Reel Empire

I have to admit, I was expecting some sort of showbusiness empire to take the reels in this Core Gaming slot. Imagine my surprise then, when I am greeted with the insignia of the Roman Empire. It’s about time this very real empire makes it to the reels of a modern slot.

It’s all-out war on the reels as the empire expand its horizons. Take your arms to the field and man the line with other legionnaires. With skill and plenty of luck, you may yet triumph against the rolling reels. And there are a few features to help you do so...

Theme and Symbols

A forest on fire, with a battlefield, entrenchments, weapons and whatnot filling the background. The team over at Core Gaming certainly knows how to set the mood, something a lot of other games could learn from. On the reels, you’ll find further symbols, from the legionnaires to playing cards and everything in-between. There are plenty of animations to keep things interesting, and even some fighting music as a finishing touch.

Betting Options and Functions

This slot comes with a decent RTP and medium variance. What this means, is that the wins hit somewhat often through the five-reel setup. Each reel comes with three symbols, and an extra spot on top for special features.

There’s a grand total of 20 paylines, with wins topping out at 200 times your line bet. The minimum you’ll ever get is 5 times the line bet. Though the game does offer plenty of nice wins, it’s clearly the specials that come with worthy prizes...

Features

A legionnaire will have his pay…

...in coins. These drop on the reels, and this is also where that extra spot at top of the reels comes to play. Each of these has places for a varying number of coins, with the first and last starting with just two. All the coins that drop on the said reels are collected there. Once the corresponding pot of gold coins is full it will turn the entire reel below it full of wilds for the next spin!

Is that all that those spots are up to? Not at all, as they can also reveal multipliers for these wilds, which can go as high as ten. Way to raise the wins to a completely new height.

The game is also part of the Party Pot network of progressive jackpots. There are seven different ones, and you’re in for all of them as soon as you start spinning. Each individual pot can be found below the reels.

Our Take

Reel Empire surprises you with the roman theme, and keeps the game going with the exciting bonus feature of multipliers and wild reels. For a medium variance slot, it offers some quite massive wins, not to mention the possibility of scoring a jackpot. Overall, you should take a look.
