In ancient Greece, the Golden Owl was accompanying Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the little creature was also considered wise and respected by mortals.
BetSoft introduces the Golden Owl of Athena title, taking players on a journey to unlock the secret reward with the special Golden Owl.
Set on the magnificent Mount Olympus, the 2018 release is a five-reel slot with 10 fixed paylines, with Bonus wins from scattered symbols once you trigger the Free Spins feature.
Immerse yourself in the ancient culture, while enjoying this visually appealing game, accompanied by the ancient and wise helper, as well as...
...Athena, an ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom, handicraft and warfare.
Theme & Design
Journey to ancient Greece and unlock the secret of great reward with the Golden Owl of Athena, a visually stunning game, offering players the ability to visit ancient Greece.
The graphics are representative of the look that the Greeks are known for, in terms of building style and objects.
When it comes to the background for this Ancient civilization-themed release, it is one of the most wonderfully designed and drawn backgrounds around.
Showing a view of Athens both during the day and at night it really draws you right into the atmosphere of the game.
Each symbol is designed to look as though it has a mixture of cartoon and realism, while…
...they all show genuine artefacts and characters from Ancient Greece which ensures that the theme of the game is kept legitimate all of the way through.
The sounds also back up the theme of the game which helps to preserve the atmosphere that has been created by the developer.
Also on the reels are a golden quill, a Grecian urn, the golden helmet of a Greek warrior, a golden temple and an old, gnarled tree.
Betting Options
The game is played at 5 reels and 10 pay lines to place your bets on, and you can expect a slightly below the average RTP set at 95.05%.
Spinners will need two and more high-value symbols on a pay line to win a payout, but, when it comes to playing cards, three of a kind will be the minimum.
Punters can bet as low as $0.10 and as high as $10 per single spin, which is not a very wide betting range, and you can choose to either spin the reels yourselves or activate Autoplay if you want to sit back and enjoy the show.
Playing card symbols Jack through Ace represent low-value icons delivering 100 and 150 coins for 5 of a kind.
Apart from these low-win icons, all symbols on the grid are theme related.
Medium-paying icons include a Chalice, a Dagger and a Helmet, all granting 750 coins when 5 hit a pay line, while an Olive Tree and the Pantheon stand for high-value symbols, both awarding 2,000 coins if 5 of a kind are on a pay line.
Landing 5 Athena icons grant the highest payout of 5,000 coins.
The biggest expected possible payout gamers can achieve in the 2018 release is set at mouthwatering 562,200 coins.
Special Features
When it comes to triggering features, games usually need Wilds and Scatters, and this title boasts both in a single symbol - The Owl.
Acting as Wild, it lands on all reels and is capable of replacing all other icons in forming winning combinations. Unfortunately, when acting as Wild, this icon doesn’t deliver payouts.
However, land three, four or five Owls on the reels and you will get 8, 12 or 20 free spins, plus...
...it rewards players with Scatter Wins no matter where it lands on the reels. From 3 to 5 Owls can appear to grant between 20 and 2,000 coins, a prize worthwhile waiting for.
Before the Free Spins round starts, one icon is randomly chosen to act as a special symbol during it.
A sufficient number of these symbols will award bonus wins, for the icons will expand on the reels, and the chance to re-trigger this Bonus will arise each time a minimum of 3 Scatters find their way to the grid.
But, that's not all!
After every winning spin, you get a chance to gamble half or all your gains in the Double up feature.
Plus, should waiting for the bonus become too tedious, use the Buy feature and purchase 20 free spins for a predetermined price.
Wrapping Up
The Golden Owl of Athena takes Greek legends to a whole new level.
With a wide range of innovative features, fantastic graphics and a great soundtrack, you will be whisked away to Athens in no time at all.
A rewarding Scatter/Wild Owl can get you 200 times the bet for five of a kind, while the goddess Athena offers 500 times the bet for the maximum combination.
Taking everything under consideration, this is definitely not the best BetSoft title but is worth the try.
