Shields of Rome

War-themed slots usually have vivid graphics, and this one is not an exception. As far as the features go, you will hope to trigger the Wild Fire Spin, as well as the bonus round where you can choose between different free spin options.

Layout

Rome is one of the empires that have made history. The Playtech casino game studio takes advantage of this to offer us a magnificent 5-reel, 4-row video slot, offering a total of 40 ways to win. The game is highly volatile and offers an RTP of 95.2%. Bets per spin start at $0.40 up to $500.
The symbols you will land include the standard low-value Royals, as well as better-paying swords, helmets, goblets, armour, and Roman soldiers. The golden eagle is the wild that appears only during the Wild Fire Spin feature and replaces all standard symbols to help you secure a win.

Wild Fire Spin

The feature is triggered on every 10th spin. If you land a S.P.Q.R symbol during a base game spin, that symbol position is marked with fire. On the 10th spin, all symbols marked with fire turn into wilds.

Free Spins

Land 3 bonus symbols on the middle reels to trigger the free spins feature. Once in, you will be able to choose the number of free spins and the wilds added for each free spin. You will have 4 options to choose from for this game mode: either the low volatility option where you will have 15 spins with, for each spin, 5 random jokers on the reels; or a medium volatility with 10 spins and 7 jokers added. Or a high volatility option that gives you 5 spins for 10 random jokers on the reels. And finally the Mystery Shield with 5, 10 or 15 spins with 5, 7 or 10 jokers added for each spin.

Buy Free Spins

You can secure yourself an instant entrance into the free spins round at the price of 80x your stake.

Bottom Line

Shields of Rome is a fine slot, although we expected Playtech to do better in terms of payout. So, if you are looking for a Playtech slot that can bring you a truly life-changing payout, any slot from the Kingdoms Rise series would suffice.
