Game Overview
It’s been at least a week since the last I reviewed within this genre, so I guess it’s about time we had another Ancient Rome-themed slot to play. However, this time, it’s the Scourge of Rome, Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca, that is the specific focus of this Play’n Go game. He and his armies were a constant thorn in the side of Rome across several bloody battles, and although he was ultimately seen off in the end, it came at the expense of close to 2 million deaths throughout the Punic wars. As for some stats, Scourge of Rome is a 6-reel slot with 4,096 ways to win, a 96.20% RTP, and a 40,000x the stake maximum stake.
The slot starts with a cutscene to introduce the theme and backstory, giving a great first impression of the quality graphics and animations in store. As for the bonus features, a Wild Fllip feature can trigger randomly, essentially turning Hanniball wilds into expanding wilds that fill their reels. It is also possible to win up to 115 free spins of reels that now contain a War Elephant symbol that remains sticky on the reels and will pay even if there are gaps between matching symbols.
Do you have what it takes to defeat the army and leave the battlefield with the jackpot of 40,000x? Perhaps it would be a good idea to practise your fighting skills first to give yourself the best chance in our free Scourge of Rome demo slot below.
Scourge Of Rome Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
They say all roads lead to Rome, but this section is your road to other Ancient Rome-themed slots. There are quite a few around, simply because the theme is and always has been popular in the slot space. However, if you wanted to start with a title you already know is good, I’d recommend Nolimit City’s Legion X, a slot offering over 72,000 ways to win and a solid 31,000x maximum win. Other notable suggestions include Inspired Gaming’s Centurion Megaways and Centurion Big Money.
Our next port of call is to examine the payouts that could potentially come your way on Scourge of Rome. The War Elephant is the most valuable symbol in the game and returns 20x the stake for a 6-symbol combo, while the two Warrior symbols each reward up to 6x. The Ring, Vase, and Weapons complete the premium pays, and each awards up to 4x the stake for a full line of six. As for the low pays, the Ace and King return a maximum of 1.4x, and the Queen, Jack, and Ten all pay up to 1x.
Before spinning, you’ll have to decide on a stake, which is done at the bottom of the reels via the bet slider. You can wager from a minimum of €0.10 a spin up to a maximum of €100.00, with another 15 staking options to pick from within this range.
Scourge Of Rome Slot Base Game & Modifiers
A 6×4 reel configuration is in play in the base game, and there are 4,096 ways to win. For all regular symbols except the War Elephant, which requires two or more, you’ll need to land three or more across successive reels starting from the leftmost reel to form a winning combination.
Wild Flip
The Hannibal Wild Symbol can appear on reels two through five, and when at least two land on the same spin, the Wild Flip feature triggers. If any of those wilds are involved in a winning combination by substituting for regular symbols, there is a 50/50 chance they will expand to fill their reels.
Scourge Of Rome Slot Bonus Features
The free spins bonus on the Scourge of Rome slot will trigger when three or more scatter symbols appear in any position on the gaming grid. You receive 10, 15, 20, or 25 free spins in return for 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols, and it’s possible to re-trigger the bonus from within the feature with a maximum cap of 115 free spins allowed.
Free Spins Feature
There are no wild symbols during this feature, but there is a Book of Dead-esque symbol. That is the War Elephant, which remains sticky on the reels and creates winning combinations even if there are gaps between the symbols. Those combos are not required to start from the leftmost reel, either.
At the start of each free spin, some of the symbols on the lower part of the reel format are frozen. These fall off the reels at the end of the spin, which reduces the reel sizes. However, between spins, a new row is added to the top of the grid, increasing the reels’ size. Each time a Warhon symbol lands during the bonus, all War Elephant symbols move up one position on their reels.
Pros
- 40,000x the stake is a solid maximum win.
- Another well delivered intro from Play'n Go.
Cons
- A buy bonus feature would have been a good addition here, but as we know, that's not Play'n Go's thing.
Scourge Of Rome Slot Review Final Thoughts
Scourge of Rome packs a fairly substantial max win of 40,000x the stake, which alone will attract some of you. It’s also a great-looking slot with impressive graphics and the standard Play’n Go introduction animation at the start. The features are pretty good, too, although the base game feels a little bare unless the randomly triggered Wild Flip pops up from time to time. The main bonus is where the slot has the best win potential for your bankroll, specifically the Book of Dead-esque symbols that pay with or without gaps and are not required to start on the leftmost reel. Overall, it is a good slot from Play’n Go, even if not an all-time great.
Good
