shield of sparta slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Sparta was a prominent city-state in Laconia, a region of ancient Greece. The term is much more recognised these days by the Spartan Warriors, who originated from the region due to the city's importance to the former Greek Empire. Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War, which took place between 431-404 BC, from which it emerged victorious; however, the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC ended Sparta’s hegemony in military terms. Sparta remained politically independent until it was forced to integrate with the Achaean League in 192 BC. Why not check out Athens Megaways if you enjoy slots with this type of theme?

As for the paytable, a Spartan Warrior takes the top spot here and is worth 25x your bet for each complete pay line of five-of-a-kind. A Spartan Warship is next, returning 20x your bet for all five symbols, whilst a medieval trebuchet takes the third-placed spot paying 15x the current stake for a completed pay line. Two warriors on horseback share the same payout of 15x for five-of-a-kind, after which there are just four further royal symbols on the paytable, all of which pay 5x the current bet for all five symbols. The wild does not have any premium on top of the normal payouts, so you will receive the same 25x return if you should be lucky enough to score a five-of-a-kind combination of those. A little disappointing, no doubt, especially as the bonus scatters have no cash reward attached to them either. 

Pragmatic Play always uses the same wager selection setup; two buttons on either side of the spin control allow you to increase or decrease your bet quickly, but you can also change the number of coins per line and coin value for more granular control if you wish. However, you choose to use these options; the minimum permitted wager is limited to €0.20, whilst the maximum of €100.00 is more than enough for even the highest of high rollers.

base game & MODIFIERS

Base gameplay in Shield of Sparta is very much typical; the game plays like a regular slot in every regard here, with a five reel, three row layout sporting 20 fixed paylines. All winning combinations require at least three matching symbols on a payline starting from the left.

Sadly, there are no base game modifiers to talk about, and with no bonus buy facility available, you’ll have to be patient and wait for those bonus/magnetic bonus scatter symbols to drop into view before you can experience the bonus round. On that note, let’s move on!

shield of sparta slot bonus features

The bonus and magnetic bonus symbols appear on all five reels. Hitting any three of these will immediately trigger the free spins feature, whilst landing just two of them will award a free re-spin, giving you a second shot at landing that all-important final scatter and triggering the bonus round.
