Greece was not the only ancient European civilization. Rome which followed it was equally great. And there are about as many online slots that bring the ancient Roman era to the reels. This article reviews three of them from different software providers.

Glory of Rome is from the software provider Microgaming. The introductory clip depicts the glory, power and indulgence of the Roman Empire and invites you to experience it. The main symbol is Caesar, the sovereign of the all he surveyed. It is the wild symbol and also awards a whopping line payout of 5000 coins. The other high paying symbols are lady, chariot, lion and helmet. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons. But in an interesting twist ten and nine are represented by Roman numerals. The gladiator awards scatter payouts and triggers the free spins feature. You are awarded 8 free spins at doubled payouts. Before that you play a bonus game on the second screen. You select four shields and win cash prizes of 10 times the bet or 8 more free spins.

The software provider Playtech offers a similar slot machine titled Rome and Glory. The thematic are Caesar, lady, emblem, chariot, trumpet, grapes, gold, wine glass and scroll. The Coliseum symbol acts as both the wild and the scatter symbol. Three or more scattered Coliseum symbols trigger the free spins bonus. You are awarded 10 free spins with the trademark Playtech Mystery Scatter feature. In this feature, one of the regular symbols is randomly chosen to act as a scatter. This symbol then awards scatter payouts and gives a better chance of the free spins being retriggered. Rome and Glory also offers the optional Playtech gamble feature.

Caesar’s Empire is the Roman themed video slot from Realtime Gaming. A Caesar gold coin is the wild symbol. It appears only on the first four reels but triples payouts when substituting in winning combinations. The thematic symbols include Cleopatra, helmet, shield and fruit bowl. The Coliseum is the scatter symbol. The free spins feature in Caesar’s Empire is triggered when a Coliseum symbol appears on reel 5 with a Caesar symbol on any of the other reels. You are awarded 10 free spins with doubled payouts. The Coliseum symbols are changed to either Caesar or Cleopatra. Caesar symbols may appear on reel 5 during the free spins and each Caesar symbol adds up to five more free spins.
