Slot Summary

Released in 2016, Thrones of Persia uses a conventional five-reel, 20-line base game as the entry point to a more deliberate bonus choice. Tom Horn Gaming makes the Ziggurat the hinge: Scatter Symbols open a selection sequence that can increase both Free Spins and their Multiplier. High volatility and an x5470.00 maximum make the bonus setup more consequential than the ordinary left-to-right line cycle.
MechanicsZiggurat selections increase Free Spins and their Multiplier

How It Plays

The base game evaluates 20 selectable lines from left to right on a 5x3 layout. Wild substitutions assist regular combinations before the bonus decision begins.

Scatter wins are calculated against the total bet rather than an individual line stake, separating their payouts from the standard line evaluation.

Theme & Atmosphere

Ancient Babylon supplies the historical setting despite the Persia title, with Cyrus the Great and the Ziggurat carrying the main character and monument roles.

History and Middle east themes meet in a royal contest for the Ziggurat, while the Sky backdrop keeps the tall bonus structure visually distinct.

Features & Win Potential

The Wild Symbol substitutes for paying symbols other than the Scatter Symbol, while Scatter awards use the total bet and can open the Bonus Game.

High volatility concentrates attention on the x5470.00 maximum, with Multiplier increases available through the Ziggurat selections before Free Spins start.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three or more Scatter Symbols open the Ziggurat Bonus Game. Each triggering Scatter supplies a selection from the monument's stones before Free Spins begin.

Selections can add Free Spins or raise the bonus Multiplier. During Free Spins, an extra Wild Symbol doubles any qualifying win it helps complete.

How long could a bankroll last on Thrones of Persia? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

Running simulation…
How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.85%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,470×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
