The Coliseum is the landmark image of ancient Rome, where slaves were forced to fight men and beasts against all odds. Many gladiators like Spartacus have become legendary. This article reviews two online slot games both titled Gladiator.

The Microgaming Gladiator video slot is live at online casinos like Royal Vegas, All Slots and Spin Palace. It is a fairly old online slot game available only on the download platform of Microgaming online casinos. The styling of the graphics is simple, but the audio is fantastic and takes you to the arena. The gaming action will not let you down. The online slot game has 50 paylines, which was an innovation when the game was released. The thematic symbols depict both the marital might of Rome and its decadent life style. They include gladiator, maiden, banquet, horses, sword, helmet, wine and fountain. The gladiator and maiden also pay in mixed combinations, but lower amounts. The gold coin is the wild symbol. The golden eagle ensign is the scatter symbol. Apart from awarding payouts multiplied by the total bet it triggers a guaranteed 100 free spins. Do not expect this feature to trigger often.

The Playtech video slot game is based on the award winning movie Gladiator that starred Russel Crowe in the lead role. It is live at online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino. Characters from the movie appear as symbols on the reels. These include Emperor Commodus, Proximo and Lucilla. However, a surprise omission is Crowe as the gladiator Maximus. During the win animations you will see short clips of the popular scenes from the movie. The Coliseum symbol activates the free spins feature. But you are first taken to a second screen where you select stones from different rows. These reveal the number of free spins awarded up to 24, the payout multiplier up to 3x, an extra scatter symbol and an extra wild symbol. If Commodus appears on reel 3 during the free spins you will be awarded three additional free spins. The helmet takes you to the Gladiator Bonus round. You select nine helmets from those displayed on the second screen. Each helmet reveals a gold, silver or bronze prize with different bonus amounts. The total of the bonuses is credited to your account. The Playtech gamble feature is also included in the Gladiator online slot. Playtech also has a progressive jackpot version of this game called Gladiator Jackpot. You hit the jackpot if you pick nine gold helmets in the Gladiator Bonus.
