How To Play Gladiator
The Gladiator slot machine from Betsoft Gaming is part of their sensational 3D slots range and it is one of their most played games. As with most games in this range it has five reels and thirty paylines, and it pays both from left to right, and right to left.
Symbols include a Hero and Villain Gladiator, Roman Chariot, Bag of Gold Coins, Tiger, Princess, Sword and Shield, Flail and Shield, Gaolden Chalice, Flag, a Coliseum, and Coliseum Door. The Coliseum symbol is actually a Scatter and five of them pay out an impressive jackpot of 15,000 coins, and there are several bonus features which also feature handsome rewards.
When players land three or more Coliseum Door symbols it activates a click me game. The symbols which triggered it turn into ‘click me symbols’ and players must choose one at a time to reveal a prize amount. This continues until one of the symbols reveals the word collect, which then sees the bonus coins added together and rewarded to players as a prize.
Another feature is the Gladiator Smash Wild Reel. This begins when players land the Hero Gladiator on the middle reel. The whole reel then turns into a concrete slab before the Hero Gladiator smashes through it turning it Wild.
When a Princess symbol lands on the first position of any reel it sees her throw rose petals below her, and as they fall onto the other symbols it turns them Wild with a 2x multiplier attached.
The main feature is the Gladiator Battle which is a second screen bonus game. It requires players to land the Hero, Coliseum and Villain symbols in a row on the first three, or middle three, reels. This sees players choose one of two Gladiators who they want/expect to win in a battle in the Coliseum. For every time the players chosen Gladiator makes a block or successfully lands an attack coins are earned, with the biggest prize coming when your Gladiator defeats his enemy.
