Heroic Spins

Theme and Design

Roman Soldiers, Princesses and One-Eyed Monsters Star In This Quirky Slot

Heroic Spins has an Ancient Roman theme, invoked with 3-d cartoon graphics, and bizarrely also featuring strange one-eyed monsters, lizards and owls in the paytable. The hero himself looks to be the Roman solider standing to the right of the reels. And there is a princess of sorts who perhaps needs saving from the monster. Quite what the owl is for is anyone’s guess, but there is no narrative supplied so you can make up your own! The backdrop is a sun-drenched port with azure blue sea and skies and white stone buildings. It’s not a bad-looking game, if a little random in its design, reminiscent of the kind of things Fantasma or Peter and Sons might create.

RTP and Variance

Heroic Spins runs with 3 possible RTP rates – 96%, 95.04% and 93.99%. As ever we recommend that you play at the highest rate for the best chance of a positive return on your wagering. MrQ casino from Lindar Media consistently runs Pragmatic Play slots at the max RTP settings so it makes a good choice.

If you are playing elsewhere then you can check the RTP for yourself by hitting the ‘I’ button under the reels then browsing through the game rules until you see Return to Player, usually on the same page as the volatility score, which in this case is a 5/5, or very high. That means you can expect an uneven win distribution but the chance to hit some big win sequences when free spins, expanding wilds and multipliers all combine in rare but powerful ways!

Maximum Win

Heroic Spins has a max win of 10,000x which is good. That means you can win £10,000 with a £1 bet. If you enjoy chasing the big wins and want more from the same provider, check out our list of Pragmatic Play’s highest max win slots.

Symbols and Paytable

Heroic Spins uses a simple 5 reel and 3 row game format with 20 paylines to win on. You’ll need to line up 3 or more identical symbols on a line from left to right, starting at the left most reel, to trigger a win.

There are 10 pay symbols in the table. The lower value ones are the card suits, diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades, and one other weird shape added to make up the numbers! These are valued at from 0.25x for 3 up to 1 for 5. The premium value symbols are the owl, the monster, the treasure chest, the dragon and the princess. These are valued at from 0.5x for 3 owls up to 5x for 5 princesses.

There is also a wild, represented by a goat of some kind. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for any pay symbol to complete a payline.

Features and Gameplay

Gameplay is enhanced in Heroic Spins by a combination of free spins, wilds and multipliers. This is how it works.

Expanding Wilds and Multipliers

When a wild lands on the reels it will automatically expand to full reel height every time. And if two or more land on the same reel, when they expand they create a multiplier to be applied to all wilds on that reel. If 2 wilds are involved, that makes a 2x. If 3 are involved, that makes a 3x. And so on.

Any win that passes through any of the wilds on the reel has the multiplier value applied to it. And if more than one wild reel with multipliers is involved then the multipliers are multiplied together. So a 3x and a 2x would create a 6x multiplier.

Free Spins With Bigger Multipliers

The free spins round in this game takes things to the next level.

The round is triggered by landing 3 or more scatters represented by our hero in Roman soldier’s uniform. The number of spins you get is determined by the spin of a wheel. You may get 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 50.

On the same wheel are multiplier segments. These will determine the value of a win multiplier to be applied to ALL wins during the free spins round. The possible values are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 10x, 20x, 50x or 100x. 

But that’s not all. As in the base game, all wilds that land during free spins expand to fill the entire reel they are on. And now, their own multiplier values are enhanced. So, one expanded wild on a reel takes a 2x multiplier. Two wilds expanding on the same reel take on a 4x multiplier. And three wilds expanding on the same reel take on a 6x multiplier.

And that is the lot!
