Rise of Athena

Step back in time to marvel at the Parthenon in Ancient Greece with none other than the goddess of wisdom and warfare. Rise of Athena is dedicated to the Greek deity while giving players the chance to collect some cash prizes too. Land the maximum combination, and there's the potential to win up to x5000.

The beauty and elegance of ancient Greece make it a popular destination with slot studios. There are many popular games such as Rise of Olympus, Zeus and Parthenon: Quest for Immortality. There are even previous titles dedicated to Athena herself, including Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena, and Legend of Athena.

Rise of Athena is played on a 5x3 board and includes ten traditional paylines. Play can start from just 0.10 total bet per spin, and increase up to 100.00 max bet. The volatility is medium, which means that if all goes as expected, there should be a fairly regular stream of average-sized prizes to hope for.

Many ancient Greek slots rely on the stereotypical blue skies and majestic pillars - and that's what you'll find here. But that's no bad thing; the cream and gold of the Parthenon are depicted beautifully, instantly transporting players back to Athena's era.

The low pays are the playing card royals, but given an ancient Greece twist by being carved out of marble and decorated with fig leaves. The premium symbols include smoking urns, a scroll, plumed helmets, Pegasus and Athena herself.

The Greek coins that you might spot on the board are wilds, and can substitute for any of the regular symbols. But these wilds offer a little more than the average; they also contain a multiplier of x1 to x3. If more than one wild is present along a payline, they multiply each other, making an even bigger win.

The owl is strongly associated with Athena, and is often considered to be the source of her immeasurable wisdom. Perhaps not a surprise then to discover the scatter in this game is a beautiful white owl!

Land three of the scatters simultaneously, and the free spins bonus round will unlock, giving players a generous 12 free spins. During the bonus round, wilds will be sticky until the multiplier runs out. Every spin reduces their value by x1 until they reduce to zero and spin off the board. This simple mechanism provides the potential to win the top prize of x5000.

Rise of Athena from Play'n GO is a very simple slot with not much in the way of features or extras. However, a wild multiplier and free spins add extra potential. A very polished game which is simple to play will be a big hit with players of all types, even if it's not offering anything that's especially unique.
