About Game

Athena is The Ancient Greek goddess of craft as well as war and wisdom, will be featured in a new online slot game by the software company Play'n GO bearing the title of Athena Ascending. It is a sequel to the earlier game Rise of Athena, if your initial thoughts were I think it's a similar name, same game and similar gameplay, you'd be able to be right. The two slots are identical in appearance as well as atmosphere and gameplay. While much of the gameplay is similar however, a few elements have been rearranged to increase the potential reward/volatility percentage.

The landscape has changed little, but you can see by looking around that both games are linked. Instead of being an ancient temple in the clouds the scenery feels more grounded this time. A game grid that's partially transparent offers a temple-like backdrop with smokey braziers, well-maintained shrubs and a cloudy sky. If you have a little imagination, players can imagine themselves standing at the highest point of the Acropolis nearing the entrance to the Parthenon that was an ancient temple dedicated to Athena in the 5th century BC. Similar to the previous game, Athena Ascending has a clean-lined airy, light-hearted feel with this one enhanced by a dramatic , soaring vocal score.

In the case where Rise of Athena had a moderately volatile math model, Athena Ascending amps this model up, putting it in the 'high' category which is 7 /10. The RTP is, like when playing Play'n GO, is variable and reaches 96.2 percent before dropping into a range of lower settings, based on the current market. A simple game to set up, Athena Ascending is played on a 3-row, 5-reel matrix that has 20 paylines to land profitable combinations. Playable on any device players can select stakes that are budget-friendly, ranging from 5 p/c to up to PS/EUR100 per spin.

There isn't much change in terms of appearance when it comes to the pay symbols that are common to all but the line-win values have been reduced. For the lowest pay you can find 10-A cards royals that are created in a similar SPQR-style and the highest paying symbols include a scroll, urn or helmet Pegasus and Athena. Each pay out for three to five symbols and a chance to land two Athena symbols could result in an award too. For value, a low-paying symbols winning is worth 1x the stake, while five of the top payouts will pay up to 50x the stake.

After rising through the ranks of the Greek Gods, Athena has finally established her namesake. Standing as one of Olympus’ most powerful, Athena casts her powers, good fortune and good faith to only the worthiest in the realm. This is the second thrilling chapter of Athena’s story. It’s in your hands to change the course of the Olympian dynasty.  Are you worthy? There’s only one way to find out…  

Features

This is a new Wild Greek Mythology adventure...  Land three Owl Scatters to trigger the Free Spins round, and watch the Free Spins continue so long as a Wild is present on the reels.   Speaking of Wilds, they appear in one out of every three Spins, upping the potential.  The game features a new take on the Multiplier Wilds which ascend during the Free Spins. This means each Wild gets stronger on each Free Spin, creating more dynamic gameplay and potential.  

From the original game where winning combinations had the potential to be multiplied up to x27, Athena Ascending sees this rise to x64, creating even more potential. Similar to the previous game Athena Ascending's features don't seem very complex and focus on the wild multiplier, spins in which wilds can be semi-sticky, as well as an element of residual respins.

Wilds

Wilds appear on reels 2 3 or 4 and pay out a winning multiplier that is x1, or x4 that can be applied to every win they are part of. In the event that more than one Wild is involved during a winning combination the multiplier's values are multiplied until an maximum value of 64.

Free Spins

The owl associated with Athena is the game's scatter symbol. Landing 3, 4, or 5 owl scatters awards 5 free spins plus a payout of 1x, 20x, or 500x the bet, respectively. In free spins, wild symbols stick to the reels when they hit until their multiplier reaches x4. How it works is that on each following free spin, sticky wilds have their multiplier value increased by 1. When it reaches x4, it falls off the grid for the next spin. When free spins end, if any sticky wilds are in view, respins are awarded until no wild remains on the grid. Scatter symbols are not present on the reels during the feature, so they cannot be retriggered.
