Game of Gladiators Uprising Review

It’s hard not to picture Russell Crowe in his unforgettable role as Maximus in Ridley Scott’s epic blockbuster from 2000 whenever the word ‘gladiator’ comes into view. Play’n Go have probably found some inspiration there as well, as you get to see battles between the emperor himself and another famous underdog, namely Spartacus. A female gladiator called Bellica is also included, and landing 2 gladiator wilds at the same time triggers the duel bonus round.

The 3 gladiators land on a regular basis as wilds in the base game, awarding respins with gladiator-specific modifiers. You get video game-inspired visuals, and the 2 caged gladiators in the background seem eager enough to have a go at each other. The medium volatility took us by surprise given the violent subject matter, but you can still win up to 6,000x your stake. The bonus round battle comes with random multipliers, and it’s a fight to the death feature.

Game of Gladiators Uprising Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 5 and 30 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you can land Gladiator Wilds on all 5 reels. There are 3 types of gladiator wilds, and these are Spartacus, Bellica, and Emperor Gaius.

They step in for pay symbols to help complete wins as their core function, but they also serve double duty as scatters that trigger features.

You trigger the Respin feature when you land one or more of the same Gladiator Wild on the grid, and the respin comes with a gladiator-specific modifier:

• Legion Slash (Spartacus) - adds 3 to 5 wilds randomly placed on the grid.
• Full Strike (Bellica) - gives you 1 or 2 full reel wilds.
• Emperor Strike (Gaius) - awards 2-3 wilds with an x2 multiplier attached.

You cannot retrigger the feature by landing a new gladiator on the respin, and you trigger the Champions of The Arena Bonus Round when 2 different gladiators land at the same time.The pre-feature Guess the Victor section allows you to pick your favorite fighter, and you win 5x your stake if you pick the winner.

The bonus round goes on until one of the battling gladiators win or lose, and you can get up to 100 free spins at best. Both fighters start with 3 lives, and both gladiator symbols are also collected when they land. Collect 5 to trigger a respin with the respective gladiator’s modifier, as well as a random multiplier of x2, x5, x10, or x50.

Each respin lands a successful attack on the opponent, which removes one life from his/her tally. The feature ends when one of the two gladiators have lost all 3 lives, and you get a draw if you reach the 100 free spins limit. You don’t win the Guess the Victor prize when it ends in a draw, but it is paid in rare cases where both gladiators lose their 3rd life at the same time.

The 200 Spins Game of Gladiators Uprising Slot Experience

You get to see plenty of Gladiator modifiers in the base game, before we land Emperor Gaius and Spartacus at the same time.

It’s safe to say that these two are not the best of friends, and this happens at 1:42 into the 3:47-minute highlights video. You can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button below, and may the best fighter win.

Review Summary

We have seen plenty of Gladiator slots in our time, but it’s not all that often you get to see an actual battle play out. This video game element elevates Play’n Go’s Game of Gladiators Uprising above the average run of the mill stuff, and it’s also fun to be able to place a free bet on which fighter will come out on top. The 5x prize you get for winning that bet isn’t exactly massive, but it keeps the fight more interesting nonetheless.

You get the 3 different gladiator modifiers on a regular basis in the base game, and this is a good example of how packaging goes a long way when it comes to spicing up common features. There is always tension in the air when a gladiator lands, and seeing them duke it out has entertainment value as well. The bonus round multiplier up to x50 can certainly come in handy too, and the 6,000x potential is solid for a medium volatile game. The max win hit rate is 1 in 125m spins, which is okay, and Game of Gladiators is definitely worth a closer look.

• Gladiator battle FS w/ up to x50 multiplier
• Up to 100 FS as long as the battle lasts
