Play'n Go's Athena Ascending slot machine features 20 win ways on 5x3 reels and is based on the mythology of the goddess of wisdom. On the middle three reels, multiplier wilds up to x4 can appear and multiply together for multipliers of up to x64. The bonus round's wild multipliers go up to x4 until they disappear, and the top prize is 10,000 times your wager.
Two bonus bonuses are available on the Athena Ascending slot machine. Multiplier Wilds are present and can combine up to 64 times. Multiplier Wilds are sticky and grow by 1 with each additional free spin, up to a maximum of 4x, in the Free Spins feature. Re-spins continue after you exhaust your free spins until no more wild symbols show up on the reels.
You can find Wild symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4, while the premium symbols pay out between 2 and 50 times your wager for 5 of a kind winnings. The multipliers on the wilds range from x1 to x4, and they will increase any wins they contribute to. The win multipliers are compounded together for increases up to x64 if multiple wilds contribute to a single line win.
You only need three, four, or five of the owl scatter symbols in view to start the bonus round. In addition to receiving an upfront scatter payment for 1x, 20x, or 500x your stake, you also receive 5 free spins regardless of the number of scatters that trigger them. In the bonus round, wild symbols behave somewhat stickyly since they are stuck in place until the multiplier hits x4.
Per free spin, the sticky wild multiplier rises by one, and the wild leaves the grid when it reaches a multiplier of four. The good news is that the bonus round will continue with re-spins until all wilds have dropped if sticky wilds are present on the fifth and final free spin. While scatters cannot land during the feature, this is the only option to receive additional spins.
