We defy you to play the Gladiator Slot and not have a whale of a time. There are various versions kicking around. The good one is the Playtech version which we are showcasing here and you’ll find on The Sun Casino among others. It borrows heavily for the blockbuster movie of the same name, and is on of the best video slots on the market in our opinion. Playtech also do TV themed slots like the Six Million Dollar Man Slot, but it’s Gladiator which is probably more popular.

Symbols
Symbols are General Maximus, Senator Gracchus, Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Lucilla, Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Nine. If you land 3 or more at the same time the Gladiator Slot pays out

Wild Symbol.
The wild symbol is the Gladiator Helmet which spins around on reels #2,3 and 4. The Helmet can be exchanged for all other symbols on the reels to notch up a win. When you land 3 helmet symbolss simultaneously across 3 reels, you enter the arena: the Gladiator Bonus Round. You will see an additional window in the middle of the playing area with 9 masks which will notch up 2x, 5x and 10x your total bet. You will land cash to the value of all the nine masks.

Scatter Symbol
The scatter symbol is that icon of Rome: the Coliseum. Land this anywhere on the reels to reap the benefits. Land 2 or more scatters on the reels, and you will notch up a cash payment worth 2x to 100x the triggering line bet. Get 3 or more scatters, and the Coliseum Bonus Round is set off.

In the Coliseum Bonus Round, a set of stones in a 4×5 matrix is displayed. You must select one stone from each row. The 1st row gets you free gladiator slot spins, the second row bags you a multiplier, and the 3rd has another scatter symbol that can be launched with the free spins. The 4th row hides an extra wild for free spins. Stones mean prizes here, gladiators!

And not forgetting the Gamble Option which launches when a win is in your pocket (almost!). You can multiply your win by 2x or 4x if you guess the right colour and correct symbol.

Summary
The Gladiator Slot is a fantastic game- one of the top slots available today, in our opinion. This is a slot that leads where other follow. Newer games are matching its fun and excitement (we are thinking particularly of the Iron Man II Slot here, but we struggle to think of a video slot game that beats this one for enjoyment. 5 Stars!
