Pragmatic Play’s “Greek Gods” series is home to mythological smash-hit, including Zeus vs. Hades – Gods of War, Gates of Olympus 1000, Bow of Artemis and Wisdom of Athena. Athena is the latest game to get the upgraded “1000” treatment.
You can solicit her divine wisdom at Pulsz Casino, McLuck Social Casino, WOW Vegas, Fortune Coins, and other social casinos that partner up with Pragmatic Play. We took this machine for an intense test drive at Pulsz and found that we could play using Gold Coins and/or Sweeps Coins.
Gold Coins are used for entertainment’s sake but Sweeps Coins are redeemable for real prizes. Luckily, Pulsz gives all new sign-ups 7,500 GC and 2.3 free SC to start playing games instantly.
How Does Wisdom of Athena Work?
Wisdom of Athena is just one of more than 500 popular slots released by Pragmatic Play, one of the sweepstakes industry’s most reputable software companies. They’ve spent nearly a decade turning their platform into a household name among long-time sweepstakes gaming enthusiasts.
Basic Layout & Volatility
Wisdom of Athena features a top prize of 5,000,000 GC with minimum and maximum spin limits of 50 GC and 500,000 GC, respectively. Sweepstakes participants could win up to 500,000 SC if they earn the Grand prize. Play limits are very flexible, starting at 0.2 SC and ending at 50 SC.
During the base game, Wisdom of Athena has an estimated return-to-player (RTP) percentage of 94.05%. During bonus spin rounds, the machine’s RTP drops ever so slightly to just 94.01%.
This game features a higher-than-usual volatility, meaning that wins are less frequent but more sizable. All the action occurs on a 6-reel, 5-row grid with maximum multipliers reaching 10,000x.
Combinations work vertically, horizontally, and diagonally starting from eight matching symbols.
The most valuable symbol is the shield, but you’ll see other symbols including helmets, scrolls, lamps, swords, and two-wheeled carts.
Landing 8-9 matching shields gets you 5x the play value. Combining 10-11 shields results in a 10x win. Combinations with 12-14 shields get a 20x boost, and combos with 15-30 shields win you 50x the play value.
If you’re a fan of the Percy Jackson series, you won’t wanna skip over this one.
Slot Features & Bonuses
Wisdom of Athena features tumbling reels, an option to buy the bonus, and an artfully designed backdrop that transports players to ancient Greece for the experience of a lifetime. Fast-paced spins, anticipatory sound effects, and action-packed animations had our team lost in the sauce.
Several bonus features add more excitement to the mix. If you land four or more scatters on the reels, you’ll trigger the free spins round. I was able to buy those spins for 100x the play amount, and I was intrigued by tumbling reels that exploded out of view whenever I landed combinations.
Landing three or more scatters during a bonus round grants you five more free games at your current play value. I saw that tumbling reels remained in effect during my ten-spin bonus round.
Much like playing Candy Crush, symbols above drop into place for unexpected wins. You’ll see a “Tumble Win” counter at the top-left corner of your screen. One lucky spin won me 1,300 GC as the swords and shields in columns 1, 6, and 9 disappeared to make room for more matches.
After your first reel tumble, the leftmost column reveals a symbol. Going from left to right, you’ll unlock another symbol on each column for every three consecutive tumbles after that. If you’re able to get fifteen tumbles in a row, you’ll have a top row of symbols to make combinations with.
In addition to tumbling reels and free spins, users can trigger multipliers with a value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 60x, 80x, 100x, 150x, 200x, 300x, 400x, 500x or 1,000x the play value. Your win is chosen at random when you get a multiplier symbol.
Best of all, when the tumbling sequence ends, the value of each multiplier symbol on the screen is added together to create a final win multiplier. If you land three multiplier symbols with values of 2x, 10x, and 12x, you’d see your tumble win amount multiplied by a total of 24x (2 + 10 + 12).
WatchGamesTV Earned 35,000 SC While Buying Out The Bonus
WatchGamesTV is a well-known slot influencer who frequents social casinos on YouTube. He has more than 500,000 subscribers and a solid portfolio of 1,686 videos backing his reputation. You can follow him on Twitter (X), Facebook, Twitch, and Instagram to see more of his content.
He finally got around to playing Wisdom of Athena 1000 last week, and he didn’t hold back with a high-limit session that lasted nearly an hour. He started betting 50 SC per spin with 54,182.64 SC in his bankroll. Before anything else, he purchased ten spins for 5,000 SC (10x play value).
This turned out to be the right move as he quickly doubled his profits to 10,600 SC. As the video continued, he simply couldn’t lose. Buying the bonus worked out for him nearly every single time he indiscriminately squandered the down payment for a nice used car on a handful of free spins.
We won’t spoil the whole video, but WatchGamesTV was happy to end his session 35,000 SC in the green. One SC has $1.00 in prize value at Gamdom, so he received $40,000 when he cashed out 40,000 SC using Tether (USDT) for his next high-limit video.
