Background: The Spartacus slot game is brought to us by the Williams Interactive Games studio. It is based upon the historical figure of the same name, “Spartacus”, the gladiatorial slave who dared to take on an Empire. Set in ancient Roman the Spartacus slot’s design and graphics all come from this period of history, with the Colosseum, the bastion of Romes Gladiatorial battles, key to unlocking the games hidden feature wins! (Incidentally I have two pet Guinea Pigs and they are both called “Spartacus”, watch the 1960s movie with actor Kirk Douglas to understand why this is very clever!)
The Game: If you are used to a standard three or even five reel slot game than the first thing you’ll notice when playing the Spartacus slot is that there are two independent sets of reels. Each reel, the main reel and Colossal reel, offers different payouts, bonuses and jackpots. After starting on the main reel (5×4) it is possible to transfer stacked wilds over onto the Colossal reel which has a massive 5 x 12 layout. This means there can be up to 100 pay lines available to be a winner in any given spin. Obviously how many pay lines you want to have in play at any one time is up to you but your returns won’t be as big or as regular if you do not have the maximum amount open.
The Payouts: There is no “Jackpot” win as such available, but there are several different ways to win undefined but still enormous wins. The way I always look out for is the Colosseum scatter symbols which unlock free spins as well as huge win multipliers. If you get five scatters in view you will receive 20 free spins at 20 times your total bet, for four scatters you’ll get 12 free spins at 5 times your total bet, and for three stacked scatters you’ll get 8 free spins and your total bet doubled.
Other than this there are other regular payouts from the large number of pay lines and ways to win. Personally I have never won more than 40x my bet stake from this method but I have read online that someone did take over £55,000 from one regular spin, which would be a massive % rate of return on a spin at any stakes! Overall the payout of this slot is recorded as 95.94%, which is above average, and the variance means there is a great chance of you being in profit at least at some point in your play.
The Score:
- Customisation: 89%
- Graphics: 94%
- Payout ratios: 87%
- Enjoyment: 95%
TOTAL: 91%
