The tale of the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae has long been a popular theme for storytellers. The epic movie 300 was based on their exploits, as is this five reel slot which uses Playtech software. It's clear that Novel Gaming are fans of the film too as they've included Leonidas themed wilds, Spartan scatters and free spins which include expanding wilds.
Sparta Slot Theme
A single Spartan sword is used to set the scene behind the Sparta slot logo. The mountainous landscape made famous in the film can be seen in the background whilst the buttons and option selectors are styled to mimic granite stone.
The real design work is saved for the reel graphics and sound effects. Graphics include Spartan soldiers, Leonidas, ships, pottery, swords, shields and a mixture of golden characters which span from 9 to ACE.
The most detailed, and undoubtedly our favourite graphic, is Leonidas who appears as an expanding wild during regular and free spins. Not only does this create more wins but also prompts a leaping animation of him with sword in hand - it's like 300 but in slot form!
Betting Options and More Functions
There may have only been 300 Spartans at Hells Gate, but this number pails in comparison to the betting options available. You can spin the reels from 0.01 to $1,500, an astounding range which will appeal to all.
Sparta Slot Features
Expanding wilds can appear on reels 2, 3 or 4. Whenever Leonidas appears on these reels he will search out a win and if present spring into action to fill the entire reel with wilds. It's an awesome sequence, made all the more exciting with sound effects and the added winning opportunities.
The Spartan Hoplites symbol will award 15 free spins with x2 multipliers if three or more occur in any position. Once again these spins play to a different adrenaline filled tune with every win doubled before being added to your running casino balance.
Our Take on Sparta
Spartan stories and mythology is epically popular in today's society. Recent films such as 300 and the upcoming 300: Battle of Artemisia have thrilled the masses and this slot has the same effect for action movie fans. We found the bonuses bountiful and feel the 200k jackpot will be a big draw for many too. If you're planning to check out the slot be sure to use the balance boosting offers from our forum. Oh, and don't forget to shout "This is Sparta"!
