Theme, graphics & soundtrack 

The reels sit in the middle of a battlefield complete with an advancing army that moves forwards or backwards after every spin. It is a desolate-looking place with fire and smoke against a dark grey backdrop and a lightning-streaked sky. 

The music is reminiscent of old war movies complete with drums and battle cries.

Bet sizes & paytable wins. 

There are eight paying symbols. Each of the nine mini-reels within the 3x3 grid spin independently and four symbols will land on each. If the four symbols match and this is repeated across a minimum of three mini-reels, a return is generated even if the mini-reels are not adjacent to each other. The four smaller symbols merge to form a large symbol of the same value and link up to generate the return.
Only large symbols can form wins. These returns demonstrate the returns on offer for nine large symbols:

• Swords = 5,000
• Helmets = 2,500
• Horns = 2,500
• Shields = 2,500
• Aces = 1,000
• Kings = 1,000
• Queens = 500
• Jacks = 500

There is no wild symbol.

Legends of Troy - The Siege bonus features

Charged reels

Each of the mini-reels can become charged. This is signified by an electric charge around the outside of the reel, which is filled incrementally dependant on certain criteria being fulfilled.

If any of the nine mini-reels was not charged or part of a winning combination for 20 consecutive base game spins, this play area becomes charged for the next four base game spins.

A mini-reel that was not charged or part of a winning combination for 15 or fewer consecutive base game spins and is not currently charged may randomly become charged.

Returns that contain a fully charged mini-reel are subject to a multiplier:

1 charged reel = 2x multiplier
2 charged reels = 3x multiplier
3 charged reels = 5x multiplier
4 charged reels = 7x multiplier
5 charged reels = 10x multiplier
6 charged reels = 20x multiplier
7 charged reels = 30x multiplier
8 charged reels = 50x multiplier
9 charged reels = 100x multiplier

Free spins 

The free spins feature is triggered by having a minimum of three mini-reels full of purple bonus symbols.

3 bonus symbols = 7 free spins
4 bonus symbols = 10 free spins

At the start of each free spins round, a random number of mini-reels will become charged for that spin. If a charged reel is subsequently part of a winning combination, a multiplier is awarded:

1 charged reel = 2x multiplier
2 charged reels = 3x multiplier
3 charged reels = 5x multiplier
4 charged reels = 7x multiplier
5 charged reels = 10x multiplier
6 charged reels = 20x multiplier
7 charged reels = 30x multiplier
8 charged reels = 50x multiplier
9 charged reels = 100x multiplier

Free spins cannot be retriggered.

Legends of Troy - The Siege review: our verdict

If ever a slots game needed a how-to guide, it is this one. It is certainly different to most slots available to play online but we are not convinced that it will become a player’s favourite; in fact, those who prefer an easier playing style might soon be waving the white flag. If the Troy theme appeals but a less taxing game is preferred, we recommend the Treasures of Troy slot by IGT.
