Sabaton slot review

Sabaton is a fierce and rugged, hard-rocking, Play’n GO slot with catchy features.

Play’n GO loves to release hard rock band slots. In 2019 alone, they managed to release three hard rock slots: Demon and Black Mamba and this fantastic Sabaton (a Swedish band) slot.

In 2020 they continued with Testament, another tremendous hard rock slot!

Maximum win: 5,000 x the total bet, or $€500K

Casino Hipster verdict: Great!

It’s striking that the rock bands that Play’n GO build their slots around are not the most famous, certainly not with the broader public. Perhaps, because of license fees costs?

In any case, my friend, this does not impact the quality of the slots. Sabaton is thrilling, exciting and brutal! It’s made for hard rock fans, who like to gamble once a while.

The gameplay is spectacular, thanks to several spot-on features.

Of course, you play to land a massive prize. I’m happy to confirm that this is possible with this beast!

With Sabaton, you can win up to 5.000x the bet.

Of course, that’s a pretty impressive win. If you bet a hundred, you could rake a half a million! Your house is suddenly redeemable!

I will tell you more about it, my friend, is that OK? Here we GO!

Sabaton slot – Gameplay and Features

Sabaton has 5 reels with 3 symbols each, and there are 10 fixed paylines.

Thanks to 3 compelling features. You can still get winning combos now and then. You got the:

• Chained Reels (identical reels sticking together) and very similar to Netent’s Twin Spin.
• Last Stand, where 1 or 2 reels become Wild
• Mega symbols with band members are sometimes expanding to 3×3 in size.

In short, plenty of action! But there’s more.

Free spins bonus round – mystery and mega symbols to complete it

If you spin 9 scatter symbols (these can be anywhere on the screen), you win 7 free spins.

Before you play the free spins, a special symbol is nominated to become the mega symbol and also acts as a mystery symbol. If this special symbol is one of the band members (those are the high symbols), you are lucky.

If the symbols hit often, you are even luckier.

And yes, my friend, it helps that the middle three reels Chained (linked reels).

Also, the free spins can re-trigger. There is NO limit!

Do I need to explain to you my friend, that it can go sky-high here? With your balance, I mean?

Payout percentage (RTP)

Sabaton’s default payout percentage is an excellent 96.50%. Be careful, though, my friend. Always check the game rules of this slot. Some online casinos offer this slot at a lower payout percentage.

The variance (volatility) of Sabaton is medium to high

The variance of Sabaton is (according to Play’n GO ) “very high” and gives it a score of 10 out of 10.

However, I see that Play’n GO likes to give itself high scores when it comes to the variance. If they start doing this for (almost) all their slots, it becomes difficult to distinguish the real beasts from the more modest ones.

That’s why I tend to think that this slot has a “medium to high” variance. I want to see it before I believe it. With a slot like Book of Dead, it is proven. Simple.

Nevertheless, we expect wins from 1,000x to 2,000x the bet to be realistic.

Other famous Play, ‘n GO slots with similar volatility, include Legacy of Egypt, Rise of Olympus or Moon Princess.

Sabaton slot – pros and cons

Sabaton slot – who will like the slot? And who won’t?
