Bow of Artemis Slot Review

The Bow of Artemis Slot Game

Let me prepare you for the huge 8-reel, 8-row gameboard, which hits your eyes immediately after you enter this Pragmatic Play slot.

The developer’s trend of displaying the main character next to the reels also finds its way into this game. So, you’ll spot Artemis floating on the right-hand side of the grid, holding her divine bow.

Although the background in Bow of Artemis is blurry, you can tell it’s an enchanted forest with reddish lighting. In short, it isn’t the typical cloudy setup used in mythology slots. At the same time, a glossy melody and periodic comments occupy the atmosphere.

Symbols and Payouts

I’m sure you’re curious about what this video slot employs for its symbols. But I’m sorry to disenthrall you: you’re about to face the usual playing cards as part of the paytable.

As is usually the case of online slots, you should hope to win after a successful spin. In this game, you should aim for clusters of 5+ identical symbols connected vertically or horizontally.

All the payouts, as displayed in the paytable, change depending on the set bet!

The symbols here pay handsomely, with the low-win J, Q, K, and A poker signs paying 0.1-50x, 0.15-75x, 0.2-100x, and 0.25-150x bet, respectively.

However, the highs in Bow of Artemis include the Brown (Deer), Green (Wolf), and Blue (Bear). These award 0.3-300x, 0.5-500x, and 1-1000x stake, as listed.

The only symbol left is the Wild, represented by a golden “W”. It appears as part of the Lucky Wilds and Wild Pack features. And, as most of you already know, its function is to substitute for all symbols, whereby a single symbol can link to complete multiple winning combos with various symbols.    

Bow of Artemis Slot Bonus Features

We’re now in the most exciting slot review section: bonuses! In this game’s case, you’ll get tumbles, various in-game modifiers, a progressive feature, and various buy options!

Tumble Feature

This feature prompts every winning symbol to disappear from the reels. Meanwhile, all other symbols drop to the bottom of the grid, and the empty positions become replaced with new symbols from above. The avalanche continues until no more winning combos or spin features appear due to the cascades.

Spin Features

Unique colored markings can appear behind regular symbols at every Bow of Artemis base game spin. If a win happens on a marked spot, it triggers a special spin feature, depending on the mark’s color, as follows:

• The Chase Begins (Brown Mark) - all symbols on-screen disappear and are replaced with new ones.

• Wild Pack (Teal Mark) - all instances of a random symbol on-screen transform into wild.

• Big Game Hunter (Purple Mark) - random 2x2 blocks of identical symbols are randomly placed on the reels.

• Colossal Game (Red Mark) - a random 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 identical symbol block is randomly added to the reels.

• Lucky Wilds (Blue Mark) - 5 and 15 wilds will be randomly added on-screen.

• Power (Green Mark) - randomly, 10-30 random paying symbol instances are added to random screen positions.

All the spin features start after all tumbles from the current spin end, and if you win multiple features on the same spin, they’ll trigger in the listed order.

The Hunt Progressive Feature

The Hunt meter is charged by the number of winning symbols per spin. The feature starts when you reach a certain number of symbols, and the meter resets to zero when no more paying symbols explode.

Gather 105 points from the base game with tumbles and spin features to trigger level 1. It doesn’t have a starting multiplier, but if you collect 130, 155, or 185 points on the triggering spin, the feature will start with x2, x3 or x5, respectively.

The multiplier applies to all wins during the Bow of Artemis feature. The Hunt begins after completing all spins and cascades from the current spin. Also, all the spin modifiers are guaranteed to be paid once per level during the feature. The following are the levels:

• Level 2 - after collecting 140 winning symbols in level 1, a +1x multiplier is added to the total multiplier. However, you receive +2x, +3x, or +5x multipliers if you accumulate 165, 190, or 220 paying symbols on level 1.

• Level 3 - starts after collecting 140 symbols in level 2, and you get a +1x multiplier. You get the same multipliers listed above when you collect 170, 190, or 220 paying symbols in level 1.

• Level 4 - starts after collecting 152 winning symbols in level 3, with a +1x multiplier. However, +2x, +3x, and +5x are added if you collect 190, 200, and 220 paying icons in level 1.

• Level 5 - starts with a +1x multiplier after collecting 152 symbols in level 4. However, as listed above, you receive +2x, +3x, and +5x  multipliers.

The feature ends if you’ve not collected enough winning symbols to advance to the next level or all spin features from level 5 have ended.     

Buy Feature

Trigger the Hunt feature instantly from the base game after buying it for 100 times the current stake! The feature starts after all the tumbles and base game spin features. Consult the information window for the details about advancing through the levels.

How to Win at Bow of Artemis Slot

It’s infrequent to find a plethora of features in Pragmatic slots. But that doesn’t mean this online slot is complicated.

Playing Bow of Artemis follows a conventional process. You must pick an ideal bet before spinning the reels and hoping for winning combinations. Since it uses an RNG, the winning clusters will randomly hit when 5+ identical symbols touch horizontally or vertically.

Select between the minimum €0.20 and maximum €240 bets.

The Spin button triggers a single spin, while the Autoplay feature allows you to set several auto-spins. Also, the Quick and Turbospin options boost your spin speeds.

Bow of Artemis Slot RTP & Volatility

This game’s theoretical RTP of 96.05% changes to 96.02% when using the Buy the Hunt feature. Although the slot has high volatility, it can award a maximum of 10,000x bet!

The Conclusion

I’m a Pragmatic Play fan, but I’ll admit that the company hasn’t been living up to its revered name lately. However, this video slot has undoubtedly shifted my thoughts about the developer’s intentions since it neither feels nor plays as a conventional Pragmatic release.

To some extent, this game felt like Play’n GO’s Reactoonz, considering the wins charge the Hunt meter. In return, the meter triggers different modes when you collect certain features. However, there’s more to Bow of Artemis, including a tumble feature and six modifiers for improved winning chances.

Other than those positives, I can’t ignore the high volatility and high-valued bets that cater to high-risk players only. But I’m confident those aren’t enough stumbling blocks to bar you from chasing the 10,000x bet max win. Or are they? Find out by first trying the slot’s demo here!
