Think of a Roman theater and you probably think of the Coliseum itself – the scene of many a bloody battle between soldiers and lions. The title image for the new Theatre of Rome slot from Merkur seems to confirm the setting for the new game. A worried-looking soldier appears with his shield and armor in place, nervously looking around for his opponent.
The paytable reveals the sight of a lion roaring into action as the highest-paying symbol in the game. Find five of those on a paid line and you can expect thousands of credits to tumble in your direction. There is a scatter in the game too, coming in the guise of a soldier with his shield. Three of these will award you five free games. That may not sound too generous, but the soldier will become a wild icon during those games. That means there is an increased chance of winning more prizes.
While the game offers you five reels, Merkur sticks with its usual policy of keeping the paylines to a minimum. They’ve given us seven of them here, which does make the game reasonably affordable for many players. The usual gamble feature is also provided, but aside from that there is little else here that you haven’t seen before. Enter the arena to witness what happens inside the Theatre of Rome today.
