Playtech Gladiator Slot Overview
If you’ve seen the 2000 movie Gladiator, you’ll definitely want to have a go at this slot, which is themed to the hit film and has lots of exciting features.

This review covers all the slot’s key features, so give it a read before you start playing.

How To Play Gladiator Slot
To get your bet size set, there are two variables for you to adjust: the number of paylines (one to twenty-five) and the bet per line value (0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 or 1.00). The two you choose are multiplied together and the total is your bet size per spin. The smallest amount of money you’re able to bet with is 0.01, while the largest is 25.00. Click on the ‘SPIN’ button to spin the reels and play when you’ve got your bet set. Click on ‘AUTOPLAY’ to make the slot spin the reels a set number of times, or until a feature is triggered.
 

Gladiator Slot Features

• Gladiator Theme. The slot is inspired by the hit 2000 film Gladiator. It stars Russell Crowe as a Roman general who is betrayed when his rival kills his father and takes the throne. He ends up in slavery and gradually becomes a gladiator, eventually going on to get his revenge on the man who murdered his father. Unlike some other branded slots, Gladiator features the likeness of the film’s main characters. The slot’s set in the Coliseum with Russell Crowe’s gladiator character in the foreground.
   

• Twenty-Five Paylines. All of the slot’s paylines run from left to right. For you to win and get paid, a minimum number of matching symbols need to land consecutively on a payline that’s covered by your bet, with the symbols starting on the leftmost reel.
   

• Symbols. The slot’s six low-paying symbols are gold card ranks A-9. The five standard symbols are characters from the movie. All standard symbols require three or more on a payline for you to get paid; the Commodus and Lucilla ones, however, only require two. Commodus is the most valuable of the slot’s standard symbols. Land five on an active payline for a prize worth 5,000x your bet per line value.
   

• Bonus Symbols. There are two bonus symbols you’ll want to appear as you play. The Coliseum symbol is the scatter. It pays out for two to five anywhere on the grid and if you land five, you’re paid a sum worth 100x your total bet. The gladiator’s helmet symbol is the wild. This symbol appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for all standard symbols
   

Gladiator Bonus Features

• Coliseum Bonus. To trigger this bonus feature, three or more scatters need to appear on the reels. First, you get to pick stones to reveal prizes. The stones are arranged in four rows and you get to pick one from each row.

  • First Row: Free spins.

  • Second Row: Multipliers for free spins wins.

  • Third Row: Extra scatters.

  • Fourth Row: Extra wilds.

 As well as giving you a prize, each pick gives you one of the following:

• All other prizes in the same column.

• Pick another prize listed in the row above.

• Pick another prize listed in the same row.

• Collect the prize and proceed to the free spins round.

So, you may end up with just some free spins and no bonuses. However, if you’re lucky you’ll end up getting lots of picks and getting to play a round of free spins with quite a few bonuses to help you win. While the free spins are in play, the Commodus symbol landing on reel 3 gives you three extra spins.
 

• Gladiator Jackpot Bonus. Landing three helmet wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 triggers this feature. You’re given nine helmets and each one gives a prize of a different value. There are three categories of prize: bronze, silver and gold. The bronze prizes are the smallest, while the gold ones are the largest. If all nine prizes happen to be gold, you’ll win the slot’s progressive jackpot.
