Undefeated Xerxes Slot Review
A few people have not heard of the epic battle between the Spartans led by King Leonidas and the great Persian king Xerxes. Thanks to the Undefeated Xerxes game, it's easy to feel the sweet taste of no less triumphant victory and countless treasures as due trophies. For that, you will have Wild Frames & Guaranteed Scatters features, Multiplier wilds (up to x5,) and a bonus game with free spins that accumulate Wild Frames on the playfield to reveal Wilds during the 10th free spin. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? And on top of that, a brilliant chance to win the x10,000 max prize. So, let's dive into a more detailed explanation of all mentioned above.

Undefeated Xerxes Bonus Features
There are unique and originally designed bonus features present in this gambling masterpiece. So, let's become familiar with all of them!
Wild
Regular Wild substitutes any paying picture in prize sequences and pays up to x25 to the stake for 5 such pics on the win line.
Multiplier Wild
Such special symbols differ from usual Wilds only by a random multiplier attached, which can have values ranging from x2 to x5. Before applying, multipliers are summarized if there is more than one Multiplier Wild in a winning combination.
Wild Frames
This feature spontaneously triggers only during a base game, providing 3 — 4 Wild frames that are filled with regular or Multiplier Wilds after the spin ends.
Scatter
Scatter symbols land anywhere. It's a special symbol that brings x1 to the bet for 3 such pics scattered on the playfield. It's just 3 Scatters you need that landed simultaneously on the play grid in order to trigger a bonus game with 10 FS.
Guaranteed Scatters
It's a randomly activated function that makes Scatter land on the 1st and the 2nd reels. Of course, having as many as two guaranteed Scatters hugely increases your odds of a bonus game triggering.
Free Spins
Unfortunately, there is no way to get any extra FS to those initial 10 FS. During the first nine free spins, here is a vice versa to the Wild Frame feature situation when any landed Wild creates a locked-in-place Wild frame. If another Wild falls at the same place that is already occupied by a regular Wild frame, the frame is upgraded.
And by that, we mean turning a regular Wild frame out into a Multiplier Wild frame. And only within the last 10th free spin, all Wild frames turn into regular and Multiplier Wilds. Also, the Hero symbol takes a solid x25 multiplier in case of landing within the final spin of a bonus game. Just imagine how much all that increases your chances for a huge win.
Our Experience Playing Undefeated Xerxes
Make yourself comfortable since you’re about to get familiar with the real experience of playing this slot on money. To get such, we did 300 spins using €1 stake per spin, whereas the overall game balance was precisely €200.
The first hundred spins pleased us with three activations of the Wild Frames feature that earned €7.1. Also, the Guaranteed Scatters function triggered twice granted us two bonus games with free spins. Both FS rounds altogether gave us €55.7. The number of regular wins was 26 (€0.5 — €6.6), including ten that appeared lower than the €1, our initially chosen stake level. As a result, upon the 100th spin, the balance was €204.6.
The second hundred spins weren’t as exciting as the previous one due to the absence of free spins or even Wild frames. The number of base game wins decreased to 23 (€0.5 — €5.9). On top of that, the quantity of those prizes that appeared less than the bet was a little bigger, 13. So, it’s nothing surprising that after the 200th spin, there was only €135.3 on our game balance.
Luckily, within the 3rd hundred spins were as many as 5 Wild frames that brought us an overall €16.5. Also, we were surprised with the 3rd FS round, earning another €62.3. The number of regular cash prizes was almost the same as in the previous 100-spin round — 24. Their amount varied from (€0.5 — €6.7), whereas the number of wins, which became less than the stake, was, again, 10. Yet, the final balance result was even lower than our initial deposit, which amounted to €200. After the 300 spins, we had only €142.5. Hence, we lost €57.5.
So, what can we say? Firstly, wins aren’t that often due to High volatility. A combination of this aspect and another that almost half the prizes are lower than the bet level makes the balance slowly decrease if there are no bonus games. And the Wild Frames feature can’t drastically change that because of too rare triggering. On top of that, Multiplier Wilds are even more rare guests on the playfield than regular. The bonus game activates well often, thanks to the Guaranteed Scatters feature, but free spins didn’t demonstrate through our test some outstanding generosity. Maybe that's because of all their profitable potency in just one, the last, free spin. For instance, the Herow symbol with an x25 multiplier didn’t land within bonus games even once. So, even three bonus games didn’t let us avoid losses.

Undefeated Xerxes Verdict
In conclusion, we want to note the perfect slot design paired with good-looking animations. Such a tandem will make you truly pleased. As for the game's profitability, there are also a lot of advantages due to the many unique features you can hardly find anywhere else. So, if you’re hunting for some new experience, this gamble title is made exactly for you.
Wild frames scatter Wilds any place around the playfield, whereas the Guaranteed Scatters feature makes the chances of FS triggering much more. Yet, these features do not trigger that frequently, especially if it comes to Multiplier Wilds. Moreover, the maximum limit of x5 for the last ones doesn’t seem that high, in our opinion. A bonus game looks a little bit more profitable, but mostly due to the 10th free spin when the play grid is filled up with Wilds, thanks to locked Wild frames. Yet, that is hardly enough to generate each time a cash prize that can compensate for a considerable balance decrease that is well possible during a base game. Also, you can't prolong it by extra FS. On top of that, the hit frequency of the Hero symbol with an x25 multiplier isn't that high. For instance, we didn’t get it even once through all three bonus games.
Yet, a bonus game idea of a playfield that is maximally filled up with regular Wilds & Multiplier Wilds seems well promising and is generous enough, under certain circumstances, confirmed by the maximum possible win of x10,000 to the stake. So, welcome to the Undefeated Xerxes if you don’t mind trying your luck with such an avalanche of Wilds plus a Hero symbol upgraded to the one with an x25 multiplier within the last battle for countless Xerxes' treasures during the 10th free spin. But be aware that its RTP ranges from 96.2% to 84.2%. So check your slots's RTP rate before playing on money.
