Play Gladiators Victory for Free

The theme of the game comes through loud and clear as soon as you enter the opening screen. There are gladiators standing in a victory pose in the centre of the colosseum with crowds all around on their feet cheering. The only thing missing here is an exuberant sound track or musical sequence. Instead the base game is a quiet affair with the only noise coming when you hit a win. The bonus rounds, however, do have music which is suitably dramatic. The symbols here include lions, gladiators and weapons and armour while there are also some high card symbols to award the lower payouts.

Gladiators Victory features 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines. You can select your bet level by clicking the plus and minus symbols to move your overall bet from a minimum of 0.01 per payline to 0.50 per payline, giving a minimum total bet of 0.20 and a max bet of 10.00. This is quite a low betting range so this makes the game most suitable for lower and middle rollers. The other options in this game include an auto spin feature, which allows you to play up to 500 spins automatically. You can also choose to open up the paytable by pressing the blue button to display all the symbols and their respective payouts.

The payouts here are decent and should give lots of opportunities for building up a good bankroll. This is especially true as this is a low to medium volatility game, so you should see lots of small, regular wins. The top award comes from the wild symbol, which is the gladiator raising his shield. This pays up to €4,500 for 5 matching symbols on a payline. This symbol also stands in for the others to award extra combinations, while any win involving the wild receives a doubled payout!

Other high-paying symbols include the gold helmet scatter, which pays 1,000 for 5 matching symbols, and the other 2 gladiator symbols which both pay up to 375 for 5 matches. The lion pays up to 200 and the swords and shield both pay up to 125. The high cards pay the lower awards from 50 to 62.50 for 5 matches.

If you spin at least 3 scattered gold helmet symbols you will trigger the free spins bonus game. When this happens you get to choose your own bonus game from 4 options with different combinations of free spins and multipliers. You can choose 20 free spins with a 3x multiplier, 15 free spins with a 4x multiplier, 10 free spins with a 6x multiplier, or 6 free spins with a 10x multiplier. The best thing is that you can re-trigger the bonus round during your free spins for potentially a huge number of spins and multipliers!

After any win you always get the chance to play a gamble game and potentially double your winnings. This is a quick card game where you can choose either red or black to guess which card will turn up next in the deck. If you guess correctly you will double your payout – but choose the wrong colour and you lose your winnings from that spin. You can gamble up to 5 times, so this is a great option for risk-takers!

If you enjoy playing Gladiators Victory slot from Xplosive Slots, there are a number of other titles that have a similar style. Check out Queen of the Nile 2 by Aristocrat and Endless Summer by Merkur, which both have plenty of free spins and multipliers.

Gladiators Victory gives players an attractive and exciting theme which makes it ideal for fans of action slots and those with a historical angle. The bonus round is the best part of the game, triggering regularly and giving you the chance to customise it with your own choice of free spins and multipliers. Overall this is a dramatic and engaging slot, which could only be improved by more effective background music in the base game.
