Head back to Roman times with Augustus, a new slot release developed by Neon Valley in partnership with Microgaming. You can spin the reels from 20p up to £100 per go on this medium variance slot which has an RTP of 96.14%.The slot is themed on Caesar Augustus, who was the 1st Roman Emperor. Features include stacked wilds, free spins, wilds and scatters.
Slot details
The reels are set between 2 marble pillars which against a background of large marble buildings to give a feeling of opulence. Symbols on the reels consist of the low value Jack to the Ace royals, a dagger, a chalice, a Roman helmet, a ring, a female soldier and the Emperor himself. The latter two can appear up to 3 symbols high and the Emperor is worth x15 your wager for 5.The wild symbol can substitute all others barring the eagle shield scatter.
Gameplay
Above each reel you will see 2 coin meters. You need to collect 2 coins to fill the meters which then transform the reel below into a wild reel for 2 spins. Wilds will pay out x50 your wager for 5, but if you fill the entire reels with wilds you will earn x1,000 your wager.Landing 3 of the shield scatters on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels in a single spin will double your winnings. You can then choose from either 2 free spins which will include 3 wild reels, 8 free spins including 2 wild reels or 25 free spins with only 1 wild reel.Augustus is an enjoyable game to play with some pretty decent graphics and is very similar to the Age of Conquest slot. You can land winning combinations pretty often, but the main disappointment was the maximum potential win being worth only x1,000 of your wager, which I guess will put a lot of players off.
