ZeusPlay products
The catalogue is built mainly on slots: classic fruit slots, multi-line slots with bonus features and 3D slots. Some games have Dice versions with dice instead of symbols, and in its new releases the studio uses Hold & Win, cash symbol collection and wilds with multipliers. The studio makes all its games in-house, from concept to sound.
The second area is lottery software: Balkan Keno v.2, Lucky Picks and Lucky Spins. These games suit both online casinos and land-based venues. The studio has no live casino with dealers.
ZeusPlay develops its game maths together with the Department of Applied Informatics at the University of Macedonia. A jointly developed tool helps calculate the distribution of symbols and payouts in advance to achieve the target RTP and volatility.

The RTP is 95%, and volatility is medium.
Giga Beer Bears is a festive Oktoberfest-style slot with bears and beer steins. Scatters award 6 free spins in which reels two to four merge into one big GIGA reel with giant symbols. The RTP is 95%, and volatility is medium-low, making it the calmest of the three games.
