How to play Gladiator Slots

A decade on from its release as one of the biggest blockbuster movies of all time Gladiator is now available as a slot machine in the online gaming world, bringing you closer to the action of General Maximus Meridius.

Hosted alongside numerous movie arcade games, the Betfair Gladiator Slots machine combines the thrill and tension of this classic film with realistic gaming simulation that offers huge potential jackpots.

Whether you're a master at the slot machine or a first timer, playing the game is simple once you get into the action. The first thing you need to do is place your stake and the amount of lines you want to bet on.

For example, making a £1 line bet for just one line means you need to match up the numerous combinations on the centre line. However, increasing the numbers of lines you select increases your chances of winning, although your bet total goes up accordingly.

The Coliseum was the central grizzly entertainment theatre of ancient Rome, where gladiators would fight to the death against the world's fiercest beasts or even themselves. If they won, they were rewarded, and if three or more Coliseums appear on screen so will you.

For first-timers it is a good idea to start low and work your way up from there. The Betfair Gladiator Slots also features Coliseum and Gladiator Bonuses that, if hit, can greatly improve your winnings. The Bonus takes you to another screen where you work your way up the lines picking up free games and prizes as you go.

General Meridius himself was a tough fighter and should three helmets appear within reels two, three or four then the Gladiator Bonus is activated. Here you have nine helmets to choose from, each possessing a hidden cash prize.

With so much going on it is no wonder gamers in the online community choose to play this machine. It is quick and easy to understand while the on-screen displays bring the immersive experience of the Coliseum to life.
