The mere mention of 100 payline slots makes ears prick up and eyebrows raise. Throw in a gladiator theme and this could be labelled a centurion slot. No, not the Centurion slot also from SG Digital. We guess Scientific Games has a penchant for Roman-themed online slots.

The good news is, so do we, which is why Spartacus Gladiator of Rome is always one to keep on the radar. Mouthful though it is. Not only does it boast 100 paylines (need we mention that again?) but it also sings of a Free Spins feature that can deliver up to 20 free spins, at which point you could be reaching for a jackpot that even the Emperor of Rome would raise a glass to.

GAME FEATURES


Graphics

The graphics on the Gladiator Spartacus of Rome slot are ahead of their time. They would happily be at home in a slot released in 2020 as much as a slot from 2013. This slot is way ahead of its time in another way, in that the two highest paying symbols are a male and female gladiator. It might not be as lady-focussed as the Renegades slot from NextGen, but it does at least hint at an equal opportunities policy.

There is no Wild symbol in this game to help us create winning combos, but there are 100 paylines to look out for so...swings and roundabouts! Or swords and sandals, in this case.

The two Gladiators make up the top two paying symbols and are followed by another Gladiator, Lion, Helmet and Sword as the game’s top-payers. More regular Card Suits make up the lower paying symbols (snooze).


Gameplay

Let’s get the gripe out of the way. You have the option to play 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 lines in Spartacus Gladiator of Rome, but you also have the option to incrementally increase your bet per line by 0.01. Which is fine, really. But you have to do it by 0.01 per increase, which takes a while if you want to jump either up or down in swathes. Which is fine. But when you play online slots you want the betting interface to be as easy and user friendly as possible, which is something that Spartacus Gladiator of Rome concedes to some of its rivals.

However, this slot does have an epic soundtrack and superb visuals, but the real joy from Spartacus Gladiator of Rome comes when you trigger the Free Spins feature. You launch the bonus game when you land three, four or five Colosseum Scatters, which award 8, 12 and 20 free spins respectively. The more Scatters you land also gifts a higher win multiplier, with x2, x5 and x20 your bet on offer.


Verdict

In an epic swords and sandals slot such as this you want the action to come thick and fast and the wins to be as epic as the gameplay. Spartacus Gladiator of Rome achieves both of these thanks to the swashbuckling free spins feature, even if the betting interface is somewhat clunky and the payline win sounds are borrowed from a decade before its release. That this slot can cut through those issues and emerge unscathed on the other side is testament to SG Digital’s outrageous design skills. When these Gladiators of Rome have done in this colosseum it’s not just the emperor that they will get the thumbs from.
