300 Shields Slot

  • A true penny slot, with spins from 00.01 per game
  • Accumulate 12 shields to win the massive 300x multiplier during the bonus round
  • Another popular NextGen Gaming slot

The 300 Shields slot machine is a NextGen Gaming slot game released back in 2014 that, of course, is themed around the story of 300 Spartans who fought Persians at Thermopylae. There are many men who are huge fans of the 2006 movie starring Gerard Butler, hence the 300 Shields slot caters to that group. The slot has a highly rewarding free spins feature with four levels, where the final level gives you a massive 300x multiplier on your wins!

The 300 Shields slot has 25 paylines and the player can choose to play from 1 up to 25. The minimum bet per payline is 00.01 and the maximum is 00.50, so the minimum to cover all paylines is 00.25 and the minimum bet per spin is 00.01, making this a true penny slot. The maximum possible bet is only 12.50, which is a bit low and the high rollers will probably avoid this game, preferring something with higher stakes such as the ever popular Fruit Warp. The maximum bet on the £500 jackpot FOBT version of 300 Shields is £2.

300 Shields Slot

There are only six symbols with artwork on the 300 Shields slot, Sword and Arrows as two low-paying and Persian and Galleon as the high-paying. On top of these are Scatter which is represented by a shield, and the Wild which is represented by a Spartan warrior. There are also six low-paying card symbols, but they don’t pay as little as is sometimes the case in other slot games.

The graphics are good enough, all symbols are nicely drawn, which especially goes for card symbols which don’t get in the way too much. The 300 Shields slot was designed with a mobile-first approach, as is obvious from the huge Spin button, and therefore the symbols are slightly enlarged, and the game plays nicely on all devices, however it does actually look a little small on desktops.

When three or more Scatters land on the reels, a free spins bonus game with 5 free spins will be triggered. All wins with a Wild symbol will be doubled during the free spins game. During the bonus, you collect Scatter Shields and with these you can trigger the next levels of the game where you’ll get new free spins with a bigger multiplier. The final level is reached when 12 or more Shields are collected, and you get a multiplier of 300x on all Warrior wins. This is the ultimate goal of the game and can result in some huge wins which is likely the main reason the 300 Shields slot has a maximum stake of 12.50 per spin.

The theoretical return to player (RTP) of the 300 Shields slot by NextGen Gaming is 95.30%. Such payouts are usually reserved for classic slots, though it’s not that tragic when you actually play the game. This is pleasant to play and you don’t get the feeling that it’s robbing you of your money, especially not if you trigger the free spins game and advance a level or two to get those huge multipliers! Getting them is the goal of every slot player who plays 300 Shields, and it will make a difference between winning or not. In any case, 300 Shields is an enjoyable experience and a solid slot game which will appeal to many players, but fans of the movie in particular.
