Game Overview

The release of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator in the year 2000 proved to be a huge success, bringing in over half a billion dollars at the box office. This movie would go on to romanticise the ancient Gladiator, but one thing that surprised me was that there hasn’t been a barrage of online slots themed around it since. The numbers in this casino game genre are about to increase by one thought, thanks to provider PG Soft with their Gladiator’s Glory slot. As for some stats, we have ourselves a 5-reel game with 720 ways to win an impressive RTP of 96.75% and a maximum win of 5,000x bet.

Fans of PG Soft can look forward to some classic features in this game, including cascading reels, which eliminate winning symbols from the reels before replacing them with new ones for extra chances to win. There’s the inclusion of a multiplier symbol, too, where any wild symbols on the reels after a win has been created will transform into a multiplying wild with a value of up to x5. These become more powerful in the free spins bonus round as all multiplier values are collected at the bottom of the reels, activating each time a new multiplier lands in view.

Have you got what it takes to defeat the evil emperor and leave victorious with the jackpot prize of 5,000x? Why not practice your fighting skills first in our Gladiator’s Glory slot demo, it’s free to play below.

Gladiator’s Glory Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Gladiator’s Glory paytable

PG Soft had, for a while, stuck to creating mainly Asian-themed online slots, but our last couple of slot reviews with the provider first saw us set sail in luxury on their Cruise Royale slot before we swapped the sea for the outback as we went in search of some big wins in Safari Wilds. It’s nice to see the provider continuing to diversify their portfolio more, and with the addition of today’s slot, Gladiator’s Glory, fans of the developer now have a new genre to explore.

Our next stop is over at the paytable, where we find the Gladiator as the highest value symbol, returning 10x bet for a winning combination of five. Next, we have the Tiger at 7.5x, with the Helmet following at 5x bet for a full line of five. Completing the premium section, we have the Shield and Sword along with the Boots, with both symbols returning 4x for a five of a kind win. Dropping down to the low pays, we find these are represented by the royals, where the Ace pays 3x, the King and Queen return 2.5x, and Jack, Ten, and Nine all award 2x bet if five match across a payline.

PG Soft consistently make sure their slot games are accessible for players of all sized budgets, and getting into the action on Gladiator’s Glory can begin from as little as €0.20 a spin, reaching up to a maximum of €100.

Gladiator’s Glory Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Gladiator’s Glory base game

PG Soft’s Gladiator’s Glory is played across a 3x4x5x4x3 reel format with a total of 720 ways to win active on every spin. Wins are awarded if three matching symbols connect on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first. Each winning combo will trigger the cascading reels mechanic, with winning symbols removed from the reels and replaced with new ones that drop down, presenting the chance for additional wins from just one paid spin.

Multiplier Symbol

At any round after wins are paid, any winning Wild symbol on the reels will transform into a multiplier symbol with values of either x2, x3 or x5. At the end of every spin, if there are 1 or more multiplier symbols on the reels, the total win of that spin will be multiplied by the multiplier symbols on the reels.

Gladiator’s Glory Slot Bonus Features

Gladiator’s Glory bonus feature

Players will trigger the bonus round on Gladiator’s Glory if three scatter symbols land in view. A three scatter trigger will award 10 free spins, with each additional scatter adding two extra spins to the starting total.

Free Spins Feature

Any multipliers awarded during free spins will be added and remain at the bottom of the reels until the end of the free spins feature. At the end of every free spin, if there are 1 or more multiplier symbols on the reels, the total win of that spin will be multiplied by the multiplier symbols on the reels and the total win multiplier at the bottom of the reels. If three or more scatters again land in view, the free spins will be re-triggered.

Pros

A theme that hasn't been overly used in the past.
High RTP of 96.75%.

Cons

The free spins don't differ massively from the base game.

Gladiator's Glory Slot Review Final Thoughts

I've really been enjoying the different genres that PG Soft are using on their slots of late, and as Playtech's Gladiator slot was one of my favourite games when I first started playing online, I was pleased to see another game designed with a similar theme.In fairness, Gladiator's Glory isn't anything to shout home about, but if you like the mechanics used in PG Soft slots, then they have been combined well here with a great theme to produce a slot that's worthy of a few spins.
