Free slot: Rise of Athena

How Rise of Athena works

Rise of Athena is a recent slot machine in online casinos. It has been published since November 2020 by the gaming provider Play'n GO. After Rise of Olympus in homage to the Gods of Olympus, the provider declined the theme of Greek mythology by highlighting the goddess of wisdom Athena, daughter of Zeus.

In the decor of a Greek temple, we find a classic reel operation with 5 reels of 3 rows and 10 paylines. The reels are triggered and show different symbols. The payout rate to players of Rise of Athena is 96.20% and it can be described as a machine with medium volatility with a payout of up to 5,000 times its bet.

The different symbols of Rise of Athena

12 different symbols can appear on the grid:

• the coin as WILD: it appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and replaces any symbol except the Scatter. The WILD comes with a x1, x2 or x3 multiplier. Multipliers add up if multiple WILDs are present on a payline (up to a maximum of x27).

• the owl as a Scatter (pays x500 for 5 identical symbols): the most rewarding symbol, it appears anywhere on the reels and triggers the free spins bonus function when at least 3 of them are combined.

• the goddess Athena (pays x150 for 5 identical symbols).

• the winged horse Pegasus (pays x30 for 5 identical symbols).

• the helmet (pays x20 for 5 identical symbols).

• the amphora (pays x15 for 5 identical symbols).

• the parchment (pays x10 for 5 identical symbols).

• the classic symbols A, K, Q, J, 10 decorated with olive branches (pay x2 to x6 for 5 identical symbols).

The different connections in Rise of Athena

Some connections are possible on Rise of Athena. Indeed, there are 10 payment lines that you can find on the image below. Whether they are lines, diagonals or simple hits, there are many ways to win. You need to line up between 2 and 5 symbols from left to right to win, except for Scatter symbols which pay anywhere.

How the Rise of Athena bonus works

When at least 3 Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, the free spins bonus function is triggered. 12 free spins are awarded. The resulting WILDs remain sticky and their multipliers are reduced by 1 for each spin. The WILD disappears when it no longer houses a multiplier. The Scatter symbol is missing from this free spin bonus function, which cannot be triggered again.

Our opinion about Rise of Athena

Simple and effective, Rise of Athena stands out from its big brother Rise of Olympus. Here there are few features, but the most classic operation with a bonus of free spins. As usual, the game provider Play'n GO has taken care of the details of the graphics and added an element to spice things up a bit: the WILD with multiplier. Of average volatility, this video slot will offer you nice gains in base game as well as in free spins. The luckiest ones can even win up to 5,000 times their bet on this brand new and pleasant machine from online casinos.
