Landing 5 OAK clusters rewards you with 0.1x to 1x while landing 13+ matching symbols rewards you with 15x to 100x. You can also land wilds which are glowing W. 

Bonus Features

Win to win

When a winning combination lands, the squares located behind the winning symbols are highlighted. The highlighted squares become Divine Squares, activated when a hand of Zeus lands after a win is completed. 

The activated Divine Squares reveal three coins which are bronze, silver and gold. Additionally, you get the chance to display the Vessel of Wealth or Zap of Zeus. 

The Coins pay as multipliers in the following ways:

• Bronze pays 0.2x to 4x

• Silver pays 5x to 20x

• Gold pays 25x to 500x

Once all symbols are revealed, any Zap of Zeus symbols activate. By activating, they multiply all Coins or Vessel of Wealth symbols on adjacent squares by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x. 

To activate Vessel of Wealth symbols, all Coins must be revealed and Zap of Zeus symbols activated. All other Divine Squares activate again to reveal new symbols when the last Vessel of Wealth on the current grid activates.
