R8 Million Wisdom of Athena 1000 Win at World Sports Betting
World Sports Betting, one of our featured South African brands, recently announced a significant win.
The win came from the Casino section of the site, where a player was enjoying Pragmatic Play’s Wisdom of Athena 1000 slot game on Tuesday the 4th of August. What happened after they spun the reels was nothing short of miraculous.
It’s a shame we can’t appreciate the win quite as much as we might have been able to if the size of the bet had been revealed. Nevertheless, there’s nothing that can take away from the incredible result, which was a staggering R8,000,000.00 win, and one of the biggest we’ve covered on SAGames so far.
There’s no evidence to confirm that the win was the result of the game’s maximum multiplier, but given the perfectly round figure and the sheer size of the payout, you wouldn’t be foolish to assume that it was.

Wisdom of Athena 1000 (Pragmatic Play) Mini Review
Pragmatic Play’s Wisdom of Athena 1000 is a 6-reel, 5-row video slot set in Ancient Greece. It features Athena and a range of themed symbols, including scrolls, vases, helmets and shields, while an additional locked row is progressively unlocked through consecutive tumbles.
The game uses an 8-symbol cluster-style win requirement, with winning symbols removed and replaced during tumbles.
The main feature is the progressive unlocking of the extra row, which requires increasingly long tumble sequences to access all positions. Multiplier symbols worth x2 to x1,000 can also appear, with their values added together at the end of a tumble sequence.
Landing 4, 5 or 6 scatters awards 10 Free Spins, with the unlocking progress and accumulated multiplier carrying through the feature. Three or more scatters during Free Spins add five spins.
The slot has a 96% maximum RTP, high volatility and a maximum win of 10,000x the stake.
After spending his earlier years studying music technology while figuring out what he really wanted to do, things gradually fell into place for Jake and it was a combination of his love for sports and his A-level in English Language that pulled him through. Combining his linguistic capabilities with his passion for Southampton Football Club, he quickly mastered the art of writing letters of criticism to the club’s chairman. He now spends his weekdays (and often evenings) writing sportsbook and casino reviews so that you know where to wager on Saints’ next 0-9 defeat.
