How the Game Plays

Sword of Ares takes players into Greek mythology with the God of War theme. The slot uses a 6×5 grid where wins are formed by landing at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the reels—no fixed paylines required. Low-value symbols are gemstones in various colours, while high-value symbols include swords, shields, chariots, and helmets. Every winning combination triggers cascading reels, removing winning symbols to allow new ones to drop in and potentially create additional wins on the same spin.

Multiplier Collection System Explained

A multiplier meter sits above the reels, unlocking multiplier values as winning symbols accumulate during cascades. In the base game, the first multiplier (×2, ×3, or ×4) unlocks when 20 symbols have been collected in wins. If symbol collection reaches 50 total, a second multiplier (×5 to ×8) becomes active. These multipliers apply to the final payout of all cascading wins within a single spin sequence, potentially creating massive win combinations.

Free Spins Explained

Landing four or more Ares scatter symbols triggers 15 free spins. During free spins, the multiplier system expands to six levels—unlocking multipliers as high as 500×—dramatically increasing win potential compared to the base game. Scatters also pay between ×3 and ×100 depending on how many land.

Bomb Symbol Feature

Golden bomb symbols appear on the reels and activate during cascading wins. When a cascade occurs with a bomb present, it removes all non-winning symbols from the board, clearing space for new symbols to drop and expand win opportunities.
