Sword of Ares

Crack out your sandals and chitons (the Greek version of the Roman toga) and join Ares, the Greek god of war in this great mythology-themed online slot by Pragmatic Play.

Ares stands beside the 6x5 grid ready to spring into action when events on the reels give him a reason. Wins are formed when clusters of 8 or more matching symbols land on the grid, which is set against a Gates of Olympus-style background of Grecian temples. 

The symbols themselves start with five precious stones of different colours as the low pays, making a nice change from card ranks. The premium symbols are all Ares fighting equipment, swords, shields, chariots, and helmets. Clusters of 8-9 of a kind pay 0.5 to 8 times the stake, and this goes up to 0.80 to 12 for 10-11 and  2 to 40 x the bet for clusters of 12-30. The betting range is from 0.20 to 100.00 in this high-volatility game. 

The Scatter is Ares himself, looking a bit put out, like somebody nicked his sword or something. But he'll still award any fox lucky enough to land four or more with a juicy cash prize in addition to Free Spins. 

There are also four different Bomb Symbols that can land in the base game and Free Spins to give a boost to the win potential of both. 

Every win in both the base game and the Free Spins triggers the Tumble feature. All symbols involved in the winning cluster are removed from the reels, and others tumble down to fill the empty positions. If a new win is formed, the process is repeated until no more winning clusters land. 

 In a twist I think you'll all like, me furry friends will like, symbols that are removed from the reels in Tumbles are collected in a metre and unlock multipliers after specific amounts. These multipliers are applied to the win at the end of the Tumble, and the metre resets. 

Another feature in both the base game and the Free Spins is the bomb symbols. These land randomly and remain on the reels if any Tumbles are triggered. At the end of the Tumble, they explode, taking all the neighbouring symbols with them in a horizontal, vertical cross or X shape. This gives the players one more chance at landing a winning cluster and triggering further Tumbles. 

The Free Spins round consists of 15 Free Spins, and there are a total of six Tumble multipliers that can be unlocked, not just the three that are available in the base game. 

Sword of Ares on Foxy Bingo puts a new twist on the cluster pays-type games with its Tumble collect feature. And it certainly gives the game a bit of excitement as you wait to see if the Tumbles trigger a multiplier. But the characters of mythology, especially the gods, were a volatile lot, so don’t rely on getting on their good side, and never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose. Good Luck!
