Wisdom of Athena

Athena, the Greek goddess, was revered for her wisdom and strategy in battle. In her wisdom, the Greek goddess is out to give you hefty wins if you can spin the reels and land the right symbols. Athena is known for her power to influence outcomes in a war for her incisive quips that, while cryptic, would be the difference between victory and loss. Are you a fan of sweeps slots? You are lucky then, as Wisdom of Athena is available for US players in sweepstakes casinos.

She is most famous for helping Perseus, a son of Zeus, slay Medusa. Trust your hunch, show your bravery and ingenuity, and the goddess of warfare may just reward you with the big win you seek.

Smart Plays and Big Rewards

Wisdom of Athena is a slot with a massive 6 reels and 5 rows. This is matched with an equally exciting way to forge wins as the game is fitted with a cluster pays system that pays in clusters of 8 or more. Furthermore, the game provides a high volatility and a relatively generous RTP of 96.07%.

In this slot, Pragmatic Play brings back the ante bet feature missing from many of their recent releases. Among the bonus features you can expect are multiplier symbols, free spins, and the bonus buy feature that players have come to like.

Gameplay and Mechanics

Pragmatic Play got a lot of things right with this slot, and simple gameplay is top among the things you will like. As you might expect, the game provider keeps the control panel placed at the bottom of the reels.

A large spin button is placed at the far right of the control panel, and below it is the auto-play button. With auto-play, you can keep the reels spinning up to 1,000 times.

This section also lets you choose turbo spins. Set your bet by clicking the (+) and (-) buttons. Click on any of these, and a pop-up menu lets you change your bet. Choose a coin value and bet lines to alter your bet as you please. The minimum bet is 0.20 Sweepstakes Coins, with the maximum being 100 SC.

To access the game’s settings, you must click the hamburger menu icon, which gives you access to settings such as battery saver for mobile players. Turn quick spins, ambient music, sounds, and FX on and off on this menu. You can also change your bet from the settings menu.

Symbols and Payouts

That the game is based on the Greek goddess Athena means that you encounter a lot of items associated with her and her legend on the symbols. You can learn about the paytable, bonus rules, and general game rules when you click on the information button denoted by an “I”. We liked that Pragmatic Play kept this excellently put-together slot unique by steering clear of face card symbols.

You have 4 high-paying symbols and 5 low-paying ones. The first of the high-paying symbols is Athena’s golden shield which pays out 50 Sweeps Coins for clusters of 15 symbols and more.

A soldier’s helmet is the second of the high-paying symbols, with a payout of 25 SC for clusters of 15 symbols and more. Get the golden chalice to cluster in one part of the slot, and you get a payout of 15 Sweep Coins for 15 symbols and more.

Athena’s scroll with golden handles pays 10 Sweep Coins for clusters of 15 symbols and more. The low-paying symbols are gamified icons that represent different facets of Athena’s abilities. These have payouts of between 7.50 SC and 2.50 SC for clusters of 15 symbols and more.

Bonus Features and Special Symbols

Bonus features add a zest to the base game that keeps you excited to keep spinning the reels. Wisdom of Athena packs a mean punch if we are talking bonus features. You have special symbols and a bonus round to get your winnings up:

Tumble Feature

The tumble feature accompanies cluster pays so that new symbols fall from the top of the reels when winning symbols disappear. Tumbles keep coming as long as symbols match and produce wins. Tumble runs stop when there are no more winning combinations on the reels.

In this game, tumbles come with a hidden feature. Tumbles have the potential to unlock a row of hidden reels that appear from left to right. The reels stay on until the end of the tumble sequence. Hidden reels unlock starting from the first tumble. They are triggered up to the 15th tumble, which reveals the 6th hidden reel.

Multiplier Symbols

The game comes with multiplier symbols. These appear on all reels and will hit randomly as you spin the reels for both the free spins round and the base game. Random multipliers start at 2x and go up to 500x. The value of multipliers is added at the end of tumbles.

Free Spins

Free Spins Bonus Round Interface – Wisdom of Athena 

Athena is the game’s scatter symbol, leading you to the free spins round. These hit anywhere on the reels; you need 4 or more to trigger free spins. Start with a batch of 10 and unlock hidden reels atop the normal grid.

Multipliers that hit during the free spins round payout all through the round until your free spins end. Get 3 or more scatters on the reels, and you get 5 more free spins to keep the round going.

Ante Bet

The ante bet is a feature that multiplies your bet. Choose the 25x bet multiplier, and you have a higher chance of landing the free spins round.

Buy Free Spins

You don’t have to wait to get to the free spins round, not with the bonus buy feature. Trigger the free spins round instantly when you pay 100x your current wager to buy the round.

This guarantees 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols on your next spin. These instantly give you free spins to enjoy this exhilarating round.

Design and Graphics

Landing Slot Design Wisdom of Athena 

The graphics and sound of the game are breathtaking. The reels are set in the courtyard of Mount Olympus. The banners sway around, and the Greek-style Doric pillars look immaculate. Athena stands beside the reels, her cape flowing in the wind.

She strikes the reels with lighting when you hit the scatter to enter the free spins round. The music on the slot is just apt for the kind of theme the game provider goes with.

Conclusion

Wisdom of Athena gives players a mix of two of the best slot features. For one, the slot takes on Greek mythology and does a great job of representing the goddess Athena. You also get the cluster pays system, which gives bigger and more frequent wins.

This is coupled with high RTP and volatility, which means you get high-paying wins. We liked that the graphics did justice to the theme and matched well with the music.

There are also other features to be excited about like the multipliers going as high as 5,000x. Players who enjoy the game will find these features quite interesting as the base game progresses. Try out the game with Gold Coins and get a feel of all the features before you wager your sweet Sweeps Coins for the chance to win real money.
