Spartan King

Spartan King slot by Pragmatic Play spins us into a volatile 4x5 battlefield where 2×2 Shield Wilds can come with a multiplier of up to 25x to help you count your winnings and protect the King.

Design

Pragmatic went for a clean-cut, smooth, and simple look for this release. Ionic columns frame the 4x5 reels with 40 paylines, and behind it, we can catch a glimpse of a wavy sea as an epic tune plays along. On the spartan crimson reels, we get four golden J-A royals as low-pays and five high-pays - an amphora, sword, bronze helmet, ship, and a warrior with a sword. The King is a Wild and the highest paying symbol, paying out 20x for five of a kind.

Maths

Spartan King is a high volatility game, rated 5/5 on the provider’s meter. The default RTP is 96.60%, with the max possible win of 7,494x your bet.

Features

Pragmatic’s spartan approach to this slot continued when it came to picking out the features; we only get two, but they can go hard.

The big 2×2 Shield Wilds can appear randomly on any spin, both during the base game and the bonus. During the base game, this symbol acts as a regular Wild, substituting for the pay symbols.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 red banner Scatters will award 8, 10, or 12 Free Spins, in that order. The feature retriggers the same way.

During the Free Spins, 2x2 Shield Wilds get a multiplier function and can randomly land with a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, or 25x that applies to the total win on that spin.

Wrap-up

Spartan King is straightforward in both its design and gameplay. The bonus round gets quite thrilling if you manage to land multiple Shields at once and get the multipliers to stack. Check out this 307x win from Chipmonkz Slots.
