Gladiator
5-Reel 25-line Slots
The object of Gladiator is to obtain winning symbol combinations by spinning the reels.
To play the game:
- A wagering denomination can be chosen by clicking the Click to Change denomination button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
- Line bets are chosen by clicking Bet per Line. Each click adds a coin to the line bet. When the maximum amount is reached, clicking the button again resets the line bet to one coin.
- Paylines are chosen by clicking Lines to add a payline, or by using the numbered buttons on either side of the reels. Selecting a high payline includes all the lower ones too. For example, selecting payline 6 also activates paylines 1 through 5. Clicking Bet Max activates all paylines with the maximum bet per line and spins the reels.
- Total bet per game round = line bet X active paylines.
- Clicking Spin spins the reels with the current selection of lines and line bets.
- Reels can also be spun using the Auto Start function. Clicking + or – above Auto Start selects the successive number of spins to be enabled. Clicking Auto Start spins the reels. The Auto Start button changes into Stop during the Auto Start mode of reelspin. The Auto Start mode ends when the reels have been spun the number of times determined by the player, or when the player clicks Stop.
- Wins are calculated according to the paytable. Line win = line bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. Scatter win = total bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. The paytable can be accessed via the Info page.
- On a given payline, only the highest win combination pays while simultaneous winnings on different paylines are added up together.
- In case of a winning spin, the Win field displays the accumulating winnings. The win ticker can be stopped by clicking on the Win field.
Info page:
- Clicking Info opens the reference screen describing different game components. Clicking the arrow buttons at the lower right-hand corner of the screen enables navigating between the different info screens.
- Paytable screen shows all winning combinations. When opened after a winning spin, the winning symbol combinations (symbol amount and bet multiplier) are highlighted and blink.
- The Missile Attack Bonus screen specifies the symbol combinations necessary to enter the Missile Attack Bonus Game and describes the bonus game rules.
- The Expanding Wild Feature screen and the Iron Man Feature screen describe the unique behavior of the two Iron Man body symbols in this game.
- Show Paylines can be clicked from the Paytable page to open a screen which illustrates all possible payline combinations. Clicking Hide Paylines closes this screen and returns to the Paytable page.
- Clicking Back exits the Info screen and returns to the game.
Paylines:
Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. Paylines can be activated and their shape displayed by progressively clicking Lines.
Please note: Only active paylines can register wins. The Scatter symbol is an exception to this rule. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.
Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much is being bet on a single payline. The total bet shows all game round bets. Payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet. An exception to this is the Scatter symbol where the payout shown in the paytable is multiplied by the total bet. If winning combinations exist on more than one payline, winnings for each payline are added up.
About payouts:
Payouts are listed on the Paytable screen. To find the possible win amount, the line bet must be multiplied by the payout. If two winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up. The winning combinations must start from the leftmost reel, and the symbols have to be consecutive.
Wild symbol
The Wild symbol (the Gladiator Helmet) can appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and stand for any other symbol, except Scatter, to make the best possible winning combination. The Wild symbol does not have a regular win, it only wins when substituting. If three Wilds appear simultaneously in any position on the reels 2, 3 and 4, the Gladiator Bonus round is initiated.
Scatter symbol
The Scatter symbols (the Coliseum) do not have to occur on a particular payline – if there are two or more Scatter symbols in any position on the reels, an additional win is earned. The payout for the Scatter symbols is multiplied by the total bet. If three or more Scatters appear simultaneously on the reels, the Coliseum Bonus round is initiated.
The Gladiator Bonus round
The Gladiator Bonus round is triggered when three Wilds (Gladiator Helmets) appear simultaneously in any position on the reels 2, 3 and 4. In the Gladiator Bonus round, a centered window reveals 9 masks in either gold, silver or bronze, equal to 10, 5 or 2 times the total bet respectively. The Gladiator Bonus round prize equals to the total value of those 9 masks.
The Coliseum Bonus round
The Coliseum Bonus round is triggered when three or more Scatters (Coliseums) appear in any position on the reels. The Coliseum Bonus round includes a grid of four rows and five columns. Starting from the bottom row, the player picks one stone at a time from the rows to win a prize. Stones picked from the first row determine the number of free games. Stones picked from the second row reveal the win multiplier to be used during the free games. Stones picked from the third row reveal an Extra Scatter symbol to be used during the free games. Stones picked from the fourth row reveal an Extra Wild symbol to be used during the free games. Extra Wild can be one of the five theme symbols only. Extra Scatter can be one of the royals symbols or theme symbols except Commodus and Lucilla. When a stone is picked, one of the following can occur:
- The next pick is made from the following row.
- An extra pick is given in the currently active row (applies only for the first and second row).
- The whole column is automatically opened.
- The selected stone reveals a Collect item – the bonus round ends and the free spins start.
During the free games, the Coliseum Bonus round can not be retriggered. However, if Commodus appears on reel 3 during the free games, 3 extra free games are added to the remaining ones. The win multiplier, Extra Wild and Extra Scatter symbols do not change. During the free games, the Gladiator Bonus round can occur. Note that the free games multiplier does not apply on the Gladiator Bonus round prizes. During free games, the Wild and Extra Wild substitute for all symbols, except Scatter and Extra Scatter. Wild also substitutes for the Extra Wild theme symbol. The Extra Scatter win is multiplied by the total bet.
