Disc of Athena

A slot from Gamomat based on an Ancient Rome theme, and is another one of the book games that Gamomat has and it has 5 reels 3 rows and 10 lines with a min bet of 0.10 if you play all 10 lines.

As with most book games the disc not the book is the wild and it will also be acting as a scatter symbol to trigger free spins games. This is a common thing with book type games that gives you that scatter and wild combo.

The slot like all book slots has the feature game where you will require at least 3 scatter symbols that is the disc scatter symbol to appear on the reels and that then starts a symbol selection where on the screen a wheel appears and the symbols are being randomly selected until it stops and gives you the selected special symbol that will expand if you land it during the feature. You will start with 10 free spins and if you get 3 or more scatter discs then you get 10 additional spins and so on.

As with all gamomat games there is a nice gamble feature that is nice to have in slot games and there you can do the card game or the ladder method to increase your wins if you feel lucky. This is something that most slots used to have but some of the new slots don’t anymore.

The sound and music is suitable for a Ancient Rome theme and Gamomat does good in this area as always with their slots so no complaints from me in this area. Play the slot with sound on to get the best experience.

I found that during my real money play on this slot that I was able to get the feature in just over 50 spins and luckily for me it paid just over 50x. I would play this slot again to try my luck on it to see if I can get another feature and improve on the first one. Gamomat has so many book type slots and it is good to have a variety of them to play.

As for the RTP that is with this slot, it runs on exactly 96% and that is what I played it on and I like that Gamomat slots are all at 96% or higher.

What can I say about Disc of Athena to not like, nothing much really since I gave it less than 100 spins and it hit the feature during that time. Perhaps cause it has a set number of lines at 10 so you can’t play less lines if you wanted to and that is a small dislike about some slots but no big deal.

The 'Disc Οf Athena' comes from Gamomat Software, in a classic grid of: 5 Reels/3 Rows/10 Paylines/Ultra High Variance. This slot offers: Innovative Gamble feature/Scattered symbols/Wilds/Free Spins/Potential, up to 5.000x bet.
The main theme presented by the slot, transports the player back to Ancient Greece and specifically close to 'Old Temple Of Athena'. An Archaic temple located on the Acropolis Of Athens, between the 'Older Parthenon' and 'Erechtheion' built around 525–500 BC, and dedicated to 'Athena Polias' the patron deity, of the city of Athens. It was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC, during the Destruction of Athens. It was located at the center of the Acropolis plateau, probably on the remains of a Mycenaean palace. The complex, is sometimes described by the name "Dörpfeld foundations", after the archaeologist who found the location of the temple. It was referred to, as "Archaios Naos" (Old Temple) by the Greeks.

However, it is not mentioned anywhere in Greek archeology, for the 'Disc of Athena'. Most likely, the people in charge of the whole design of the slot machine, included the famous and mysterious object of the Ancient Greek era, which is called 'The Disk of Phaistos'. Now, back to review!

As an admirer, of the Expanding symbol it is quite difficult for me to avoid High Variance. In addition, Gamomat Software, is renowned for creating Simple and Exciting but Popular with Highly Volatile titles as: Roman Legion/Roman Legion Xtreme/Fancy Fruits/Book Of The Ages. 'Disk Of Athena' apparently, is one those Hungers which tends to approach the 'Roman Legion' series (the only slot title from Gamomat provider, which included in my Banlist). At this point, let me emphasize that in relation to the other providers, My Banned list includes More titles from: Microgaming/Playtech/Pariplay/NetEnt - Than - Gamomat/Mercur/Amatic!

In closing 'Disc Οf Athena' needs special attention in the rest of your Balance. It took more than 700+ spins on 0.20 c per spin to land the Bonus feature, so proceed with Caution!

After trying out all of the available Book games from Gamomat, I then came across one more similar game, but without the book title. It is entitled Disc Of Athena. Hmm, that made me wonder why a disc title instead of a book, but I soon later found out why, and I now have this impression that the disc title actually suits this game more.

Everything about this Disc Of Athena game is identical to most of Gamomat’s other Book games, in the sense that they all have excellent win values for the symbols, and all having the same maximum possible single win of 5,000x the stake amount. However, the graphical presentation of this game is not at par with the others, and it doesn’t even look visually attractive enough to grab players attention. Why this drop in overall presentation level is not apparent to me, except maybe due to this game being done by another team of designers and not by the usual team or teams.

Disc Of Athena is not only different in its title and its visual impression, but I also found out the game play is not similar either. How so? Well, I’m familiar with lots of Book games, by various game providers, and I’ve also experienced how each game can vary in its gameplay. In short, this Disc game simply doesn’t play or pay as good as any of its other Book siblings game! How so again, right? The first free spins feature game came within 200 spins, just as in the other games did as well, and the payout was more or less standard too, a 23x win.

From thereon, the game seemed to have taken a totally different path altogether. Dead non-paying spins came one after another, continuously for over 20 spins at a time, for many times on end. After doing over 900 spins, still no free spins feature game came. By that time, I had already run out of credits, and I ended my play session with smoke billowing out of my ears! Yes, Disc Of Athena played so blardy badly that it is possibly the worst game in Gamomat’s directory of games.

Luckily though, I continued playing this game at another casino, on that very same day, and the very first feature game paid a nice 219x win. Oh boy, was I relieved! Nonetheless, it took me over 300 spins to get that free spins game, or over 1200 spins in total just to get this one good win, and that didn’t impress me at all. In fact, I am actually hating this Disc Of Athena game!
