NextGen Gaming announced the creation of an improved version of their 300 Shields slot machine, released in 2014. The new slot, called 300 Shields Extreme, will be based on the previous game mechanics, however, the slot will feature HD graphics and a bonus purchase option using HTML5 technology. The symbols of 300 Shields Extreme remained intact and are still associated with the popular Hollywood movie “300 Spartans” in the early 2000s. Highly paid images are represented by arrows, swords, galleys and the image of an archer shooting at the enemy. An armored warrior replaces the wild, and a shield is used as a scatter, reflecting the opponent’s blows. The game reels are located against the background of the battlefield, in the distance on the hill you can see the undestroyed Temple of the Parthenon. When the drums rotate, rivers of blood flow through all the coils of the device. Free spins in the 300 Shields Extreme slot machine In addition to the already mentioned way of activating free spins for money, there is a traditional option for receiving free spins. If 3 or more scatters appear on the reels, the gambler gets 5 free spins.

Thanks to the updated concept and the appearance of the free spins purchase function, the new version of the NextGen hit can compete with the original titles of the leading developers, which are scheduled for release in 2019.
