Theme – join Spartacus in his quest for freedom and fortune

With an ancient Roman theme, the Game of Gladiators Uprising slot is the sequel to Game of Gladiators (which was released in June 2019). In this game, Spartacus faces his ultimate challenge in the coliseum as he fights for freedom and fortune. So grab your swords, spears and shields.

Set inside the coliseum, you will see the emperor perched above the battle scene. It’s very much like the scene in the Gladiator film directed by Ridley Scott and made Russell Crowe a household name worldwide. You will also see gladiators either side of the reels to add to the intensity.

On the reels, you will see Roman style A, K, Q and J playing cards as well as shackles, blades, flails and helmets. The helmet is the best paying symbol with 2, 5 or 30 x bet awarded for 3, 4 or 5 across any payline.

The Game of Gladiators Uprising slot comes with 3 gladiator wild symbols: Bellica, Spartacus and Emperor Gaius. Acting as scatters too, they substitute for all symbols and can trigger a bonus feature (more details below).

Game of Gladiators Uprising Bonus Features

The Game of Gladiators Uprising slot has 4 bonus features. With gladiator wilds triggering their own feature for random wilds, wild reels and multiplier wilds, it’s all about the Champions of the Arena free spins. Collect gladiators to get re-spins with gladiator ability features and random multipliers up to 50x. Free spins continue until a gladiator loses all their lives or you play 100 free spins.

Gladiator’s Ability features

When at least 1 of any gladiator symbol lands on the reels, the corresponding Gladiator’s Ability feature will be triggered. A re-spin is awarded with the respective gladiator’s ability coming into play:

Champions of the Arena Free Spins feature

The Champions of the Arena Free Spins feature is triggered when 2 gladiator symbols land on the reels simultaneously. Before the free spins begin, Guess the Victor takes place. If you guess the winner, you will receive a 5 x bet bonus prize.

With no set number of free spins awarded, the free spins continues until a gladiator wins or loses the battle, up to 100 free spins. Now, every gladiator begins with 3 lives. Collecting 5 of the same gladiators will reach an attack point and trigger a re-spin with the respective gladiator’s ability and a random multiplier of 2x, 5x, 10x or 50x.

With each gladiator having up to 3 attack points to reach, each re-spin awards the gladiator’s ability and reduces the opponent’s life. The feature then ends when a gladiator loses all 3 lives. However, the result of the battles are random and won’t affect the results on the reels.

The free spins can also end once you’ve played 100 free spins. If the result of the battle is a draw, the Guess the Victor prize won’t be awarded. If both gladiators reach the 3^rd attack point on the same free spin, the Guess the Victor prize is guaranteed.

Game of Gladiators Uprising Review Summary – similar to original game but with bigger rewards

The Game of Gladiators Uprising slot takes after it’s predecessor. Graphically, I would say the symbols and visuals are better in the original game. That’s not often that is said/written about a sequel. If you take Money Train 3 for example, Relax Gaming really upped their game compared to the second installment.

When it comes to the gameplay, Game of Gladiators Uprising is a little simpler than the original slot. Also offering a variety of base game features, there are 3 in this game whilst there are 5 in Game of Gladiators. The Emperor Strike feature is the most lucrative with up to three 2x multiplier wilds appearing on the reels.

All the action culminates in the Champions of the Arena Free Spins feature where you’ll play up to 100 free spins or until a gladiator loses all 3 lives. The aim is to collect gladiators which then reward you with re-spins, the appropriate ability feature and a random multiplier up to 50x. Landing the Full Strike feature (Bellica) will give you up to 2 wild reels which can be subject to a 50x multiplier.

With 6,000 x bet max wins available, it’s the free spins where they will come from due to the random multipliers. A screen full of the helmet symbol will result in a 900 x bet payout so you need those multipliers to work their magic. However, the volatility is in the medium range which is a refreshing change of brutally volatile games offered by Play ‘n GO.

Overall, the Game of Gladiators Uprising slot is a step-up from the original game. Whilst Game of Gladiators boasts 5,000 x bet top payouts, only 500 x bet can be won per spin. The 5,000 x bet number is in the feature as a whole.

If you like ancient Roman, the coliseum, gladiators and battles, there are better slots out there. Playtech’s Gladiator: Road to Rome slot is the official game of the iconic movie and comes with 30,000 x bet max wins as well as a progressive jackpot worth £822,054.07.

Likewise, other examples include Legion X by Nolimit City and Gladiator Legends from Hacksaw Gaming which offer 31,000 and 10,000 x bet max wins respectively.
