300 Shields Game Information
300 Shields is a 5-reel 25-pay line online slot from NextGen. This slot takes you back to the ancient days of Sparta when according to legend King Leonidas lead 300 soldiers into battle against the invading Persians, commanded by the god-King Xerxes, who controlled around 300,000 troops.
This legend was later immortalised in a graphic novel by legendary artist Frank Miller, and then turned into a movie that starred Gerard Butler and Lena Headey.
The ‘300’ (historic sources claim the actual number of Spartans involved was closer to 7,000) held off the ‘300,000’ (history: between 100,000 and 150,000) for seven days before finally succumbing. You will no doubt be pleased to learn that the odds offered while playing 300 Shields are much better than 1,000-1!

300 Shields Gameplay and Symbols
Symbols in this game are all depictions of the legend, plus the Ancient Greek playing card values nine to ace. There are arrows, swords, boats and archers, all depicted in front of an idyllic background of some serene Greek countryside.
The 25 pay lines are fixed, but you can set your coin size, from 0.01 to 20.00. Because the lines are fixed, your bet-per-line is always your coin size multiplied by twenty-five. This makes the minimum wager 0.25, and the maximum a shield-bashing 500.00.
There are plenty of jackpots available, and to win one you simply need to land three or more identical symbols in sequence from the left-hand reel on one of the pay lines.
The smallest pay out is for three nine or tens, which pays four times your bet-per-line. The jackpot amount in normal play is for five archers or ships, which pays 250x your wager.
Playing the game is a simple as selecting your coin size and hitting the spin button. Don’t forget to yell ‘THIS … IS … 300 SHIELDS!!’ in a very loud voice if you win the jackpot.
300 Shields bonus features
300 Shields Wild Symbol: Very appropriately, the warrior symbol also acts as the wild symbol and the jackpot symbol. If you land five warrior symbols in sequence on an active pay line you win 1,000x your bet-per-line. The warrior symbol also substitutes for all other symbols aside from the shield symbol.
300 Shields Scatter Symbol: The shield symbol acts as the scatter symbol, and landing at least two anywhere on the reels will win you double your stake at least. Scatters symbols do not have to land on a pay line to win you cash, and obtaining the maximum of five will win you 100x your wager.
300 Shields Battle Feature: If you land at least three shield scatter symbols anywhere, you’re through to the Battle Feature bonus game. Here, you are awarded five free spins in which any win containing a warrior symbol is doubled. During the Battle Feature bonus game, you can collect more shields as they appear on the reels:
• If you collect between two and five shields, you win another five free games in which all wins containing a warrior symbol are multiplied by five.
• If you collect between six and eleven shields, you win another five free games in which all wins containing a warrior symbol are multiplied by twenty-five.
• If you collect more than a dozen shields, you win another five free games in which all wins containing a warrior symbol are multiplied by three hundred!
Free spins can be re-triggered during the Battle Feature if three or more shields appear on the reels after a free spin is completed.
300 Shields Conclusion
300 Shields is a real battle-buster from the guys at NextGen. This may look like quite a simple slot on the surface, and indeed it mainly is during normal play but once you get into free spins mode the game becomes genuinely exciting as you count up the shields and progress through the multipliers.
Hopefully when you play this game, your casino balance will not look ‘spartan’ – quite the contrary in fact!
