Take up your sword and fight like a gladiator in the Gladiator slot game from software creator Playtech. There are scenes from the 2000 movie, 2 bonus rounds and a progressive jackpot to look forward to in this 5 reel, 25 payline game.
Theme
In the film, General Maximus is imprisoned as a gladiator after finding his family murdered and being torn from the Roman army. He seeks revenge on Emperor Commodus and finally gets a chance to fight him in the Coliseum. The reels are set against the backdrop of the Coliseum and feature characters from the movie such as Russell Crowe who plays General Maximus and Joaquin Phoenix as Emperor Commodus. The graphics are nice enough in this game and the backing music has the feel of an epic movie, but the reels don’t have an especially unique look about them.
How to Play
The Coliseum symbol is the scatter and finding at least 3 of these will trigger the exciting Coliseum bonus feature. The gladiator symbol is the wild and this can substitute for all other symbols with the exception of the scatter. The Emperor Commodus symbol is the highest paying in this game and you’ll be rewarded with a 5,000 coin jackpot for finding 5 of these on the reels.
Coliseum Bonus
Finding between 3 and 5 Coliseum scatter symbols in this slot will trigger this bonus feature in which you’ll need to pick out stones from the Coliseum wall. You can win free spins and multipliers, plus if you get 7, 8 or 9 free spins you’re also able to win extra wild symbols from these stones. When Commodus appears on reel 3 during this bonus you’ll be rewarded with an extra 3 free spins.
Gladiator Bonus
The Gladiator Bonus can be triggered with 3 gladiator symbols on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels. You’ll be able to win up to 45x your stake as 9 helmets will be chosen for you and each will win you a cash prize. Bronze, silver and gold helmets can be yours, but winning 9 gold helmets will reward you with the progressive jackpot.
