Try the Gladiator here at Will Hill >>

 

The 5 reel 25 line jackpot slot Gladiator released by PlayTech in 2012 is one of the most thrillingly compelling jackpot slot games ever created and has yet to be matched by a video slot combining amazing quality graphics and sound with a ‘meteoric’ progressive jackpot which shoots regularly to well over the $2 million mark.

Gladiator is one of the most popular slots featuring in the William Hill Casino games suite and is also available for play on mobile devices by downloading the free apps described on the William Hill mobile platform.

 

Playing for the Progressive Jackpot

The path to the Gladiator progressive jackpot is uncomplicated with players needing only to activate 3 or more helmet symbols leading to the Gladiator Bonus game where the appearance of 9 golden helmets all over the reels gives you the ultimate life changing prize of the progressive jackpot.

As with most progressive jackpot slots, it is necessary to activate all 25 paylines to be ‘in the running’ for this enormous win but with a maximum bet per spin capped at 25 coins and a coin range of $0.10-$1.00 it is a game suited to everybody’s gaming wallet.

The ageless Gladiator slot has a dynamic format blending authentic audio-visual extracts of the blockbuster movie ‘Gladiator’ starring Russell Crowe with many recognizable animated characters from the film released in the year 2000. The 5 reels are set against the impressive background of the legendary Coliseum in Rome where the ‘hair-raising’scenes come to life as soon as the paylines are activated with the inspirational sound track from the movie evoking the hysterical atmosphere of the arena.

 

About the Symbols on the Reels

The main characters starring in the Gladiator movie excluding Russell Crowe are the symbols with the highest value in the game so look out for Oliver Reed, Connie Nielson, Djimon Hounsou, Joaquin Phoenix and Derek Jacobi to boost your winnings on the activated paylines. An inspirational sequence from the Gladiator movie plays as soon as you hit on a winning combination including any of the main stars of the movie making the game extraordinarily entertaining as well as rewarding. Standard playing card numbers and letters are also present as low value symbols.

The ‘Wild’ symbol represented by the gladiator’s helmet substitutes for every other symbol in the game except the ‘Scatter’ and the ‘Scatter’ represented by the coliseum multiplies your win by up to 100X when it appears on at least 2 reels anywhere in the game.

The ‘Wild’ and ‘Scatter’ symbols only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 and as soon as you get 3 coliseum ‘Scatters’ anywhere, you trigger the Coliseum Bonus game and when the helmet ‘Wilds’ appear on reels 2,3 and 4 simultaneously they trigger the Gladiator Bonus game.

 

Colisseum Bonus Game

The Coliseum bonus game is a highly lucrative bonus game when compared to jackpot slots in a similar class. Players can win a broad selection of prizes by lifting stones to reveal their winnings which include free spins, extra ‘Scatter symbols’, multipliers and extra ‘wilds’.

 

Gladiator Bonus Game

Players who activate the Gladiator Bonus round are taken to a separate screen where there are bronze, silver or gold helmets allowing you to win up to 45X your bet stake. The progressive jackpot is the ultimate prize and is won when 9 Golden helmets fill the screen during the Gladiator Bonus game.
