Expanding pay ways unlock 25,000x win potential

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Ways of Athena, a Greek mythology-themed title where matching mystery symbols reveal up to 43,923 ways to win.

The goddess of wisdom and warfare reigns supreme in the 3×5 slot, where helmets, shields, amphoras, and lyres line the reels. Matching mystery symbols land on reels two to five and enhance base game action, transforming into double symbols and mirroring an icon on reel one to increase the number of pay ways and boost wins.

Landing three scatters triggers the bonus round with an initial eight free spins, with each additional scatter awarding two extra spins. When mystery symbols match a scatter on reel one, they will also split into double symbols, providing the potential for 44 free spins.

During the bonus feature, matching mystery orbs are accumulated in a meter beneath the grid. For every five orbs collected, the number of pay ways assigned to mystery symbols increases up to five, and two additional spins are awarded, paving the way for 25,000x maximum wins.

Ways of Athena is the latest addition to Thunderkick’s diverse portfolio of class-leading content and supplements its ancient mythology offering that includes Sword of Khans, Odin’s Gamble, and Midas Golden Touch 1 and 2.

Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: Ways of Athena introduces matching mystery symbols which split two, three, or five ways, increasing the number of total pay ways up to a maximum of 43,923. This not only generates bigger wins but also provides the opportunity to trigger up to 44 free spins, enriching the player experience.

“This exciting concept, coupled with the popular Greek mythology theme and crisp visuals, delivers engaging gameplay that further strengthens Thunderkick’s offering on behalf of our global operator partners.”

Games Global and Stormcraft Studios dive into aquatic adventure with Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo™

Games Global, together with exclusive studio partner Stormcraft Studios, has unveiled Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo™, a vibrant deep-sea slot blending enchanting visuals with engaging mechanics to deliver a layered gameplay experience.

Building on more than 15 years of success enjoyed by the heritage title, Mermaid’s Millions, the upgraded sequel introduces the Cashingo™ and ULTRA Link&Win™ features to enhance gameplay.

Set in a shimmering underwater kingdom, the 5×5, 40-payline title unfolds among coral caverns and glittering reefs, with win potential in excess of 13,000x.

At the heart of the game is the Cashingo™ feature, where Cash and Jackpot Coins populate a dedicated grid during both the base game and Bonus Spins. Some coins appear as glowing pearls, duplicating onto the grid where they stick and accumulate.

Forming horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines awards instant prizes and jackpots, while pearls landing on occupied positions merge their values to increase potential payouts.

Further intrigue comes through the ULTRA Link&Win™ feature, activated by landing six or more coin symbols. The feature begins with three respins on a 5×5 grid, with coin symbols locking in place while the remaining positions continue to respin.

Special Seahorse Coins can unlock additional rows, expanding the reels and increasing reward potential, while boosters such as Collectors, Doublers, Persistent modifiers and Extra Life Coins can appear to increase winnings and extend the feature.

The adventure continues with Bonus Spins, activated by three or more scatter symbols to award 10 spins, where wild and coin symbols can appear Power Stacked to heighten the chance of significant wins.

Combining ocean-themed visuals with proven mechanics, Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo™ delivers a dynamic experience designed to keep players engaged.

Terence Igesund, Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios, said: “Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo™ was made to feel vibrant and full of momentum from the very first spin.

“The ocean setting gave us the perfect canvas to build something visually rich, while the mechanics keep the action evolving as the grid fills and the reels expand.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Globalsaid: “Stormcraft Studios has delivered yet another title that blends strong visual identity with mechanics that are both engaging and easy to understand.

“Mermaid’s Millions Cashingo™ captures that balance well and is another example of how our studio network continues to deliver diverse, high-quality content that strengthens the breadth of the Games Global portfolio.”
