Plataea

This slot from WMS actually dates back to 2010. With Flash no longer supported anywhere, Plataea now returns in HTML5 form. Little has changed in this slot with its Ancient Greek theme. Both the design and gameplay feel very dated.

We can still give this very basic slot a maximum of 2 out of 5 stars today.

Design & Theme of Plataea

The name of the slot machine is similar to the name of an ancient Greek city on which the theme is based. Here, almost 500 years before the beginning of our era, the battle of Plataea took place in which several Greek cities together defeated the Persian army.

Around the playing field you see typical Greek decorations in the form of columns and parts of temples. The playing field consists of 5 reels and 4 rows, making a total of 20 symbols. 50 different winning lines can be used to form combinations between the symbols. Of course, the symbols you’ll find on the playing field also fit within this Greek theme.

Plataea can lust the retro slot lovers.

Technical Specifics

The payout percentage of Plataea is pretty average because it is set at 96%. The variance of the payouts is on the high side, so don’t count on winning combinations too often.

The betting options are quite wide and this will particularly appeal to gamblers who like to bet large amounts. After all, the minimum bet per spin in Plataea is $0.40 but you can bet up to a maximum of $200 per spin.

Of course, if you play with such a large stake you’ll quickly go through your budget but you can still win gigantic prizes.

Features

The basic game of Plataea is not too exciting, also the features know little to surprise.

Wids

Of course there is a wild symbol that can replace other symbols in a winning combination. This wild symbol in Plataea takes the form of a Greek soldier. The only symbols this wild cannot replace are the scatter and the bonus symbol.

Plataea vs. 3 other slots by WMS

Shield respins

The symbol of a shield has a special property. When this symbol appears it will choose a random symbol for which you will then receive the matching payout.

As with many other slots from producer WMS you can also earn respins in Plataea. If you manage to spin 4 shield bonus symbols on the first reels they will be held in place while a respin becomes active. You receive two respins. During this respin, additional bonus symbols or wilds can also be held in place, allowing you to win big prizes.

Free Spins

Land scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 and get 10 free spins. Land another 3 scatters during the free spins round and get another bunch of 10 free spins. The Hot Hot Super Respin Mode might also come into play.

Bottom Line

The Plataea slot has a decent range of features, but they somehow fail to impress. Unless you are a diehard fan of the Greek slots, we doubt it that the Plataea will make you come back.
