Rome Warrior

The glory of Roman gladiators has endured in the popular imagination for over fourteen centuries. In Rome Warrior, built by London-based gaming designer Bee-Fee...

…modern slot players have the chance to enter the Colosseum themselves, risking their bankrolls, not life and limb, in the quest for victory.

Free spins, wild symbols, and stacked gaming symbols keep this game lively!

Roman Warrior Slot Theme

The 5 reels of this slot are set in the Colosseum – instead of looking down at the gladiatorial pit, however, the player perspective looks up at the stands, placing players in the warrior’s role rather than that of the spectator.

Gaming symbols include warriors of both genders, ferocious lions, gleaming helmets, the Colosseum itself (which appears stacked), and a sharp spear, which acts as wild.

The thumb of the emperor, with the power to decide which gladiators live and which will die, acts as scatter, while lower-value symbols are provided by the playing card values ace through nine.

Dramatic music, heavy with drums and the clang of weapons, makes for engaging sound design.

Betting Options and Functions

Winning in the arena is hard – winning in Rome Warrior is easy!

Instead of traditional pay-lines…

…wins are paid out for consecutive symbols from left to right, which can occur in 243 different ways!

The per-spin bet is set simply from 0.25–50.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay can be toggled on or off, a deviation from the norm in slot play, where this feature is selected for a finite quantity of spins.

Detailed paytable information and sound options are available at the lower corners of the game screen. Information regarding the overall theoretical return to player ratio is unfortunately not available, which is usually an indicator of below-average odds for players.

Features

A gamble feature is available for all wins in base play, so long as autoplay is not engaged.

Players are taken to a separate screen and made to choose between two orbs - one red, one black:

Predicting the correct color will DOUBLE the size of the win, while the incorrect color will drop the win size down to zero. Players can go double-or-nothing multiple times in a row for any win.

Three or more scatter symbols will award 10 free spins, during which time extra spear wild symbols will appear on the reels. The feature can also be re-triggered, extending the bonus by an additional ten free spins.

Our Take

Tales of combat from the Colosseum loom large for a reason – this is thrilling material and a wonderful theme for an online slot.

As is often the case with Bee-Fee’s games, Rome Warrior is a bit stronger on style than on substance:

More original features and better information about odds would certainly befit this slot’s epic subject matter.

All the same, players bold enough to step into the arena will certainly enjoy their adventures there.
