300 Shields Mighty Ways Slot Review

300 Shields Mighty Ways Slot Overview

Having recorded smash hit successes with 300 Shields and 300 Shields Extreme, NextGen Gaming returns to the Spartan theme with 300 Shields Mighty Ways. In common with its predecessors, this slot’s battlefield draws inspiration from one of history’s most famous fighting forces, and a certain Hollywood movie based on their exploits. Set in what looks to be a pretty serene area of Sparta, with rolling fields, blue skies, and beautiful buildings, you could be forgiven for expecting a tranquil slots experience. However, the marching soundtrack, complete with thumping drums and clashing symbols, suggests that battle may not be far away. Once those reels start spinning, the game assaults the senses with Cascading Wins, an innovative Mighty Ways mechanic, and Free Spins Bonus. Escape your tussle with the Spartans intact, and you may emerge victorious with a max win of 30,000x.

How To Play 300 Shields Mighty Ways Slot

The action unfolds on a 6x3 layout, initially offering 729 winning ways. However, as we shall see, this tally of 729 may increase massively as the game unfolds.

Blood-spattered wins are triggered by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, moving from left to right and beginning with reel 1.

Standard playing card values, 9 through to A, are the game’s low-paying icons.

Thematic Arrows, Swords, Ships, Helmets, and Archers then provide the premium symbols, rewarding you with 1.5x-10x for six in a row.

Wild Symbols

A roaring Spartan Warrior acts as the Wild Symbol, substituting for all other standard symbols to help create winning lines.

Mighty Ways Cascading Wins

The game employs the popular Cascading Win mechanic. Each time a win is registered, the winning symbols will explode in a burst of blood, to be replaced by additional symbols dropping from above. This process will repeat for every winning combination, creating the possibility of rewarding chain reaction wins. However, this isn’t your usual Cascade feature. Those Spartans have put a rather mighty spin on it.

Every symbol involved in a winning line will be replaced by not one, but two symbols dropping from above - resulting in the number of positions on the affected reels increasing. Each reel may expand to hold a maximum of 8 symbols, boosting the number of winning ways from 729 up to a maximum of 262,144. All hail Mighty Sparta!

300 Shields Mighty Ways Slot Features

On top of the Might Ways cascade mechanics, this slot comes with two Free Spins Bonus rounds - both offering the chance for huge wins, thanks to Warrior Wild multipliers going up to 300x!

Multipliers Strike in Free Spins Bonus

The game’s Scatter Symbol arrives in the shape of a Spartan Shield.

Land three or more to trigger the Free Spins Bonus.

3x Scatter symbols = five free spins
4x Scatter symbols = seven free spins
5x Scatter symbols = 10 free spins

The Bonus Round sees the action switch to a rocky outcrop set on the edge of a stormy sea. Lighting flashes, thunder claps, and your spins begin. The round uses the standard set of reels, but any wins which contain a Warrior Wild symbol will have a 2x multiplier applied.

Keep an eye out for the Shield Scatter Symbol during the round. Collect enough of these and you will see both your number of free spins and the value of the Warrior Wild Multiplier increase. There are three levels of progression during the round, activated as follows:

2x Shield Scatters – five additional free spins with Warrior Wild Multiplier increased to 5x
6x Shield Scatters – five additional free spins with Warrior Wild Multiplier increased to 25x
12x Shield Scatters – five additional free spins with Warrior Wild Multiplier increased to 300x

In addition to this, any time you land three Scatter symbols on the same spin, you will automatically be awarded five additional free spins at the current multiplier level.

Super Free Spins Bonus

The game also offers the opportunity to enter a turbo-charged Super Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered by landing six Shield Scatter Symbols during the base game.

As in the standard Free Spins Bonus, you will initially be awarded five free spins, however, the value of the Warrior Wild Multiplier will immediately be set to 300x!

Other than that, Super Free Spins functions in the same way as the standard bonus, with five extra spins awarded for the collection of 2-12 Shield Scatters, or should three Scatters land on the same spin.

300 Shields Mighty Ways Slot RTP & Volatility

With a return to player setting of 95.99%, the game falls almost bang on the industry average of 96%. However, It is worth being aware that this is a variable RTP, with operators able to select alternative options of 94% or 90% should they wish.

This game falls into the high volatility category. You should expect more low-paying and dead spins than you would in a medium or low-volatility game, but when those bigger payouts do come around, they may be richly rewarding.
