Sword of Ares

Sword of Ares

From the creator, Pragmatic Play, Sword of Ares steps into the spotlight as the sequel to the well-received Gates of Olympus. Devotees of Gates of Olympus will recognize the continuity, with Pragmatic Play preserving some features while innovatively modifying others. The alterations don't denote a better or worse design but create a fresh, engaging dynamic. Instead of randomly appearing multiplier symbols, the game offers a thrilling task of collecting symbols to unlock them, thereby providing a direction and purpose to the gameplay. However, the debate between collecting winning symbols or the accumulation of random multiplier symbols, as done in Gates of Olympus, can be seen as a subjective matter. To form a solid opinion, adventurous players may need to give this method a go at %APP_DOMAIN%. Ares, the legendary god of war in Greek mythology, son of Zeus and Hera, is the main character of the slot, with his striking presence besides the reels. As you engage in your spinning journey, be prepared to come face-to-face with him multiple times. Resonating with the ancient Greek theme and the method of accumulating multiplier values, the bonus game shares some similarities with 300 Shields Mighty Ways. Unlike Light & Wonder's game where multipliers persist between spins, Sword of Ares resets the multipliers. But on a positive note, the intermediate values can be substantially high in Sword of Ares, ensuring an exciting swing of events. This unique feature has propelled Pragmatic Play to increase the maximum win to 10,000 times the stake. The journey to this level is filled with a frenzied collection of symbols in a tumbling style. The game offers a maximum of fifteen free spins, variable multipliers, and a Cluster Engine. The Multiplier Collection feature is not one to miss.

Game Features:

Multiplier Collection, Free Spin, Bombs, Tumble Features

Bombs

There are four types of Bomb symbols appearing on each reel during the base game and free spins. Upon activation, these Bombs linger on-screen until there are no more scatter wins. Post this, they explode, wiping out all symbols in a horizontal, vertical, cross, or X formation from the board. The multipliers gather the removed symbols while new symbols fall from above. Bombs can only detonate in the base game after at least one tumble has occurred.

Multiplier Collection Feature

The multipliers in Sword of Ares have a unique mechanism compared to previous versions. There is a meter above the reels showcasing three multiplier values during the base game and six multiplier values during free spins. These multiplier values are locked at the start of each spin. After each spin, the count of winning or exploding symbols is recorded. At fixed collection points, multipliers are unlocked. After a tumble sequence, the total winnings are multiplied by the highest unlocked multiplier. Here is how it works in the base game:

• First multiplier – values could be x2, x3, or x4, unlocked when 20 symbols are collected.
• Second multiplier – values could be x5, x6, x7, or x8, unlocked when 50 symbols are collected.
• Third multiplier – values could be x9, x10, x11, x12, x13, x14, or x15, unlocked when 100 symbols are collected.

Tumble Feature

The Tumble Reel feature is triggered when a winning combination forms a cluster of symbols. During the Tumble Reel feature, winning symbols are removed from the grid, replaced by new symbols. This feature allows for consecutive spins and multiple wins.

Free Spins

Four or more Scatters on the grid during the base game rewards you with 15 Free Spins. Here is the representation of the Multiplier Meter:

• First Multiplier unlocks 15 symbols with values from 2x, 3x, or 4x
• Second Multiplier unlocks 27 symbols with values of 5x, 6x, 7x, or 8x.
• Third Multiplier unlocks 39 symbols with values of up to 15x.
• Fourth Multiplier unlocks up to 55 symbols with a max multiplier of 25x.
• Fifth Multiplier unlocks 85 symbols for multiplier wins of up to 50x.
• Sixth and final Multiplier unlocks 235 symbols with a colossal multiplier of 500x.
