Heroes & Beasts - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Step back in time to Ancient Rome where you’re invited to arm yourself and fight to the death in this Booming Games slot. Become a gladiator and see if you have what it takes to come out victorious in this epic battle, helped by special features such as scatters, free spins, expanding symbols, and substituting wilds.

Theme and Story

Be transported to a packed arena where the reels are filled with weapons and beasts. The likes of swords, helmets, bows, and spikes are the lower payers, while the likes of lions and bears offer the greater rewards. 

Heroes & Beasts RTP and Variance

As is the case with so many Booming Games demo slots, it can be hard to find what the official theoretical return to player ratio and variance is meant to be. The average RTP for an online slot is around 96% and most Booming Games’ offerings are near to this mark but you will have to decide for yourself if this is the case when it comes to Heroes & Beasts. Obviously no 2 playing sessions will ever be the same and no wins can ever be guaranteed when you play an online slot but trying out a game in free demo mode can be a good way of finding out how it plays and whether it might be a good fit for you and your playing style.

How to Play Heroes & Beasts

This choice of Booming Games demo slots features the same controls as many other games. If you have never played the likes of Gold Hunter from Booming Games before, however, here’s some handy hints to get you started:

1. Use the toolbar beneath the reels to set the number of paylines you want to play and how much you want to bet on each one. There are up and down arrows to make this easy. The minimum number of paylines you can play is 5 and the maximum is 20.
2. There is a max bet button if you want to jump straight to the top bet allowed. Just make sure that, if you use this, you have the budget to back it up. Always bet responsibly and never be tempted to bet more than you can reasonably afford to lose.
3. Your bet is made up of your chosen number of lines multiplied by your line bet to create your total stake, which is displayed in the bet box above the reels. This is also where you will find your balance displayed.
4. There is a speaker symbols which controls the sound effects and a musical note that controls the music. Hit either one to turn the sounds on or off. 
5. There is an autoplay option. Press the auto tab and decide how many autospin rounds you want the game to play without you having to press start each time.
6. The pays tab above the reels gives you access to the paytable. This will change to show you what wins are on offer according to how much you have decided to bet.
7. The i button is what you need to hit if you want to read more information about how to play the game and what special symbols and bonuses are included in the game.

Please play Heroes & Beasts responsibly by setting yourself an affordable and sensible budget for each play session. Never chase losses and ensure you stick to your limits. When the fun stops, stop.

Heroes & Beasts Bonus Features

The lion is the free spins scatter and will earn you the free games bonus if you manage to land 3 of him anywhere on the reels. Three lions will result in 10 free spins. You can earn 10 more bonus games as you play by landing another 3 or more scatter symbols.

One of the best features of this game is the random expanding scatter bonus that can appear during the free spins. These expanding scatters can land at any time and can cover whole reels to help you to create winning combinations. You will get to hit stop at the start of the free spins bonus to decode which of the icons will be your special expanding symbol. If 3 or more land on at least 3 different reels, they will expand vertically to cover the whole reel.

Heroes & Beasts also has a gamble feature after wins that allows you to take a chance in the hope of increasing your prize. This is a typical, 2-choice, double or nothing gamble game that takes place on a second screen. There are also standard wild symbols, which can replace other icons to help you to build the best win possible.

Heroes & Beasts Review

This is a reasonably attractive-looking game with a clear player interface and a nice choice of bonus features. The free spins with the expanding symbols are particularly appealing and you can never go wrong with a substituting wild. We just wish that Booming Games was a bit more forthcoming with its information about RTPs and variance levels.
