Slot Overview: Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN by Betsoft
Betsoft draws inspiration from ancient Greece with its new Coin of Zeus – HOLD & WIN release.
This review objectively examines the game, covering gameplay, development structure, and overall appeal.
I'll detail my experience playing Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN, focusing on volatility and bonus rounds, to give you a clear understanding of the gameplay.
My goal is to help all slot players, from beginners to experts, determine if Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN is the right game for them.
This high-volatility slot offers the potential for significant wins, but remember to gamble responsibly. I'll explore the game's RTP, bet range, and maximum win potential to assess its risk and reward profile.
I'll provide an honest account of my time with the slot, including both wins and losses. While the HOLD & WIN feature is supposed to be attractive, we'll see if it lives up to expectations.
Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN Details, RTP, Payout & Volatility
What we do know is that the Zeus – HOLD & WIN’S RTP is said to be 96.18%, which is just above the industry average.
But remember that RTP is a theoretical performance metric over hundreds of thousands of spins or more, and individual sessions can vary wildly.
The volatility of the game is also high, and however wins may not seem to occur as often, when they do take place they are often greater.
This makes Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN interesting for players who enjoy the adrenaline rush of hunting for big line wins and are happy to ride through quieter moments.
In Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN, the highest win is said to be 96.18x bet. Compared to some other high-volatility slots this is quite low, but is still a fairly substantial maximum payout.
The betting ranges are also extensive, ranging between 0.20 and 100 per spin to accommodate both regular and high-stakes players. This freedom of choice in betting sizes makes it possible for players to adjust gameplay according to their bankrolls and risk preferences.
Reel Configurations The reel configuration in Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN is 3x3, which is rather uncommon as far as slots are concerned, since most of these have a standard 5 reels.
It isn't played on paylines, at least not the standard variety, but instead it uses an All Ways Pays format. That is to say, matching symbols on the neighboring reels make the winning combinations, regardless of the position on the reel.
This boosts your opportunities to form winning combinations. When I was playing the game, I thought the All Ways Pays feature really added a lot of fun, because it felt like there were always opportunities for wins.
Theme, Audio & Symbols
Unsurprisingly, the theme of Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN is ancient Greek mythology and more specifically, the universe of Zeus.
The visuals are impressive with symbols including Zeus, his bolt and other greek gods/goddesses paraphernalia. The colours are rich and vibrant, mainly golds, blues and whites, it makes for an amazing visual experience. As the screen shot shows, the effort didn’t stop with creating the overall symbol maps; attention was paid even to the smallest of details in the design of the symbols.
The sound fits the visuals well, featuring a score that conveys the grandeur and might of Mount Olympus. The sound effects are also good and full of energy to contribute to the anticipation whenever you hit the spin button and winning is close. The soundtrack sounded suitably epic without getting too repetitive or distracting during long play. The winning sounds were also cool, especially for large wins!
Icon-wise, Zeus himself of course is the highest paying symbol, then the other symbolic symbols. These are joined on the low-end by stylized versions of the standard playing card suits. The graphics are slick and the sound effects are professional, continuing Betsoft's tradition of excellent quality graphics and sound.
One thing which to do Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN justice, – in fairness, there are plenty of Greek mythology slot games out there, so Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN requires an extra edge to it.
Bonus Features
The highlight of Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN is the game’s HOLD & WIN bonus feature.
It is activated when you land at least 3 scatter symbols on the reels. In this case, the game will change to a special feature, where the triggering symbols are held. Then you are given a fixed number of respins, and the aim is to spin in yet more coin symbols on any position.
New coin symbols that land will also lock in position and reset the respins. The HOLD & WIN feature will keep going until all positions on the reels are covered with coin symbols, or until you have run out of respins.
At the conclusion of the feature, the total amounts labelled on each of the coin symbols are added up, and you win the accumulated total as a bonus prize. On one of my test plays I was able to get to the HOLD & WIN bonus and fill up half of the board with coin symbols for a lovely payout.
The coin symbols come in different values, and some may even come with multipliers, so the opportunities for your wins to soar are there.
One thing to keep in mind is that the HOLD & WIN feature can be quite volatile – whether you walk away with the top prize comes down to the amount of coin symbols you land during the respins.
Another great feature is the Free Spins Feature. Unleashed same as the previous free spins bonus. In the Free Spins feature I got a decent number of free spins and the total payout was okay but it all depends on how many of Zeus symbols you land.
Mobile Experience
Betsoft is known for their mobile-first perspective, so Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN is compatible across all devices. The game scales well across screen sizes and resolutions, and touching to control is both intuitive and responsive. I also played on both iOS and Android, and the experience was smooth and fun throughout. The visuals and audio both still look great on mobile, and there’s no noticeable degradation from the desktop iteration.
The user interface is also nicely mobile-optimized, with all the important buttons within easy reach and not covering the reels. The spin option is giant and thrust out from all the rest of the buttons, while bets look like buttons underneath. Game rules and paytables are also mobile friendly in a simple to set up and maintain information section. What I discovered is that I can, of course, play Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN on my cellphone on the go, without the frustration or experiencing any sort of a lesser gaming experience.
Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN Mobile There is also a mobile version of Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN and offers all the same options, bonus features and settings as the desktop version, including the HOLD & WIN Bonus Games, Auto Play and Sound Adjustments. This means Mobil6000 players can enjoy the latest games and all the exciting features such as the in-game missions, regardless of their smartphone or tablet. Betsoft have really succeeded at getting Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN ready for mobile, and its great for when you want to do your Egyptian slots spinning on your phone or tablet!

Pros & Cons
One of the greatest features of Coins of Zeus HOLD & WIN slot is a clear and easy rules. The 3x3 grid of reels and the All Ways Pays mechanic ensure that this is an easy game to get to grips with and should be accessible for the absolute rookies when it comes to online slot games.
The HOLD & WIN bonus feature is easy to understand as well, while the possibility of enormous wins during the feature also makes for excitement. High volatility makes this game something that will probably only attract gamers who like nothing better than a high adrenaline chase to the occasional big win. The betting limits available will appeal to all types of bankrolls and risk tolerances.
The high variance might not work for all players, as it could result in long lulls before payouts are given out. – With a max. potential of 96.18 x your stake, the maximum win is on the small side compared to some other high-variance video slots. The 3x3 reel grid could be considered restrictive to gamblers who are accustomed to larger and more complex slot machines. The concept, although well done, is pretty run of the mill for online slots these days.
Although it may not feel like Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN will stand out too much from all the other Greek mythology themed slots.
Another possible con is that there are no other bonus rounds other than the HOLD & WIN bonus feature. This can be quite exciting but some players would have liked to see some other bonus features to keep the things interesting. Also, the graphics, though well-crafted, are not groundbreaking.
All in all, some might like the simplistic way a slot game is and then some need more from a slot to say that it's good.
Our Verdict
Final Thoughts on Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN Overall, Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN is a nice addition to BetSoft’s line-up of online slots.
Its no-frill gameplay, exciting HOLD & WIN round, and high volatility factor are a hit among punters who love the taste of a big win. Game seems also very well optimised for mobile without loosing any experience while playing in the mobile. The visuals are done well, they may not be particularly innovative, but the audio fits well with the game-play.
On the whole, I’d suggest Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN for anyone searching for a straightforward playing and dramatic winning slot game. Having said that, you need to consider the game’s high variance and suitably manage your bankroll.
For lovers of slots based on Greek mythology and high-volatility entertainment, the Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN is sure to appeal. It’s easy enough for beginners to learn quickly but challenging enough to keep veteran players interested.
I think Coins of Zeus – HOLD & WIN could be a decent game, especially in relation to the HOLD & WIN feature, however there is nothing to make it stand out from the rest of the field.
