Athena In Online Video Slots

 

In Greek mythology Athena is the goddess of wisdom, handicraft and war. Her origin is equally unusual. She was born from the head of Zeus. There are two fabulous video slots that feature Athena.

Playtech has a video slot titled Goddess of Wisdom, which is from the popular Age of the Gods series. The wild symbol is Athena in full battle regalia. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. The scatter symbol is the white owl, which is her constant companion and represents the wisdom aspect of the goddess. The high paying symbols include Athena’s shield, Aegis her breastplate, her helmet, the sandals of Nike the goddess of victory and the olive that she gifted to her city of Athens. The low playing symbols are the usual playing card icons. In the Battle Game bonus feature you choose a set of free spins associated with one of three high paying symbols. In any of the free spins set, Athena becomes an expanding wild symbol lands. The chosen high paying symbol will replace the other two symbols during the free spins. Goddess of Wisdom is networked to the Age of the Gods series four-tier progressive jackpot network. The bonus game is triggered randomly. The screen displays 20 coins in a grid that hide the four jackpot symbols. You keep picking coins and as soon as you reveal three matching symbols of any jackpot tier you win that jackpot.

Betsoft has released a slot game titled The Golden Owl of Athena. The owl, which is the keeper of sacred knowledge, is both the wild and the scatter symbol. The high paying symbols are Athena, her temple, tree of knowledge, helmet and spear and the Grecian urn. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons. The scatter symbol triggers up to 20 free spins, depending on the number of scatters in the triggering spin. During the free spins one of the symbols will be randomly selected to award bonus wins. These symbols may expand on the reels to give bigger bonus wins. Betsoft has given players an option to buy the bonus feature. The price to be paid for this will be indicated on the screen. You will get the maximum 20 free spins whenever the feature us triggered irrespective of the number of scatter symbols. If you are lucky to get one of the higher paying symbols as the special symbol then you are more likely to recover the cost. The Golden Owl of Athena includes the standard optional Double Up feature.
