Theme
The setting for this online game is the gladiatorial area of Ancient Rome: stride into the amphitheatre like a hero and try your luck. The life of a gladiator was brutal and usually short; however, the fortunate victors could win big prize money - and so could you. Gladiator of Rome is a five-reel pokie with three rows and 20 paylines. You can set the coin value from $0.01 to $0.25 and then choose how many ‘coins’ you want to bet per payline.
This means your minimum bet is always 20 coins; however, the value can range from $0.20 to $5. Along with the card values J, Q, and K, the other symbols are a golden Roman eagle, a shield of Medusa, a chariot racer, a sword-fighting gladiator, a bare-chested, spear-wielding gladiator, a shield from the Roman army, and the emperor’s crest.
This last symbol is the highest value symbol on the reels - if you are lucky enough to get five of these on a payline, you can expect a payout of 1,000 coins. The wild symbol is an angry fighter, which can stand in for any other symbol - except the bonus symbol - to help you reach winning combinations.
The bonus symbol is an illustration of two gladiators fighting - land three of these anywhere on the reels in the same spin and you will trigger the bonus free spins feature. This is the game’s only bonus feature. It is simple and effective and can generate big prizes.
Free spins
The bonus symbol only appears on reels two, three, and four; however, if you can get three to show up at once, you are in for a free spins treat. Landing three bonus symbols will trigger 30 free spins, which play out to the sound of dramatic music that gets more intense and faster as the bonus round progresses.
You will find the multiplier display in the top right-hand corner of the reels, and it is this that really makes the difference in the free spins bonus feature. For the first 10 of your free spins, the multiplier stays at one x; however, it increases to two x for the second 10 and three x for your final 10 free spins. These increasing values can hugely improve your winnings with no extra effort on your part.
