Slot Review
Lambda is the symbol that Spartans had on their shields. In this slot, Quickspin pays tribute to Spartans and their epic battle against Persians. That explains the studio’s choice of the imagery and the narrow route that is guarded by two warriors.
Features
Shields of Lambda is a cluster slot with a 5×5 reel set and a number of exciting features. In the main game, a 2×2 Colossal Wild can appear randomly and guarantee a win. Regular Wilds will also help boost the chances of landing a winning combination.
Lambda Meter
But the key feature that is available in both base and bonus modes is the Unity feature. Once you load a game, you’ll see a special Lambda meter above the reels. It’s filled with Lambda symbols that you see before regular symbols fall into their positions.
Every time a Lambda symbol appears in a winning position, it’s collected. And when the meter is filled, the Unity feature gets triggered. It’s easier to trigger the feature during free spins, because in this case just 20 Lambdas are enough. But you have a limited number of spins to reach the threshold, whereas during the base game, you have as many spins as you want to collect 70 Lambdas.
Unity Feature
When this feature gets activated, Shields of Lambda players get an entire screen of a random low-value symbol. This is the only time when cascades are available.
Once the initial winning cluster is removed, new symbols fall into empty spaces, and this time, the next higher value symbol is added. This most probably will land a win and another cascade. The process will repeat until there are no more winning combinations.
Bonus Gamble
Once players get 3+ scatters, they go down to the underworld and let the Ferryman take them to the final destination. But before they begin their underworld journey, players can take a gamble to grab extra spins.
3, 4 and 5 scatters get you 10, 15 and 20 bonus spins. Unless you land 5 scatters and the max number of spins, you can take risk and get more free spins. When10 FS are guaranteed, one fortune wheel spin can release +5 of them. The chances are 50/50.
But once you’ve upgraded to 15 spins and want 5 more, your chances of success improve as more winning sections are added to the fortune wheel.
Free Spins
This bonus round is played pretty much like the main game. But the key difference is that triggering the Unity feature requires not 70, but 20 Lambda symbols. And another important thing is that a progressive multiplier is introduced during the Unity feature. It grows +1 with every cascade.
Bonus Buy
To instantly activate the bonus game in Shields of Lambda, players can pay 70x bet. The price is fair, considering they can land 10, 15 or 20 spins. And there’s always a chance to improve your bonus if you get 10 or 15 bonus rounds.
Conclusion
Shields of Lambda has it all, premium visuals, an amazing atmosphere and engaging gameplay. Quickspin, once again, takes players on a journey that is incredibly immersive.
