Gladiator Fruit Machine

Gladiator slot is an online slot machine with a theme based on the 2000 Ridley Scott movie starring Russell Crowe as a Roman general turned gladiator. Playtech developed the Gladiator slot machine, and it is available at Paddy Power Casino in both pay-to-play and free-to-play configurations.

Paddy Power is one of the largest bookmakers in Europe and one of the largest online. Launched in 1988, one of the keys to UK-based Paddy Power’s success is that it caters to the non-gambler as well. Users can play almost all the games free, which is also a nice touch for gamblers who want to test a game before risking their bankroll.

Gladiator slot also has a wide array of features: auto-play, adjustable speed, a gamble feature, scatter, a bonus feature and a bonus game. Adjustable speed with auto-play is an excellent option for the hardcore slots player, and it’s one reason Gladiator has remained popular so long. The most common criticism of Gladiator is that the jackpots are relatively low: $5,000 is the high jackpot, and $1,000 is the low.

On the other hand, Gladiator is a bit of an oddity in the world of online slots. On most slots, the player achieves the best odds on the max bet, but that isn’t the case with Gladiator slot. The player can achieve odds as good as the max bet at $250, and the odds scale nicely from there. Many players simply cover all their bases with $0.01 to $0.50, which makes the payout schedule much more appealing.

The extra features are rather straightforward. The bonus feature and the bonus game hit often and pay out quite well, which helps to offset the low jackpot. In both cases, however, there’s no skill involved. The user simply picks symbols at random, and the game awards cash and prizes based on that. So don’t get caught up trying to finesse the bonuses, simply play through them as quickly as possible.

The Gladiator gamble feature stands out because it’s not the usual all-or-nothing option. Whenever a player hits a winning combination, the gamble screen comes up. The play can bet x — x is determined by the machine’s configuration — and pick red or black. If the player choose correctly, they win x, and if they choose incorrectly, they lose x, not the entire winnings. The player can keep gambling, win or lose, as long as they have money in the pot for that particular winning combination.

Gladiator slot has remained such a popular option at Paddy Power because it’s fun, fast and easy to pick up. It also helps that it pays out well at the lower end of the bet range. Most slots favor the bold, but Gladiator is also an excellent option for the player who wants to stretch that bankroll as far as possible. In a highly competitive market, Gladiator slot remains one of our favorites.
