Amazons Spear - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Amazons Spear is the new online slot from the folks at CT Gaming. This title is a five-reel, three-row slot with up to 25 paylines. As the name suggests, Amazons Spear centres on a pair of female warriors, with the spear being the wild symbol.

Other symbols in the game include a warrior's helmet, golden harp and the standard playing card symbols. Look out for a golden amulet, which is the scatter symbol. In addition to triggering the free spin bonus feature, the amulet also provides the biggest win on the reels.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The whole visual design of the game is fixed around the Amazons and their questing. From the design of the reels to the background, everything looks well designed and relevant to the theme.

Symbols are bright and colourful, with subtle animations when symbols are involved in winning combinations. Of particular note is the wild spear animation when it expands, as well as the flaming reaction to a big win.

Reels animate smoothly, with the final reel slowing down dramatically for effect on occasions where a big win may be on the way.

There is no real soundtrack to Amazons Spear - simply the annoying sound which accompanies the reels halting as well as win sound effects, which include a satisfying thud when winnings hit your bank. Another sound of note accompanies the wild expanding, which also triggers a win jingle.

Amazons Spear RTP and Variance

Amazons Spear has a long-term average RTP of 96.62%, putting it well above the average for games of this type. The high volatility of this title means that there are some big wins up for grabs, but these will usually take patient play before they are achieved.

How to Play Amazons Spear

1. It is always a good idea to check out the paytable when opening a new game for the first time. The paytable sets out how much can be won when winning combinations of symbols appear on the reels.

Within the cog menu is the option to select the line bet level as well as the number of active paylines, which affects the total bet.
