Gladiator Slots

GladiatorGladiator is a BetSoft 3D Slot that brings forward the old theme of the gladiator and the Roman Empire. People’s fascination with gladiators is evident, with the story of Spartacus usually being the one they know. With movies and TV series seeing a huge following when they are on this subject, and being well made at the same time, it’s understandable why BetSoft would do the same thing with a slot machine. They’re not the only ones choosing a gladiator theme for a slot machine, but they are the ones that probably got the best game made.

Gladiator’s 5 reels get a total of 30 bet lines, and the bets you place on them will get you payouts of up to $3,750, plus access to bonus games, multipliers, scatter symbols and wilds.

Features of Gladiator

As you will discover by playing any of the 3D slots from BetSoft, what they aim to do with them is to provide immense value and entertainment to their players. This doesn’t always translate in big prizes, since the bonus games tend to be too good to allow for huge payouts to be offered as well.

One example of an interesting symbol is the Princess, a beautiful girl in a 3D design, and also the trigger for a bonus feature. Get the Princess on the 1st position of a reel, and you will find that she will trigger a Wild X2 feature. You will notice her tossing rose petals below her, which will turn the two symbols located underneath into wild symbols that have x2 multipliers for any payouts awarded with their help.

Another wild feature of Gladiator would be the one triggered by the Hero Gladiator character. You need it on the 3rd reel, in any of the three available positions, and the result will be the Gladiator Smash Wild Reel bonus feature. During this feature, you will get a marble slab which will cover the 3rd reel completely, with our hero going to it and smashing it. Once the marble is smashed, you will notice that the 3rd reel turned into a wild. Though the game makes this part a bit elaborate, what this really gives you is an expanding wild.

Not all symbols can appear in a random position and still award their prizes. Some have to occupy positions on the same active line, as is the case with the Door symbol. You need at least three of them on that active line, and their presence is the trigger for a Click Me bonus game. You click on one of those symbols, and you get an instant prize from it. You can keep clicking on these symbols until the Collect symbol is found.

The Coliseum, one of the most well known images from Rome, will act as a scatter symbol in Gladiator, the kind that gives away cash prizes. Three scattered Coliseum symbols will get you 60 times the line bet, while four scatters will get you 300x and five scatters will mean 750 times the line bet.

Prepare for Battle

The most exciting feature of the game would be the bonus round called “Prepare for Battle”. You need three types of symbols to start this bonus game, and they have to be on adjacent reels. They can be either on reels 1, 2 and 3, or they can be on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels. The three symbols are the Hero, the Coliseum and the Villain.

Once the bonus game begins, you can choose the Gladiator you want to represent you, and then the battle will begin. You don’t have to do anything about it, just watch the battle and see if your representative was the winner. As the battle advances, attacks and blocks made by your gladiator will give you prizes, while a KO would give you a significant prize boost.

Betting options and jackpots

Gladiator allows you to place bets inside of up to 150 coins/$150. Just like the Romans did when they went to the Coliseum to watch a fight, you can place a bet on the outcome of each spin. In your case, this bet can be composed of up to five $1 coins for each of the 30 lines, or it can be reduced in value by using fewer coins and denominations as small as $0.02.

The prizes you get in return are not exactly impressive. Two different symbols can give you prizes of up to $2,000 from regular combinations, while the scatter symbol will bring about a prize of $3,750.

Design and symbols

The design is not something you need to be worried about when it comes to 3D slots. BetSoft did an outstanding job in Gladiator, using highly detailed 3D images of characters, buildings and various weapons and objects. The gladiators look fierce, the princess is beautiful and the reels are encased in white marble, with betting options also using short marble columns to support them.

Symbols: Gladiator (wild, 400x), Princess (bonus), Door (bonus), Coliseum (scatter, 750x), Villain (400x), Sword and Shield (250x), Spike Metal Ball and Shield (250x), Tiger (150x), Horse (100x), Flag (75x), Gold Coins Bag (50x) and Gold Chalice (25x).
