Zentaurus Slot Machine
The creatures from Greek mythology were known as savage beasts
with an upper body of a human extending 🍇 into a lower body of a horse. These mighty
centaurs are unleashed on the reels of this slot addition to 🍇 the Colossal Payouts™
series by Merkur Gaming, doubling as wild symbols and win multipliers.
Merkur Gaming is
one of the veterans 🍇 in the entertainment industry, having celebrated its 60th
anniversary in 2024. Throughout its history, the developer remained at the forefront 🍇 of
producing innovative gaming concepts – initially for brick-and-mortar casinos and in
the past decade for online gaming. Merkur Gaming 🍇 slots are known for their high
volatility with massive win potential. Games such as Eye of Horus or 221B Baker 🍇 Street
have achieved legendary status among the slot-playing community.
The Beast in Numbers
and Stats
Merkur is yet another provider that hides 🍇 the potential of its games behind
rather simplistic yet modern designs. That should not fool anyone, as the high variance
🍇 of these games is not for the faint-hearted. Plus, crisp graphics and seamless
animations underscore the high quality of Merkur 🍇 games.
Zentaurus fits exactly into the
above category, with a Greek-themed game window and sky-high line pays for a five of 🍇 a
kind. Those brave enough to take the game for a spin will do so on five reels, three
rows, 🍇 and 20 fixed paylines. A generous RTP of 95.96% will ensure that balances do not
vanish at high speed. Bet 🍇 sizes starting at 0.20 credits will be welcomed by low
rollers, while the maximum 40 credits keep the risk in 🍇 check.
All low-value pay symbols
from 9 through to A can appear semi-stacked on any spin. Medium-paying symbols do not
appear 🍇 stacked and comprise a Greek fruit basket, an ancient amphora, a harp, and a
tile with a mountain scene. The 🍇 top and wild symbol is Zentaurus himself, appearing in
different sizes covering one- to three-reel positions. Pays for a single 🍇 five of a kind
start at 4x the bet and peak at a staggering 5,000x your stake. Scatters are an 🍇 ancient
gold coin, with a minimum of three required to trigger the free spins. Merkur has
limited the maximum win 🍇 from one spin or bonus round to 250,000 coins or 10,000x your
stake, whichever value is reached first.
Wild Win Multipliers 🍇 and Colossal
Payouts™
Watch in awe as a seemingly smallish win transforms into a big or even mega
win when combined 🍇 with wild symbols. Any winning combination with a minimum of one wild
symbol will be sweetened with an increasing multiplier. 🍇 One wild symbol applies a x2
multiplier, two wilds will see that growing to x4, while three increase the number 🍇 to
x8. The top multiplier is x16 and this is achieved when four wild symbols complete a
winning combo.
Taking the 🍇 highest character symbol, which normally pays 200x your stake
for five of a kind, will see the win go up 🍇 to 400x the stake, all the way to a massive
3,200x the stake. Even the lowest-paying symbol will deliver big 🍇 wins from 8x to 64x
your bet.
Free Spins With a Streak
Experience a bonus round with a twist on Zentaurus
when 🍇 at least three scatters land anywhere on the reels in one spin. 10 free spins are
awarded, which can be 🍇 indefinitely retriggered. While there are no extra multipliers
awarded during the feature, there’s a surprising feature which could make a 🍇 big
difference to the result of the bonus round.
This is the Streak feature, which is
triggered on every free spin 🍇 when a winning combo lands on the reels. The symbols from
the combo are locked in place and the game 🍇 starts a respin. Any further occurrences
will also be locked and another respin is awarded until no further matching symbols
🍇 land on the reels. Wins are then evaluated and paid accordingly. This can potentially
lead to big multi-line wins. At 🍇 the end of each Streak, the symbols are unlocked for
the next free spin.
More Greek Mythology
The Greek mythology theme has 🍇 proven very
popular with gaming enthusiasts, subsequently finding its way onto countless slot
reels. Virtually every game provider has at 🍇 least one such slot in their portfolio. So
play with the gods on their mighty reels in Zeus III and 🍇 Zeus 1000 from WMS, or go for
jackpots that are out of this world in Divine Fortune from NetEnt. Want 🍇 to see
super-expanding reels? Then try Hercules High & Mighty from Barcrest.
Want even higher
multipliers? Sure, why not? Give 300 🍇 Shields from NextGen Gaming a spin to experience a
massive x300 win multiplier on the final level of the free 🍇 spins round. Or go for the
quirky Donuts slot from Big Time Gaming, where a separate reel set will award
🍇 multipliers for the bonus round, occasionally going well over x100.
An Ordinary Final
Verdict
This slot sees us, ordinary mortals, against the 🍇 gods and their beastly
creatures. That just about sums up Zentaurus from Merkur Gaming. It will be a mighty
challenge 🍇 to spin the reels on this high-variance game, but the rewards can be
heavenly. Hitting several multiplier wilds or the 🍇 top pay for five-of-a-kind Zentaurus
symbols will be an exhilarating moment time and again. Please keep in mind the high
🍇 volatility of this slot, though, as while it can reward handsomely, on occasion it can
also quickly drain your balance.
