Have you ever been to the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens, Wombat fans? It’s pretty impressive, and it’s dedicated to the star of this next game: the patron and protectress of the city of Athens and an all round superhero of the ancients.
We are talking about the Legend of Athena Megaways slot, from Red Tiger Gaming’s studio, which is a good looking game with five reels and ten pay-lines.
We do love an Ancient Greek game (Amazing Link Apollo is another good one).
Here’s an early tip for you: watch out for her spears. They are wild and can appear anywhere on the reels, awarding you with a multiplier of x3.
Graphics
Legend of Athena is all about a military contest (Athena was always getting caught up in these) and includes fighting helmets, harps, amphora’s, horns, and the Goddess Athena, who stands tall, watching over the battles.
The helmets pay out a tasty x2000 for five-of-a-kind. Five-of-a-kind Harps pay x600, five vases x360, and five horns x240. it all reminds me of Arena of Gods: Rise of Medusa which is another Ancient Greek game worth a spin.
So some big base game pay-outs in other words. She’s a generous goddess, that Athena! Even the lowest paying symbol pays out higher than the average game with x48 your bet for five-of-a-kind of the 10 symbol.
The game has a respectable top prize of 6549x of your bet amount. That’s not the level that you will see on high variance games like the Folsom Prison slot, but it is pretty solid.
Gameplay
The Legend of Athena Megaways’ minimum spin size is 0.10, and the maximum you can spin with is 20.00.
The RTP comes in at 95.8%, but be careful, as this game has exceptionally high volatility. Click on the info button at the bottom of the game to reveal all the essential details on the game, from the make up of the winning pay-lines combinations to any other slot information.
Bonus Features
Legend of Athena Megaways Wilds
The Athena symbol, the goddess with a shield and a sword, means things are getting serious. Athena will act as a substitute for any other symbol when she makes an appearance on the reels.
The wild sign increases the value of the winning combination by a multiplier of three. The wild symbol, however, will not stand in for the scatter symbol which is required to activate the free spins.
Legend of Athena Battle Spins
You need three scatter symbols to trigger the Legend of Athena Free Spins. The scatter symbols come in the form of a shield and swords and instantly reward you with the Battle Free Spins bonus.
This scatter symbol only lands on the first reel, the middle reel, and the last reel. When they appear, you will get twelve free spins, with x3 multiplier boost for all winning spins.
The great thing about this is that a regular wild multiplier can still land. With the two wilds added, the winning combination can get a 9x multiplier boost, so you can see how you could start racking up some pretty hefty wins.
For extra free spins, any scatter that lands during the bonus round will have a +3 symbol, and it will award you an additional three free spins.
Summary
If you are ready to explore the Legend of Athena, we think you will love this Red Tiger Gaming slot.
We love the simplicity of the bonus features and the game layout and this game still delivers exciting and engaging gameplay. It’s a high quality slot, with a design and graphics of a standard that we have come to expect from Red Tiger.
Exquisite marble-decorated reels with unusual symbols in all sorts of tones and colours. The top cash prize of 6549x is the big draw, of course, but those x3 re-triggers in the bonus are proving popular with players.
