Shield of Sparta Slots
The rushing ocean water, the high protruding cliffs, and the gorgeous sunset are resting in the reels' background. From a purely visual perspective, Shield of Sparta tells an ancient greek tale. While this isn't the only ancient greek slot to hit the slot market, this is one of the better ones. From a provider like Pragmatic Play, I expect nothing less. They always go all out with their visuals. The board includes images of warriors, swords, ships, chariots, and more. This historically based slot is about a clash between armies. This slot is highly volatile and includes bonus rounds and a favorable RTP value. The standard RTP is 96.5% or 95,5% or 94.5% depending on some factors. You can play this game using a mobile device or tablet both in regular real-play mode and demo mode. The bets begin as low as 0.30 and can be increased to up to 100 EUR per spin. This board is a 5x3 grid and there are 20 pay lines.
The lower-paying symbols on the board are the typical J, K, Q, and A symbols, which pay out 5x for five. The medium symbols are 15 to 25 times the stake for five of them and are the picture symbols like chariots, catapults, warriors, and ships. The wild symbol on this board is a warrior wild and can substitute for all symbols apart from the bonus symbol. There are respins in the base game, and the free spins rounds come with a total win multiplier.
Bonuses
This game has two different bonus symbols: the regular bonus symbol and the magnetic bonus symbol. Each of these can show up on all reels. When these symbols lock in place, the rest of the symbols will respin, If you trigger three or more bonuses or the magnetic bonus symbols, you'll trigger free spins. If you land three of these symbols you'll receive 10 free spins, if you land four you'll receive fifteen free spins and if you land five you'll receive twenty free spins. While the free spins rounds are active, when a new bonus symbol lands in the marked position, the position upgrades up to three levels. The positions that held the magnetic bonus symbols are now magnetic positions, and they can nudge any bonus symbol that lands near them on that reel. Get it - it's magnetic! I've never played a game with this specific feature - so this was a great surprise element. Towards the end of the free spins round, all marked positions will show a random multiplier depending on what level they reach. If you're level one, you'll receive a multiplier ranging from 1x to 13, if you're level two, your multiplier range is x5-x8. If you are level three you'll receive an x10, x12, x15, or x20 multiplier. When the multipliers are added together, the value is added to the total of the free spin round. While this feature is active on the board, landing magnetic bonus symbols will trigger free spins. Three triggers ten, four triggers fifteen, and five triggers twenty.
Conclusion
This genre of game can be a very competitive market - there's so much to compare it to. Similar to Egyptian slots, ancient greek slots are really popular. The maximum win for this board is 3,000x and the magnetic bonus symbols were the star of this board.
