THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols in the game come in the form of the high end of a deck of cards, with 10 through to A. These symbols can offer between x0.16 and x4.16 the player’s stake, depending on the amount of winning combinations that land on a single spin.
Horns and ballistas depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.5 and x5.83 the player’s bet if the right amount of paying combinations land in one go.
High value symbols are represented by a red-haired female warrior and a bearded male knight. These symbols can offer between x1 and x11.66.
Wild text symbols are also included in the game, substituting for all symbols other than the scatter. These wilds can also offer a payout between x2.5 and x166.66 if the right amount of wilds land on a single payline.
Finally, scatter shields can drop into play, triggering the battle rounds game mode if six or more land on the reels in a single spin. Each shield will depict a cash value which can be won in the battle rounds game mode.
These scatters can also provide a payout between x1 and x333.33 the player’s stake, depending on the amount of symbols that land on the same payline as up to 15 shields can land at once.
THE DETAILS
Once the battle rounds game mode has been activated, players must choose to defend either the red team, or the blue.
During this game mode, only scatter shields and red hearts can drop into play as a separate reel to the side of the board spins with the main set. This side reel will reveal three flags of either red or blue, if the colour the player picked appears more than the colour they didn’t, then they will win that battle round and collect all the cash values of any shields present on the reels for that spin.
Players start with three lives, losing one for every time the opposite colour appears more on the flag reel. Heart symbols that drop onto the reels will cause players to gain an extra life if they win that round, with up to five lives available.

“Making the heat of battle determine win amounts gained is a unique concept and we are excited to see how it is perceived.”
