About

Fortunes of Sparta isn’t the first online slot to be inspired by the legendary battle between the Spartans and the Ancient Greeks, and we’re sure it won’t be the last. But, this slot game stands out from similarly themed games as it beautifully and respectfully encapsulates the final moments before the defeat of the Spartans by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC.

Blueprint Gaming is the manufacturer of the game, and it has used a haunting orchestral soundtrack with an accompanying solo female singer to emphasise the number of lives lost in the carnage. Flames lick the once-great buildings of the city in the background, and the skies are blood-red.

As well as being an epic battle-themed online slot, this game offers players a beefy arsenal of special features. Spartan Streak expands the wild symbol to cover Reel 3 before awarding limitless re-spins until no more wins are possible. Spartan Spins, on the other hand, can give you up to one hundred free spins with all Bonus symbols fixed to the reels plus the Spartan Streak feature is active throughout.

Why we love it

When you first launch the game, Leonidas leaps onto the reels to shout at the top of his lungs, “This is Sparta!” Instantly, you know that this slot means business. So, make sure you’re prepared for a playing experience that keeps you sat on the very edge of your seat at all times!

The graphics beautifully depict the Spartan stronghold, with marble columns flanking the sides of the reels, and burning flames lighting up the background. Each symbol that you see has been painstakingly crafted to depict battle-inspired characters and objects including razor-sharp swords, shields, soldiers poised to strike their enemies, gleaming breastplates, warships being rowed through stormy seas, and a Spartan goddess with her hair and white gown begin whipped by wind and rain.

But, perhaps, most impressive of all, there’s the potential to claim spoils of war worth a staggering 100,000 times your bet!

WILD SYMBOL

The large stone temple (which, according to Greek mythology should be Mount Olympus) is the game’s wild symbol, and it awards the kind of prizes that’ll make you blink in disbelief. For example, a three-of-a-kind, four-of-a-kind or five-of-a-kind all-wild winning combination pays 100, 1,000 or 100,000 times your bet respectively!

As well as potentially rewarding you with astronomical amounts of cash, the wild symbol can give you a helping hand in creating other kinds of winning combos by substituting for any symbol except the Bonus symbol.

BONUS SYMBOL

The gold “O” (Omega) character that sits on top of burning flames is the Bonus symbol.

SPARTAN STREAK

Spartan Streak is a thrilling special feature which is triggered by the mosaic Spartan Streak symbol landing on the third reel. First, the symbol expands to cover the whole reel; second, the reels re-spin with any winning symbols held in position. The reels only stop spinning when no more wins can be created.

SPARTAN SPINS

The “O” Bonus symbol always initiates the Spartan Spins feature when it appears three or more times anywhere in view. The feature awards a free re-spin with any Bonus symbols remaining in position throughout. The number of Spartan Spins you receive is determined by the number of triggering scatters as follows:

3 = 8 spins;

4 = 10 spins;

5 = 12 spins;

6 = 15 spins;

7 = 20 spins;

8 to 9 = 50 spins;

10 or more = 100 spins.

And, to top it all off, the Spartan Streak feature is active on every Spartan Spin!
