Green Goddess is a slot machine from Nuworks which is dedicated to Athena, the goddess of courage, wisdom, arts and literature. This Greek goddess was also the patron of Athens, the capital of the Greeks even to this day. Daughter of Zeus, Athena might not have gotten as much attention as Aphrodite, but she seems just as worthy of having a slot machine made after her, and I think Nuworks did a very good job with the theme and the design.
In Greek Goddess you will discover a 25 line slot machine, which can pay up to $9,000 from its best possible combo. It also needs help from the wild and its multiplier to do so, and then you also have some free spins that get triggered by scatters.
Features of Greek Goddess
If you will take a look at the paytable, you will notice that among its features the game mentions a wild with tripled prizes, scatter symbols and bonus features which include free spins, stacked wilds and multipliers.
Athena herself was chosen to represent the wild feature in Greek Goddess. Shown in golden armor and holding a spear, Athena is a wild which is only allowed to make appearances on reels 1 and 5. It is able to substitute for all other symbols, no exceptions here, as even the scatters can take advantage of its presence. There are no direct prizes awarded by the wild, but a 3x multiplier is applied to all wins obtained with the help of its substitutions.
A scatter symbol exists as well, the one with the Golden Apple image on it. You need four or five scattered Golden Apples to get a direct prize, while three or more are sufficient to trigger a feature. Prizes are at 10x the bet for four Golden Apples, and 100x for five.
Golden Apple Feature
This feature requires three or more Golden Apple scatters to be present on the reels. In return you are given 7 free spins, which have stacked Athena wilds on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels. The free spins have 2x multipliers.
Athena Feature
The other bonus game in Greek Goddess requires that you get a combination of scatters and wilds on the screen. Since wilds can substitute for scatters, you can get a combo going, but you’re going to have the Athena feature instead of the Golden Apple feature.
Have three scatters on the screen, one of which is actually a wild that is substituting, and your reward will be 10 free spins.
With four scatters, including at least one Athena wild, you will be offered 25 free spins.
As for the maximum of five scatters, if at least one wild Athena is present then you will get 50 free spins out of it.
You get 3x multipliers for all these free spins that come with the Athena Feature. Also, if the reels get 3 or more scatters then you retrigger the feature with the same number of spins as you got initially from it.
Betting options and jackpots
The game is not terribly expensive to play, as you only need $25 to use its highest setting. To get it at a lower value, you change the number of coins (down to just 1 if you have to), which will reduce the number of active lines as well. The value of a single coin can drop from $1 to just $0.01.
The prizes normally offer you $3,000, but with the wild applying its multiplier it will become a $9,000 jackpot. Progressive jackpots are also available inside, five of them total, though only the main one has a truly big prize to offer.
Design and symbols
The design of Greek Goddess will remind you of Ancient Greece, for the most part being responsible for this the design from the logo area and the choice of symbols. The reels themselves are a dark purple. Behind the logo you see a temple dedicated to Athena. On the reels, the symbols include fruit platters, an amphora with Medusa on it, owls, goddesses, money bags and all sorts of other images that fit with the Greek theme.
Symbols: Athena (wild), Golden Apple (scatter, 100x the bet), Aphrodite (3,000 coins), Owl (1,000 coins), Temple (500 coins), Deer (500 coins), Water Fountain (200 coins), Amphora (200 coins), Fruit Platter (100 coins), Money Bag (100 coins) and White Cloth (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
You’re going to find a design on which the developers have worked hard, without cutting any corners, meaning that no poker cards were used. The design, the features and even the top prizes could be good reasons to give it a chance.
Greek Goddess can be found at any NuWorks casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
