Gladiator Slot Review

How the Game is Designed

When checking out the Gladiator slot, it is easy to tell that the game has been around for a while now. The design is dated, but still features a decent level of quality in the choice of symbols and the animations being more than simple flashing lights.

You will love the gladiator battle bonus which lets you sit back and watch the fight.

The reels take up the entire game screen, and while the user interface would have been excellent in its heyday, it isn’t easy to use. Changing your bets requires clicking the pillars with the option cycling by one each time – there is no option to go back or decrease, so if you click too fast and go past, you will need to lap around.

There are plenty of game symbols to score within the standard game rounds too.

Standard Game Symbols

• Hero Gladiator
• Villain Gladiator (horned helmet)
• Black horses
• Bag of gold coins
• Tiger
• Sword and shield
• Flail and shield
• Golden goblet and coins
• White flag
• Colosseum

There is also a princess symbol and a large iron door symbol, both of which trigger special features.

Slot Game Sounds and Music

The sound effects are a little disappointing for such an iconic slot game. There is no ambient background noise, which sucks because Betsoft had the perfect opportunity to fill the background with noises and sounds from the Colosseum!

Although that being said – the sound effects during the wins and the launch of bonus features are exciting, just the sound quality is not the clearest.

Special Features

You will be entertained for a while with the Gladiator slot by Betsoft, thanks to the wealth of bonus rounds on offer. These features offer wilds with bonus payouts, expanding wild reels, the battle round, and a special reward selection.

Wild 2x Feature

She will trigger her special feature if you are lucky enough to see the princess in the first position across reels two, three, and four. The princess will throw rose petals below, with the petals changing any symbols they touch into 2x wild symbols.

Gladiator Smash Wild Feature

The hero gladiator has your best interest at heart as he continues to fight for you. Landing the hero gladiator in any position on the third reel will trigger the Gladiator smash wild reel.

In this bonus round, marble covers the entire reel until the Gladiator returns to smash the slab and revealing an expanded wild.

Click Me Door Feature

With three or more iron door symbols, you will trigger an instant win ‘click me’ reward. Continue picking from the symbols and earning instant rewards until you reveal the collect symbol.

Gladiator Battle Feature

Set yourself up for battle by lining up the hero, the villain, and the coliseum symbols across three consecutive reels to trigger the excitement-filled gladiator battle feature.

This round is full of fun, pick your Gladiator and watch them battle to the death! Every attack or block your Gladiator makes provides you with free spins.
