Join the Roman army in battle with Legion Hot 1 the latest Roman themed slot from Yggdrasil which is due to be released in June2021. Features include scatters, multipliers, wilds and expanding reels.

Slot details

This slot has a low volatility and is played across 5 reels and 3 rows, with 243 -1,125 ways to win . It has an RTP of 96.37% and is playable across all devices from 10p up to £100 per spin.Legion Hot 1 is the 1^st slot to be designed by Hot Rise Games in collaboration with Yggdrasil. The design has been well thought out as you start off in a peaceful meadow with mountains in the background, and progress to Rome where the battles commence.Symbols are J to Ace royals, helmets, eagles, deer, lions, axes and gold coins. The latter is worth x16.66 your wager for 5 on a payline.The Roman soldier is the wild symbol and can substitute all regular symbols.

Gameplay

Bonus symbols consist of blue, red, green and purple shields which only appear on the 2^nd-4^th reels. The shields are collected and there are 3 levels to progress through.1 shield adds another symbol to the bottom of the reel it appears, 2 adds another symbol to the top of the reel, 3 will add a x2 multiplier to both top and bottom positions and 4 will activate the free spins feature.You will receive 10 free spins, with the bonus shields acting as x2 wild multipliers. On the final spin, one the centre 3 reels is selected, and x2 wild multiplier is added to the top and bottom positions.

Verdict

Legion Hot 1 would be a good game for novice players, but I doubt it will appeal to more experienced players. The low variance should in theory give you more frequent wins, but the top prize is only worth x2,525 your wager.
