Way back in 479BC Greece was invaded by the Persians. Warriors fought in a battle known as the Battle of Plataea which resulted in a triumph for Greece. Are you maybe just a little intrigued? Well, WMS thought it was interesting enough to create 50-line slot game based on it.
Plataea is a unique slot game with the thrilling Hot Hot Super Re-Spin feature and also includes a free spins bonus.
“Plataea” Characteristics
This slot game is based on a historic battle and the symbols get the point across with shields, ships, warrior helmets and swords. You will be fully equipped to wage war to gain the treasures of Plataea. This slot also features scatters which trigger the free spins bonus feature and a warrior’s face which serves as the wild.
Players may bet anywhere from 0.40 to 200 per spin. The maximum payout is 1,000 which is a bit disappointing but you can’t go wrong with the two for one on your bet. With 50 paylines you are only required to bet 0.25 with an additional 0.15 for the “Feature Bet”.
Plataea has Auto Play as well as two betting panels which include the Classic Panel and the Quickbet Panel. A slider bar including various betting options is built into the Quickbet Panel.
Special Features
The features are amazing in Plataea. The Hot Hot Super Re-Spin has to be one of the most nail biting experiences in slot play. Fill the first reel with shields and the re-spin feature is triggered. Your remaining reels will spin 2 additional times giving you the opportunity to gather more shields and wilds. One aspect of this that can be frustrating is that you never know what symbols the shields will reveal until the re-spins are complete. They must connect on an active payline or you win nothing and may be left feeling like your time has just been wasted.
Three feature symbols trigger a round of 10 free spins. The feature symbol only appears in reels 1, 2 and 3. During free spins, the wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. The Hot Hot Re-Spin feature may occur during free spins and the feature may be retriggered awarding an additional 10 free spins.
Conclusion:
Plataea can be frustrating to play when you get caught up in the drama of the Hot Hot Re-Spins and you end up with a losing spin. The free spins may also result in small wins more often than not. You will fight to the death to win this battle of man against slot game.
