We’re getting a Spartan themed slot machine, inspired by the famous battle of 300 warriors against the mighty Persian army. They stopped their advance, allowing the Greek armies to form and fight them back, but it cost those warriors their lives. It’s a hugely popular theme these days, with movies being released and with several slots using the story for inspiration as well.

The graphics of 300 Shields Extreme are pretty good, inspired by the original 300 Shields for the most part. We’re seeing images of a warrior, of shields, sailboats, arrows or swords, but there are also a lot of Royals which get a Greek-style design and a lot of arrows sticking out of them. Overall, it’s more than decent design wise.

Developer

This is a company with over two decades of history behind it, as NextGen Gaming has been founded back in 1999, when the online casino industry was still in its infancy.

These days, the company has offices in cities around the world, and it has an impressive collection of slot machines, ranging from Medusa to 300 Shields. A series of branded titles is also part of the developer’s collection, though typically they’re not the biggest names around, just secondary celebrities and TV series. 300 Shields is one of their series, as is Foxin Wins.

How To Play It

You get the option to select a bet for the 25 lines available, and the range within which it will fall is $0.25 to $12.50. This allows for a bet of up to $0.50 to be used each round.

The Buy Pass option is present, and by paying 60x total stake, you can get access to the slot’s free spins. 300 Shields Extreme has 5 reels & 25 active lines. It doesn’t require you to do anything special, it’s a fairly regular slot machine in most respects.

Special Features

You will encounter Warrior icons in the game, with the helmeted face of a Spartan showing in it. This one is your wild, so naturally you can have it substitute for other symbols. It pays on its own, up to 1,000x, provided that it manages to land up to five times on the same line.

Next, pay attention to the Shield scatter as well, as with 3 to 5 such symbols there are free spins to be had. 5 free spins follow, where all wins involving wild symbols will double in value.

Having 2+ Shields collected will get you another 5 free spins, where wild multipliers are at 5x. If you have 6+ Shields collected, then the wild multiplier gets to 25x, plus you receive another 5 free spins. Finally, if you have at least 12 Shields collected, you get another 5 free spins, with an incredible 300x wild multiplier.

Access to the free spins can also be bought, though you pay 60x total stake for that.

Maximum Payouts

It’s truly an impressive game, if we look at the kind of potential it has. The highest rewards that the game will deliver, of up to 17,773x total stake, can stand next to any of its competitors.

What I’m less of a fan of, the RTP of 300 Shields Extreme is announced at 95.3%, a below average level.

Summary

Featuring a variety of good features, decent graphics and huge potential rewards, 300 Shields Extreme is a game to consider seriously. You will find that it has some issues as well, and I’m mostly referring to its 95.3% RTP here.
