Game Overview

We all have our favourite online slot theme, whether it be candy, fishing, branded titles, or games based on ancient Egypt. Of course, those few are merely scratching the surface of what is available for us to play in this digital age, and another popular genre of slot game we’ll be looking at today is that of ancient Greece. So, let me introduce you to the Quickspin slot Shields of Lambda, a 5-reel cluster pays game with an RTP of 96.13% and a maximum win of 9,926x bet.

Will there be enough features in Shields of Lambda to please the gods? Quickspin has tried their best to ensure they’ve reserved themselves a seat at Olympus, including some interesting mods and bonuses, starting with the colossal wild symbols that can land on any losing spin. The game’s main feature, however, is the Lambda Meter, which is filled when special Lambda symbols are collected underneath winning symbols. Once the meter is filled, the unity bonus triggers, where one low-value symbol populates the entire playfield before activating reel cascades for more chances to win. The Lambda Meter also features in the free spins bonus, but this time around, it takes less collected symbols to activate it.

The art of defence is key to all battles, especially when you’re up against an online slot. With the spoils of this particular war being a max win of over 9k, it makes perfect sense to hone your skills before entering the field of battle. As always, we’re here to oblige and have the Shields of Lambda demo slot for you to practice on free of charge below.

Shields Of Lambda Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Shields of Lambda slot paytable

Those of you seeking out free online casino slots with a Greek theme won’t have to search very far here on Demoslot, as we have a whole section dedicated purely to Greek slots, so make you work your way through those the next time you’ve got a bit a of spare time on your hands. I’ll throw you a couple of personal recommendations to get you started, with the iSoftbet slot Olympus Zeus Megaways being worth a few spins, and a favourite of many visitors to our site that you just have to play is Pragmatic’s Zeus Vs Hades slot.

There’s still plenty to get through in our slot review of Shields of Lambda yet though before you head off, and our next stop is the pays section, where at the top of the paytable, we have four symbols all sharing the top spot with the Lion, Goat, Ram and Owl all worth 30x the bet for clusters of 25 symbols or more. The lower-paying symbols in the game are made up of the classic royals, with the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack all returning 15x the bet if 25+ make up a winning combo.

Quickspin slots tend to stick with the same staking structure, which can be seen in the betting options in Shields of Lambda. The minimum price to start the reels spinning begins at a budget-friendly €0.20, whilst those with bigger bankrolls can play as high as €100 a press.

Shields Of Lambda Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Shields of Lambda slot base game

Played on a reel matrix of 5×5, Shields of Lambda is a cluster pays slot, with players needing to land five matching symbols adjacently anywhere within the playfield for the corresponding paytable win to be paid.

Wilds & Colossal Wilds

The wild symbol doesn’t have a payout value of its own, but when it lands on the reels, it substitutes for all regular symbols. Furthermore, on any losing spin, a colossal wild can drop onto the playfield to help you create a winning combo.

Lambda Symbol & Lambda Meter

Before each spin, lambda symbols are added to random positions on the reels. If a win occurs on one of these spots, the lambda will be added to the meter above the reels. When 70 have been collected, the unity feature will be triggered.

Unity Feature

One random low symbol populates the whole reel grid when the unity feature is triggered. A win is triggered, and new symbols then tumble into play. On the following tumble, the next symbol in the hierarchy is added to the tumble. The feature will continue until there are no more winning tumbles.

Shields Of Lambda Slot Bonus Features

Shields of Lambda slot free spins feature

During the base game, if 3, 4, or 5 scatters land in view, the bonus round will be triggered, and 10, 15, or 20 free spins will be awarded, respectively. Players then have the choice to gamble their spin value up to a maximum of 20 via the gamble wheel. However, it should be noted that losing the gamble will end the bonus and send you back to the base game.

Free Spins Feature

While the free spins are active, the Lambda Meter is lowered to 20 symbols. Once this amount is reached, the Unity Feature will begin, but this time, a progressive win multiplier is in play that starts at a value of 1x and increases by 1 for each subsequent win, with no limit on the value it can reach. If the Unity Feature is re-triggered, the multiplier does not reset between features.

Bonus Buy

If the bonus buy element of Shields of Lambda is active in your jurisdiction, you can instantly trigger the free spins at the cost of 70x the current bet.

Pros

The lambda meter is active in all aspects of the game.
Low free spins bonus buy price of 70x the bet.

Cons

Without filling the lambda meter in the free spins bonus, you'll struggle to win anything significant.
Variable RTP models of the slot are available for operators to use.

Shields Of Lambda Slot Review Final Thoughts

They might not always strike a chord with me, but I have to credit Quickspin for always thinking outside the box and trying something new with their slots.This was again the case with Shields of Lambda, and whilst I'm not sure it's a slot game I'd repeatedly play, I can see how some players might find it interesting and fun.
