10 Swords

10 Swords Review

This game seems to be going through a process of appealing to a broader audience. While its volatility is low to medium, you can still land solid payouts, and up to 5,000x your stake can be won in all stages thanks to the instant scatter jackpot system.

The ancient Rome theme may not be the most unique, but the visuals are still pleasing. The Ante Bet gives you multiple benefits for a reasonable price of 20 % extra per spin, and the low-value symbol to instant prize sword scatter transformation system makes the bonus round more interesting.

10 Swords Slot Features

You can turn on the Ante Bet between any base game spin, and keeping it on means you pay 20 % extra per spin. The benefit of doing that is an increased chance of triggering the bonus round, although this chance is unfortunately not specified. The RTP increases slightly if you play with the Ante Bet switched on though.

The mid to premium level symbols pay between 10 and 40 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, while the low value symbols all pay 4x your stake for the same. The Eagle Emblem Wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and it can land on all reels. The wild pays the same as the top-tier Caesar symbol should you land 3 to 5 wilds on a payline.

The Sword Symbol can appear anywhere in all stages of the game, and it’s the instant scatter prize symbol in this game. You win 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 100x, 1,000x, or 5,000x your stake from 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 sword symbols in view, respectively, and the prizes are stacked up to be seen on the left-hand side.

You trigger the Bonus Round when at least 3 Shield Scatters land anywhere in sight, and 3 scatters gives you 8 free spins. Landing 4 scatters awards 10 free spins with 2 low-value symbols already converted to Sword symbols, while 5 triggering scatters gives you 12 free spins with all 4 low-value symbols converted to Sword symbols.

Shield symbols are collected throughout the bonus round, and you need to collect 4 to convert a low-value symbol into the Sword symbol for the duration of the feature. You get +4 extra spins for the first conversion, +3 extra spins for the second conversion, and +2 extra spins for the fourth conversion. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 50x the stake.

The 200 Spins 10 Swords Slot Experience

You get a decent, yet uneventful, taste of the base game, before the bonus round is purchased. The feature plays out for the remainder of the highlights video.

Review Summary

This game jumps on the instant scatter jackpot bandwagon. It’s a popular feature, and 10 Swords comes with an innovative twist. You get to eliminate the low-value symbols, and replace them with Sword symbols, increasing your likelihood of landing the 5,000x top prize. The max win comes with a specific hit rate (or an improved hit rate with the Ante Bet turned on). 10 Swords is a solid scatter jackpot installment.
