Spartans vs Zombies is Stakelogic's genre-crossing, where ancient Greece meets zombie hordes. Under the shell it's a Multipays game with Super Stake and a visible zombie collector, and the demo actually showed the real symbol prices, which is rarer than you'd think.

Review
Spartans vs Zombies under the microscope
The key figures are an RTP of 95, high volatility and a cap of 7500 times the stake. The game was released 17. marts 2023 and is therefore one of the older titles in the pool, but the mechanics still hold up.
01Symbol payouts read from the reels
When the paytable appeared on the symbols during the session, two symbols could be read directly at a stake of 0,20. The red Spartan warrior pays 5 for 8,50, 4 for 1,00 and 3 for 0,50. The spear symbol pays 5 for 0,80, 4 for 0,12 and 3 for 0,08.
The difference between the two tells you about the value scale: the warrior symbol is about ten times more valuable than the spear when you have five of them. It’s a classic premium/low split, where the thematic figures carry the wins and the generic symbols just keep the reels turning.
02Multipays, Super Stake and the Z-collector
The game runs over 20 payways (Multipays), and to the right there is a Super Stake toggle that raises the stake in exchange for better bonus odds — a Bonus Bet under another name.
At the top left and right sits a collector marked with a Z and the counter 0/50. It's the zombie collector (Symbols collection / Energy): collect enough Z symbols, and a feature triggers. The feature list confirms Sticky Wilds, Wilds with multipliers and a Pick Objects bonus, so there are multiple layers in the bonus part.
03Purchase of the feature and the profile
The game lists Buy Feature and Bonus Bet, so the bonus can either be bought directly or chased via an increased stake. With Additional Free Spins and multiplier wilds, it’s the free spins round that carries the cap of 7500x.
With high volatility and an RTP of 95 the profile is aggressive: the base game pays small — like the spear symbol's 0,08 on three — while the big numbers require the warrior symbols and multiplier wilds to fall together. It's a game for the patient.
From the demo round
Screenshots from Spartans vs Zombies
We ran the demo on the server with a stake of 0,20 and a balance of 5.000,00. The grid is 5×3 with 20 payways (Multipays), and a Super Stake toggle sits to the right together with the Z-collector, which was at 0/50.
During the session the game displayed the paytable directly on the symbols. The warrior symbol read 5 for 8,50, 4 for 1,00 and 3 for 0,50; the spear symbol 5 for 0,80, 4 for 0,12 and 3 for 0,08. We only note the numbers the camera captured — the other symbol values are confirmed in the game's paytable.

The game runs on a 5-3 reel set with 20 paylines. The published return is 95 %, and the volatility is listed as high.
Round extension
If more scatters land during the free spins round, it is extended with extra spins. That's the mechanic that makes long rounds possible.
Bonus bet
With an increased stake, the frequency of bonus triggers rises. That does not change the game's theoretical return in your favour.
Pick-and-win
In the bonus round you pick from hidden tiles until a stop symbol ends the round.
Bonus buy
The bonus round can be bought directly for a fixed amount of the stake instead of waiting for scatters. The price is shown in the game's buy window — and some operators turn the feature off.
Free spins
The scatter symbols trigger a round of free spins. The number of spins and the required number of scatters are shown in the game's info panel and can vary slightly between operators.
Multipliers
The game uses multipliers that multiply the win they are part of. Where and when they can land is determined by the game's own paytable.

Spartans vs Zombies is a solid, aggressive Multipays title, where the demo for once showed the right numbers: the warrior symbol at 8,50 for five versus the spear's 0,80 clearly maps the value scale. With Super Stake, the Z collector, multiplier wilds and Buy Feature there's plenty to work with in the bonus round, and the cap at 7500x is respectable. The RTP of 95 and the high variance are the cost. An overlooked but well-built title.
Read at stake 0,20: the red warrior pays 8,50 for five, 1,00 for four and 0,50 for three; the spear symbol pays 0,80 for five, 0,12 for four and 0,08 for three.
What is the Z Collector?
A counter marked Z with the readout 0/50 in the corners. It's the zombie/energy collector that triggers a feature when enough Z-symbols have been collected.
How much can you win, and can the bonus be bought?
The cap is 7500 times the stake. The game has both Buy Feature and Super Stake (Bonus Bet), so free spins can be bought directly or chased via an increased stake.
