Athens Megaways Slot Review

Athens Megaways Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

Played on 6 reels and 2-7 rows, the Athens Megaways slot comes with up to 117,649 ways to win. Up to 7 symbols can land on each of the 6 reels to make up this total number of ways. Symbols forming wins will disappear, making way for new symbols that drop from above to potentially form new wins.

Stakes range from 10p up to £100 per spin, thus catering to all bankrolls. Use the + and – buttons below the reels to adjust your total bet. Turbo spins and auto spins are also possible in most territories outside the UK.

The Athens Megaways RTP is 95.68%, which is lower than the industry average for an online slot. However, it’s pretty common for a Megaways slot to be under 96%, especially if the max win is pretty good. In terms of volatility, it sits in the medium to high range.

The maximum win is 19,992.7 x your stake, which is quite generous. It’s not as high as some of the best Megaways slots around but it’s but no means a low figure. The Free Spins feature will be your best chance of getting anywhere near it due to the multipliers that come into play.

Theme – beware of the power of the Gods

The theme here is all about Ancient Greece, with the reels set in front of a hillside where you can see the ancient temples we love to see as tourists nowadays on our holidays. The background is very basic, to be honest, and the reels are very plain in terms of animation.

The overall look is slightly dull at first glance, but things ramp up once bonus features start to land. The audio, which is very calm as you spin away in the base game, takes a dramatic turn when the bonus features come into play. I like the intensity of it all and the animations with the sound effects are very well done. It’s just a shame the base game is a little dull.

On the reels, you’ve got some letters from the Greek alphabet making up the lower-paying symbols – Delta, theta, Sigma, Psi and Omega. These are joined by Lyres, pots, horns, shields and helmets. The helmet is the most lucrative symbol, paying 0.7, 1.2, 2 or 3 x your stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

The game’s Wild symbols are souls that rise from the dead. They appear on the middle 4 reels only. There are also some Super Wilds that play an important role in the overall gameplay. More on those in a moment. First, here’s a useful table showing you the symbols you’ll come across in the game:

Athens Megaways Review Summary – another entertaining Megaways release

When I first loaded Athens Megaways, I wasn’t expecting much as the visuals didn’t jump out at me as being anything special. The soundtrack was calm and fairly dull too. However, forget the base game. The action gets going once a bonus feature lands, with the audio intensifying and so many sound effects and fantastic animations when one of the Gods unleashes their power.

The max win of 19,992.7 x your stake is a great addition too and should attract plenty of Megaways fans you enjoy solid max win potential. You may notice that some of the features aren’t so new as they appear in other Red Tiger slots such as Piggy Riches Megaways. The increasing multiplier there is an enjoyable feature as well as the Mega Wilds, which act in the same way as the Super Wilds here.

Overall, it’s another solid release from Red Tiger Gaming even though it might not pack as much of a punch as some other Megaways slots on the market today. Why not give our free demo a try first? It’s a great way of testing out a new slot before deciding if you want to use your own funds.
