Shield of Sparta

The theoretical payout percentage scores well above average at 96.50%. Will Shield of Sparta come out of the test unscathed or will the slot end up like the real Spartans? Everything you need to know about the slot and what Correct Casinos thinks about it you can read in this review.

How do you play Shield of Sparta?

To win in this slot, at least 3 symbols of the same kind must land directly next to each other on a payline. The first symbol must land on the far left reel, because combinations are only valid if they are made from left to right.

During the bonus you may land multiple multiplier symbols.

As soon as the slot machine is started you can start playing immediately. The bet is already set for you at $2, but if you prefer to play with a higher or lower amount you can easily adjust this. The options for this, along with the other settings, can be found below the game area.

A total of 10 different symbols are present in the game. Of these, 8 have a paying function, with the Spartan soldier having the highest value. The 2 symbols that remain have a special function. These both trigger their own bonus feature.

Bonus features of Shield of Sparta

Shield of Sparta is not full of bonus features, but the ones that are there certainly provide some entertainment. Which features there are, what they do for you and how to trigger them you can read below.

Wild symbol

The first special symbol that Correct Casinos encountered in the slot was the Wild. The Wild can replace any paying symbol in the game, so if 1 or more of them lands in your field, your chances of winning immediately increase significantly. The Wild can land anywhere and at any time in your field.

Respin

The other special symbol is the Scatter. There are 2 variants of this: the normal and the Magnetic Scatter. If 2 of the Scatters land on the field at the same time you are rewarded with a Respin. This increases the chance of a third Scatter landing on the field.

Free Spins

If at least 3 Scatters land on the field at the same time, you trigger the Free Spins. How many Free Spins you get depends on how many Scatters land simultaneously:

• 3 Scatters: 10 Free Spins
• 4 Scatters: 15 Free Spins
• 5 Scatters: 20 Free Spins

The Scatters that land in your field mark the box they land on. If another Scatter then lands on the same position, the play area is upgraded. There are a total of 3 levels to unlock.

If a position in the gaming area is marked with a Magnetic Scatter, this also becomes a Magnetic gaming area. This attracts other Scatters that land in the field so that the level goes up. If a Magnetic Scatter lands during the feature, it turns into a Magnetic position.

If at least 3 or a maximum of 5 Scatters land at the same time during the feature, you will again earn 10 to 20 Free Spins. Correct Casinos has been able to discover no limit to this. At the end of the Free Spins, each highlighted play area gives a multiplier with a random value. The levels play an important role in this:

• Level 1: multipliers of x1, x2 or x3
• Level 2: multipliers of x5, x6 or x8
• Level 3: multipliers of x10, x12, x15 or x20

These multipliers are applied to any winning combination they are part of.

What does CorrectCasinos think of Shield of Sparta?

The design reflects the theme well in all elements. Both inside and outside the gaming area, Sparta is very present.

The betting range is wide enough that players with any budget and experience can actually take their chances, but the maximum win of 3,000 does not provide a huge prize.

CorrectCasinos was able to have a reasonable amount of fun with the features, but they are not very innovative or unique. There is a feature missing that really brings something Spartan with it and that is a shame.
