A New Playtech Gladiator Online Slot

Added: January 26, 2018

Playtech has added a third video slot to the Gladiator series. After the stupendous success of Gladiator and Gladiator Jackpot comes Gladiator Road to Rome. Road to Rome also has a progressive jackpot, but it is an independent stand-alone one and not linked to Gladiator Jackpot. You can play Road to Rome at Playtech online casinos like Mansion Casino.

Some of the symbols on the reels are the same as the earlier slot games and some are different. The gladiator, expanded three rows high, awards the highest line payout of 1000 coins. If you get a full gladiator on a reel it becomes a wild symbol. Then you have characters from the blockbuster movie. These are the evil Commodus, the beautiful Lucilla and the wise Gracchus. The win animations play out their scenes from the movies. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons.

The Gladiator Bonus works in a similar manner. It is triggered by the bonus helmet symbol landing anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4. Nine helmets are displayed in a grid. The gold helmets award the highest bonus, followed by the silver and bronze helmets. Your total bonus is determined by the combination of helmets in the grid. However, if all of the nine helmets are of gold then you get the progressive jackpot.

What is completely different in Road to Rome is the Colosseum free spins. It is triggered by three weapons symbols landing anywhere on the reels. You start with five free spins. But you prepare for the arena by picking shield to combine three mighty modifiers. You can win more free spins or a payout multiplier. The remaining modifiers are more exciting. Symbol Payout Boost increases the payouts awarded by a randomly chosen symbol. Extra Wild Symbol designates another randomly chosen symbol as a wild. In the Symbol Pays As Scatter, the chosen symbol will pay as the table but without the requirement of landing on an active payline. The symbol can land anywhere on the reels. The Gladiator Wild Nudge symbol fills the reel it lands on and turns it wild.

Road to Rome is a 5x3 video slot with 25 paylines that are all enabled by default. The line bet per spin ranges from $0.01 to $5.00. The maximum total bet per spin works out to $125, which will attract high roller players.
