Disc of Athena Slot – Free Demo

One symbol, two jobs

Disc of Athena from German studio Gamomat has been loosely founded on the Greek deity of the same name, and it’s a complete antiquity celebration stuffed with temple colours, and old-world small touches. Books & Bulls is another Gamomat title built on the same one-symbol-does-both idea. You won’t discover frantic meters or collect boxes here. But punters will be amused by a single symbol that performs two duties at once, so prepare for abundant divine meddling and some unexpectedly simple, if harsh at first, action.

Punters keen on the classical setting will be perfectly comfortable with Disc of Athena, and alongside the plain graphics is a scatter that grows clearer once you’ve watched it working a few times. It took me 410 spins to see three of them land together. The grid itself is composed of a 5x3 grid. It operates 10 paylines on each fresh spin.

Disc of Athena holds a 6/6 score for volatility producing severe swings in play, and the math model’s other vital trait is RTP. That has a theoretical score of 96.00%. The studio states other models are obtainable in certain territories, though. No figures are published for those models, so the return in play at a given casino can sit above or below 96.00%.

The scatter, incidentally, stands in for all the paying symbols. Ramses Book is another Gamomat title built on the same one-symbol-does-both idea. So the one symbol is both scatter and wild, and it is the symbol that triggers the free games feature.

Ten free games and a bonus symbol

Disc of Athena keeps its features sparse. That works against the chaos of the reels, and three or more scatters award 10 free games, played with a bonus symbol. Gamomat also lists a stamping feature for the game, and the studio’s wording for that mechanic elsewhere has reels carrying bonus symbols stamped out to full bonus reels. In testing the feature never retriggered.

The colour-of-the-card gamble and the tiered risk ladder are Gamomat’s customary gambles. They rest on top of every win.

410 spins at seven a spin

Not much is happening here. Two of my 410 spins paid more than 20x the stake. So Disc of Athena must be played in the flesh to gain a genuine sense for what it’s about, and all this chatter of discs, deities, and temples might be unappealing for some.

These sorts of games are all about catching a streak, and Disc of Athena did not roll for me. The best spin outside the feature was 252.00 on spin 164, worth 36.0x the stake. Over 410 spins at a stake of 7.00 I staked 2,870.00 and received back 1,530.20. The low point along the way was 3,334.70. That is a session return of 53.3%, and it dragged the balance from 5,000.00 down to 3,660.20. Spin 211 was the third-biggest hit at 126.00, or 18.0x the stake. Only 77 spins returned anything at all. That is 19% of them, leaving 333 spins that paid nothing. 38 of those returned less than the stake, and one barren stretch lasted 38 spins without a win. That drought ended on spin 147. It is highly volatile bear in mind, so not every spin is going to be a heroic journey to glory. Spin 394 paid 70.00, 10.0x the stake.

My lone free games round, on spin 380, paid 392.00. Three scatters started it, and the ten free games ran with a bonus symbol. That is 56.0x the stake, and 26% of everything I won in the session. It took the balance from 3,334.70 to 3,719.70. Frequently when Disc of Athena gets moving, you know precisely what is occurring. That is because you’ve thoroughly studied the rules, but it doesn’t signify at all. Disc of Athena is a simple sequence of spins where the scatters do the deciding.

The Minty Breakdown: One free games round in 410 spins, and it carried 26% of everything the session won back. The other 409 spins handed back 53.3% of what went in. A 6/6 volatility rating is the studio telling you that in advance, and this run was the rating doing its work in public.
