Athens MegaWays Slot Review

Athens Megaways specificaties

As a long term slots player I liked how Athens Megaways sets out its stall straight away. Red Tiger gives you six dynamic reels with two to seven symbols each and up to 117,649 ways to win using the Megaways engine. Stakes start from 0.10 a spin, the RTP sits at 95.68 percent and volatility feels medium to high, with a headline win of 19,992 times your stake on the table.

Hoe werkt Athens Megaways?

The grid in Athens Megaways holds six reels that can show between two and seven symbols, so every spin produces a fresh number of ways to win. Payouts start with Greek letters Delta, Theta, Sigma, Psi and Omega that give around 0.4 to 0.8 times your bet for six of a kind. Premiums are classic artefacts such as the harp, amphora, drinking horn, shield and helmet paying up to three times.

Athens Megaways pays for three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left, and winning icons are removed so new ones tumble down. That cascading mechanic can string together several hits from a single paid spin. There is no plain wild symbol on the reels, which I actually like, because wilds arrive in more dramatic fashion through the god modifiers rather than just sitting there all the time.

Drie features tijdens het basisspel Athens Megaways

The base game in Athens Megaways never felt flat to me because the three god modifiers keep kicking in. On any spin Zeus, Hades or Poseidon can step up before the reels settle and change the whole feel of the round. Only one modifier lands per spin, yet even that is enough to shift the maths for a moment and push the Megaways engine into far more energetic mode.

Soul Pit is tied to Hades and lit up quite a few of my sessions. Ghostly shapes rise from below the reels and leave between two and nine Soul Wilds scattered over the four centre reels. When you already have good Megaways these wilds can link hard to reach symbols and create wins that would have missed otherwise, especially when cascades line up one after another.

Sea Fury belongs to Poseidon and drops up to three full reel Steed Wilds on the middle reels, each carrying a multiplier between two and seven. When more than one lands the multipliers multiply each other, so you can hit silly totals from quite ordinary symbol combinations. Zeus rounds things off with Olympus Blessing, a random win multiplier that starts between two and five then rises by one with each cascade to a cap of twenty.

Gratis Spins bonusspel Athens Megaways

Free spins in Athens Megaways arrive when three Parthenon scatters land within the same cascading sequence, which then awards eight spins. Before the bonus starts you pick one of three temples and that choice fixes which modifier is active for the feature, either Soul Pit, Sea Fury or Olympus Blessing. The chosen god shows up far more often than in the base game, and every extra scatter gives one extra free spin.

Athens Megaways free spins also run with a progressive win multiplier that begins at one and climbs by one after every cascading win, up to a maximum of twenty. The multiplier never resets during the bonus so late spins can feel very spicy, especially if you paired the feature with Olympus Blessing and its extra multipliers. That is where the slot can reach the theoretical win of 19,992 times stake, though such hits are scarce.

Wat vinden wij van de Athens Megaways Gokkast?

I came away from Athens Megaways fairly impressed, even though it will not rewrite the Megaways playbook. The ancient Athens backdrop with its Parthenon skyline looks sharp, the soundtrack fits and the god animations give the slot some personality. The capped x20 multiplier and 95.68 percent RTP hold it back a little, and I always check for lower RTP settings, yet the 19,992 times potential keeps me coming back.
