Whilst you're not actually required to participate in a fight for your life, the adrenaline is certainly pumping as you spin the reels, and as a result, it is very easy to find yourself completely immersed in the thrills this Colosseum-based pokie has to offer!
Theme
Much like in Ancient Roman times, the Emperor calls the shots in this game. Set in Rome's Colosseum, the game dates as far back as 8th Century BC, in which you as a gladiator spin for your life, whilst under the watchful eye of the Emperor. Symbols include tigers, bags of coins and gladiator sandals, as well as helmets and the colosseum itself.
An added bonus is the fact that the shield and emperor symbols are animated when on a winning payline; the small but noticeable attention to detail making for that added entertainment factor when playing.
Format
As with most fairly standard pokies, the game consists of 5 reels and up to 25 paylines; all of which can be viewed by hovering over the numbers running up the borders to the reels. The number of lines being played can be easily adjusted at the foot of the game, however for maximum chance of winning, the full 25 line game is highly recommended.
Stakes can be increased from $0.25 to $50 a spin, which is perhaps not as high as some other games on offer, but if anything this only extends the length of gameplay, which is certainly not a bad thing. A gamble feature is available on all wins, wherein the most daring can double or quadruple their wins.
Free games
Free games are awarded when 3 or more scatter shields appear; these shields will award 10 free games when on a payline. Even better; during the free rounds, all prizes are doubled, meaning a higher chance of really winning big. During the free games, the notorious emperor may appear to decide the fate of the player, with a much anticipated thumbs up signalling the win of between 1 to 3 further games; an added bonus to the game sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Emperor wilds
Despite generally being known as the bad guy throughout history, you'll be glad to see the emperor in this pokie. He appears as a wild symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 during which time he acts as a substitute for all symbols in the game, excluding the shield scatter symbols.
Mobile
Call of the Colosseum is available to both mobile and desktop players; meaning the excitement is not limited to your computer. Indeed, you can play from the comfort of your own home, or when on the go, with the same high quality graphics, sounds and general entertainment guaranteed on your mobile or tablet device.
