Gladiator Slot

Intro

Sound the fanfare! Welcome to Microgaming’s FIRST 50 line video slot machine. This 5 reel 50 line monster is equipped with the best animations, crystal-clear symphonic sounds, brilliant prizes and above all...an audience; well it sounds like one anyway! The Gladiator slot bares an uncanny resemblance to the classic 2000 film by the same name and even the leading lady in the slot looks like the actress Connie Nielsen from the film. Regardless of its controversies, this slot is jam-packed with superb features from the usual wilds, scatters, and spectacular 100 free-spins, you also have the exclusive opportunity of mixing icons to vary your pay combinations. No matter what aspects of slots you most prefer, there’s plenty here on offer for anyone to enjoy.

Review

As with many other Microgaming games recently produced, (like Curry in a Hurry or Path of the Penguin) you are greeted with an introductory animation that really sets the tone of the forthcoming game. Hear the roar of the amphitheatre’s crowd, see the Gladiator puff out his chest after victory and notice the Maiden innocently glance your way. If that isn’t enough to start you on this epic adventure of a slot, then think about the prizes on offer! The minute you enter the game, you realise that it is far more special than your usual video slot machine. The surround sound of the crowd is complemented by the contemplative yet victorious music in the background. The animation for the reel spins is smooth, and the general slot sounds used all have the feeling of exceptional thought.

There are four main symbols you will want to reveal from your spins; the scatter symbol of the Golden Eagle, the wild icon of the Gladiator Coin, and the Gladiator and Maiden icons that can work together to win you superb prizes. The scatter icon can win you up to 250 times your total spun bet and also up to 100 free-spins with up to a 5 times multiplier. The wild can help create you winning combinations from seemingly empty spins. One of the most fabulous examples of a new device is the Mixed-Pay feature. If you spin 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the Gladiator or Maiden symbol across an active payline, you can drop a line multiplier of 5, 75, 750 or 5,000 times respectively. However if you create a mixture combo of the two different icons, a 2, 3, 4 or 5 combo will drop you a 3, 50, 250 or 2,000 times respectively. This feature is something completely unique and has all the promise in becoming a certain standard in future video slots.

This game oozes quality from every part. The design aspects are a complete success, and the numerous prizes on offer would be overwhelming if they were not so brilliant! Microgaming has once again upped their standards of slots gaming and not only will it make their competitors try to do the same, but it all leads to one thing...benefiting you the gamer.

Wild Symbol

The golden Gladiator Coin is the wild symbol. It can substitute itself for any other icon except the scatter symbol. This is extremely handy when spins don’t seem to go your way, as it can help create you winning combinations when it seems that a spin hasn’t gone your way.

Scatter Symbol

The scatter symbol is the Golden Eagle icon. Spin 2, 3, 4 or 5 across the reels to win a prize of your total spun multiplied by 2, 3, 20 or 250 times respectively. If you had scattered three or more of the icon across the reels, you will also be granted a massive 100 free-spins!

Free Spins

Spin 3, 4 or 5 of the scatter symbol across the reels to trigger up to 100 free spins. Not only are you able to get so many spins but with the possibility of up to a 5 times multiplier for your winnings, you will surely have a rewarding time at this machine. Listen out for the music in the background during these free spins! Apart from us at SlotsLogic.com making almost 18,000 coins, we noticed that the music sounds like a theme called ‘Now We Are Free’ from the Gladiator film...recognise it? ;)
