Sabaton

Sabaton Online Slot Game

Is it about heavy metal? Is it about going to war? Whatever purpose it’s aiming for, Sabaton a beautifully animated slot game featuring the weapons of war and heavy metal music mixes these elements with amazing animation. Those two elements are the perfect representation of the Swedish heavy metal band, Sabaton, the inspiration for the game.

Multiple bullets and cannons surround what looks like a tank turned into rock stage as players, who start with 25,000 credits, can bet anywhere from .10 to 100 while spinning. Payouts move left to right on the game’s 10 paylines as players look to rock their way to big wins. So prepare yourself, because it’s about to get epic when you play Sabaton, an online slot game from Play N Go.

Theme

Heavy metal is the most prominent theme of Sabaton. After all, it is the members of the band who create larger payouts. And the game is named after Sabaton, a real-life heavy metal band. But then there’s multiple cannons shooting at you from behind the free online slots. There are multiple bullets firing at you as you play free spin rounds. So while metal is the clear primary theme of Sabaton, war is a strong secondary one. Players have little control over their betting (which is very common in Play N Go games). Players can only determine the overall bet. No coin values or paylines can be altered.

The game’s 10 paylines are fixed as players take their spins. There’s also no double betting or bonus levels (outside of the Battalion free spins level) available to players. Sabaton’s music plays in the background, a definite plus for fans of the band, as the reels spin on the tank that represents Sabaton’s stage.

Symbols

Sabaton features 10 symbols. Symbols of war and weapons represent the standard symbols. Grenades and swords offer the lowest payouts. Modern day and Roman soldier helmets are a level up in payouts. The higher-level payouts come from accurate depictions of the band members while they perform.

Guitar player Tommy Johanson, drummer Hannes Van Dahl, and guitar player Chris Roland all come with the same payout. Get a higher payout if you land founding member and bass player Par Sundstrom. And lead singer Joakim Broden is the Wild symbol. Wild symbols replace anything but the scatter symbol, which is the band’s logo.

Each of the band members can become mega symbols and cover 2 or 3 of the reels. The scatter symbol can turn mega as well, but only when 3 reels are linked. Multiple random actions happen that keep the game interesting during Sabaton. Chained Reels connect two or three reels.

The Last Stand turns one or two random wheels into wilds. Battalion Spins offer 7 free spins for players throughout the game. Big payouts are likely if players play enough of these as reels 2,3, and 4 are linked for each spin. The features retriggers with 9 or more scatters, and re-triggers are unlimited. Players can win up to 5000 times more on their bets during Battalion Spins.

Review of Sabaton

Fans of the band will love the game, it’s use of their music, and the accurate depictions of the band’s members. For those (like me) who’ve never heard of the band? Well, there is plenty going on. The animation is high quality and the random triggers that pop up during the game keep things interesting.

But paylines are limited. Players will find themselves asking “How was that not a win?” several times during the game when the reels stop. Many players might like that challenge. And if your patient, big wins will come, particularly at the free spin level.
