RTP, Details & Wager Limits
Three rows, five reels, and twenty fixed paylines make up the Shield of Sparta slot machine. Starting with the leftmost reel, all winnings are paid out left to right. Per line, only the biggest win gets paid.
Stakes each spin range from 20c to $100. To adjust your total stake, just click on the + and - symbols underneath the reels. You can also use autospins and turbo spins, but not if you're in the UK.
The generous Shield of Sparta RTP is 96.5%. It's encouraging to note that this slot is among the several Pragmatic Play machines that are above average. In essence, this means that you will typically receive $96.50 back for every $100 you spend. This is computed using several spins.
The top prize is three thousand times your bet. To be honest, it's a tad on the low side, especially given how high the variance levels are. It's not, by any means, the lowest I've seen, though. Due to the random multipliers, the Free Spins feature will provide you the best chance of winning the grand prize.
Theme
The Ancient Greek shoreline in the historical region of Laconia is where the reels are located, with waves breaking against the rocks as you spin. Although the design is very straightforward, the bold graphics are appealing, and I enjoy the symbol animations when Wild and Bonus symbols appear on the reels. When he appears on the reels as a part of a winning combination, the Warrior Wild roars, which is a wonderful touch. But after a while, hearing that nonstop can become a little irritating.
The opening audio is quite relaxing, which is very different from what I was anticipating from a game with combat and bloodshed. However, it does have a cinematic vibe to it, as if the film's main act were about to begin. The background transitions to battle mode and the audio amplifies when the bonus function is activated.
Overall, the audio and images haven't been too convoluted by the supplier, which can occasionally take away from the action in other slots. Its simplicity appeals to me.
Symbols
The lower-paying symbols on the reels are your standard A-J Royals. Chariots, catapults, ships, and soldiers are among the symbols with the highest payouts. The warrior symbol offers the highest payouts, offering 1.6, 5 or 25 times your wager for combinations of 3, 4, or 5.
Mobile
The newest HTML5 technology is advantageous for the Shield of Sparta slot. Play is possible on tablet, laptop, PC, and mobile devices. With a 53 reel configuration, it plays incredibly well on devices running Android and iOS.
Bonus Features
The Shield of Sparta slot game has just one major extra feature, but it's a terrific one. To activate it and take advantage of countless free spins and multipliers up to 20x, land 3 or more Bonus or Magnetic Bonus symbols on the reels. So that you have a better grasp overall, let's go through in more depth how this supplementary function operates.

Free Spins feature
This additional feature is activated in the base game by landing 3, 4, or 5 Bonus or Magnetic Bonus symbols. 10, 15, or 20 free spins will be given to you, appropriately. The locations of the Bonus and Magnetic Bonus symbols are modified during the bonus round. During the free spins, it can be upgraded up to three times whenever another one lands in a marked spot.
Magnetic positions will be those that were designated by a Magnetic Bonus symbol. Any Bonus sign that lands nearby will therefore be pulled in that direction. If a Magnetic Bonus symbol lands in a spot that isn't magnetic but would otherwise become magnetic.
Overall, it's quite easy on the eyes because to the straightforward graphics, and I enjoy the free spins function with the multipliers. But that's the best you can hope for. More bonus features and a higher maximum win would have elevated this slot to a higher level. Maybe a better sequel down the road?
For obvious reasons, I can't award it top ratings, but it's still a decent slot machine if you want a fun free spins feature that can produce respectable payouts. I was hoping for volatility levels to be in the medium to high range given the lower maximum win potential. It's unfortunate that it is at the highest setting.
