The Roman empire was a successful combination of violence and civility and it’s a theme which has provided us with a fair number of online slot machines; Rome: Rise of an Empire is one more to add to the list, it’s developed by Blueprint Gaming and it comes with features galore!
Rome: Rise of an Empire is a five reel slot with three rows and twenty fixed paylines; the backdrop to those reels is a coliseum ready for the impending conflict about to happen.
The high value symbols include the games’ logo, the female and male leads in this story, a helmet and a sword/shield combo; playing card symbols in red, pink, purple and blue represent the lower values.
The SPQR standard is wild and it will replace all other symbols to help form winning combos except for the coliseum scatter icon.
Bonus Features
Rise of an Empire Bonus
This is triggered by landing at least three of the coliseum scatter symbols anywhere in view and you’ll now get to spin a wheel which will reveal one of five possible bonuses:
- Urn Riches – pick from the urns to find three matching symbols for a prize, three Golden laurels for Big Money and perhaps a win multiplier.
- Uprising – watch the game unfold as turrets are destroyed to win prizes.
- Volcanic Cash Free Spins – awards free spins with increasing multipliers per spin until you land ‘Stop’ on reel three – this awards an extra finishing multiplier.
- Empress’s Treasure Free Spins – awards fifteen free spins and each time a stacked Empress wild appears you can take the money offered or freeze that wild in place.
- Big Money Bonus – triggered with five scatter symbols in the base game, just pick from the coins on offer to win big prizes until ‘Collect’ is found.
Reel Modifiers
The following mini-features occur in the base game whenever the tiger jumps onto the reels:
- Sword Strike – on a winning combo the bottom row will be removed allowing the symbols to drop down and potentially make new wins, this can be repeated.
- Legion’s Glory – up to three stacked wilds are added to the reels.
- Symbolus Maximus – a symbol will be selected to turn wild and a random multiplier applied to any wins.
- Spears of Destiny – on a winning combo the symbols involved will be locked in place and respins awarded as long as the win improves.
- Bonus Boost – extra scatter symbols are added to the reels to make it easier to trigger the main feature.
Verdict
Rome: Rise of an Empire is very much in the Blueprint mould and it comes with a huge number of extra features and reel modifiers; it’s a really high quality slot and one to experience.
