How to cite

Slot Summary

A taste for long tumble chains and collection meters is the entry point to Sword of Ares. Pragmatic Play turns every winning symbol into fuel for multiplier thresholds, while Bomb symbols clear larger patterns and accelerate the count. The Greek war setting supports that sense of accumulation: repeated wins unlock stronger multiplier levels, and free spins extend the system toward a 500x multiplier and a 10,000x maximum win.

How It Plays

The six-by-five grid pays for groups of at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the screen. Each win removes its symbols and drops replacements into their positions.

A spin can therefore produce several consecutive results without resetting the grid. The sequence ends only when a new arrangement fails to create another qualifying symbol group.

Theme & Atmosphere

Ancient Greece is presented through Ares, the god of war, with chariots, shields, and swords serving as the principal battle imagery on the grid.

The warrior theme is functional rather than decorative. Bomb patterns resemble attacks across the battlefield, while the collection meter rewards the cumulative effect of repeated symbol clearances.

Mythology Warrior Greece Ancient

Features & Win Potential

The Multiplier collection unlocks three base-game levels after 20, 50, and 100 winning symbols have been gathered. Each unlocked value applies to subsequent qualifying wins.

Bomb symbols can clear a row, column, cross, or X pattern. Every removed symbol counts toward the collection thresholds, allowing a bomb to move several meters at once.

Bonus & Free Spins

Four or more Scatter symbols trigger 15 free spins. The collection system expands from three multiplier levels to six, giving the round more thresholds to reach.

The free-spins meter can ultimately unlock a 500x multiplier. A Bonus Buy is listed, although the available facts do not state its cost.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.40%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
