Reign of Rome

Reign of Rome, an online slot developed by Hacksaw Gaming, presents a compelling option for players drawn to darker, historical, gladiator-inspired gaming environments. The game offers unique features designed to enhance winning possibilities and lead to potentially lucrative gaming experiences.

Gameplay features and bonuses

Reign of Rome unfolds on a 5×5 grid, featuring an RTP of 96.27%. In addition, the game combines high volatility with 19 paylines.

Tribute Symbols and LootLines: Tribute symbols, which are dynamic multiplier symbols, award a cash prize based on the combined value of the Tributes in a LootLine, multiplied by the bet amount. A LootLine is established when a winning payline of Tribute symbols appears on the grid. The payout of the LootLine is determined by the values of the Tribute symbols involved in the win, with their multipliers combined sequentially from left to right. The resulting value is then multiplied by the bet to calculate the cash prize. Tribute symbols come in four variants:

• Adding Tribute symbols can have multipliers ranging from 1x to 10x.
• Revealing Adding Tribute symbols offer multipliers from 15x to 500x.
• Multiplying Tribute symbols range from x2 to x5.
• Revealing Multiplying Tribute symbols provide multipliers from x6 to x25.

Adding Tribute multipliers enhance the cumulative LootLine value, whereas Multiplying Tribute multipliers increase the total. Multipliers in the left-most position on a LootLine function as Adding values.

Path To Power: Triggered by landing 3 FS Scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game, this bonus game grants 10 Free Spins and retains the base game mechanics, increasing the likelihood of high-value Tribute symbols. Landing 2 or 3 additional FS Scatter symbols during the bonus awards 2 or 4 extra Free Spins, respectively.

This Is Rome: Triggered by 4 FS Scatter symbols, this bonus game also provides 10 Free Spins and incorporates all features from the base game and the Path To Power bonus. Non-winning Tribute symbols appearing with at least 1 winning Tribute symbol are progressively stored in a LootBar beneath the grid. The LootBar has 5 positions corresponding to the reels, where non-winning Tributes are placed based on the reel they appear on.

Once all positions are filled, the stored Tributes are paid out following LootLine rules and removed from the LootBar. All LootBar positions reset to 0x until filled by a non-winning Tribute symbol. 2 or 3 additional FS Scatter symbols during this bonus grant 2 or 4 extra Free Spins, respectively.

Fight For Glory: Activated by 5 FS Scatter symbols, this game mode offers 10 Free Spins and includes all features from the preceding bonuses. In this bonus, all LootBar positions start with 20x multipliers, and non-winning Tributes boost these starting values. Tribute values in the LootBar are retained until the end of the bonus and then paid out as a single substantial prize. In this bonus, 2 or 3 additional FS Scatter symbols can also award additional Free Spins.
