Gameplay features and bonuses

Gladiatoro is a 5-reel, 4-row slot with 178 ways to win, which can expand to a 5×6 grid with 340 ways to win. The game boasts high volatility and an RTP of 94%.

Toro: When the Toro symbol appears on the reels, it transforms into a walking Wild, moving leftwards with each spin and triggering a respin for every step it takes. As Toro moves, the value of any coins it passes over doubles.

Diaz: The Diaz symbol is the collector symbol. When Diaz lands on the reels, he gathers the values of any coins present and rewards them.

Toro Goes Wild: Get ready for action when 2 Matador symbols land. They grant you a Matador respin, and if another Matador symbol appears, an extra respin follows. These symbols stay in place during respins. If Toro lands at the same time as a Matador, the Toro Goes Wild feature activates. Toro chases the Matador off the reels, leaving behind a trail of Wild symbols in its wake.

Level Up Coin: Keep an eye out for the Level Up Coin. When it lands, it increases the number of rows above, up to a maximum of 6, boosting your ways to win up to 340 ways. Plus, it awards a respin to keep the excitement flowing.

Gladiator Bonus: Triggered by landing 3 or more coins, the Gladiator Bonus treats you to 3 respins. During this round, only blanks, coins, and special symbols can appear. The coins that triggered the bonus remain in place, and new symbols reset the respin count. Here are the symbols you might encounter:

• Coins: Reveal bet multiplier values.
• Matador: Upgrades a random number of coins before disappearing on the next spin.
• Persistent Matador: Upgrades coins on the current spin and every subsequent spin.
• Diaz: Collects the value of all coins and can trigger the Toro Goes Wild feature, leaving a coin with double its value when knocked off the grid.
• Persistent Diaz: Collects coin values at the end of each spin and subsequent spins.
• Level Up: Expands the grid.
• Toro: Awards a respin and moves leftward until falling off the first reel. These spins don't count toward the main respin count.

X-iter: In the X-iter menu, players have the option to purchase various features:

• Bonus Hunt (3x the bet): Boosts the chances of triggering a feature with every spin.
• Matador Respin (10x the bet): Guarantees 2 Matadors on a spin, and if the bonus triggers, the Matador symbols become persistent.
• Diaz (25x the bet): Ensures a Diaz symbol on the spin, with the potential for all Diaz symbols to become persistent if the bonus activates.
• Bonus Game (100x the bet): Initiates the bonus round
• Super Bonus Game (500x the bet): Initiates a bonus game with one persistent symbol, promising thrilling wins.
