About Augustus
Augustus is played on 5 reels with 20 paylines, the game is available to play on desktop and mobile devices from 20p up to £200 per spin. The slot is medium variance with RTP set at 96.14%, and maximum wins of 1,000x the bet can be achieved.The reels are opulently decorated in gold and symbols include lower value royals, chalices, rings, daggers, helmets, coins, and two main characters a scary female gladiator and a corrupt King.The Wild logo symbol is present in the game and lands normal size, it can however cover up to 3-reel positions. It is also used as a substitute to create more winning combinations.
Gameplay
After landing two Augustus gold coins on the same reel, these are then collected in a meter above the reel. This turns the reel fully wild and remains for the next two spins.If a Roman flag lands on reels 1, 3, and 5 you access the free spins feature. Here you have a choice to make. You get to choose how many free spins and wild reels are present. If you chose 3 wild reels you get 2 spins, 2 wild reels play 8 free spins, and 1 wild reel plays 25 free spins.
Conclusion
Augustus is a decent game and having a choice in the free spins is great but only playing 2 spins for 3 wild reels, I would have expected to be higher. Unfortunately, the top prize of 1000x is a little disappointing, but it hits the spot for a multitude of players looking for smaller or slightly larger payouts.
