Legion Hot 1 Review

Hot Rise Games is the latest to join Yggdrasil’s partner program, YGS Masters, and Legion Hot 1 is their debut slot. The first thing we noticed was the square, rotating spin button, which we found to be a tad distracting. The background varies with the bonus round cycles, and you start in a pastoral countryside scene, while later getting into the heart of Rome itself at its peak.

The somewhat unusual Shield Collection System enhances the reels as you play, and optimal strategy would be to complete each cycle to the bonus round, otherwise your theoretical returns will suffer below the stated 96.37 %. Don’t worry though, as low volatility and 1 in 100 spins bonus round frequency ensures plenty of bang for your bucks. Overall, a decent enough debut game that at least tries to do things a bit differently.

Legion Hot 1 Features

The legionnaire wild can land on the 3 middle reels only, and it steps in for all regular pay symbols. Bonus shields will also land on the 3 middle reels only, and these will benefit you in different ways. This is called the Bonus Shield Collection feature, and the benefits come in a specific order per reel as follows:

  • Bronze - the first shield opens up an extra bottom position on the reel.
  • Silver - the second shield opens up an extra top position on the reel.
  • Gold - the third shield adds a x2 multiplier overlay to both the top and bottom position.

The collected shield benefits stay in place until you’ve completed a bonus round, and this is done by landing the 4th shield on an already fully enhanced reel. The improved reel set is carried over into the Bonus Round, and bonus shields now land as x2 wild multipliers that are not collected. The reels involved in triggering the free spins round are upgraded with additional x2 multiplier wilds.

You get 10 free spins, and the final spin is called the Hot 1 spin. After a dramatic countdown, reel 2, 3 or 4 is randomly chosen, and enhanced with a x2 multiplier wild on the top and bottom positions. As the feature completes, everything resets as the Bonus Shield Collection system starts from scratch again.

Finally, non-UK players can take advantage of the Bonus Buy option. Purchasing the bonus round costs 50x your stake, and the RTP also increases to 96.47 %. Keep in mind that you need to complete a full cycle that culminates in the bonus round to benefit from the stated 96.37 % RTP. This makes the reasonably priced bonus buy even more attractive.

Review Summary

As is the nature of many a debut, Legion Hot 1 comes across as a bit awkward and clumsy. The Shield Collect Enhancement cycle starts you off with an unspecified, but “significantly lower”, RTP than 96.37 %. You reach that number only by reaching the bonus round. This gives you a very strong incentive to simply buy the bonus round instead, if that is indeed possible in your jurisdiction.

Looking past the math model “blunder”, if we can call it that, this is a decent debut slot, and at least Hot Rise Games has the guts to try something different. Fans of the dynamic reel concept might wanna give this one a spin or two, as the 2,525x potential is decent for a low variance title. Not much here for high rollers perhaps, but we had plenty of bonus buys that turned a decent profit. In fact, it seemed hard to win less than 50x, but you could perhaps chalk that up as beginner’s luck.

Pros

  • Reel enhancement cycles
  • Bonus round w/ enhanced final spin
  • Low volatility and 2,525x potential
  • Bonus Buy for 50x (not for UK players)

Cons

  • 96.37 % RTP only if you complete cycle

If you enjoy Legion Hot 1 you should also try:

Roman Power - was Spin Play’s debut slot on Microgaming’s platform, and you’ll benefit from expanding wilds as long as they’re part of a winning combo. You might also trigger a power multiplier up to x10 when wilds expand, and this can lead to payouts up to 4,000x your stake.

Legioner - is a decent looking roman empire slot from Mascot, and it comes with wilds that transform into 4 unique modifier triggering symbols. These come in spades during the bonus round, and it paves way for interesting and somewhat unusual gameplay.

Victorious MAX - is NetEnt’s more volatile follow-up to the original Victorious game, and the bonus round multiplier has been bumped up from 3x to 6x here. This means that you can win up to 30,000x your stake, and the 96.88 % RPT is well above average also.

Legion Hot 1 Slot FAQs

What is the RTP of Legion Hot 1?

The 96.37 % payout percentage only applies if you go through a full shield collect cycle, which includes triggering the bonus round. You get a 96.47 % RTP immediately if you buy the bonus round however, but this option is not available for UK players.

What is the biggest win possible?

You can win up to 2,525x your stake, which is a pretty decent potential for this kind of volatility.

How does the Bonus Shield Collection cycle work?

Landing 1, 2 and 3 shields on the same reel opens up the bottom and top positions, and turn these into 2x multiplier positions. Landing a 4th shield on the same reel triggers the bonus round, and everything resets when you return to the base game afterwards.

Is there a free spins mode in Legion Hot 1?

Yes, you get 10 free spins, and the enhanced reel set is carried over. Shields now land as x2 multiplier wilds, and the final ‘Hot 1’ spin comes with a x2 multiplier wild on the top and bottom position on reels 2, 3 or 4.
