Legends of the Colosseum Megaways Review

Contrary to what many believe, the gladiators were not always slaves. Many volunteered to fight for glory in the massive arena of the Colosseum, and you get to meet one such fighter in Legends of the Colosseum Megaways from Synot. He looks way too handsome to be a slave, and his female companion could be the queen of the land for all we know. Anyway, this amounts to Synot’s Megaway debut, so let’s dig in.

You get Avalanche Respins, Wilds and Mystery Symbols in all stages of the game, and up to 86,436 ways to win, which is a bit below average. The Wheel of Fortune determines your destiny when the bonus round triggers, but you can respin to get more spins, a higher multiplier, and/or a higher level of minimum win ways. The multiplier is fixed, not progressive, and you can win up to 10,000x your stake.

Legends of the Colosseum Megaways Slot Features

The premium symbols, consisting of a white horse, a tiger, and a lady, pay between 2 and 5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the top-tier male gladiator symbol pays 50x your stake for the same. The crossed swords Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and it also pays 50x your stake should 6 wilds land on payline.

The closed gate with a question mark symbol is the Mystery Symbol, and all instances of it turn into the same randomly chosen symbol type. The mystery symbol cannot turn into gold coins or bonus symbols, however.

Winning symbols are removed via the Avalanche Respins mechanic, and replaced by new and/or existing symbols dropping from above. This process repeats as long as you keep winning.

You need at least 4 bonus symbols (colosseum) in view on reels 2 to 5 to trigger the Bonus Round, and you start with a spin on a 3-tiered Wheel of Fortune. It awards between 5 and 14 free spins, an x2 to x25 win multiplier, and Level 1 to 9. You can respin each tier of the Wheel one time if you’re not happy with the result from the first spin.

The Level determines your minimum number of win ways, and you will collect Gold Coins from the top horizontal reel to upgrade levels. Every third collected gold coin upgrades the level by +1, and each level-up also provides +2 extra spins. Finally, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake. This guarantees 4+ scatters on the spin that follows.

You get a relatively brief taste of the base game, before we purchase and trigger the bonus round at 0:51 into the 5:21-minute highlights video. We got pretty lucky with our initial Wheel of Fortune spin, as it provided us with 10 FS, an x20 win multiplier, and level 3. We didn’t gamble to upgrade, and you can see for yourself how it all went by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Sometimes a Megaways engine release is all it takes to get on the radar of players, and Legends of the Colosseum Megaways is a decent dynamic grid debut from Synot. The Avalanche feature is more satisfying with realistic gravity settings though, so symbols are not suspended in mid-air before dropping down. Overall, the visuals are decent, and the two main characters look like Hollywood stars we don’t recognize.

You get Mystery symbols and Wilds to help you out in all stages, which is hardly unusual, but the grid maxes out at “only” 86,436 ways to win.

Pros

• Avalanche Respins & Mystery Symbols
• Pre-FS Wheel of Fortune w/ respins
• FS w/ minimum win ways and multiplier
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
