The Golden Owl of Athena

The Golden Owl of Athena by Betsoft is a video slot with 5 reels and 10 fixed paylines, featuring a theme that heavily draws on Greek mythology and the wisdom of the goddess Athena. The game takes place in a lush garden on the slopes of Olympus, surrounded by temples, olive trees, and mythological objects such as spears, helmets, and jars. The symbol "The Golden Owl" serves as both Wild and Scatter: as Wild, it replaces all other symbols to create winning combinations, and as Scatter, it pays out regardless of its position on the reels, triggering the Free Spins feature.

Three, four, or five owls (Golden Owls) anywhere on the reels award 8, 12, or 20 free spins. Before the free spins begin, one standard symbol is randomly chosen as the “special expanding symbol”; during the free spins, this symbol will expand and cover an entire reel when enough of that symbol appear on the reels, potentially leading to stacked wins. There is also a Double Up option where you can choose to risk half or your entire win in a coin toss game after a winning spin to double your winnings.

Additionally, in some casino versions, a Buy Feature is available that allows you to gain immediate access to the Free Spins round with a fixed number of spins, instead of waiting to land three or more Scatter symbols. The bet per game typically ranges from low to medium, making the game suitable for a wide range of players. The game offers balanced volatility: not too risky, but with enough potential for larger payouts in the bonus rounds. The visual presentation is detailed and atmospheric, with animations that enhance the reel changes and expanding symbols during the free spins.

You can play it for real money.
