Independent game developer Thunderkick has recently introduced a new online slot game titled “Ways of Athena,” which is inspired by Greek mythology. This latest addition to their portfolio features a 3×5 reel layout and offers players up to 43,923 ways to win.
Historical warfare
In this game, players will encounter symbols related to Greek mythology, such as helmets, shields, amphoras, and lyres, all set against a backdrop that celebrates the goddess of wisdom and warfare, Athena. One of the key features of the game is the mystery symbols that can appear on reels two to five. These mystery symbols can transform into double symbols and mirror an icon on reel one, thereby increasing the number of pay ways and potentially boosting winnings for players.
Bonus round
To activate the bonus round in “Ways of Athena,” players need to land three scatter symbols, which will reward them with an initial eight free spins. Additional scatters appearing during the bonus round will grant players two extra spins each. Moreover, if mystery symbols align with a scatter symbol on reel one, they will also transform into double symbols, offering players the chance to earn up to 44 free spins in total.
During the bonus feature, players can collect mystery orbs that accumulate in a meter below the reel grid. For every five orbs collected, the number of pay ways associated with mystery symbols increases up to five, and players receive two additional spins. This accumulation mechanic opens up the possibility of achieving maximum wins of up to 25,000x the initial stake.
“Ways of Athena” joins Thunderkick’s extensive selection of top-tier games, which includes other mythological titles like “Sword of Khans,” “Odin’s Gamble,” and “Midas Golden Touch 1 and 2.” By adding this new game to their lineup, Thunderkick continues to expand its range of slots titles for online casino players.
Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said:
Ways of Athena introduces matching mystery symbols which split two, three, or five ways, increasing the number of total pay ways up to a maximum of 43,923.
This not only generates bigger wins but also provides the opportunity to trigger up to 44 free spins, enriching the player experience.”
This exciting concept, coupled with the popular Greek mythology theme and crisp visuals, delivers engaging gameplay that further strengthens Thunderkick’s offering on behalf of our global operator partners.”
