Guardian of Athens Review

Quickspin has done a very good job with the visual presentation, as usual, and we can see some players preferring Guardian of Athens over the asian-themed original, Eastern Emeralds. It’s completely up to you what you like, as the 2 games are absolutely identical when it comes to features and the math model. It’s a reskin job in other words, and the original will probably be hard to dethrone as ‘old habits die hard’.

The multiplying multiplier wild action will keep you afloat to a certain degree in the base game, and the bonus round triggers more often than you might think. That being said, it's very possible to only get measly returns from any of the bonus round options, so you need to be mentally prepared for some serious volatility here. Fans of the original game will perhaps enjoy a change of scenery, and this westernized theme might also attract some new players into its fold.

Guardian of Athens slot Features

The wild symbols step in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combinations. The wilds land with reel-specific multipliers in the base game, and wilds on reels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 come with multiplier values of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x, respectively. If you land more than one wild in a winning combo, the respective multiplier values are multiplied.

The Bonus Round is triggered when you land 3 scatters on the 3 middle reels at the same time.

The Fate Free Spins feature comes with 4 different options as follows:

  • 6 Free Spins - Multipliers (reels 2-5) 5x, 6x, 7x and 8x, Max Multiplier 1,680x, Max Win per spin 16,003x your stake
  • 9 Free Spins - Multipliers (reels 2-5) 4x, 5x, 6x and 7x, Max Multiplier 840x, Max Win per spin 13,734x your stake
  • 12 Free Spins - Multipliers (reels 2-5) 3x, 4x, 5x and 6x, Max Multiplier 360x, Max Win per spin 5,922x your stake
  • 15 Free Spins - Multipliers (reels 2-5) 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x, Max Multiplier 120x, Max Win per spin 2,294.5x your stake

As you can see, fewer spins equals higher risk/reward, and the 9 spins option seems to be the best bet in our opinion. It gives you a decent amount of spins, and the single spin max win is not too far off the ultimate potential.

Nothing overly interesting happened for us in the base game. You can therefore safely skip to the bonus round, which is triggered at 1:26 into the 2 and a half minute highlights video. We went with the 9 spins option, and you can hit the play button below to see for yourself how we fared.

Review Summary

It would, perhaps, make more sense to make a westernized reskin of an asian-themed slot that wasn’t already a massive success in the west. Eastern Emeralds was a bit of a sensation when it was released, but a lot has happened in the meantime.

For this reason, Guardian of Athens will not stand out as much as the original did.

That being said, what the game does, it does well, also in this Greek mythology cloned version. The 16,003x potential is still solid, but nothing really extraordinary these days. White marble and gold dominates the excellent visual presentation, and having bonus round options is never wrong. If you enjoy multiplying multiplier action, you cannot really go wrong with a game like this.

Pros

  • Reel-specific wild multipliers up to 5x
  • 4 options in the bonus round
  • Win up to 16,003x your stake

Cons

  • Reskin of Eastern Emeralds

If you appreciate Guardian of Athens slot you should also try:

Eastern Emeralds - is the exact same game, but in a different wrapping. With beautiful asian landscapes in the background, the vibe of this original game is quite exotic. All the features are the same though, and the math model is also an exact replica.

Artemis vs Medusa - is another greek mythology title from Quickspin, and it comes with bounty coin collection prizes in the base game. You also have an unlimited Battle bonus round to look forward to here, and you can win up to 5,288x your stake.

Gates of Olympus - is a Pragmatic Play release where the thunder god himself is by your side. You’ll benefit from multiplier orbs up to 500x in the base game, and the progressive multiplier bonus round can award payouts up to 5,000x your stake.
