Shield of Sparta

Not being Ancient Greek scholars, the inclusion of a catapult symbol got us wondering when exactly they burst onto the scene. Maybe it's because you don't really see King Leonidas and the team using siege weapons in the movie '300'? After delving into the history of warfare for a bit, it appears catapults were used in Greece in the fourth century BC, though they did crop up earlier in China, India and Judah. In other words, catapults do fit right in Shield of Sparta, being a slot with a focus on fighting and warfare. If Shield of Sparta was a war, then the base game, with its lack of any sort of major feature, is like Hoplites marching to a battlefield before squaring off and staring down their enemies. Once triggered, free spins are where the action has a chance of being ratcheted up a degree, thanks to the framed position/multiplier element. As mentioned, free spins triggered relatively often during testing, so the low-thrills base game was interrupted enough to prevent it from getting overly tedious, and the framed positions leading to multipliers were occasionally interesting. The end of the bonus round phase has the potential to get somewhat tense, as random multipliers appear on the framed spaces before being added up and applied to the total round win. Don't expect monstrous results, though, as Shield of Sparta's max win has been capped at3,000x he bet. Not exactly Thermopylae levels of glory, but a number commensurate with the rest of what Shield of Sparta delivers - pretty basic gaming set in an unimaginative yet fairly eye-pleasing slot world. The framed position/multiplier feature in Shield of Sparta's free spins phase has a level of creativity to it, but it doesn't seem to be one that Pragmatic Play particularly desired to spend a vast amount of effort or resources developing.
