NetEnt released a new video slot on June 13 2024. The slot is Gladiator Clash based on a Greek theme about gladiator battles in Ancient Rome. 

In this review, you will learn about the game setup and bonus features. 

Game setup 

When you start the game, you will notice 3 reels and 3 rows. You can land winning combinations on 3 paylines on a default RTP of 96.16%.

The other RTP is 94.10%.

To get going, you need to place a minimum bet of €0.10 or a maximum bet of €80. 

To land winning combinations, you have pay symbols without specific values assigned to them. The symbols available are tridents, swords, spiked maces and three different battle helms. 

You can also land wilds on all 3 reels which substitute all paying symbols. 

Bonus features

Base game

The base game has four distinct features: the prize reel, reel respin, prize respin and prize up.

Prize reel

During the base game, there is a prize reel to the left of the grid. Prizes on the reel have varying rewards ranging from 1x to 500x the bet. 

When you achieve 3 matching prize symbols, you are awarded the prize associated with the prize. 

Reel respin

When 2 reels have 1 pay symbol, they lock with the prize reel. Once they lock, the third reel respins.

Prize respin

When the prize reel has a multiplier 50x or higher, at random, it could lock and receive a respin as a reward. 

Prize up

The prize up also hits randomly. It may happen when a winning line hits and will increase the prize and pay the winning combination again. 

Lion bonus

To achieve the feature, you have to fill up the progression bar. The progression bar needs 20 points to fill and 1 Lion scatter increases it by 1. 

When the feature is activated, you can pick n click Lion symbols which reward you with prizes or thumbs-up symbols. 3 similar prize symbols reward you with the award value while 3 thumbs up reward you by upgrading the bonus to the next level. 

The three levels of the feature are:

• Level 1 contains any three of these; 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x and a thumbs up

• Level 2 contains any three of these; 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x and a thumbs up

• Level 3 contains any three of these; 10x, 20x, 100x, 500x and 1000x

Feature buy

Skip straight to the bonus round with Feature Buy. You need to place 25x the bet for the Lion bonus played at a 96.16% RTP. 

Verdict

Players who enjoy Ancient Rome themes will find this slot attractive. Additionally, the multiple features of the base game and levels of the Lion’s bonus will keep you well entertained.
