To introduce you to the game symbols or icons here they are briefly. For premium regular symbols there is a Goddess, and a Hippogriff. We’ll be honest we do not know much about hippogriffs, except it is a legendary creature from Greek mythology that is half eagle and half horse. Other symbols you will see are a unicorn and an owl.
Additional symbols in reducing value are the A, K, Q, J and 10.

Mystery Symbols
Mystery symbols have a question mark on them because it is a mystery until te reel stops. Once the symbol is landed in a spot it can change into any regular game symbol during the base game.
During free spins rounds the mystery symbols may only change into Goddess, hippogriff, unicorn owl or wilds.
Stacked Symbols
Each reel contains stacked symbols. The mystery symbols can turn into randomly selected symbols to fill the reel in a stack.
Any symbol can appear in any stack except for the scatters since they only land on reels# 2, #3 and #4.
And since the sane symbol may appear in large stacks on adjacent reels the potential for large wins is increased.
Temple of Athena Wild Symbols
Wild symbols act as a substitute for all regular symbols except the scatters.
In addition to helping payline wins as a wild, landing multiple wilds pay according to the following paytable.
- 2 wilds pay $0.50.
- 3 wilds pay at $1.00.
- 4 wilds will pay at $2.50.
- % wilds will pay at $10.00.
As above we used a $2 wager amount for the match wilds payout.The biggest benefit you will see from wilds is in regular payline wins.
Scatters and Free Spins
Scatter land only on reels #2, #3 and #4. When you land 3 scatters you get free spins. The award is 8 free spins.
If you land 3 scatters again during the free spin round, 8 additional spins are added to the total left.
The wager for the free spin round is based on the wager that triggered the round initially.
Decent Range of Bet Amounts
Wit a low threshold of minimum bet amount of $0.40 cents the game can have appeal to even budget conscious players. Maximum bet amounts are at $200.00 so even the higher level players can enjoy the game well.
Average Return
Average return which many players know as the RTP (return to player) sits at 96.08%.
