Sequel to Playtech's Gladiator online slot announced

Playtech has followed up on its 2008 smash hit branded progressive jackpot slot Gladiator with a sequel featuring the same theme from Scott Ridley’s epic movie.

The new game is a 5 reel, 25 pay-line slot with an RTP of 95.05 percent titled Gladiator – Road to Rome.

The graphics faithfully capture characters from the film like betrayed Roman general Maximus, the evil emperor Commodus and his sister Lucilla, along with Proxima the retired gladiator-lanista, all set against the magnificant backdrop of the Colosseum and ancient Rome.

Features include Wilds, Scatters, access to a progressive jackpot, nudging wilds, Free Spins, up to 40x Multipliers and Pick Me elements in which the player makes a selection of 3 from twelve imperial shields.

The progressive is dependent on the Gladiator Bonus, in which nine bronze, silver and gold gladiator helmets determine the ultimate outcome.
