Playson Slots
Playson free slots bring a lot to the table of online gaming because they are super fun and come with plenty of interesting themes and bonus features. The newest addition to their portfolio, God of the Wild Sea, for example, is an epic game that will blow your mind in terms of bonus features and overall design.

Playson Limited holds a recognition notice certificate number RN/101/2018 granted by MGA on 3rd December 2018.
Zeus: Thunder Reels Slot (Playson)
Zeus: Thunder Reels is the latest slot to join Playson’s game portfolio, and this title looks like an improvement on one of their older games.
In 2016, Playson released a slot titled Thunder Reels, which was classic in theme.
With Zeus, it appears like the approach is totally different, and I came to learn that this newer slot uses an Ancient Greek themed design. Here is my full review of Zeus: Thunder Reels:
Game Set-Up
Zeus: Thunder Reels uses the usual 5 reels with up to 20 pay lines/betting ways. The slot offers several features that include Free spins (bonus game), Wild Reels, Stacked Symbols, Collect Symbols, and Sticky Wilds.
Betting and Prizes
The slot is Medium-High in volatility, and the minimum amount that you can use per wager is $0.10 per spin. If you are a high roller, you will enjoy a higher betting range since the maximum that the developer allows for this game is $100 per spin.
The highest possible win is 813x the stake, and this is not a very commendable considering that this title also offers a below-average RTP of 95.42%.
Zeus: Thunder Reels Features
One of the most notable icons on this slot is the blue lightning icons that are strategically positioned above the reels. These icons are dormant, but you can activate them by landing special Lightning bonus symbols.
On the 3rd and middle reel, you will notice up to 3 lightning symbols. On the 2nd and 4th reels, you will get 2 icons, while the 1st and the 5th reels have only one icon to trigger.
This is how you will get to know the number of lightning symbols required per every reel before you can be able to trigger the Wild Reel feature.
The wild reels can remain in the same position for as long as you collect the required number of icons to trigger it. This is to say that you will get 3 spins for the middle reel, 2 spins for the 2nd and the 4th reel, while the 1st and the 5th reel get 1 spin.

However, during the bonus round, things are totally different, and you will only get 1 lightning icon on each reel.
With this arrangement, it is only possible to trigger the Wild Reel feature each time you get a Lightning bonus symbol. However, this feature will be around for only 1 spin.
To trigger the bonus, you need to land 3 temple scatters on the 1st, 3rd and/or 5th reel. In return, Zeus: Thunder Reels will reward you with up to 15 free spins.
Theme and design
Playson did not work hard to create something unique as Zeus: Thunder Reels doesn’t offer anything new. Much of the activity on this slot revolves around the Reels feature.
Conclusion
The slot uses a rather common concept, and you may get bored along the way.
With a medium to high volatility, combined with a somewhat weak maximum win, and below-average RTP, Zeus: Thunder Reels doesn’t look like a game with decent potential.
I can only recommend this title to casual players.
Solar Temple Slot (Playson)
Playson is back to South America and this time, they have a new slot titled, Solar Temple. This developer has been here before, and they already have a similar game that is titled the Solar Queen.
Playson is known for its generosity and the developer has some of the best payouts in the market.
Solar Temple comes to you on 5 reels, and a total of the 20 pay lines. It is possible to walk away with winnings of up to 20,000x the stake.
Solar Temple is a medium-high volatility game, but I’m not impressed with Playson’s decision to offer an RTP of 95.22% for this slot, which is way below what we see in most modern slots.
For the features, I got to work with some free spins (have sticky wilds), wild symbols, multipliers, as well as some Flaming Frames.
Betting and Prizes
Betting on Solar Temple is fair, and it starts from a low of $0.20 to a high of $100 per spin.
Solar Temple’s jackpot can go to as much as 20,000x the stake, but to get here, you will require the assistance of the multipliers (Flaming Frames).
Solar Temple Slot Features
One special thing that I have noticed with Solar Temple is the way it quickly moves into action. This happens in blocks of 10 spins.
You start by spinning the first 9 times. This you do to get as many Sun icons as possible, on the slot’s reels.
Where these icons land, they will be surrounded by fire, and this is what will bring about the Flaming Frames.
The 10nth round offers you the opportunity to turn all of them into wilds. This is the slot’s most profitable spin since you will have the assistance of multiple wilds, which have a better chance of forming winning combinations.
To get the slot’s multipliers (can be up to10x); you will need to land the Sun icons in the same position, and this can be multiple times. This is how you increase the multiplier.
To get to the game’s free spins, you will need the assistance of the pyramid scatters, which you must land on three reels. 10 free spins get the Sun icons to turn into wilds, and afterwards, they become sticky.
Theme & Design
Solar Temple has an Aztec theme which is fairly common, but Playson has tried to keep the slot game interesting.
Playson Slots
The slot’s action is set up in a jungle, and this is a place where a player can still hope to find Aztec treasures.
There are many symbols here, and they include scatters (pyramid), wild, the Solar Queen, coloured masks (gold or red), four high-value animal symbols, as well as the usual Royals.
Conclusion
Playson New Slots
Playson is known for creating slot games with high volatility, and Solar Temple is no exception.
The slot game has the potential to award high payouts, but if you are just a casual player, you may want to stay away from this slot game that is more suitable for veteran players.
