Undefeated Xerxes

Swift and easy wins never win the war, and so the Battle of Thermopylae became a legend in its own right. Revisiting the legend with Play’n GO takes us back to the Spartan battle with Undefeated Xerxes, a Greek-themed slot armed with 5 reels, 4 rows, and 30 paylines. The end result is not just eternal glory but also a hefty potential win of 10,000x the stake. But are you brave enough? There’s no changing of history here, just a chance to revisit the legend with a captivating setting.

The game is fully playable on any device you want for only $0.10 per spin. On the other hand, bets go up to $100, making it a decent betting range with a high win potential. It’s a highly volatile game, so a bit of strategizing won’t harm you. Check out the full review below.

We have to hand it to Play’n GO. Every single game to come out of their workshop looks impeccable. This one is not an exception. Undefeated Xerxes is visually so captivating that few providers can boast such a high execution of graphics and design.

Now, the entire story of the game is set in the Battle of Thermopylae, a famous battle in which King Leonidas of Sparta fought with his 300 brave soldiers against Xerxes. Xerxes was the leader of Persian troops, which at the time were considered unstoppable. In fact, Leonidas did put up a fantastic fight and the Persian invasion was eventually halted years later. Hence, Xerxes indeed was undefeated until he was not. Yeah.

Anyways, in the game, you have a 5×4 grid at your disposal. This grid uses 30 paylines for winning combos, but a high level of volatility and a standard 96.20% RTP mean the game might be a tougher nut to crack. If you want to play the slot, prepare a bet that’s between $0.10 and $100 per round.

Game icons are the standard battle set – card royals 10-A painted on shields in full Greek-war-theme.  These are worth between 2x and 2.80x for 5 OAK. Higher icons such as helmets, swords, and armor pay from 4x to 6x. Lastly, the most important icon in the set is the Hero worth 25x for 5 of a kind.

Sadly, you must wait for Spins to unlock organically as the game does not offer you a chance to buy them. There’s no Buy Feature option.

The game is suitable for playing on any device or platform.

The highest possible bet in Undefeated Xerxes per round is $100. This is a standard betting maximum often seen in Play’n GO games and other video slots. On the other hand, the lowest bet is $0.10  per round.

As said, game icons are split into three parts – the low-value ones, worth up to 2.80x the stake, high-value ones worth 4x-6x, and the Hero which alone pays 25x for a 5 OAK.

In the end, you stand to gain up to 10,000x with Play’n GO in Undefeated Xerxes as that’s the game’s max win potential. Please be careful with wagers as the game is highly volatile and bets go up to $100 per round. Finally, the RTP is 96.20% but that’s just the optimal solution – other ones are 94.20%, 91.20%, 87.20%, and 84.20%.

Game symbols in the bloody game include Scatters that are Guaranteed, Free Spins, and Wilds (With Wild Frames).

Wilds essentially replace other icons, and in the game, they can replace any type of icon except the Scatter. Wins in the game that have a win multiplier are increased by the number displayed on the multiplier. If you have more, they accumulate. Moreover, Wilds pay 25x for a 5 OAK, just like the Hero.

Now, Wild Frames are random positions on the grid that can shine with a fancy frame. If activated, they transform any icon on that position into a Wild/Wild Multiplier. In the base game, you might have 3-4 Wild frames per round.

The other major game feature in the game is the Free Spins round. It starts with Scatters – 3 to get 10 rounds. If you get the Guaranteed Scatters activated, you will get 2 Scatters on the two initial reels.

In the Free Spins round, Wilds leave a Wild Frame behind them, and should another Wild land there, they will transform into an upgraded Wild  Frame. At the last free spin, all Frames transform into Wilds and Wilds transform into Wild Multipliers. Hero icons also get a 25x Multiplier in the last spin.

Free Spins cannot be retriggered.
