Pragmatic Play · 2024
Wisdom of Athena 1000 is a high volatility Pragmatic Play slot set in Ancient Greece, built on tumbles, free spins and multiplier gems.
On the reels, eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid make a win, since this is a scatter-pays game. The theme is Ancient Greece and Mythology, with 30 grid positions and a row of six above them that starts locked. After each win, the paying symbols are removed and new ones fall in from above, so one spin can chain several wins together.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start a Free Spins round of 10 spins, and the locked row begins fully locked. Multiplier gems add to a total multiplier that keeps working on every win until the round ends. Three or more SCATTER during the round add 5 more spins. The unlocked rows stay open for the whole round.

Feature notes
The usual worry is missing the bonus, so each mode below states exactly how it starts.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere start the round with 10 free spins. The locked row above begins fully locked, and tumble unlocks stay open for the round. Multiplier gems add to a total that multiplies every win. Three or more SCATTER during the round award 5 more spins.
Base game reels10 free spins
Each spin runs on a 6x5 scatter-pays grid of 30 positions with a locked row of 6 above. Winning symbols are removed and replaced from above, which unlocks more of the top row. Multiplier gems left at end of a tumble sequence are summed and multiply that win.
Placing a betTumble wins
The bonus buy costs 100 times the bet, so at A$5 a round of free spins costs A$500.

How to play
Useful when you open the game for the first time and want the order of a round.
Before the reels turn, you set a bet anywhere from A$0.20 up to A$125. Every win, tumble and free spin scales with the stake you pick.
Eight or more matching symbols landing anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win. Winning symbols are removed and replaced from above, and the tumble repeats until no new wins appear.
Multiplier gems on the grid at sequence end add up and multiply the whole win. Six locked positions above the grid unlock as tumbles keep coming.
Four or more SCATTER symbols land anywhere and start the Free Spins round with 10 free spins. Three SCATTER symbols during the round add 5 more spins.
Nothing on the reels can be known before the first spin. Decide the amount you are willing to lose, and stop once your balance reaches it.
Practice round
Useful when you want to learn the reels before depositing anything at all.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing, so it shows how a round runs. The real game needs an account and the legal age of 18+.
PlayEach spin drops symbols onto the 6x5 grid, and no one can tell in advance when the Free Spins will land. How often that bonus comes is not known before you play, and the result of one session is random, whatever the RTP says. The RTP describes the long run, not the next hour.
Every round on the reels runs on one RTP version, and only the game rules say which one. Check those rules before your first spin, so the figures on this page make sense in their full context.
On the reels, wins build through tumbles, Multiplier gems and the Free Spins, but the top prize is a ceiling reached very rarely. Treat it as the edge of the paytable, not a figure to plan around, because the odds of reaching it are not known in advance.
Six short replies
By the end you will know the volatility, the bonus route and the RTP before you spin.
Wisdom of Athena 1000 carries high volatility. Results can swing widely, so one session can look nothing like the last. The maximum win is x10,000 the bet.
The bonus can be bought with the Buy Free Spins option. At the A$5 bet used here, the cost is A$500, which is 100 times the stake. The price scales with the bet, so a lower stake brings the cost down with it.
This version has an RTP of 96.00%, measured on A$100 staked. RTP is a long-run average across many spins, so it does not predict a single session. The original Wisdom of Athena in the series shows 96.07% instead.
Four or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start the free spins. The round opens with 10 spins, and the locked row begins fully locked before the tumbles unlock it. Three or more SCATTER symbols during the round add 5 more spins.
The Xmas edition shares this version's 96.00% RTP and x10,000 maximum win. The older Wisdom of Athena is the one that differs, with 96.07% RTP and a x5,000 maximum win.
The rules on this page show how a round runs before any stake is placed. The base game uses a 6x5 grid with a Tumble Feature. The paytable lists each symbol at the A$0.20 minimum bet, so the figures are easy to check first.
Players must be 18+. Support is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can join BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide before you open the game how much you can afford to lose. Keep that amount as the whole session budget, never a starting point.
Choose your stopping point before you play, and keep to it after a big win too. A win does not change the plan you set.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you start. They keep the session inside an amount you chose.
Take a break as soon as the game stops feeling like fun, and step away from the reels. Longer breaks are possible through self-exclusion.
