Marching Legions

Relax Gaming places Marching Legions in an ancient Roman courtyard, shot from directly overhead with a legion of miniature soldiers queued along paths on either side of the 5x3 grid, ready to join the action. The cartoonish top-down art style keeps the tone light against the martial subject matter, echoing the studio's other stripped-back arcade releases.

Wins form across 243 ways on the five reels. Gold, blue and bronze tokens sit at the bottom of the paytable, a gladius and a wreath fill the middle tier, and a flag symbol tops the payout table on paper at 3x the stake for five in a row. The legionnaire symbol pays less at 2.5x for a full line, but it matters more than the number suggests: it can land as a stacked symbol, counts as a win from just two of a kind, and drives every feature the game has. There's no conventional wild here; the legionnaire fills that role by itself.

When two or more partial legionnaire stacks appear on the reels together, there's a chance one gets nudged into a complete stack, though a nudge won't fire if a full stack is already showing. A complete stack, arriving naturally or through a nudge, sets off Marching Respins: the stacked symbols step sideways toward the first reel with every respin that follows, any new full stack that appears resets the sequence, and the feature keeps going until every stack has exited the grid entirely.

Each legionnaire stack that marches off the reels fills part of a five-level meter; reaching 330 stacks in total unlocks the free spins round. That round opens on Wave 1 with a single stack positioned on the fifth reel, and every wave after that adds one more stack, building toward Wave 5 where the entire grid is covered in legionnaires. Horn symbols land on reel five during free spins, and collecting three of them advances to the next wave. The round ends once the stacks have all marched away without the horn meter reaching its next level. A bonus buy option is also available, at 120x the stake, taking a player straight into the free spins round without playing through the base game first.

Marching Legions carries a notably high 98.12% RTP, dropping to 97.13% when the buy feature is used, alongside a high volatility rating of 4 out of 5 and a 25.62% hit frequency. The listed top prize is 10,000x the stake, on bets running from 0.10 to 100 per spin. A full screen of legionnaires alone is worth 607.5x, which gives a sense of how much stacking across several waves during free spins matters for reaching the higher multiples.
