Amazons’ Battle
Most slots ask for three scatters. This one asks for seven. The Double-Headed Axe lands stacked on the middle three reels, and it takes seven of them arriving at once to open the free spins — seven axes buy seven spins, eight buy fifteen, nine buy thirty. That is a demanding, unusual trigger, and it gives the round a scale most of this catalogue never reaches. Around it sits a solid rather than spectacular machine: 96.17% verified from the studio, a low-medium 2 out of 5 for variance, thirty fixed lines, and a top line pay worth only about 33× your total stake.

The demo below runs the real Amusnet client in play-money mode with the same certified maths as real play, which makes it the cheapest way to see how often seven stacked axes actually turn up. Only the Jackpot Cards meters are missing, since those carry live values solely at casinos running the progressive. This demo is part of our EGT slots demo library.
Amazons’ Battle at a Glance
How Amazons’ Battle Plays
Five reels, three rows, thirty fixed paylines. Amusnet states the line count plainly and there is no selector to worry about — on this version, at least, which turns out to matter more than it sounds. The stake is the only setting, and because it divides across thirty lines, your line bet is always a thirtieth of what you put in.
Two symbols carry the game and both arrive stacked. The Horse is the wild: it fills reel positions in blocks, substitutes for the paying symbols, and pays in its own right as a regular symbol. The Double-Headed Axe is the scatter, and it stacks too — but only on reels 2, 3 and 4. Amusnet confirms the shape of this on its own page, describing the feature as “Free Spins with Stacked Wild and Scatter Symbol”.
The trigger is where the game separates itself. You do not need three axes; you need seven. Two independent sources agree on the ladder: seven axes award seven free spins, eight award fifteen, and nine award thirty. Because the axes only stack on the middle three reels, filling seven or more positions means those reels have to come up almost entirely axe — a rare event by design, and the reason the payoff scales so steeply. Thirty free spins with stacked wilds still landing is a genuinely different game from the base one.
The Story Behind Amazons’ Battle
Amazons’ Battle was released on 29 April 2015, which puts it just outside the December 2014 wave that produced most of the studio’s classics. It shows: this is a themed machine with a real feature round rather than another payline count wrapped around fruit symbols, and it belongs to the phase where Amusnet started building games around a mechanic.
Here is the part worth knowing, and we verified it from two of Amusnet’s own pages. In August 2024 the studio released Amazons’ Story — and on every figure Amusnet publishes, it is the same game. Same 96.17% return. Same 2-out-of-5 volatility. Same five reels by three. Same thirty lines. Same 1,000× top line pay. Even the same feature description, word for word: “Free Spins with Stacked Wild and Scatter Symbol”.
The single published difference is the line selector. Battle runs thirty lines fixed; Story lets you choose between 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30. That is the whole of it — a nine-year gap, a new name, new artwork, and one configuration option. If you have been treating them as two different games worth trying separately, they are, on the studio’s own numbers, the same machine twice.
Symbols and Paytable
Amusnet publishes a top line payout and names no symbols at all. The specifics below come from SlotCatalog and a second independent source, which agree with each other, and we have marked where that is the case.
| Horse (Wild) | Arrives stacked, substitutes for the paying symbols, and pays as a regular symbol in its own right — so a stacked block of horses can produce a win on its own rather than only completing someone else’s. Amusnet confirms a stacked wild in its feature string; SlotCatalog and a second source both identify it as the Horse. |
|---|---|
| Double-Headed Axe (Scatter) | The most interesting symbol in the game. It stacks, it appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4, and it takes seven of them at once to trigger anything. Two independent sources agree on the reel restriction and on the trigger counts. It is the reason this game has a bonus round worth waiting for and the reason you will wait. |
| The Amazon warriors | The premium end of the paytable, where the 1,000× line payout lives. Amusnet quotes that ceiling for the game without saying which symbol earns it. SlotCatalog gives a figure of 20,000 coins for five on a line, but does not state the coin denomination, so it cannot honestly be converted into a stake multiple. |
| Card ranks | Ten through Ace filling the bottom of the table, as on almost every themed slot of this era. Across thirty lines they land constantly and pay very little individually; their job is to keep the balance moving while you wait for axes. |
The structural point is that this game concentrates its value unusually hard. With a top line pay worth about 33× your total stake, the base game cannot produce a session-defining result. Everything interesting is inside a free-spins round you reach rarely.
Bonus Features
Seven scatters to trigger, not three
The defining rule. Seven stacked axes award seven free spins, eight award fifteen, nine award thirty. Two independent sources agree on the ladder. Because the axes only stack on reels 2, 3 and 4, reaching seven means those three reels must come up almost entirely axe.
A round that scales steeply
Going from seven to nine axes takes you from seven spins to thirty — more than four times the round for two extra symbols. Most free-spins ladders in this catalogue do not reward the bigger trigger anything like as generously.
Stacked Horse wild that pays
It fills reel positions in blocks, substitutes for the paying symbols, and pays as a regular symbol on its own. Amusnet confirms a stacked wild in the feature description on its own page; a stacked wild landing during a thirty-spin round is where this game does its real damage.
Rated 2 out of 5 for volatility
Published by Amusnet and independently confirmed as “Low-Med” by SlotCatalog. That reads oddly against a bonus this hard to reach — but with thirty lines paying small and often, the base game genuinely is steady. The variance lives entirely in whether you get the round.
The same maths as Amazons’ Story
Verified from both official pages: identical RTP, volatility, layout, line count, top pay and feature string. The only published difference is that Story lets you select 1, 5, 10, 20 or 30 lines while Battle fixes all thirty.
Turn-Of-A-Card gamble
Amusnet lists a gamble without describing it; SlotCatalog calls it a Turn-Of-A-Card round where you double a win by predicting the colour. Single-source on the form, so treat the detail as indicative and check the client.
Jackpot Cards — present, but not from the studio’s own page
SlotCatalog describes the familiar four-level mystery progressive on this title: Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades, triggered at random after a paid spin and resolved by picking from twelve face-down cards until three of one suit appear.
Worth being precise about the sourcing, because it differs from the games we reviewed either side of this one. On Dice & Roll, Extra Stars and Flaming Hot, Amusnet names Jackpot Cards on the game’s own page. On Amazons’ Battle it does not mention it at all. So read the progressive here as the range-wide feature offered at participating casinos rather than something the studio documents for this title — and check for the meters above the reels before assuming it is running.
As always it sits outside the published 96.17%, which describes the reels alone. On this game that matters less than usual: unlike the thinner classics, Amazons’ Battle has a real feature round of its own to chase, so the jackpot is a bonus rather than the only route to a meaningful result.
The Gamble Feature, Properly Explained
Amusnet lists a gamble feature among the game’s features and says nothing else about it. SlotCatalog calls it a Turn-Of-A-Card round in which you double a win by predicting a card’s colour — the standard form across this catalogue. That is a single secondary source describing the mechanic, and neither the qualifying win size nor the number of consecutive attempts is published anywhere we could verify for this title, so check the client before you rely on any limit.
The maths does not change with the details: an even-money guess leaves your expected return exactly where it was and only widens the spread. On this game there is a sharper reason to leave it alone. The wins that matter here come out of a free-spins round you might wait several hundred spins to reach. Gambling that money on a coin flip risks the one outcome the whole session was built around. Take the base-game wins if you must; never gamble a bonus result.
- 96.17% verified from Amusnet’s own page — the best return of any Amusnet classic we have reviewed this month
- Free-spins ladder scales steeply: seven, fifteen or thirty spins from seven, eight or nine axes
- Stacked Horse wild pays in its own right, not just as a substitute
- A genuine feature round in a catalogue where most classics have none
- Seven scatters is a demanding trigger — expect long stretches without the round
- 1,000× the line bet is only about 33× your total stake
- Mathematically identical to Amazons’ Story, so there is little reason to play both
How Amazons’ Battle Compares
Two comparisons matter here. The first is against the game’s own twin, and the second is against the other Amusnet classics that actually have a free-spins round. Every RTP below is taken from an official Amusnet page.
| Game | RTP | Volatility | Lines | Free spins |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amazons’ Battle | 96.17% | 2 / 5 | 30 fixed | 7 / 15 / 30 from 7–9 axes |
| Amazons’ Story | 96.17% | 2 / 5 | 30 selectable | Same round, same maths |
| Egypt Sky | 96.30% | 3 / 5 | 40 | 3–7, sticky wilds |
| Rise of Ra | 95.97% | 4 / 5 | 15 selectable | 15 with a 3× multiplier |
The first two rows are the story: Amusnet released the same machine twice, nine years apart, and the only published difference is whether you can switch lines off. Beyond that, Egypt Sky returns slightly more and triggers far more easily but gives you only three to seven spins, while Rise of Ra asks for much higher variance in exchange for a multiplier. Amazons’ Battle sits between them: the hardest round to reach of the three, and by some distance the longest when you do.
RTP, Volatility and Win Potential
Amazons’ Battle returns 96.17%, verified from Amusnet’s official game sheet and confirmed exactly by SlotCatalog. That is right around the online average and comfortably the strongest figure among the Amusnet classics we have reviewed recently — Flaming Hot returns 95.53%, Dice & Roll 95.76% and Extra Stars 95.78%. In cost terms it is 3.83% of turnover: €1 a spin at 600 spins an hour is €600 through the machine for about €23 of expected cost.
The volatility rating needs a moment of interpretation. Amusnet publishes 2 out of 5 and SlotCatalog independently agrees with “Low-Med”, which sounds wrong for a game whose bonus needs seven scatters. It is not. Thirty lines on a five-by-three grid pay small and often, so the base game really is steady — the swing is concentrated almost entirely in whether the free-spins round arrives at all. Read the 2 out of 5 as describing the ninety-odd percent of spins where nothing special happens, not the shape of your whole session.
Where the numbers disappoint is the ceiling. A 1,000× line payout across thirty lines is roughly 33× your total stake, which puts this in the same band as the studio’s forty-line fruit machines and well behind Extra Stars at around 500×. The free spins are what make the game, not the paytable — thirty spins with stacked wilds landing is the only realistic route to a result worth remembering.
Bets, Bankroll and Session Planning
Amusnet publishes no stake range. SlotCatalog gives 0.30 to 60, which is narrower and more specific than the boilerplate 0.01-to-1000 that publisher usually quotes, and it is at least internally consistent with thirty fixed lines — thirty times a one-cent line bet is exactly 0.30. We are still reporting it as their figure rather than fact, because the studio confirms nothing.
The way to size a session here follows directly from the trigger. Seven stacked axes on three reels is a rare event, so the thing that determines whether you ever see the round is spin count, not stake size. That argues strongly for playing small and long: a stake you can run for several hundred spins gives the bonus a chance to appear, while a large stake over forty spins is very likely to buy you nothing but base-game fruit. On a game where the paytable tops out near 33× your bet, there is no compensating reason to bet big.
Playing Amazons’ Battle on Mobile
Amusnet lists the game for desktop and mobile with Autoplay included, and it runs in HTML5 in a browser with no download. The five-by-three board is the studio’s phone-friendly layout, and the stacked symbols help considerably here — blocks of horses or axes filling whole reels are far easier to read at small sizes than scattered single icons. Watching the middle three reels for axes is a simple enough job on any screen, which is more than can be said for tracing individual wins across forty lines on the studio’s busier machines.
Five Things to Know Before You Spin
- Watch reels 2, 3 and 4 only. The axe scatter stacks nowhere else. Once you know that, the game reads instantly — and you stop hoping for scatters on the outer reels that were never going to arrive.
- Play small and long. Seven stacked axes is a rare trigger, so what determines whether you see the round is how many spins you take, not how much each costs. A stake that survives several hundred spins is worth more here than one that makes forty spins feel significant.
- Do not read 1,000× as a spin ceiling. It is the top single-line payout; spread over thirty lines it is roughly 33× your total bet. The free spins, not the paytable, are where the game’s value sits.
- There is no point playing this and Amazons’ Story. Both official pages publish identical RTP, volatility, layout, line count and top pay. The only difference is that Story lets you select the line count. Pick one.
- Check whether Jackpot Cards is running. Amusnet does not mention the progressive on this game’s page, unlike several of its siblings, so it is entirely an operator decision. Look for the meters above the reels.

Who Amazons’ Battle Is For
Play if you want a feature round with genuine scale in a catalogue that mostly does not have one. Thirty free spins with stacked wilds still dropping is a real event, and the ladder from seven to thirty spins gives the trigger a meaningful upside rather than a flat award. The 96.17% return is the best we have measured on an Amusnet classic in recent reviews, the base game is genuinely steady at 2 out of 5, and the stacked symbols make it one of the more readable machines on a phone.
Skip if you want your bonus rounds to actually arrive. Seven scatters on three reels is a demanding trigger and you should expect long stretches without it — Egypt Sky pays slightly better and triggers on three. Skip it too if you are chasing a big multiple: 33× your total stake from the top line is low, and the free spins have to do all the heavy lifting. And if you have already played Amazons’ Story, you have played this game.

Our Verdict
The hardest bonus to reach in the catalogue, and the biggest when it lands
Amazons’ Battle earns its place by doing something almost nothing else in this catalogue does: it has a feature round with real scale. Seven stacked axes buy seven free spins, nine buy thirty, and with a stacked Horse wild still landing throughout, a full round is a genuinely different game from the base one. The 96.17% return is verified from the studio and is the strongest we have measured on an Amusnet classic in recent weeks, and the 2-out-of-5 variance rating is honest about the base game even if it undersells how much rides on the trigger.
Two things hold it at 8.1. The ceiling is low — roughly 33× your total stake from the top line means the paytable alone can never produce much, so everything depends on a round that needs seven scatters to appear. And the game has a twin: Amusnet re-released the identical maths as Amazons’ Story in 2024, changing only whether you can switch lines off. That is worth knowing before you decide to play both. Take this one for the bonus, play it small and long, and be patient with it.
