Game Information
Introduction
When Zeus and Hades clash, subtlety is not invited to the party. Zeus vs Hades 250 throws you straight into a divine family feud powered by lightning, fire, and very large numbers. This is not a gentle mythological stroll. It’s a high-energy, turbo-charged version of the original, built for players who like their spins loud and their multipliers louder.
The 250 edition cranks everything up. Bigger stakes, and far bigger potential pay outs. Every spin feels like it could tip the balance of power. One moment Zeus is raining down multipliers from Olympus. The next, Hades is dragging symbols into the underworld for massive wins. It’s fast, volatile, and unapologetically intense.
We have seen Pragmatic play give slots the ‘1000’ treatment. But this, whilst only ‘250’, it somehow feels like a massive step up. If we thought Zeus vs Hades Gods of War was volatile… Then this slot makes you rethink. It’s not here to be fun, colourful or arty. It’s here to steal your lunch money, shove your head down the toilet, and pull your pants down in front of the entire place.

Visuals and Audio
Visually, Zeus vs Hades 250 is pure spectacle. The slot screen is split between sky and underworld, with Zeus crackling above and Hades smouldering below. Symbols are bold, chunky, and easy to read, even when the grid starts exploding with effects.
Animations are fast and aggressive. Lightning strikes, flames burst, and symbols vanish in showers of sparks. The soundtrack leans cinematic, with deep drums and sharp stings that make every win feel important. It’s not subtle, but it knows exactly what it wants to be.
Gameplay
Base Game
The base game runs on a 5×5 grid with 15 fixed pay lines. Wins pay left to right. Nothing fancy here. The spice comes from the wilds. Much like the original. You can still land some mega cheese in the base game, but you will experience many dry spells.
Wild symbols expand to cover the entire reel when they land. Each expanding wild carries a random multiplier. These can climb as high as 250×. If more than one wild helps form a win, the multipliers stack.
You can switch between Zeus and Hades at any time in the base game. Zeus feels slightly friendlier. Hades feels colder and riskier. Both can pay. One just makes you wait longer.
Bonus Spins
The main attraction is the Zeus vs Hades Free Spins feature. Free spins trigger with three scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. You receive 10 free spins. During free spins, you can not retrigger, so you best hope that 10 spins go crazy. Landing a wild symbol, causes it to become a banner. Expanding from top to bottom of its reel. The banner will come with 2 possible multis, the winning multi will then apply. They go from 2x up to a huge 250x. Multiple banner multi’s will stack on a win.
Feature buys
There are 3 specific buys for the bonus. If you are lucky enough to live in a country that allows it. If not, you can always play slots on the 10p Gamer Arcade. Here you can play for free, and many slots will have the buy options.
You can buy the standard bonus round for 150x your stake. There is also Super Free Spins 1, which guarantees one expanding wild, for 300x your bet. Finally, new to this slot, Super Free Spins 2 costs a hefty 3,500x your stake. This option is advertised as guaranteeing one expanding wild with a massive 250x multiplier.
Feature Spins
There are 2 ‘special spins’ this are mini versions of the bonus buys. So you can replicate them for one spin. Super spin 1, at a cost of 10x will guarantee one wild per spin. However it does not have to form a winning line hit. Super spin 2, at a cost of 300x you are guaranteed at least one expanding wild with a 250x multi. However again it does not need to form a winning line, so beware.
However, this may change. Something does not feel entirely right. During some test spins in the Arcade, Super Spins 2 triggered several expanding wilds, but none carried a 250x multiplier. The win was still huge, but it did not match the feature description. Because of this, it’s likely Pragmatic Play will adjust or clarify this feature in a future update.
Final Thoughts
Zeus vs Hades 250 is not here for casual sightseeing. It’s a high-voltage slot designed for players who enjoy volatility and big potential pay outs. The visuals are loud, the gameplay is fast, and the bonuses can hit hard.
I can’t help but feel like I am going to be spending a lot of money on this slot. Hopefully winning it too. However, I know I will be playing this in demo mode, so I can use the buy features. It’s really refreshing to see Pragmatic Play do something a little different with a slot.
I really think this is a early contender for slot of the year. It’s got everything you want for a risky all or nothing play. It’s a proper hero or zero. You will be walking away a wealthy person, or opening your empty wallet next time you’re at the bar. If you want to see this played, im sure it will be on the website, and youtube shortly after release.
If you liked the original but wanted more bite, this version delivers. Just remember, the gods give generously, but they also take without warning. Spin wisely, or risk being smited into next week.
