Sabaton

Sabaton Game Features

The Sabaton slot has 10 fixed paylines across its 5 reels. Its symbols depict members of the band, as well as military icons and images taken from the band’s artwork and videos. The Wild is the biggest symbol, awarding a 1,000x payout for 5 on a payline and also substituting for all other main game symbols.

The Wild depicts the lead singer, Joakim “Jocke” Brodén, with the word “Wild”, so you can’t miss it. The four other band members serve as the main game symbols—each of them striking a pose with their instruments, and each of them backed by a uniquely colored border.

There are no standard playing card icons here. Instead, the lower-paying icons consist of a Spartan Helmet, Air Force Helmet, Sword and Shield Crest, and a Grenade. It pays homage to the military style of the band and ensures there are no filler symbols spoiling the aesthetic.

There are a few features to look out for in this one. First, you have the Chained Reels, which can activate at random during any non-winning spin. It works by “chaining” two or three reels together. These reels synchronize to display the same symbols and could lead to big payouts if those chains complete winning paylines.

Last Stand is also randomly activated. It chooses one or two reels at random and turns them into Wild Reels. It’s similar to the Metal Stacks feature, which chooses a feature at random and then stacks it on the reels. And then you have the Mega Symbols, whereby all of the band members can appear as giant symbols to fill multiple spaces.

If that’s not enough to pique your interest, Sabaton comes with a Free Spins bonus. Look out for the Scatter, depicted by the “S” logo. It comes as a standard Scatter and a Mega Scatter and leads to the Battalion Spins feature.

Battalion Spins is the main act and the encore rolled into one. This monstrous feature awards 7 Free Spins, and as all of the three middle reels are linked, you essentially have a giant symbol in the middle. It can also be re-triggered an unlimited number of times, with 9 more spins added to the total each time.

The game’s maximum payout of 5,000x is available during the Battalion Spins.

Verdict: Worthy addition to the rock slot arsenal

With more features than you can shake a sword at, a power metal soundtrack, and some eye-catching visuals, Sabaton from Play’n Go is a slot that will appeal to fans of Swedish power metal, as well as anyone who appreciates a well-made slot game. It is another string to Play’n Go’s impressive music-themed bow, and it’s a worthy addition.
