Spartacus call to arms

We have a confession to make; we know everyone and their grandmothers looooves the Spartacus Gladiator of Rome slot, with it’s 100 paylines and colossal reels, but we don’t rate it.
It’s fun enough as an online slot. Maybe 3 stars, maybe 4 if you get lucky quick. As an Android and iPhone slot however, it gets lost in the smaller screen.
So we were hopeful that this Spartacus Call to Arms game might be able to grab our imagination, seeing as it had a more traditional 5×3 reels and 50 paylines, but the exact same theme.
Too slow, and still too much packed in
We will allow that this Spartacus slot game looks way better than the original; namely because there’s more space to breath, and you can play it in portrait mode.
In fact, it plays better in portrait, as you can more easily understand the mechanics behind all those side symbols and multipliers.
Basically you have 8 special reels; if you get enough of the same symbols on those special reels, those symbols will then come with a multiplier if you get a win using those symbols on the main reels.
The multipliers tend to range from about 2x to 3x – though theoretically you could get as much as 250x.
Sometimes we long for the days when WMS use to make simple, big win games, like the Zeus slot machine.
Spartacus Call To Arms slot fails to inspire
This is not a bad casino game, by any mean. And we suspect that many of you Williams slot lovers will be ready to lynch us about this 2 star review.
But honestly, we just simply got bored.
After spending ages reading far too much about how to get decent multipliers, and the fact that we rarely got any of them, we then played for the Spartacus Call to Arms slot free spins bonus.
And played… And played…
Finally they hit after over 200 spins, and we barely got 20x our bet. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement.
Maybe if we’d gotten lucky this might have gained an extra star, but we doubt this gladiator will lead us into any more slot wars.
Much like in the Hercules High and Mighty phone slot, getting wins here feels like pulling teeth, and the multiplier bonus reels don’t keep the excitement going whilst you wait.
