Land of Zenith

Theme and Design

An A-Grade Slot Production From A High Class Studio

Land of Zenith bears all the hallmarks of a Push Gaming production. The artistic style will be recognisable to anyone who has played this studio’s games before, although the steam punk direction with its mix of Victorian and sci-fi ideas is something new. The action takes place in an airship flying high in the clouds amongst space-age style buildings, backed by a warm, orchestral soundtrack with an uplifting, optimistic feel about it. As with other Push slots like Big Bamboo, there is a zen-like quality to the production that is at odds with the super-high variance.

As well as having superb illustrative designs, the animations are as slick as ever, particularly the disc mechanism that unlocks the 2 features by spinning and whirring intermittently. In terms of theme and design, this is as compelling as anything Push Gaming have produced to date.

RTP and Variance

Land of Zenith has an RTP of 96.29%. That is good, and a little above average for an online slot. If you want better then Push Gaming have a few games in their listings with higher RTP including Wild Swarm (97.03%), Wizard Shop (97%) or Wild Wheel Big Money (96.98% RTP).

Like much of Push’s output, this is also a highly volatile game so it will be unpredictable. Certainly, it showed itself to be that way in testing. But it does have the potential to go off in a big way too.

Maximum Win

The top payout in Land of Zenith is 21,003x. That is good, but Push are known for producing slots with high potential and you can find many more in our list of their highest paying slots including Fire Hopper, Jammin Jars 2, Big Bamboo and Dinopolis, all of which pay out up to 50,000x.

Symbols and Paytable

Land of Zenith has 6 reels and 4 rows and 30 paylines. Wins are triggered by landing 3 or more identical symbols from left to right on any payline.

One thing I immediately noticed when looking at the paytable here is that there is very good value, particularly at the top end. And in an unusual twist, there are four different levels of symbols – low, mid, high and super-high.

The low value symbols are the gem-like Moon, Planet, Star and Sun icons, valued at from 0.2x for 3 moons up to 10x for 6 suns. The mid value symbols are the Data Slates, Butterflies, Robot Owls, valued at from 1x for 3 data slates up to 35x for 6 owls. The high value symbols are the 3 characters, the Victorian man in bowler hat, the lady and the zenith captain in googles. These are valued at from 2x for 3 of the Victorian man up to 100x for 6 of the captain.

And right at the top, the super high value symbol is a character somewhat reminiscent of the Wizard of Oz, awarding 7.5x for 3, 25x for 4, 75x for 5 and a massive 200x for 6 on a payline.

In addition to these symbols you also have a Wild Crest that steps in to substitute for all regular symbols to form winning lines. Interestingly, these carry the same pay value as the super high value symbol, up to 200x for 6 on a line as well.

Features and Gameplay

Land of Zenith has few features, and aside from the Wild symbol, its all about activating either Bouncing Mystery or Hypermode Free Spins. This can only be done through the ingenious Disc Mechanism.

Align Grooves in the Disc To Unlock Bonuses

You’ll notice the Disc Mechanism to the left of the reels. This consists of 3 concentric discs with grooves in them. When a Turner symbol lands on the reels, it triggers one of the concentric discs to spin one place clockwise or anti clockwise. Turners land on reels 2, 4 or 6 to turn either the outer, middle or inner disc clockwise or anti clockwise.

Aligning the grooves on all 3 discs triggers one of two bonus features.

The Bouncing Mystery Feature Leaves Mystery Symbols on the Reels

If you align three grooves after a normal spin, the Bouncing Mystery is unlocked. For this a glowing orb is launched onto the reels. It bounces around, hitting the edges. As it does it leaves Mystery Symbols in its wake and splits into further orbs causing more mystery symbols. Eventually the orbs all disappear.

In the background the reels are spinning and eventually they stop and all the mystery symbols created reveal ONE symbol before a win is paid out.

The Hypermode Free Spins Round

If the Disc Mechanism flashes gold before the grooves align, you get Hypermode Free Spins instead.

Now, instead of the standard free spins with a fixed number, instead you get a 20 second countdown where free spins keep playing til the clock gets to zero.

BUT the cool part is this … landing Wilds increases the speed of the spins AND adds 10 seconds back onto your total AND removes low value symbols from the reels. So you are getting more spins with and enhanced paytable.

And .. there is no limit to re-triggers so you can just keep going at faster rates with more time added!
