Yggdrasil has recently unveiled a new slot game that immerses players in the drama and spectacle of ancient Rome’s grand arena, in a showdown between three gladiators and the notorious Emperor, titled “3 Gladiators vs Caesar”.
Gladiatorial battle
In this game, three formidable gladiators engage in combat with one of history’s most prominent figures in the coliseum, each showcasing their unique abilities that can result in substantial cash rewards. The Gladiator Feature highlights the distinct strengths of each fighter, triggered during every free spin and when two free spin symbols appear in the base game. This feature involves one of three weapons – sword, mace, or trident – being thrown onto the reels, adding wilds to enhance the gameplay experience.
Free spins
Players can accumulate wins through two engaging free spin modes: Challenge and Deathmatch, both offering opportunities for glory through either secure wins or lucrative multipliers. The Challenge Free Spins provide eight standard spins where all wins are guaranteed at the end of the round, while the Deathmatch free spins introduce real suspense and excitement.
Deathmatch
In the Deathmatch free spins, players must achieve a minimum of 22.5x their bet to retain their total cash winnings, which are then subjected to a multiplier. Prior to starting the round, players must choose between 2x multipliers for 7 spins, 3x for 6 spins, or 4x for 5 spins. If Caesar emerges victorious, players receive a consolation prize of either 2x or 10x their bet, or 5 Challenge free spins.
The launch of “3 Gladiators vs Caesar” capitalises on the renewed interest in the Roman theme in contemporary films and television series. Yggdrasil’s renowned expertise in animation and sound design enhances the gameplay, offering a modern interpretation of this ancient theme that brings the action to life for players.
Tomasz Kowalik, Head of Games Production at Yggdrasil, said:
In 3 Gladiators vs Caesar, we have a game that truly brings the majesty and colour of the historical spectacle to the reels with the three individual fighters pitting their arena skills against Caesar himself.
Action in the base gameplay is matched by the two furious free spins experiences, offering something for both those who are happy to safeguard their wins or those brave enough to pit themselves against the scheming Emperor. It’s a blockbuster game that is worthy of the grandeur of the mighty Roman Empire.”
