You know Hacksaw, they like to get your braincells firing when playing their slots, so at first glance they are not that easy to follow. This one has a progressive format to it, with one feature triggering another, then another, and so on. Which of course can be thrilling when it goes your way.
Here is how it works.
Cascading Wins and Divine Squares
Everything starts with cascading wins, a regular feature in Cluster Pay slots.
For every win, all winning symbols are removed from the grid and remaining symbols and new ones drop down to fill the spaces left behind. More clusters? Then that process repeats until no more wins are triggered.

These are important because if a Hand of Zeus symbol is visible on the grid at the same time as a Divine Square then it will activate the Divine Square, revealing either bronze, silver or gold coins with cash value OR Vessel or Wealth of Zap of Zeus symbols.
Coins, Vessel of Wealth and Zap of Zeus Symbols
The next phase is a cash collect one. Your cash comes via those coins valued as follows:
- Bronze: 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x
- Silver: 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x
- Gold: 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x
Before they are collected, their value MAY be increased if a Zap of Zeus symbol is in an adjacent spot. If it is, it applies its multiplier value to those coins. It might be 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x.

However, there is a more powerful element to the gameplay in the form of the Vessel of Wealth symbol. This is a special collector symbol. It will collect the value of ALL coins on the grid as well as the value of OTHER Vessel of Wealth symbols too. For this to happen, the collection has to happen in a specific order. Namely, top to bottom, reel by reel, left to right, starting at the far left.
Sounds good? It get’s better …
Once all Vessel of Wealth symbols have done their collections, remaining Divine Squares reveal symbols and the process continues. Only when all activations and reveals are finished is the final payout made. Then all coins and Vessels of Wealth are added together and multiplied by your bet value.
Free Spins Round – What If Zeus Was One Of Us?
What if, eh?!
To find out you need to land 3 or more FS scatters on a single spin. You get 8 plays where Divine Squares are persistent UNTIL they are activated by a Zap of Zeus.
Meanwhile, if you land 2 or 3 more FS symbols during the round you will pick up 2 or 4 more free spins.
OR you can progress into the Ze Zeus Takes The Wheel bonus round by landing 4 more FS symbols. That gets you another 4 spins as well.
Enhanced Free Spins Round – Ze Zeus Takes The Wheel
Landing 4 FS symbols in the base game, or the first free spins round triggers this enhanced free spins feature. You have a massive 12 free spins in which ALL Divine Square are persistent throughout, even after they have been activated by Hand of Zeus.
Again, if you land 2 or 3 more FS symbols during this round you will pick up 2 or 4 more free spins.
Super Enhanced Free Spins Round – Ze Zeus Might Superstar
Finally, if you land 5 FS symbols in the base game you’ll be jetted off to the Ze Zeus Might Superstar feature with 12 free spins. In this extraordinary (and probably very rare event) Divine Squares remain active throughout. And now, Hand of Zeus symbols are GUARANTEED on each spin.
And to seal the deal … there are no bronze coins in this feature, only silver and gold!
