RTP and its reliability

The stated return of 94,55 % is below average among modern slots.

Gameplay

Sparta vs the Empire Jackpot Star is Pragmatic Play's battle-themed slot on a 5×4 grid with 15 fixed paylines that pay left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost. Volatility is high. Bet range is 0,10–250,00.

The top symbols are a helmeted Spartan warrior and a red-turbaned king, followed by horse rider, elephant and battle horn as well as card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10. The largest symbol win is the warrior and Wild (five ×8 the stake, i.e. 16.00 on a 2.00 stake).

Features, RTP and max win

Wild is an expanding multiplier-Wild that, on a win, expands to the whole reel and gets a random multiplier between 2×–100× (2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 6×, 7×, 8×, 9×, 10×, 20×, 25×, 50× or 100×); multiple Wild multipliers are added together. Scatter appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5 and with three or more triggers 10 free spins where expanding Wilds stay on the grid until the end of the round. Free spins can be bought for 75× the stake. The game includes Jackpot Star: four progressive jackpots (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond) that can be won randomly at the end of a base game spin in a picking bonus (three of a kind).

The theoretical RTP is 94,55% (also with the free spins buy 94,55%) and the biggest win is 15 000× the stake in both base game and free spins. Malfunction voids all wins and plays. Exact symbol-specific multipliers are confirmed in the game paytable.
