Secret of Troy Review

With the Secret of Troy slot, developer Light and Wonder returns to the ancient world and introduces its brand new Jackpot Wars network, where players customize and upgrade robots to battle in the tournaments for one of the four progressive jackpots.

Secret of Troy – Slot Outlook

You've probably heard the legend of Troy that fell to the Greeks, who gained entrance to the impenetrable city in a wooden horse, where a squad of soldiers hid until they opened the city’s gates in the dead of night to let the troops in and burn the city to the ashes. Dedicated to the epic siege of Troy, the slot begins at the city’s gates, and players are to repeat the extraordinary feat via Free Spins, covered in the features section.

Secret of Troy Slot - Reel Screen

The actions in the Secret of Troy slot take place across a traditional 5x3 reel set, producing 20 ways to play. Players drop in by setting bets from $0.2 to $50 per spin, and max win is capped at $250,000, or 5,000x the stake. You should get your returns pretty often, as the game boasts medium volatility and an RTP of 96.6%, which is fairly high compared to other progressive slots.

As we proceed to the pay symbols, we see that the Secret of Troy counts 9 regular symbols that are split in to high and low. Classic card suits make up the lower side, while premiums include in ascending order Achilles, Prince Paris, Queen Helen, King Menelaus, and the game’s logo. Wins are scored by landing at least 3 matching symbols on a single line starting from the leftmost reel, and five-of-a-kind premium wins are worth from 10x to 25x the bet, while Wilds pay up to 50x as well as substitute any regular symbols.

Secret of Troy – Bonus Features

Along with the highlight Jackpot Wars mechanic, the Secret of Troy slot boasts two Free Spins features that are also capable of delivering massive payouts via additional extras, explained below.

Secret of Troy Slot - Free Spins

The regular one is the Swift Footed Free Spins bonus, and it’s triggered when 3 Bonus Symbols land simultaneously on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the base game. Players get an unlimited number of spins, and the feature ends when either 3 Arrow symbols land on the middle reel, or when a max win is achieved.

During Swift Footed Free Spins, and much like in the base game, players can trigger Troy Free Spins, during which all Wilds symbols turn Sticky.

Above the reels there’s a Trojan Horse meter, indicating your progress of triggering the feature, and when a Horse symbol lands anywhere in view, it gets collected and contributes to the meter.

12 instances are needed to scoop 9 Troy Free Spins, though, players can cash out early and get a fixed money prize depending on how many horse symbols have been collected so far. The cash awards vary from 4x to 56x.

Secret of troy – Jackpot Wars Network

Well, the Jackpot Wars feature obviously adds a new dimension to the gameplay here, as it transfers you from the past to the future, where knights and kings are replaced by robot avatars. As you load into the game, it starts with a robot selection, where 3 models are on offer – Light, Medium, and Heavy. All of them possess different stats like attack and defense, and once the decision is made, players can set up a nickname and proceed to the gameplay.

Secret of Troy Slot - Jackpot Wars

During the base game, you collect Cogs and Tickets for every $0.2 and $25 wagered respectively, and your progress is connected to all Jackpot Wars slots (more to come in the next few months). Cogs are used to customize and upgrade robots by purchasing weapons and armor, while Tickets, in turn, are used to enter the Tournaments:

• Junior League – threshold $200.

  

  Entry cost – 1 Ticket.
• Combat League – threshold $2,000. Entry cost – 8 Tickets.
• Armoured League – threshold $20,000. Entry cost – 70 Tickets.
• VIP League – threshold $250,000. Entry cost – 500 Tickets.

When a Jackpot Tournament opens, players have a 30-min window to apply for it, and the tournament starts when at least 16 players have enrolled. Battles don’t require any player input and are played automatically, while wins advance players through the ladder and losses kick them out. The top four participants will share the jackpot, and the prize pool is distributed in the following way: 1st – 85%, 2nd – 10%, 3rd – 2.5%, 4th – 2.5%. All players will also receive a consolation prize of Cogs.

Secret of Troy – Slot Verdict

Aside from the Jackpot Wars feature, Secret of Troy has something to offer on its own, and the two Free Spins bonus features are surely exciting and rewarding, both paying up to 5,000x the stake. However, you won’t find a lot to do in the base game besides collecting Jackpot Wars items and Trojan Horses, though, the Cash Out tool can be pretty useful.

There’s also a feeling that Light and Wonder have picked a wrong trigger for the Jackpot Wars rocket, as it’s pretty weird looking at ancient Greek action on one side of the screen and futuristic robot battles on the opposite.

Well, why not implement it in a fantastic-themed slot to make it match at least?

Anyway, the Jackpot Wars concept is highly promising and is likely to be tweaked in the future. As for now, Secret of Troy is an enjoyable game, albeit not a blockbuster, and the jackpots will obviously be the main reason why players might feel drawn to spin the reels on it.

Pros

• Innovative Jackpot Wars Network
• Two Free Spins bonus games
• Cash Out feature

Cons

• Lack of extras in the base game
• Not the best theme option
