays out against a backdrop of the classic Olympus temple emerging from the clouds, with the Fortune Tower prominently displayed on the left-hand side. Two towering warrior statues guard the entrance to the heavenly spheres, and the reels are filled with icons symbolizing Zeus and Greek warriors. The soundtrack adds to the heroic atmosphere, and overall, the flashy visual style is recognizable from the previous Blitz installments.

Pros and Cons of Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower

Our Verdict

It’s hard to argue with success, and the Blitz series from Fortune Factory has been a massive hit since the very first installment, Gold Blitz, was released in 2022. While the cash collect feature was all the rage at the time, and still is to a certain extent, I suspect it was the trademarked Gold Blitz feature that made the first release such a home run. The win guarantee with an abundance of cash and jackpot symbols made it irresistible, but it’s not included in this follow-up.

Instead, Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower expands on the collect feature by including various new avenues to collecting your riches. You need the Zeus symbol to activate the Collect symbols, though, but it tends to appear quite frequently in my experience. The Upgrade feature comes in handy at times, turning regular collect symbols into jackpot collectors. This can certainly be helpful given the mediocre size of the cash prizes, but don’t expect massive jackpots most of the time either.

I really like the multiplier feature that’s been added in this game, as it means that Zeus symbols never go to waste. Being able to boost cash prizes and jackpots by up to x5 is a pretty neat upgrade, and it means the 5,000x win cap can be captured from a single Jackpot prize. Overall, the game is well-balanced, and you get the sense that the features mesh well together to work in your favor when luck is on your side.

While not being a huge fan of the Blitz series myself, I can certainly see the appeal. I find the visuals too flashy and in-your-face, but I still enjoyed my Zeus Gold Blitz Fortune Tower test session more than I thought I would. The expanded bonus round grid helps land you more collect and Zeus symbols, but as is usually the case in these types of games, regular line wins are not the main course. To conclude, fans of the Blitz series will probably enjoy this game as much as they did previous installments.
