Rome and Glory

The Roman theme has been popular with gamblers for years. You only have to look at Caesars Palace to get an idea of the popularity. Rome and Glory is yet another Roman theme slot although it does have a free spin bonus which makes it stand out a bit from the others.

The game uses the popular 5 reel, 20 line format and has a max bet of 200 coins per game. Coin sizes at most casinos range from 1c to 50c so you have a max bet range of between $2 and $100.

In a bit of a twist the wild symbol and the scatter symbol are the same. The Coliseum is both wild and scattered. Getting five Coliseum symbols anywhere on the reels pays 200 times your bet or 40,000 coins. Getting three or more also activates the free spins which we will discuss later.

After the Coliseum pays the Caesar symbol is the one to look out for as it offers the highest line win of 5000 coins or 50,000 coins at maximum bet. Second highest line win is 2,000 coins for five of the Roman Ladies. The game has a total of 31 winning combinations so there are lot's of ways to win on each spin.

The real fun starts with the free games. Once won you get 10 free spins with a mystery scatter. You move to a second screen where you have a single reel spinning. It stops to display a symbol that will be scattered during the free games. This feature is the most interesting and potentially profitable.

For example if your mystery scatter is the Caesar symbol you have a 5000X win for five scatters and a 1000X win for four scatters. This is a multiple of your whole bet not your line bet so you can win up to 1,000,000 coins if you get the five Caesar scatters or 200,000 coins for the four scatters.

The extra scatter feature greatly increases the jackpot possibilities. Even better is the fact that if you get three or more Coliseum symbols on the screen during the free games you win an extra 10 free spins with the same mystery scatter.

If you are not happy with your wins you can also try to increase them with the gamble option. Rome and Glory features a video poker style double up where you are dealt five cards and have to pick a higher card than the face up card. You can also half gamble which we always like to see.

While the Roman theme might be getting a little tired, Rome and Glory is a great game to play and offers some huge jackpots on the free games.
