Athena’s core beliefs are centered around wisdom, warfare and handicraft, and to master all three of those, you need money. Wisdom to balance your budget, and then from that budget, you can fund your war or your latest project you wish to craft. Or, in our case, toss it at a slot machine and hope we hit a lucky break. The coin denomination goes from $0.02 up to $1, while the bet itself goes from $0.20 up to $10 per spin, which should appease gamblers from all walks of life, from casual ones to high rollers.

Among the list of game icons, you will find vases, spears, helmets, a beautiful tree, a temple to Athena and a priestess. In addition to these unique symbols, you will also find playing card icons like J, Q, K and A, although this time around, they have been stylized in the fashion of the Greek alphabet to make them seem more fitting. Finally, the golden owl acts as both Wild and Scatter.

Collecting three or more of the Scatter will reward in a cash prize and some free spins. For three, four or five Scatters, you will be rewarded with 8 free spins and a 2x cash prize, 12 free spins and a 20x cash prize and 20 free spins and a 200x cash prize, respectively. It is possible to retrigger the feature.

During the extra turns, a special symbol is randomly selected, and bonus wins are rewarded for it. In addition, if there are enough of the special icons, it will begin to expand to cover the whole reel.

A feature so far unique to this particular slot is the ability to literally buy your way into the free spins. There is a cash amount visible before you press buy, and the game will ask you if you’re willing to pay it – in doing so, you guarantee 20 free spins, with no cash prize.
