Sword of Ares Slot

Released in 2022, Sword of Ares is an online slot game that was developed by Pragmatic Play. This title utilises a Greek mythology theme, basing its design around the gods, most notably Ares, a Greek god who can appear on screen throughout gameplay. On top of this, Sword of Ares offers a range of fun bonus features and, like Megaways slots, uses interesting base gameplay mechanics, though it does not include the Megaways feature.

As we have mentioned, Sword of Ares utilises the Greek mythology theme, meaning it takes place in Olympus, a mythical location in the skies of Greece. As a result, above and behind the playtable, players may see floating islands with grassy mountains, alongside blue skies full of clouds. To the left of the playtable, however, there is a golden temple present which adds detail to the overall setting. Finally, in the foreground, the playtable is presented above a golden platform, with Ares, the god of war, standing to the right, wielding a sword and shield.

The base gameplay of Sword of Ares takes place on a large 6x5 playtable which has no paylines, due to this slot utilising the pays-anywhere mechanic. This means that instead of forming symbol combinations along paylines, they are completed whenever 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere across the playtable. The value of each completed payline will differ depending on the type of symbol and the number of symbols involved. 

The Greek mythology theme is quite popular among slot games, with developers often taking inspiration from Greece’s rich history and mythology. Slots often base their designs around the various gods and creatures, with Temple of Medusa and the Amazing Link Apollo slot being notable examples.

The lower-value symbols in Sword of Ares are unlike other online slot games, as instead of featuring designs based on card values, they display different-sized and coloured gemstones. The higher-value symbols, on the other hand, are represented by different Greek-themed items such as the titular Sword of Ares, a chariot and more.

Like other slots at BOYLE Casino, Sword of Ares contains a handful of entertaining bonus features which may be triggered randomly throughout gameplay. First and foremost, Sword of Ares includes the tumble feature, which operates more like a base gameplay mechanic. This feature will remove all symbols involved in successful combinations, allowing symbols above to fall down and new symbols to also join the grid. Thanks to this feature, multiple combinations may form in the same spin, with tumbles only ending once there are no new symbol combinations. 

On top of this, Sword of Ares contains a multiplier collection feature, with there being 3 locked multiplier values present above the grid which change each spin. With every tumble, the removed symbols are collected, and after 20 symbols have been collected, the first multiplier will be unlocked. If 50 or 100 symbols are collected, higher-value multipliers will also become unlocked, with the highest-value unlocked multiplier being applied to the total of all combinations at the end of the spin. 

In Sword of Ares, there are also bomb symbols which may land on any reel. Whenever one or more bomb symbols land, they will remain on the screen until there are no more tumbles. Then, they will explode and remove all symbols in the playtable in a horizontal, vertical, cross, or X pattern. The removed symbols are added to the multiplier collection feature, and tumbles will then occur. 

If players are able to land 4 or more scatter symbols on the playtable of Sword of Ares simultaneously, then the free spins round will be triggered. During this round, players will receive 15 free spins, with there being 6 locked multipliers instead of 3. The symbol collection thresholds include 15, 30, 45, 60, 100, and 225. 

Sword of Ares is an entertaining online slot game available at Sword of Ares which blends high-quality graphics and gameplay. Some other great slot games in differing themes include the likes of Mafia Gold and The Knight King slot.
