The battle between the Spartans and the Persians at Thermopylae was one of the most tragic events in ancient Greek history. The 300-strong Spartan army was trapped as a result of a betrayal and became sitting targets for the Persian archers. All 300 soldiers were killed. A slot game titled 300 Shields has gone live at Virgin Casino that commemorates the heroism of the Spartans.

The reels are set in the background of lush fields with the ferny grass actually swaying in the breeze. The wild symbol is the Spartan warrior in the typical helmet. This symbol also offers the largest fixed jackpot of 1,000 coins. The scatter symbol is the Spartan shield. Two or more shield symbols offer scatter payouts. The scatter payouts for five shield symbols appearing anywhere on the reels is 100 coins, which is multiplied by the total bet to convert to credits. Both these symbols exhibit animations. The Spartan warrior flashes his sword. In the shield symbol another Spartan warrior emerges from behind the shield. Another symbol that exhibits animation is the Persian archer. He fires arrows from his bow. When the Spartan warrior wild symbol helps make a winning combination with the Persian archer a battle ensues on the reels. Other symbols are the warship, daggers and arrows. The high value card symbols are crafted in Greek style and are embedded with arrows.

The 300 Shields slot game at Virgin Casino has only one feature, which is the free spins Battle Feature. But it is a free spins feature the likes of which is rare. The feature is triggered when three or more scattered shield symbols appear. The feature can extend to four stages. In the first stage the player is awarded 5 free spins with the wild warrior symbol multiplying payouts by 2. Each shield that appears on the reels during the free spins is "collected". If players collect two shields then they enter the second stage of five spins with the warrior multiplying payouts by 5. If players collect six shields then they enter the third stage of five spins with the warrior multiplying payouts by 25. If players collect twelve shields then they enter the fourth stage of five spins with the warrior multiplying payouts by 300, which is a fitting tribute to the 300 Spartans. Whenever three or more shields appear in the same spin five more free spins are awarded in the same stage. The Battle Feature not only offers a bonanza of bonus credits but is visually very appealing as well. The free spins are set in the scene of the battle. As the free spins progress to the higher stages the battle in the background gets more intense.

300 Shields from NextGen Gaming is available at Virgin Casino through the GTS platform. Virgin Casino is licensed by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.
