Gladiator Introduction
If you want to be involved in some of the most epic battles in history, you will want to take part in this game from Betsoft. Gladiator boasts many fantastic 3D graphics and features that enable you to journey back to the days of the ancient Romans to witness a head-to-head battle between two deadly gladiators.
There is very little to the frame of this free pokies game; however, this detracts nothing from the game, with the detailing going above and beyond. You will see some fierce-looking warriors, a ball and chain, a goblet and bag of gold, a sword and shield, and a tiger. Should you win on one of these symbols, the winning icon expands and there is a brief animation.
This is further enhanced by a dramatic theme tune in the background. Watch out for the ferocious features in the form of a click-me bonus, the wild symbol gladiator, and the maiden who provides even more wilds.
The brave battle
There are 30 lines in this game and five reels. For those who want to take a back seat to watch the battle play out, there is also a useful auto-play feature that enables you to choose the number of spins. The smallest wins will be found when you get the gold. Five horses will result in 100 coins and five tigers in 150.
The weapons pay out 100 coins for four and 250 for five, while the gladiators are worth 160 for four and 400 for five; however, it is the coliseum that you will want to look out for. This is the scatter symbol and you will net 300 coins for four and a whopping 750 for five. The beautiful princess is definitely worth finding, as she will scatter petals from the top of one of the reels and turn all the symbols into wilds.
These will be multiples of two and will double the amount of any combination they are part of. The doorway is the secret entrance into the click-me bonus. For an animated scene to play out, you will need to get a gladiator on the centre reel. This will turn the reel to stone, which the gladiator will smash and turn all your icons into wilds!
Gruesome bonuses
The click-me bonus will activate when you get three door symbols. You will be asked to choose one of the doors, which will reveal a number of coins. Keep choosing a coin until you find a symbol with the word ‘collect’ under it. The deadliest of bonuses is the Prepare for Battle bonus.
Here you will have to choose between two gladiators - a villain and a hero. You will watch them fight each other and will then be rewarded with credits depending on whether your chosen fighter wins. This is a definite feast for the eyes. With all these unmissable features, Gladiator is the perfect game for a wide range of players.
With customisable features that allow you to tailor it to your budget, you can choose to fight amongst the greatest or keep things a little more low-key. Gladiator is also available on tablet, mobile and desktop, which means you can take these brilliant battles with you wherever you go. Good luck mighty warriors - may the best man win!
