Action Boost: Gladiator Slot Machine: Review & Demo
If Action Boost: Gladiator sounds familiar, there is a good reason for that. Games Global has given us two slots in the same series, both designed by SpinPlay Games as exclusives. One was called Gorilla Gems, and the other was Amber Island, so there isn’t much of a connection between them story-wise. With this latest slot, we’re looking at Ancient Rome’s gladiators, and the fight takes us to the Colosseum.
Action Boost: Gladiator offers 5x4 reels with 20 lines initially, but up to 40 lines can be active on 5x6 reels at certain moments during free spins. With a 6,250x top jackpot to go after, it has a cap of $250,000, which is high enough to motivate most players. You should still expect high volatility, though the 96.27% RTP lessens the blow somewhat. Major features give us the two types of Action Boost free spins, wilds, and Flag Spins.
Action Boost: Gladiator Betting and Prizes
You don’t have to spend too much on the next round, it costs just $0.20 per spin to start things off. At most, you can wager up to $40 per spin.
Games Global’s slots tend to have a cap set to $250,000, so the 6,250x top jackpot isn’t much of a surprise if we go by the available max bet. I like the hit rate of over 36%, and while the high volatility is not a plus, the 96.27% RTP looks fine.
Slot Features
Action Boost: Gladiator gets a regular wild symbol that you may use to create new combinations, and there is also the chance that you will get it to pay directly. Getting up to 5 wilds on the same line can pay 10x the stake (while regular top symbols pay 5x).
If the Trophy Coins land, they’re collected, and there is a chance to trigger a Flag Spin. If you get it, it can bring you coins for different collectors, which can end up bringing you free spins or a jackpot feature (paying up to 5,000x).
Two types of free spins are available, each one associated with a different collected coin:
- Green Coins trigger 5 spins with a larger game area (40 lines active) and expanding wilds.
- Red Coins trigger 10 free spins with shields landing to bring prizes or Flag Spins.
Theme & Design
Taking us to the sunny arena in the middle of the Colosseum, Action Boost: Gladiator emphasizes these fighters and their weapons. Most top symbols do this, so we see images of the gladiator, a horse, weapons, chariots, and flags, while others get much more basic Royals.
Conclusion
Action Boost: Gladiator keeps things interesting with the help of its special features, which might just be enough to make it a slot you’d want to play. Everything else looks fine, at least on paper, but you should still expect a highly volatile slot.
