The Golden Owl of Athena

Theme & Atmosphere

The ancient Greek gods are the theme of The Golden Owl of Athena. All the symbols are designed to fit the theme, with the Reels standing in front of a paradise near the Parthenon. The music that plays in the background is god-like, with banging drums and a soothing hymn like from a choir. You can also hear the owl hooting, making this a very immersive game.

Feature Overview

Landing three of the Free Spins symbols on the Reels awards you the Free Spins bonus round, where you get anywhere from eight to 20 Free Spins. During the round, one symbol gets chosen randomly, and if you land enough of these, they expand to give you a Bonus Win. The Wild symbol is the same Golden Owl, though it doesn’t have the phrase “Free Spins” written at the bottom. It also offers Scatter wins between 0.60 and 60 coins. 

Technical Specifications & Mechanics

There are five Reels, three Rows and 10 Paylines in this game. The Minimum amount you can wager is 0.10, with the Maximum being 17.50. You increase in 0.10 increments to start, then it goes up to 1, 2 and then more as you get higher. There’s a random number generator to ensure fairness and that the game isn’t rigged.

Bet & Paytable Analysis

Royals represent the lowest-paying symbols in the game, offering payouts between 8.75 and 262.50 coins, depending on the symbol and how many are on a Win Line. Medium-value symbols are the chalice, sword and helmet, paying between 8.75 and 1,312.50 coins. Premium symbols are the tree, Parthenon and Athena herself. You only need to match two on a Pay Line for a win with these, and the payouts range from 8.75 to 8,750. Your payout amounts are based on how much you bet, though that doesn’t affect how often you win.
