Gladiators Go Wild

Gladiators Go Wild Review

Gladiators Go Wild is a straightforward game, launched on 26 April 2019. It comes with 6 reels, 3 rows and 10 ways to win, and you can play across all devices with a bet size between 10p and £10. The animated gladiator symbols stand out nicely, and the epic soundtrack fits the gladiator theme very well.

Of course, we’ve seen gladiator slots many times before, but what makes Gladiators Go Wild stick out is the pure simplicity. It’s really all about one thing here, and that is to land stacked gladiators that will grant you a re-spin where they function as wilds. You can fill all the reels with stacked gladiator wilds to land the game’s maximum payout.

The RTP on Gladiators Go Wild is about as average as they come, and 96% is recognized as the industry standard. This again means that the House edge is 4%, and it’s also worth noting that this is a medium variance slot. You can expect decent to good payouts once in a while, and the stacked wild re-spins are triggered quite often.

What symbols are there?

Gladiators Go Wild comes with 4 mean looking fighters as high value symbols, as well as the standard low value card suit symbols. You need between 3 to 6 identical symbols on a payline in order to land a winning combo:

• Gold helmet gladiator - Pays up to 40x for 6 on a payline
• Silver helmet gladiator - Pays up to 30x for 6 on a payline
• Iron helmet gladiator - Pays up to 20x for 6 on a payline
• Bronze helmet gladiator - Pays up to 15x for 6 on a payline
• Card suit symbols - Low value symbols that pay between 10x and 6x for 6 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

Gladiators Go Wild is quite simple when it comes to bonus features, and it’s really only one feature you’ll be looking for here. Yes, we’re talking about the stacked Gladiator Wild Re-spin feature. Whenever a stacked gladiator symbol lands it will lock in place, and you’re granted a re-spin where this stacked gladiator acts as a wild symbol.

You can land more stacked wilds on the re-spin, and these will become sticky stacked wilds on the next re-spin. Landing these stacked gladiator symbols makes them come alive with some nice animations, and it’s possible to fill the reels completely with nothing but stacked gladiator wilds, which of course gives you a massive win.

Free spins in Gladiators Go Wild

Gladiators Go Wild does not come with a free spins feature, and it’s really all about the re-spin feature we described above. Since you trigger these re-spins quite often, this game works fine without any free spins, although we know some people will miss free spins for sure. Anyway, we can understand why the developers have chosen to keep things simple in this game.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There is no jackpot of the progressive kind to be found on this game, but you can still win some decent payouts here. This is a medium variance slot, so massive payouts cannot be expected. Still, the max win is 800 times your stake if you fill the screen with stacked wilds, but since these remain in place for a re-spin you will actually win 1600 times your stake.

Where can I play Gladiators Go Wild?

You can play Gladiators Go Wild for real money at various platforms.

Of course, you can also play Gladiators Go Wild on both mobile phone and tablet, and the developers always makes sure their games look good on all platforms. The big symbols looks good even on smaller screens, and you can play Gladiators Go Wild on both Android devices, as well as iPhone and iPad.

SlotCatalog verdict

Gladiators Go Wild is a rather simple game, and the design and graphics looks somewhat outdated. Still, the cartoon style symbols are pretty cool, and especially the animated stacked gladiator symbols stand out. The game’s title really captures the essence of what this is about, as the stacked gladiator symbols turning into wilds is the only bonus feature. A free spins feature thrown into the mix might have made for an even broader appeal, but all in all this is still a pretty decent game.
