Goddess of Wisdom
Goddess of Wisdom is a Greek mythology-themed online slot that forms part of the Playtech Age of the Gods slot series. Like its predecessors, it’s a progressive jackpot slot, and it delivers an action-packed playing experience thanks to its Battle Game Feature with expanding wild symbols.
The other games in the Age of the Gods online slot series by Playtech include King of Olympus, Battle of the Gods, God of Storms, Medusa & Monsters, Furious 4, Ruler of the Sky, The Fate Sisters, and Prince of Olympus, and all of them use an identical progressive jackpot system.
However, Playtech has also risen to fame in the online casino and bingo world through many other non-progressive online slot games, including Thai Paradise, Great Blue, King Kong, and Halloween Fortune.
In the case of Goddess of Wisdom, players have the chance to scoop one of four progressive jackpot prizes, and the best part of this is that they can be randomly awarded, although the likelihood of you getting your hands on one is improved when you play the game with larger stakes.
The Greek goddess of wisdom and war, Athena, after whom the Goddess of Wisdom online slot is named, is the wild symbol, and she can help you claim more cash prizes by replacing other symbols in a winning combination. But, it’s the Owl scatter that can help you break into the Battle Game Feature, where you get to pick your preferred free spins option from a choice of three.
Unusually, for a progressive jackpot slot, Goddess of Wisdom amply accommodates high-stakes players with its maximum bet size of £1,000. However, if you’re more comfortable playing with modest amounts, you can spin the reels for as little as 20p.
Design
When you play Goddess of Wisdom, you get whisked away to the home of the gods – Mount Olympus – to Athena’s beautiful white marble temple. The pillars stand tall at either side of the reels and the ancient city of Athena stretches out before you.
You can create wins from left-to-right only, starting from the leftmost reels. There are many different symbols that can help lead to you cash prizes such as the owl, the sandals, the olives, the helmet, the winged breastplate, Athena, the shield featuring the Medusa’s face, and the six playing card symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9).
The game uses five reels, twenty non-fixed paylines, and three rows of symbols, and above the reel set, either side of the game logo, you can view the current totals of the four progressive jackpots.
The various buttons that sit beneath the reels which allow you to view the paytable, change the number of active paylines (to between 1 and 20), choose your line bet (N.B., the value must be between £0.01 and £50), set up Auto Play to automatically spin the reels, turn on Turbo Mode to make the reels spin faster, and turn the music and sound effects on or off.
Wild Symbol
The Goddess of Wisdom online slot uses Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, as its wild symbol. The wild can appear on Reels 2, 3, and 4, and is able to substitute for all symbols except scatters when a winning combination is possible.
Scatter Symbol
In Goddess of Wisdom, the Owl (which in Greek mythology is used to represent or accompany Athena due to its wise properties) acts as the scatter symbol. As well as award scatter wins when it lands twice or more on the same spin, the Owl can trigger the Battle Bonus.
Bonus Round
As we mentioned earlier, all of the online slot games in the Age of the Gods series (of which Goddess of Wisdom is one) are linked to four mystery progressive jackpots. In order of smallest to largest, they are Power, Extra Power, Super Power, and Ultimate Power.
What’s really exciting is that on any given spin (N.B., even a non-winning one), you can be granted entry to the Jackpot Game, where you guaranteed to win one of the four pots by clicking a grid of coins to locate three matching jackpot symbols.
Should three or more Owl scatter symbols land anywhere in view, the Battle Game Bonus is triggered. The city is being attacked, but there’s no need to panic because you’re under Athena’s divine protection. So, step forward and help yourself to ten free spins while you can!
But, before you get started, you must choose which of the three exciting free spins features you wish to receive. You can opt for fourteen free games with a 2x win multiplier, seven free games with a 4x win multiplier or ten free games with no win multiplier.
Regardless of which option you pick, any wild symbols that land on the reels during the Battle Game Bonus expand to fill the whole reel.
