Pragmatic Play launches new Ancient Greece-inspired title Sword of Ares

iGaming industry content provider Pragmatic Play has announced the launch of a new Ancient Greece-themed slot title, Sword of Ares. The game is set across 6×5 reels, implementing a pays-anywhere mechanic.

Chariots, shields, and swords fall onto the matrix, with eight or more of these needed to trigger a win. All winning symbols are removed from play and replaced via a tumble feature with new symbols, allowing for additional wins to be formed.  

A multiplier collection feature sits above the reels with three varying multipliers being unlocked when milestones of 20, 50, and 100 winning symbols are gathered. These provide a boost to all wins gained and players are aided in unlocking these multipliers by a bomb symbol. When triggered, these remove all symbols from the screen in a horizontal, vertical, cross, or X pattern, with removed symbols also contributing to the multiplier collection feature. 

At least four scatter symbols are needed to award entry to the free spins round with players being awarded 15 free spins. Here, the multiplier collection feature is split into six progressively higher values with up to 500x multiplier being able to be unlocked. 

Sword of Ares follows in the footsteps of recent launches such as Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping It Reel, Candy Stars, and Muertos Multiplier Megaways which reside amongst a collection of over 250 titles in Pragmatic Play’s award-winning games portfolio.   

🗡 The Greek God of War has gathered his troops in search of glorious rewards. Marvel at the adventure in Sword of Ares™, an action-packed pays-anywhere slot with a staggering max win of 10,000x! 💥

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: "Sword of Ares provides a crescendo of excitement with bigger multipliers being unlocked through the creation of multiple wins. This feature is further built upon in the free spins round and with a max win of 10,000x, Sword of Ares will provide some surprising rewards throughout."

Earlier this week, and in line with its expansion plans, the provider announced the extension of its strategic partnership with gaming giant bet365, to deliver bingo content.
