Athens Megaways™ Slot review

Athens Megaways is a video slot from Red Tiger Gaming that was released on November 17, 2022. This video slot is based on Ancient Greece, and the reels are positioned in front of a hillside that has some of the ancient temples that are popular destinations for vacationers in today's world. To tell you the truth, the backdrop is really simple, and the reels include animation that is extremely ordinary. At first glance, the general appearance is a little bit boring, but as bonus features start to arrive, things start to become a lot more interesting. When you activate one of the additional features, the otherwise soothing background music suddenly takes on a much more dramatic tone, in contrast to the rest of the main game and makes your heartbeat faster. If you want to be ready for all the nuances of this slot, you should read our review beforehand since it has a lot of unique features.

Athens Megaways Bonus Features

Chain Reaction

When a player has a winning combination of symbols, those symbols vanish, creating room for more symbols to fall into place, some of which may lead to further wins.

Soul Pit

When this feature is triggered, anywhere from 2 to 9 WILDS might land on any of the middle 4 reels on any given spin. WILDS may take the place of any symbol that awards a payout and are counted as the symbol that contributes to the formation of the longest winning combination on a single win line.

Sea Fury

During each spin, there is a chance that one of the middle 4 reels may have a Super WILDS symbol that covers the whole reel and awards a multiplier of between 2 and 7. There is a possibility that a single spin might produce up to three Super WILDS. The ways multiplier indicates the number of additional symbols that are tallied when the Super Wild is used in the calculation of payout.

Olympus Blessing

When a player spins the wheel, there is a chance that they may get a random multiplier that will be added to all of their winnings from the current spin. This multiplier starts off with a value between x2 and x5, and after each iteration of the cascade, its value goes up by one. After that spin, the multiplier will no longer be in effect. There is a possibility that the multiplier will reach x20.

Free Spins

This feature provides 8 Free Spins if there are 3 scatter symbols on the reels in any position. During Free Spins, it is possible for scatters to fall, and each scatter will provide 1 extra spin. At the beginning of the bonus round, players have to choose one of three temples that are exactly the same. The choice that is selected shows an emblem that corresponds to one of the game's features, which may be either Soul Pit, Sea Fury, or Olympus Blessing.

Whatever it is that is shown by the choice that is selected will be the sole feature that has a chance to randomly trigger during the bonus round, but it will activate more often.

The Free Spins bonus round begins with a multiplier of x1, and for every win in the round, it rises by one, all the way up to a maximum of x20. During the bonus round, the multiplier will be used with each and every win. During the course of the Free Spins bonus round, the multiplier does not reset. If the Olympus Blessing feature is active while you are playing Free Spins, any multiplier obtained from the feature activation is added to the global multiplier. However, the maximum global multiplier of x20 will not be surpassed.

Jackpot Game

3 or more jackpot symbols on the reels or a game feature triggers a jackpot. When it is triggered, you will have to spin the jackpot wheel to determine the prize tier. The size of the jackpot wheel segments does not correspond to winning odds. Jackpot odds grow with bet amount. The jackpot is randomly triggered and won by playing connected jackpot games. If two jackpots are won near together, they will be awarded in sequence. The jackpot sum is the same after reactivation.

Progressive Jackpot

All bets on progressive jackpot games build the prize, which may be offered on various websites. Each stake contributes to a pot. Portion of this donation is used to build constantly growing jackpot sums, while the other part goes to a seed fund, which guarantees a minimum amount of money to participants once a jackpot is won. Once the jackpot is won, a new progressive jackpot becomes available. A single user's spin may win the jackpot. This jackpot has no limit and may be won anytime. 

Time Jackpot

The time jackpot is a progressive jackpot that pays out before a certain time. The closer the prize pot is to the announced latest payment time, the better your chances of winning. When the latest payment time is reached, odds rise by 100%. Once the jackpot is won, a new time jackpot is made available with a new payment date. A single user's spin may win the jackpot. This jackpot has no limit but must be won by the specified timeframe.

Our Experience Playing Athens Megaways

When we first began playing the game, we were welcomed with a reelset that had a variety of symbols based on ancient Greece on it, as well as relaxing music. The first thing that came to our minds was the fact that there are a lot of slot machines with the same motif, and whether or not this slot machine could establish itself from the others. The payout of a slot machine is the aspect of gambling that the vast majority of players care about the most, and it was our job to test it for you. In order to do this, we carried out our standard test, which entailed making a deposit of 200 Euro, adjusting the stake to 1 Euro, and playing the game for around 300 spins. We had played the game for around 20 spins when we triggered the Free Spins bonus round, which offered us 8 Free Spins along with extra chances to activate the Soul Pit feature. As a consequence of this, we earned 87.60 Euros. After another 25 spins passed, we once again triggered the bonus round. This time, it was the Olympus Blessing variation, which we believed to be the greatest choice, but we were mistaken, and we were only rewarded 38.50 Euros. Following our first one hundred spins, we had a profit of 61.60 Euros, which we considered to be an excellent result for a slot machine that had such a degree of volatility. Thanks to the Soul Pit feature which resulted in 36x the bet payout and one bonus round which paid us 36x the bet, it enabled us to pay for the spins itself but also win some. During the course of the final one hundred spin, we were blessed with one big win of x35 the bet and numerous smaller payouts that left us with 340.20 Euro on our balance. Overall, this was an interesting journey that turned out to be quite profitable for us.

Athens Megaways™ Verdict

The competition among slot machines in this industry may be fierce, but this one has a fighting chance to succeed due to the engaging bonus features it offers and a good payout percentage. It's possible that the straightforward appearance of this slot machine may appeal to a large number of gamblers, including us. Overall, this is a decent new video slot that is worth your time and money playing at least once. Good luck and have fun!
