Thunderkick diversifies ancient mythology game collection with Ways of Athena
Expanding pay ways unlock 25,000x win potential
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Ways of Athena, a Greek mythology-themed title where matching mystery symbols reveal up to 43,923 ways to win.
The goddess of wisdom and warfare reigns supreme in the 3×5 slot, where helmets, shields, amphoras, and lyres line the reels. Matching mystery symbols land on reels two to five and enhance base game action, transforming into double symbols and mirroring an icon on reel one to increase the number of pay ways and boost wins.
Landing three scatters triggers the bonus round with an initial eight free spins, with each additional scatter awarding two extra spins. When mystery symbols match a scatter on reel one, they will also split into double symbols, providing the potential for 44 free spins.
During the bonus feature, matching mystery orbs are accumulated in a meter beneath the grid. For every five orbs collected, the number of pay ways assigned to mystery symbols increases up to five, and two additional spins are awarded, paving the way for 25,000x maximum wins.
Ways of Athena is the latest addition to Thunderkick’s diverse portfolio of class-leading content and supplements its ancient mythology offering that includes Sword of Khans, Odin’s Gamble, and Midas Golden Touch 1 and 2.
Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “Ways of Athena introduces matching mystery symbols which split two, three, or five ways, increasing the number of total pay ways up to a maximum of 43,923. This not only generates bigger wins but also provides the opportunity to trigger up to 44 free spins, enriching the player experience.
“This exciting concept, coupled with the popular Greek mythology theme and crisp visuals, delivers engaging gameplay that further strengthens Thunderkick’s offering on behalf of our global operator partners.”
