Olympus mode is 96.07% and Hades mode is 96.05% on the default build; casinos can run versions around 95% or 94%, and the paytable inside the game shows which one you are on.
WHAT IT IS
Zeus vs Hades: Gods of War in short
Zeus vs Hades: Gods of War is a 2023 line slot from Pragmatic Play, 5 reels, 5 rows and 15 lines, with a switch in the corner that lets you pick a side. Olympus mode triggers the bonus more often for smaller wins. Hades mode triggers it less often for bigger ones. Both run the same expanding wilds with 2x to 100x multipliers and the same 15,000x cap.
Canadians search for it because it is the Pragmatic Greek game that is not a tumble slot, and because the mode switch is a genuine choice rather than a gimmick. The RTP on the default build is 96.07% in Olympus and 96.05% in Hades, lower than the Gates games, which is worth knowing before you settle in.
HOW IT PLAYS
Base game and symbols
Fifteen fixed lines paying left to right on a 5 by 5 grid. Three of a kind pays on the high symbols; the low ones need more. The grid is tall, so a lot of positions are in play per spin, and the wins that matter all involve the wild.
The wild lands on any reel and expands to fill it. When it is part of a win it carries a random multiplier from 2x to 100x, and two expanded wilds in one win multiply together. A 20x wild on reel 2 and a 5x on reel 4 make a 100x line, and with 15 lines through a full reel that is several lines at once. In the base game that is the dream; most spins give one wild with a 2x or 3x and a modest return.
The mode switch sits beside the spin button and you can flip it between spins. Olympus feels like a normal high-volatility slot. Hades is noticeably drier, with longer gaps between features. Spins are quick either way. Most casino bonuses cap the stake at C$5 to C$7 a spin and exclude the bonus buys, and because the two modes have different buy prices some terms pages name the game outright. Read yours.
Features
Two modes you switch any time: Olympus (high volatility, feature hits more often) or Hades (very high, rarer but bigger)
Expanding wilds with 2x to 100x multipliers
Free spins: 3 scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 give 10 spins with sticky expanding wilds
No retrigger inside the feature
Bonus buy: 75x (Olympus) or 150x (Hades), 300x for a guaranteed expanding wild
THE FEATURE
Bonus round
Three scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger 10 free spins, and you cannot win more inside the round. Every expanding wild that lands during the feature stays locked for the remaining spins with its multiplier attached. The round is about how early the first wild lands and what number it carries: a 50x wild on spin two is paid on every win through spin ten.
A dead bonus is ten spins with no wild, or one 2x wild on spin nine. It pays a few line wins, and on a 150x Hades buy that is most of the money gone. The 300x buy guarantees one expanding wild but not its multiplier, so a 2x is still possible.
OUR TAKE
Should you play Zeus vs Hades: Gods of War?
Play it if you want a line slot with real variance control and a bonus that depends on two or three symbols rather than a hundred tumbles. It rewards picking Olympus with a small bankroll and Hades only when you can afford a long dry spell. Skip it for bonus wagering; the RTP is lower than its stablemates and the dry runs are long. Gates of Olympus is the higher-RTP Greek option, and Book of Dead is the other expanding-symbol line slot people compare it to.

Olympus if you are on a small balance or want to see the feature in a normal session; it triggers more often and pays less per round. Hades if you have a bankroll for long gaps and want bigger rounds. The RTP difference between them is tiny, so it is purely about variance.
02Can I play Zeus vs Hades with a bonus in Canada?
Usually, with the stake capped at about C$5 to C$7 a spin and all three bonus buy options excluded while bonus money is active. It is a poor wagering game: the default RTP is around 96%, the volatility is high to very high, and you can burn a deposit without a feature.
03Does the free spins round retrigger?
No. You get 10 spins and that is the round, in either mode. The only thing that grows is the set of locked expanding wilds and their multipliers, so a round that gets no wild in the first six spins is close to dead.
