Rome Fight For Gold

Rome Fight For Gold Review

The developer has explored many themes, but they lacked a proper ancient Rome gladiator game. Rome Fight For Gold fills that position. However, this is a reskin of a previous title. The good news is that non-mobile players will be able to see more details this time.

The 5x4 grid is semi-transparent, so you get a decent view of a packed Colosseum. You can’t see any gladiator action, however, and the main attraction in the base game is the Coin Collection feature. You can collect with a multiplier up to x5, which can lead to decent payouts, and the main attraction is the hold and win style bonus round. It comes with a multiplier symbol, as well as extra spin symbols, and filling the grid cracks the 20,000x potential.

Rome Fight For Gold Slot Features

The premium symbols, consisting of shields, helmets, Helena, and Antonius, pay 3 to 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. You can land Wild symbols on all 5 reels, and they pay 25x your stake for 5 on a payline. The Wilds also substitute for pay symbols to help complete wins. In addition, you can land Coin symbols that can be collected to win prizes, as described below.

You can land Coin symbols on reels 1 to 4, and they come with cash prizes attached. You need a Collect symbol on reel 5 to collect the prizes however, and there are 3 types of Coins. The Bronze, Silver, and Gold coins come with cash prizes of 1x to 9x, 10x to 20x, and 25x to 50x your stake, respectively. The Collect symbol can have a multiplier of x2 to x5, and this will boost your total cash coin win.

You need 3 scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 to trigger the Bonus Round, and it’s a hold and win style feature that starts you off with 3 spins. Only blanks, cash coins, Antonius multipliers, and Helena extra spin symbols may land, and all cash coins are sticky for the duration of the feature. Bronze coins are worth 1x to 5x your stake, while Silver coins pay 10x to 20x your stake. Gold Coins always pay 50x your stake, and the spin tally resets to 3 when you land at least 1 non-blank symbol.

The Antonius Multiplier symbol comes with multiplier values between 1x to 5x, and these are added to the total win multiplier. The total win multiplier will boost your total win from the bonus round, and Helena Extra Spins symbols add +1 to the spin tally. These special symbols do not become frozen in place, however, but they still reset the spin count when they appear. Filling the grid cracks the 20,000x potential there and then, which is good to know.

The Boost Button is an option, at least in some jurisdictions, and it increases the price per spin by 50 %. The benefit is extra coin symbols added to the reel strips, as well as higher average coin values. You also get extra collect and multiplier symbols, and a higher likelihood of landing Helena and Antonius symbols in the bonus round.

Review Summary

A previous title was not a bad effort, but non-mobile players needed a magnifying glass to catch any details. This problem has been amended in this reskin job, but the Colosseum audience seems far more interested in what goes on in the arena than on the 5x4 grid. The base game is kept interesting by the cash coin collect feature, and with a proper multiplier you can land decent to solid payouts also in the main game.

Visually, the game is somewhat engaging, but there is no gladiator action like in some other ancient Rome games. Antonius the gladiator gives you a somewhat cheesy thumbs up at the end of the bonus round though, and both him and Helena do spice the feature up with their modifiers. It’s not exactly a high level experience, but still above many run of the mill hold and win efforts. Overall, Rome Fight For Gold is a decent game, but nothing too memorable either.
