Teutoburg

The Teutoburg Forest is a well-known landmark for military history, the battle that has taken place there over 2,000 years ago is still remembered and studied all over the world. It ended with the victory of the underdogs, the Germanic tribes, who managed to wipe out three mighty Roman legions. 

That great victory is now celebrated by the game creators at Spearhead Studios through Teutoburg, a video slot that tries to take you back in the middle of that fierce battle. 

Theme

The action takes place in the Teutoburg forest, we can see a Germanic warrior on the left side of the screen ready to defend himself against the charge of a Roman mounted legionnaire that sits on the opposite edge of the reels. 

All the buttons are designed in the shape of painted wooden shields, and they look quite authentic. The background is slightly animated and that is a nice touch as well, while the background music contributes to the war-like atmosphere. 

This title was most likely aimed towards German players, something that Spearhead Studios have already tried successfully with Black Forest. 

Betting Options and Functions

There are 5 reels and 3 rows in this video slot, with 9 fixed paylines. You will need at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels to form winning combinations, but only from left to right. 

The minimum bet is just 9 cents per spin, while at the other edge of the betting range you can go up to at most 90 euros. The return to player percentage is 96.07, which is in line with the industry average. 

Features

The symbol that shows a clash between a Roman soldier and a Germanic Warrior is the Wild in this game, helping you form winning combos by replacing any other icon. Moreover, the Wild symbol can also carry a prize multiplier of x2, x3 or x5! 

The green shield with question marks painted on it is the Mystery Symbol, when it lands it will transform into either Roman or Germanic icons. The great thing about it is that it can only transform into high-value symbols. 

And then there’s the Scatter symbol, represented by a pair of shields. When you see at least three of these icons on screen you can rejoice, because that will get you a nice round of Free Spins. 

The most important and attractive feature of this game is the Ambush, that will kick in whenever a Mystery Symbol transforms into a German warrior that can “attack” an adjacent Roman soldier. That can lead to several different combinations, including multiplier wilds. 

Every winning spin comes with a Gamble option, in which you can double your prize by taking on a red-or-black card game or a ladder game. 

Conclusion

Teutoburg is an interesting video slot from the developers at Spearhead Studios, the theme is quite original and the whole atmosphere that the game creates is immersive and enjoyable at the same time. 

The Ambush feature is rather complicated but it will surely entertain you when it kicks in. Overall, this is a game that should attract German players with its theme, but history buffs should also give it a try.
