Gladiator Jackpot Slot Review

All eyes are on your jackpot slot battle

Much like the 2000 Ridley Scott movie by the same name, this Gladiator Jackpot slot machine will throw you into the heat of the battle as you campaign to win that ultimate jackpot prize.

This Gladiator Jackpot slot game is set in the fighting arena where you get to spin a whole host of the characters from the film, along with the lower paying A – 9 symbols.

You get Commodus, Proximo, Gracchus, Lucilla and Juba all making an appearance. However, there is one character who is obviously painfully missing. That would be the main character Maximums, or Russell Crowe’s. Perhaps he simply didn’t want his face associated with slot machines? Who knows.

This is the second instalment of the Gladiator slots. Both play the same, have the same features except the original Gladiator slot game doesn’t come with a jackpot that can climb into the hundreds of thousands. The return to player rates also differ slightly.

The original has a 94.9% RPT whilst this online jackpot slot comes with a noticeable smaller 91.46% RTP.

If you are not after a jackpot video slot, or just want to spin to try out this game, then you are probably better off playing the original Playtech Gladiator slot.

It’s just as fun, but perhaps not as heart racing as there’s no life-changing sums to be won, but you’re more likely to walk away with a little extra in your pocket.

How to become a Gladiator Jackpot winner

By far the main draw of this video slot, you’ll play in the hope to trigger a few hundred thousand in this progressive jackpot game.

You do that you by finding 3 helmet symbols across reel 2, 3 and 4 -the only reels you can actually find these symbols.

You’ll then enter the Gladiator Jackpot Bonus game. This is where 9 helmets will appear on screen. The colours of the helmets might vary between bronze, silver and gold, each one giving you a different cash prize.

If you are lucky enough to uncover all 9 golden helmets you will become the next big slot jackpot winner!

You’ll win however much is showing on the top right of the screen.

If you don’t find all 9 you still get to walk away from this bonus game with all of the instant cash prizes, which should be enough to help you continue the battle, either to trigger the jackpot bonus game once more or, just as interestingly, the free spins.

More than a jackpot slot machine

Not only do you get the instant cash bonus game, but you can also try your luck in the Coliseum Bonus.

Find three of the coliseum scatter symbols anywhere across the 5 reels and you trigger the bonus game. Here you get to pick from four rows for multipliers, wilds, free spins and extra scatters.

You start your pick from the bottom up with each row giving you:

• Row 1: Select your number of free games
• Row 2: Select your multiplier
• Row 3: Select extra scatter symbol
• Row 4: Select the extra wilds symbol

These are all down to luck of course.

However with enough scatters, wilds and multipliers you can walk away with some very decent wins – upwards of 200x your bet.

Maybe not enough to retire on, but certainly will get you noticed by the Roman audience and win you a little fame a fortune.

Gladiator Jackpot mobile slot on Android and iOS

That’s right ladies and gentlemen, you get to play this Playtech slot machine on your mobile phone, tablet on popular platforms such as Android, iPad and iPhone.

Which means that you get the chance to win that jackpot prize from wherever you may be.

But just like in the online slot you will have to budget wisely and battle hard for your chance at some decent wins.

Why play Gladiator Jackpot slot online?

Well we’ve already mentioned the low return to player rate, which obviously isn’t a positive, so if you are after something that’s a little more giving, perhaps the Hall of Gods or Arabian Nights slots could be a little friendlier.

That said, few casino jackpot slots give you the chance to win big in the game, and with the jackpot.

If though you like the scenes of rome, the Ridley Scott movie, and want to spin between 0.25 and 500 per spin, then this slot machine comes with some very fun spins.

You get two bonus games, the chance at a big progressive jackpot, sounds and graphics that immerse you in to the slot theme, and the chance to gamble any smaller wins for bigger returns.

It’s one of those blockbuster video slot machines that, for us, will have us back when the jackpot gets high enough. The best way to see if this is the casino game for you, is to give it a try for yourself.
