Sasuntsi Davit Slot Review
A young hero-king in gold scale armour rides out from a sandstone fortress, sword drawn, green hills rolling behind him. Sasuntsi Davit takes the tumble-and-multiplier design Pragmatic Play built with Gates of Olympus and does something no amount of sequels managed: it makes it look like a fresh idea, because the Armenian folk epic nobody else is touching does more for that formula than a tenth coat of Greek marble ever could.
Pragmatic Play have given it a 6×5 grid where symbols pay anywhere, a 96.50% RTP, medium volatility and a 5,000x win cap. It shares its tumble-and-multiplier bones with Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza, though the epic-hero dressing sets it apart from both.
Base Game & Features
Wins work on a scatter-pays basis: eight or more of the same symbol anywhere on the six reels form a win, and the more copies land, the bigger the multiple. The paytable splits into five character symbols drawn from the epic and four gems below them. When winning with multiple symbols in one spin, all wins are added to the total.
The gap between those two groups is wide at every count tier, and the character symbols dominate it. That leaves the gems doing a different job: they mostly exist to keep tumble chains moving rather than to pay anything memorable on their own.
Paying Symbols
Values are multiples of the total bet, for 12 or more, 10 to 11, and 8 to 9 of a kind respectively:
- Old bearded King (grey): 50x / 25x / 10x
- Young Prince: 25x / 10x / 2.5x
- Sword: 15x / 5x / 2x
- White Horse: 12x / 2x / 1.5x
- King in gold crown and green robe: 10x / 1.5x / 1x
- Red Heart Gem: 8x / 1.2x / 0.8x
- Blue Gem: 5x / 1x / 0.5x
- Green Gem: 4x / 0.9x / 0.4x
- Pink Gem: 2x / 0.75x / 0.25x
The scatter is a young man’s portrait, present on all reels and paying on any position at the same three count tiers. Its values sit in the list below. There’s no wild in this game.
- Scatter (young man’s portrait): 100x / 5x / 3x for 6 / 5 / 4 symbols
Tumble Feature
After every spin, winning combinations are paid and the winning symbols disappear. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom of the screen and the empty positions are replaced with symbols coming from above.
Tumbling continues until no more winning combinations appear as a result of a tumble, and there’s no limit to the number of possible tumbles. All wins are added to the balance once every tumble from the base spin has played out.
The order matters. A spin pays, clears, and refills; the refill pays again if it forms a new combination, and only when the chain finally stops does the multiplier arithmetic kick in. A single base spin can therefore run through several distinct winning combinations before anything is settled.
Multiplier Symbols
Multiplier symbols appear on all reels and can hit randomly during spins and tumbles, in the base game and the free spins round alike. They don’t pay on their own; they only matter when a tumble sequence produces a win. Each takes one of these random values:
- 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x
- 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x
- 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x
When the tumble sequence ends, the values of all multiplier symbols on the screen are added together, and the total win of the sequence is multiplied by that figure.
That summing rule is what gives the base game its punch. A tumble chain that ends with three or four modest multipliers on screen together can multiply a small scatter-pay win into something many times larger, and the gap between the value tiers means the ceiling on any single sequence is high.
Sasuntsi Davit Free Spins & Bonus Round
Free Spins
Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on the screen award the free spins round, which starts with 15 spins and runs on special reels. Whenever a multiplier symbol hits during a winning spin in the round, its value is added to a running total multiplier that persists for the whole round.
Every later win in the feature is multiplied by that running total, on top of any new multiplier values the winning spin adds. Three or more scatters during the round award five additional free spins, so a hot streak can extend the feature well past its starting length.
The difference from the base game is accumulation. In the base game a multiplier’s value is spent the moment its sequence ends; here it’s banked and reused on every subsequent winning spin. A multiplier that lands on the first free spin is still working for you on the fifteenth.
The cap sits at 5,000x the bet. If a round’s total win reaches it, the round ends immediately, the win is paid up to the cap and any remaining features are forfeited. The free spins win is awarded after the round completes, with the whole cycle’s win recorded together.
Ante Bet & Bonus Buy
Two bet multipliers are available, and the game behaves differently depending on which you select:
- 25x: the chance of triggering free spins naturally is doubled, with more scatter symbols on the reels, and the bonus purchase is disabled
- 20x: the free spins round can be purchased for 100x the total bet
The RTP is 96.50% in all configurations, including both ante options and the buy. The free spins round can also be bought outright from the base game for 100x the current total bet, at any stake from 0.20 to 240 per spin.
The choice between them is a straight pick between doubled natural odds and direct access, with nothing given up either way on returns. Autoplay is on hand for longer runs, and the space and enter keys start and stop a spin.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.2/10
Playing Sasuntsi Davit is a steady, patient rhythm: small scatter pays ticking over, then a tumble chain lands two multipliers at once and the spin pays fifty times what it looked like paying a second earlier. That jolt, wrapped in the best-dressed take on this formula going, is the reason to pick it. The hero on the hilltop is doing real work.
The free spins round is the stronger half of the game, because the running multiplier never resets – a long feature with retriggers ends far heavier than it started. Against that, the 5,000x cap is tight for a game with a 500x single multiplier; one great sequence eats most of the headroom, and there’s nothing above it to chase.
It’s for players who enjoy the Gates of Olympus school of slot but want medium volatility and a ceiling they can actually picture hitting. Chasers of five-figure maths will find it modest. For everyone else, the fortress is worth the ride out.
