10 Swords Slot Review

10 Swords Slot Overview

It is off to Rome we go in 10 Swords, as top online developer Push Gaming presents their take on the era of Gladiators, Colosseums, and Laurel Crowns. Should you channel your inner Centurion to take this game for a spin, you will find several enticing features lurking amongst the columns, including Sword Symbol Instant Wins and a Free Spins Bonus complete with converting symbols. Earn the favour of Caesar, and you may return to the modern day clutching a 5,000x max win!

The graphical quality is right up there with the best you will find in the slot’s world, and overall, the game successfully creates a sense of time and place without being too in your face. It is, however, the game mechanics which elevate this slot to a higher level. That top-end RTP of 96.41% is excellent for a low-medium volatility release that still manages to offer a decent max win of 5,000x, whilst the presence of the Instant Wins sword creates a healthy balance before the thrills and spins really begin in the sword-stacked bonus round. Hail Caesar!

Here's a guide to all the paylines on offer in 10 Swords:

10 Swords Slot Features

Eagle Emblem Wilds

May appear on any reel and help create or extend winning combinations.

Sword Instant Wins

Given the title, you would expect swords to have some significance, and they certainly do. Sword Symbols may appear on any real, and any time four or more slice into view on the same spin, you will bag an Instant Win Prize as follows:

Four Swords: 2x
Five Swords: 5x
Six Swords: 10x
Seven Swords: 25x
Eight Swords: 100x
Nine Swords: 1,000x
10 Swords: 5,000x

Stake Boost

Selecting this option from the left of the reels increases the cost of each spin by 20% but boosts your chance of triggering the Free Spins Bonus.

Free Spins Bonus

All good Roman Soldiers always went into battle with a little protection, and Shields duly serve as the game's Scatter Symbols.

Landing three or more on a single spin will send you marching into one of three Free Spins Bonuses.

3x Scatters = eight free spins
4x Scatters = 10 free spins with two low-value symbols converted to Sword symbols
5x Scatters = 12 free spins with all four low-value symbols converted to Sword symbols

Any Shield Scatters that land during the round will be added to the Low Symbol Meter to the left of the reels. Every fourth Scatter collected will see a low-value symbol converted into a Sword symbol, and add a number of free spins to your tally:

1st Symbol Conversion = four additional spins
2nd and 3rd Symbol Conversion = three additional spins
4th symbol conversion = two additional spins

Bonus Buy

Whilst unavailable in the UK, players in eligible jurisdictions can move straight into the Free Spins Bonus via the Bonus Buy feature.

Priced at 50x the total bet, this option will randomly award a three, four, or five Scatter Bonus.

Our Verdict: The Sword Instant Wins add plenty of excitement to the base game, but the feature becomes much more fun in the bonus round. Keep converting those low-value symbols and adding to your free spins tally, and a bumper payout begins to feel like a real possibility.

10 Swords Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.41%	Yes	Low-Medium

The top-end return to player (RTP) percentage of 96.41% is a decent nudge above the industry average RTP of 96%.

10 Swords sits squarely in the low-medium volatility category, meaning you should expect a smooth gaming experience, with regular low-mid level wins and the occasional big payout.

Our Verdict: At 96.41%, the game represents excellent value for money. The alternative lower setting of 94.41% isn’t quite so good. We always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice.

10 Swords Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

10 Swords takes place far from the Colosseum or battlefield, with blue skies, rolling clouds, rustling flags, and greenery providing a soothingly tranquil backdrop. The richly detailed Caesar and Centurion characters and gleaming Sword Symbols steal the show, but even the stone interpretations of the playing card values mesh nicely with the setting.

10 Swords (Push Gaming) 1 — Base game spins

10 Swords (Push Gaming) 2 — Low value symbol winnings

10 Swords (Push Gaming) 3 — Wild symbol on the reels

10 Swords (Push Gaming) 4 — Wild symbol winnings

Audio

The game employs an innocuous soundtrack, which does little to disturb the relaxation of the garden setting. Dominated by gently yearning strings and organs, the ambient noise rises to a gentle gallop with the addition of marching drums, but that’s as high-octane as it gets. The reel effects grab much of your auditory attention as the Scatters arrive with a grunt and the Swords with a convincing slice.

Our Verdict: Push Gaming rarely disappoints with their audio and visual quality and have delivered yet another highly polished release. The resolution of the game symbols – particularly the low and medium pays – is impressive. The soundtrack could possibly have been more impactful but does help to create a pleasantly relaxing vibe.

10 Swords Slot on Mobile

Caesar may not have had a mobile tucked into his tunic, but that doesn’t mean modern slots fans can't enjoy 10 Swords on the small screen - the game is fully compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows-powered devices.
