Since there are so many movies, games and TV series discussing gladiators, the theme has become more and more fascinating in the past years for the fans. Following this trend, Playtech decided that it was time to release a new exciting jackpot game, the Gladiator Jackpot.
The game has 5 reels and 25 paylines, a slot game that offers excitement in the arena for all gladiators out there. Winning combinations are quite a few. Furthermore, the true jackpot means your total bet gets multiplied by 5,000. Is it worth the battle? I think it is, indeed.
The Gladiator Jackpot Bonus
Winning the jackpot is the great achievement at a slots game such as Gladiator Jackpot, but money can be gathered from the bonus rounds as well. The bonus game is rather short, but has its challenges.
In order to trigger a side battle, you will need three wild symbols posted strategically on the reels numbered 2, 3 or 4. Automatically, you will be led to a nine helmet game, where the helmets are either gold, silver or bronze. Here, you can win a number between 1-5, which will multiply your line bet. And now comes the good news: all the 9 helmets are available for you to win at a single bonus round.
The Coliseum Bonus
For those who got excited finding out about the bonus above, look out because there is even more! The Coliseum Bonus is the one that gets you the free spins. Once you manage to have three Coliseum symbols on the reels, not on the same line, but anywhere on the screen, the bonus round will be triggered. After you watch and observe the movie clip that preceeds the actual play, you will enter into a four rows screen. There, different stones will appear and the player must choose one stone from every row, as follows:
- 1st row – free spins
- 2nd row – multipliers
- 3rd row – extra scatters
- 4th row – extra wilds
If you manage to get the Commodus symbol on the third line, you can enjoy the three extra free spins.
The symbols
Wild symbol – this is the symbol that will replace any other symbol on the line, except for the Scatter symbol, so that you can win the best combination. However, it can appear only on the reels 2, 3 and 4. If three symbols appear altogether on one reel, you're in for the Gladiator Jackpot Bonus.
Scatter symbol – these symbols don't have a particular position. Once two or more symbols appear after a spin, there will be additional winning. Usually, the payout is multiplied by what the player bet in total per spin. For three or more Scatter symbols at the same time on the screen, the player enters into the Coliseum Bonus.
