Call of the Colosseum is a Roman-themed online slot game by software developer NextGen Gaming. It offers you a glimpse into the mighty structure that is the Colosseum and is everything you might expect. There are all sorts of gladiator attributes, including shields, helmets, spears and even their sandals. In addition, you will see ferocious tigers just waiting to devour anyone standing close enough, various coins, and even bags of money thrown by the crowds. There are two character symbols on the reels, too, one of which is the Emperor and another is a charming noblewoman.
Speaking of reels, this title boasts a standard number of 5, and these have an equally conventional number of 3 rows. All of this comes with a total number of 25 active paylines which are also adjustable, so you have the opportunity to regulate them if you wish. Players can even play with as little as just a single payline, and this reflects on the betting range accordingly, making it very agreeable and accessible for most any pocket size. Bets start off at a minimum amount of only 1p per spin and they reach a maximum total amount of £125 per single spin.
Where to Play
Special Features
Emperor
The Emperor symbol on these reels functions as a Wild. It has the capacity to substitute for all other symbols when helping to complete winning combinations. The bad news, however, is that it cannot substitute for the Scatter, and in addition to that the Wild doesn’t just land anywhere during gameplay. As a matter of fact, it can only appear on the middle reels 2, 3 and 4. Furthermore, it doesn’t really offer any payouts of its own.
Shield
The Scatter will be responsible for triggering this game’s main attraction, which is the Freespins feature. You can trigger it by landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters anywhere on the reels during the same spin. Unlike its Wild counterpart, the Scatter can actually land on any of the 5 reels.
Now, regardless of the number of Scatters, you will receive the same fixed amount of 10 free spins, and in addition to those, you will also benefit from a 2x multiplier throughout the duration of the feature. Hence, all wins will be doubled.
There’s also another very cool feature that you will get to enjoy and it involves the Emperor Wild. Whenever the Emperor lands on the reels, he will either give you a thumbs up or down (if you have ever seen Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, this will make perfect sense to you). The thumbs down won’t do anything, but if you get a thumbs up then you will receive an extra 1 to 3 free spins. Needless to say that with a feature like this in place, retriggers are out of the question.

Verdict
Call of the Colosseum offers solid entertainment as well as good winning opportunities. It is by no means a superb title, but it has some really crafty touches that make it worth giving a spin. In addition, it’s a low variance slot, so while prizes are relatively small, you will get to trigger the free spins fairly often.
