Coming soon (Tuesday 21st April) to some of our top-rated UK online casinos is a new Roman Empire/Ancient Roman-themed online slot called Arena of Gold. The new Arena of Gold online slot was developed by All41 Studios exclusively for Microgaming, which means that you’ll soon be able to play on this game over at 32 Red Casino, Roxy Palace Casino, Mr Green Casino, Party Casino and PlayOJO Casino.
The game will be released simultaneously on desktop and mobile, and just like all other online slots from All41 Studios, you’ll be able to launch this one instantly in your web browser. This same independent studio also brought you titles such as Magic of Sahara, Le Kaffee Bar, Lock-a-Luck, and Book of Atem, which some of you may already be familiar with by now. The new Arena of Gold slot has 5 reels and 25 fixed paylines, and you will be able to take one spin of the reels from as little as £0.10 up to £50.00.
At any one time, you will be playing to win 1 of 3 individual jackpots from within the Golden Respins feature – a fun bonus that will instantly trigger when 6 or more Gold Coins land on the reels. You can also play to win big prizes during the Free Spins Bonus, which will trigger when at least one Scatter Symbol (the Colosseum Symbol) lands in any position on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin.
If you managed to trigger the Golden Respins feature, any Gold Coins that are currently in view will remain locked in place, and you’ll receive a total of 3 respins. However, each time a Gold Coin lands during the respins, the respin counter will reset to 3. Respins will only stop happening when either the counter has reached zero, or when all 15 symbol positions have been filled with Gold Coins. Filling the entire game window with Gold Coins gets you the Maxi Jackpot, which is worth a cool 1,000x times your total stake.
The Free Spins Bonus will instantly trigger when at least 1 Scatter Symbol lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin. As soon as this happens, you will receive a minimum guaranteed bonus of 5 Free Spins and during the bonus, reels 2, 3 and 4 will merge into one giant-sized symbol (apart from the Scatter Symbols) measuring 3x3 (covering 9 individual symbol positions). If 3 more Scatter Symbols land on the reels at any point during the bonus, you’ll receive another 3 Free Spins.
The only other special symbol to keep an eye out for is the Roman Emperor Wild Symbol, which can land in any position across any of the 5 reels, and it will substitute all other symbols apart from the Scatter Symbol. While you’re waiting for the new Arena of Gold slot to arrive, some of the other popular Roman-themed slots that I can recommend checking out in the meantime include Maximus Winnus from Inspired Gaming, Rome: Rise of an Empire from Blueprint, and Gladiator Jackpot from Playtech.
There’s also Ave Caesar from Blueprint, Gladiator: Road to Rome from Playtech, Soldier of Rome from Barcrest/SG Gaming, Game of Gladiators from Play’n GO, Champions of Rome from Yggdrasil Gaming, and Shields of Rome from Origins (a Playtech company).
