Gladiators Gold is one of the slot machines with classic inspiration from Microgaming. They have a number of such slot machines, many of them without features, which have slightly different themes. In this case, it’s the gladiator theme, realized in a cartoon style that makes the fighter look like he’s from a Conan movie. He has the crowds of the Coliseum behind him, and he looks like a tough guy. The game keeps the classic symbols for the most part though, so it’s the outer areas that get the themed treatment.
3 reels and 3 lines are part of the Gladiators Gold slot. No features are to be found in the game, but at least the jackpot goes up to $20,000.
Features of Gladiators Gold
The game’s lack of features shouldn’t be surprising. Slot machines with 3 reels will often try to be as simple as possible, as that is one of the reasons why they have their own fan base. Not everyone enjoys a game with lots of features to complicate things, and in a title like Gladiators Gold you know exactly what you’re getting, a slot with simple action.
Betting options and jackpots
As it usually happens when three lines are used, you need three coins to cover them all, no more. Microgaming uses coins of $0.25 to $5 for its classic slots, so the maximum bet goes up to $15.
The prizes awarded in Gladiators Gold vary between 1,000 and 4,000 coins, depending on the payline on which the three Red Sevens appear together. The denomination being set to the maximum of $5, the jackpot is worth $20,000.
Design and symbols
The design is cartoonish, and if you look at the background picture you will see where the gladiator theme is coming from. The symbols don’t have much of a gladiator theme, only one of them, a 7, having some kind of gold coin placed in front of it. All the others are very boring and simple symbols, used in hundreds of other slot machines.
Symbols: Red Seven (4,000 coins), Golden 7 (150 coins), Three Bar (50 coins), Two Bar (20 coins) and One Bar (10 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
The design doesn’t do much to keep you playing, and since there are no features offered you’re relying mostly on the $20,000 jackpot to keep you happy. Is that enough? I’ll let you decide.
The Gladiators Gold slot machine is offered through the Microgaming platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
