Spartacus Legendary Warrior Slot Review

Released in March 2019, this game can be played at online casinos such as Casumo, Guts or LeoVegas.

Theme and basic information

The title of the slot really says it all. Here we get yet another Spartacus slot, who was indeed a legendary warrior. The story of Spartacus has been told many times now and he’s been featured in quite a few slots. Spartacus used to be a gladiator who eventually led an army of freed slaves against the Romans only to fail in the end.

This slot celebrates his legend, though it also puts him back into the arena instead of the field. We get an unusual reel setup with 5 reels and 10 rows, 5 of which are hidden in the base game. Thus, we get 50 paylines in the base game, which can expand to 100 when a feature is triggered.

Also, the reel symbols are somewhat simple. We get the card suit symbols alongside battle axes, helmets, a war chariot, a lion and a sword and shield. The scatter is the arena and the wild simply says WILD.

The three gladiators that show up on the left-hand side of the reels look great though. Here the graphics department shows what it can do. Those three warriors also show up in the expanded wilds, giving them a cool edge.

The Spartacus Legendary Warrior logo is the highest value symbol in the game, paying 100x our stake for 5 on a payline. The wild is of similar value. Lion and chariot pay out 40x our stake for such a win and helmet, battle axes and shield and sword pay out 20x our stake.

You can play this game from 0.25 to 100.00 per spin.

Wilds expand the reels

The main feature in the base game is the expansion of the reels. This will happen whenever a wild symbol lands on the unlocked bottom part of the reels that you are playing with regularly. When it happens, the wild will expand and cover all 10 rows that are now fully visible. We also get 100 paylines to play with for the next spin.

Should more wilds land, they will also expand. However, if no further wilds land, the top half of the reels is hidden once more, and we play with 5 rows and 50 paylines.

Interestingly, should a scatter land on the covered part of the reels, it will still count and trigger the free spins, if you get two more scatters anywhere else on the reels.

Free spins in three different modes

Once you do land three scatters, you get 12 free spins in one of three possible free spin modes. Which one you unlocked depends on where the scatters landed on the reels and how they were counted.

• Recruit: Here you get simply 12 free spins without anything special that does not also happen in the base game.
• Hero: You get 12 spins and expanded wilds can have a 2x or 5x multiplier, which are multiplied with each other, if you get more than one.
• Legend: Once again you get 12 spins but now symbols win on adjacent reels instead of having to land on a payline. Wilds also have the 2x or 5x multiplier.

Combined multiplier could win you 3,125x your stake, if you get 5 of them on all five reels.

Conclusion: An action-packed slot that can win big

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Spartacus Legendary Warrior is 95.56%, which is below average. The slot offers a medium volatility and often enough you will feel as if you’re winning at least your stake bet. The game is not too hard on your budget, which is a consolation.

Plus, the base game reels expand regularly enough, though the various wilds may not always land in the best position. Still, it can be fun, and the game usually feels as if there a lot of action. In the free spins, you will mostly get the Recruit feature, but even the Hero feature is a game changer and can bring in some awesome wins.

Spartacus Legendary Warrior is a pretty good slot that is not just your run-of-the-mill game. Sometimes it feels a little sluggish when you wait for those free spins. But mostly it’ll be a fun game to play for a while.
