What kind of game is Athena Ascending?

This is the sequel to Rise of Athena, a popular 2020 title. It tells the story of Athena, goddess of war and guardian of the city, rising through wisdom and courage to become the strongest among the Greek gods. This Play’n GO slot, loved for Greek mythology slots like Rise of Olympus, offers a fresh take on multiplier wilds.

How often do wilds appear?

According to the official description, wilds appear about once every three spins. With wilds showing up this often, the base game keeps giving steady chances to win, and in the free spins the wilds become the heart of the game. There is always a reason to look forward to each wild. A single wild can shape the whole flow of the free spins.

How long do the free spins last?

Free spins start when 3 owl scatters land. These free spins use a distinctive format that keeps going as long as wilds remain on the reels. Instead of a fixed number of spins, the presence of wilds decides how long the round lasts, so you find yourself hoping the wilds don’t disappear on every spin. As long as the wilds keep coming, the round can go on seemingly forever.

How do multiplier wilds get stronger?

This game puts a fresh spin on multiplier wilds. During free spins, each wild grows stronger with every spin and its multiplier rises. In the previous game, winning combinations could be multiplied up to x27, but in Athena Ascending that value climbs to x64, so you can aim for much bigger wins. If you played the previous game, you’ll notice the difference right away.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 94.2% and max win is 10,000x. There is no official volatility figure, so get a feel for it in the demo. Try tracking whether wilds really show up about once every three spins, how many spins the free spins last thanks to wilds, and how close the multiplier gets to x64, and you’ll see what makes this game appealing.
