Whenever a new Ancient Greece slot dumps down in our lap, we cannot help but wonder what people like Plato, Aristotle and Socrates would have thought about such creations, if someone traveled back in time to show them. Anyway, Parthenon: Quest for Immortality is a sequel toPyramid: Quest for Immortality, and visually we much prefer this second installment.
However, the math model is not all that impressive, not least since the potential has been lowered to1,250xyour stake per spin. The top reel wild generation feature has been carried over, and you now get a progressive multiplier bonus round to boot. Fans of the genre might find this exciting, although the base game would probably have benefitted from at least one more modifier to break up the grind.
Wilds can land anywhere on the grid, but they hold no value of their own. Instead, they step in for all regular pay symbols, as wilds usually do, and they can also be spawned in theWild Generation Zone. If a symbol on the top row is part of a winning combo, a wild is generated in the empty space.
Wilds are removed if part of a winning combo, just like any regular symbol. This is due to theCascading Wins feature, which removes all winning symbols from the grid. New and/or existing symbols drop down from above to fill the gaps, and the process repeats as long as you keep winning.
The Bonus Round is triggered whenever you land at least3 scattersanywhere in sight in a single cascading sequence. You get8 free spinsfor the minimum of 3 scatters, whileeach extra scatteryou land awards+4 spinson top of that. You win+2 extra spinswhenever you collect3 collection symbolsto fill the meter, and the progressive multiplier increases by +1 for every wild that’s generated in the top row. The multiplier can go as high as 20x.
You can check out how the base game works in the first 1 and a half minute of the video, and after that it’s all about the bonus round. We managed to max out the multiplier towards the end, and we also won plenty of extra spins. See it all for yourself by hitting the play button below.
Following in the footsteps of Pyramid: Quest for Immortality, Parthenon: Quest for Immortality comes with a more modern audiovisual presentation. This is something NetEnt usually does well, so no surprise there really. What is a bit surprising is the lower potential, but at least you have a bonus round to look forward to in this sequel.
The base game is very much a grind that leads nowhere most of the time, and it can take a good while to get to the bonus round. The wild generation zone becomes a lot more interesting with the increasing multiplier, but NetEnt needs to up their game significantly if they want to take back their former ‘leading edge position’ from top-trending developers such as NoLimit City.
Pros
Cons
Pyramid: Quest for Immortality- is the predecessor game from NetEnt, and it also comes with a wild generation zone, just like the game at hand. You need 3 consecutive cascades to increase the multiplier by +1 however, and it cannot go higher than 10x.
Almighty Gods- is a ‘book of’ mechanic slot from Blueprint, but it comes with a similar ancient Greece theme. A premium play option can land you up to 5 stacked scatter/wilds on all 5 reels, and you can win up to 50,000x in total from the bonus round.
Divine Fortune- is a popular jackpot slot from NetEnt, and there is also a megaways version if you prefer that. You can look forward to shifting wild respins, and a wild overlapping a wild creates a wild reel. The local pogressive jackpot starts at €/£10,000, and you can win up to 600x your stake per free spin.
