Sparta Legacy: spin a reel of shields, then play the free spins

GOOD LUCK in big red letters, and a row of round shields sliding past a gold frame. That was the first I saw of the Sparta Legacy bonus, and it caught me off guard because most Live22 slots go straight into free spins.

The shields are the extras you can land before the round starts. The ones I could read were 5 MORE SPIN, 3 MORE SPIN, 2x SPARTAN WILD, COIN and SPARTAN WILD REEL. Mine stopped on 2x SPARTAN WILD, which is the picture at the top of this page, with a green START button under it.

Base game

The reels are stone-coloured tiles with gold card letters and a cast of bronze-helmeted warriors: a spearman, an archer in green, a face in a crested helmet. A purple WILD sits on reel four and a black JACKPOT banner with a helmet on reel five. The message line says 2 scatter symbols award free spins, which is fewer than most games here ask for.

Up top the four jackpot bars read 243,249, 67,144, 32,292 and 24,248 in that screenshot, with HONG KONG in the room badge.

The free spins

The background switches to a stormy blue sky. By spin 3 of 5 the TOTAL WIN box showed 146 on a 40 bet. Reel five had filled with a red, roaring Spartan, and a round coin marked 2x WILD had landed on reel four.

For Greek gods instead of soldiers, Zeus D' Mighty is also on the Live22 list. The Live22 overview covers the app.

18+ only. Online gambling is restricted in Malaysia, so if you get a Live22 game ID, set your limit before the first top-up. More at responsible gaming.
