Spartan Fire - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Spartan Fire continues on a theme that slots have been using for a decade or so. The glorification of ancient Greek warriors is typical for online slots. In this Lightning Box release you will play on five reels and 40 active paylines.

There is a lot of potential for prizes, with a grand prize of a 5,685x multiplier on your original stake. Accompanied by high volatility and a modest RTP, the game’s features are also special enough to make up for some of the downsides.

Overall Theme

Going all the way back to ancient Greece, we learn about the warriors of Sparta, who have been recognised for their courage and strength. As in the Sparta's Honour slot, symbols will celebrate with male and female warriors, shields, chariots and trireme ships.

RTP & Volatility

Spartan Fire has a low RTP rate set at 95.85%. This coupled with the high volatility makes for a challenging game where prizes are few and far between. If you plan to play for real money, make sure to set a realistic budget as the risk is so high it can be easy to get carried away waiting for those big ones which may never come.

Spartan Fire Bonus Features

Wild Symbol

There are three different wild symbols - the face mask, a male and a female warrior. You can tell they are wild because they have the word wild written across them. These can substitute for any symbol in the game apart from the scatter.

Scatter Symbol

Keep an eye out for the shield scatters landing on the reels. Three of them will enter you into the bonus round, where free spins are also up for grabs.

Spartan Spin Feature

The female and male warriors are in fact extra wilds that are part of the Spartan Spin feature. The Spartan Spin can trigger at random, turning these two symbols into extra wilds for that one spin. This gives you more winning potential than if there was only one wild on the reels.

Spartan Fire Bonus Round

When you land three or more of the scatter symbols you will trigger the Spartan Fire bonus round before receiving six free spins. Here you will be taken to a separate screen for a pick and click game. The screen will give you ten different shields to choose from, each with its own reward. If you’re lucky, you could win one of the following prizes.

WI + LD - Two extra wilds will be added to the reels during the free spins.

+1 & +2 - Gives you one or two extra free spins on top of your original six.

Multipliers - Win an impressive multiplier up to 30x on your original bet which will be applied to all wins during the free spins round.

When the two crossed swords symbol unlocks your pick is over and the free spins will start. This is why you want to be able to pick as many of the shields as you can before this symbol unlocks. The more prizes you get, the more winning potential there is in your free spins round.

Our Verdict

Spartan Fire may not spark too much interest because of the generic theme and presentation. It’s a game in a very populated genre that does little to stand out from the crowd. That being said, the bonus features are good, especially the pick and click bonus round that helps you beef up your free spins with multipliers and other extras.
