Athena’s wisdom meets Hacksaw Gaming’s signature mechanics

Spear of Athena takes players deep into a war-torn vision of Ancient Greece, where marble ruins smolder beneath a crimson sky. Athena stands to one side of the reels, her owl on the other, glowing with divine light.

The soundtrack features solemn drums and strings, sonically building a sombre yet almost haunting atmosphere. It’s no exaggeration to say that this may be Hacksaw’s most vivid spectacle yet, with an almost mythic, Goya-like feel to the background.

Full Rules & Information About the Spear of Athena Online Slot

The game takes place on a 6 x 5 grid with only 19 paylines, which actually works out fine. Bets can range from 10 cents up to $50 per spin, so lots of room for the more casual player and high rollers as well.

The top prize is 15,000x, which is remarkable for a medium volatility game, with wins per usual, from left to right.

Spear of Athena Symbols & Payouts

Spear of Athena uses the usual 10 through Ace card emblems for the lower-paying symbols. The snake, War Horse, Owl, Medusa, and Athena herself make up the higher-paying symbols.

The wild shield can substitute for all regular symbols and pays the same as if you had landed Athena herself. Scatter symbols are represented by golden blocks conveniently lettered “FS”, while the Fortune Symbol features a design resembling flaming wings.

Coins, Amphora, and Shields all play their part.

• All symbols: 13
• Highest-Paying Symbol: Athena
• Wilds: Red W Shield
• Paylines Pay: Left to Right
• Maximum Win: 15,000

Spear of Athena Bonuses & Features

The key mechanic is that any win kicks off the Flaming Frame and triggers a Goddess Respin. During this respin, all Flaming Frames become sticky, as do the symbols inside.

Land a Fortune symbol during the respin, and it becomes a Blue Flaming Frame. No wonder there’s so much smoke hanging over our background. Winning symbols and those that add to preexisting wins all become sticky as well, and continue to re-trigger respins.

Fortune Reveals

After all that flame has burned away at the end of the respins, these frames transform into coins, amphorae or shields, with the shield multiplying the amphora or coin totals. The amphora then activates after the shields to collect the value of all the coins and other amphora.

Omen Of War

Three scatters trigger 10 free spins. Those rather persistent flaming frames stick around between spins, and coin values begin at 1x.

Siege of Troy

Land 4 scatters and you get 12 free spins and guaranteed Shields in every Fortune Reveal.

Athena Ascends

Five scatters get us to the hidden bonus round. We receive 12 free spins, but this time with a guaranteed Fortune Symbol, and only gold and silver coins are in play.

Bonus Buy moves us directly into Feature Rounds

We have the option of 4 Bonus Buy Games. 3x your bet gets you the BonusHunt, which gives us 5x greater likelihood of a bonus game. 60x gets us FeatureSpins, which guarantees 1 Fortune Symbol and one win.

100x gets us into Omen of War with no waiting. And 250x will buy you directly into Siege of Troy.

Similar Games & Best Alternatives

While they are very different games thematically, if you enjoy the “Le mechanic”, you may also enjoy Le Pharoh or any of the Le Bandit games.

If it’s Athena herself you are a fan of, welcome to the club. Pragmatic Play has some goods that feature the goddess of war, like Wisdom of Athena and Gates of Olympus.

Fortune Favors the Bold

Athena is clearly in charge in this world of smoke and stone and divine power. Hacksaw has fused emotive visuals with its win and reveal mechanic to make another game filled with spectacle.

It’s a rather less playful take on the company’s recent raccoon titles, which features much of the same gameplay but makes it stand out all the more.

Its perfectly synced soundtrack and cinematic style make it feel bigger than the actual gameplay. A slot almost worthy of the Goddess herself.
