Arena of Gold

Venture back into the Roman times, and take a spin in the arena. All41 Studios has come up with a slot that might use a good and tested theme, but that doesn’t mean the game wouldn’t offer something new and exciting.

What, then, can you expect to witness in this game? Well, excellent graphics for one and some interesting bonus features for another. The basic gameplay delivers excellent wins too, and the game itself is built to be playable on all devices.

Theme

Arena of Gold mixes gladiators, caesars and traditional playing cards together with graphical quality that leaves nothing to be desired. The selection of symbols lays a perfect theme on the reels, with the background picture adding a bit more immersion. The audio effects are mostly pompous, which is quite fitting as well. On a down note, there is a distinct lack of animations with this slot.

Betting Options and Functions

There are 25 fixed paylines, with the reels having the standard 5 x 3 setup. The main win is this game is up to 2500 times your total bet, however, that’s not quite what you can score with the basic paytable. The variance is set to medium, with the maximum single five combo payout being 500 times your line bet.

The betting level is quite decent and allows you to start with just 0.10 coins per spin. Adjust as needed. The interface is suited for mobile devices, giving all options via easy-to-swipe buttons, and showing the graphics with colour and splendour. Naturally, the game also works wonderfully on desktop devices.

Features

It wouldn’t be much of an arena if there weren’t massive prizes to be won via special events.

Landing three scatters will immediately pay back your total bet, and then launch the free games. You will be awarded five spins to being with, and each three scatters that land will reward you with three more spins.

• Merged reels.

During the bonus spins the middle reels are all merged into one. All symbols, sans the scatter, that land there will therefore count as nine symbols. Connect them from left to right, and you have a massive payout waiting for you. Land a wild and rejoice!

• Golden re-spins with jackpots.

Though the game doesn’t have progressive jackpots, these fixed pots still offer some considerable wins. Once you land at least 6 golden coins on a spin, you will be awarded with three re-spins. Land more coins and the count resets. These coins can reveal multiplier prizes, mega jackpot or mini jackpot symbols. Once all re-spins are done, everything is added up and the player is rewarded with huge payouts!

Our Take

All41 Studios has managed to come up with such a selection of features that you will be spinning the reels for a while to come. The basic payouts balance things out nicely, meaning that you won’t end up just spinning empty paylines most of the time. All in all, what this slot offers is worth a look.
