The Hot Gates shudder and shake under the weight of the million-strong Persian force headed straight at you. At their head sits the benevolent figure of Xerxes who has sworn death and destruction on you, your family, your nation. You and your 300 brothers are all that stand in his way. A wall of shields proudly displaying the Lambda symbol. Your symbol. The symbol of unity. The symbol of freedom. The symbol of Greece.
Shields of Lambda is a stunning, 5-high, 5-reel cluster-pay game that comes complete with a persistent Lambda Meter that fills to trigger the Unity feature, a Colossal Wild and the Ferryman’s Free Spins round where the Unity feature has a growing multiplier.
It is available with 4 RTP models in the shape of 96%, 94%, 92% and 87% to ensure healthy margins in all markets and a wide reach.
Story behind the game
Herbert Paradis, Producer: “as a student of history, the part of this game I love the most is the content. The battle of Thermopylae, the tale of the Spartans and the Persians, is something that has captured my imagination since I first read about it. Being able to make such a visually stunning 3D game, combined with player-favourite mechanics is a dream come true. It looks good and, most importantly, it’s really enjoyable to play. And, a little trick from the pro’s, make sure you fill the Lambda Meter, that’s where things have the potential to get exciting.”
