Gladiator Legends Review
It’s completely understandable that Hacksaw keeps adding to their growing pile of “dark side” slots, not only because 👌 of the success they’ve seen thus far, but also because their back catalog is filled mostly with thematically lighthearted installments. 👌 Gladiator Legends comes with simple symbol visuals, at least until you land a VS wild that expands into a ferocious 👌 Duel Reel animation that might boost the current win by up to x100.
The sound effects are highly effective in creating 👌 the right gloomy atmosphere, together with the soundtrack, and this is a volatile ride into a violent age of blood 👌 and guts entertainment. The top-tier Unleash The Beast bonus round is all about accumulating bet multipliers via Duel Reels, as 👌 well as unlocking the Beast Reel Multiplier. The Champions of the Arena feature comes with an unusual twist, making each 👌 spin a nerve-racking affair.

Gladiator Legends Slot Features
The premium weapon symbols pay between 5 and 30 👌 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the regular lion Wild steps in for regular pay symbols 👌 to help complete wins. The Wild pays the same as the top-tier symbol if you land 5 wilds on a 👌 payline.
The VS Wild symbols land quite frequently, and they expand to cover the full reel if that means a win 👌 is generated. You’ll sometimes see a top and bottom wild multiplier attached to the symbol, and these represent the 2 👌 fighting gladiators on the ‘Duel Reel’. The winning gladiator’s multiplier becomes active to boost the win, and the possible base 👌 game multipliers range between x2 and x100. If multiple multiplier wilds are part of the same win, the multiplier values 👌 are added together.
Landing 3 Arena scatters triggers the Champions of Arena Bonus Round, and you get 3 spins that reset 👌 each time you land a VS symbol. The winning Duel Reel multiplier (x1 to x1,000) replaces(!) the current multiplier on 👌 top of the reel. This means that you risk losing a higher multiplier to a lower one, and your total 👌 win will be summed up from the above-reel multipliers when you run out of spins. The feature comes with 2 👌 special multiplier coins:
Normal Coins - boosts the above-reel multiplier by a random multiplier of x2 to x10.
- boosts the above-reel 👌 multiplier by a random multiplier of x2 to x10. Epic Coins - boosts all above-reel multipliers by a random multiplier 👌 of x2 to x10.
Landing 3 bear scatters triggers the Unleash The Beast Bonus Round, and the 3 spins you get 👌 reset each time you land VS symbols. In this feature the Duel Reels keep adding multiplier values to the top 👌 of reels 1, 2, 4 and 5, instead of replacing the current multiplier. The middle reel 3 is the locked 👌 Beast Reel, and it unlocks once you’ve landed a VS symbol on all 4 possible reels.
The Beast Reel comes with 👌 a special Beast Duel multiplier of x2 to x20, and it multiplies all winning Duel Reel multipliers before they’re added 👌 to the above-reel multiplier. The Duel Reel multipliers range from x1 to x250 in this bonus round version. When you 👌 run out of spins, all accumulated above-reel multipliers are summed up and paid as your total win.
Finally, non-UK players, and 👌 anyone eligible, may purchase the bonus rounds via the Buy Bonus menu. In fact, the menu comes with some feature 👌 buys this time as well, giving you the following 4 options:
Pay 10x your stake for a spin with 1 guaranteed 👌 VS symbol (96.45 % RTP).
for a spin with (96.45 % RTP). Pay 40x your stake for a spin with 2 👌 guaranteed VS symbols (96.40 % RTP).
for a spin with (96.40 % RTP). Pay 100x your stake for the Champions of 👌 Arena Bonus Round (96.43 % RTP).
for the (96.43 % RTP). Pay 400x your stake for the Unleash The Beast Bonus 👌 Round (96.46 % RTP).

We didn’t include too much of the base game this time, 👌 but you get a glimpse before we purchase the Arena Bonus Round which starts at 0:39 into the 4:25-minute highlights 👌 video. We buy the Unleash The Beast feature right after, and it starts around the 2-minute mark. You can check 👌 it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.
Review Summary
Gladiator Legends follows in the footsteps of Hacksaw’s recent 👌 Warrior Ways, and the creative developer is clearly eager to release more “dark side” installments to balance out their catalog. 👌 We don’t mind at all, of course, and Gladiator Legends is a fierce, volatile and violent game through and through. 👌 The Duel Reel multiplier wilds can make a solid dent also in the base game, but you should expect low 👌 to decent top-up wins most of the time.
The Champions of the Arena feature might not rub all players the right 👌 way, as it’s rough seeing a solid multiplier be snuffed out by a low one. The exact opposite can happen 👌 as well though, and the multiplier coins make the feature highly unpredictable. The Unleash The Beast round is all gory 👌 glory however, at least if you keep it going for a while with the Beast Reel unlocked. This is your 👌 best shoot at cracking the 10,000x potential, and we have a feeling Gladiator Legends will be even more popular than 👌 Warrior Ways.
Pros Duel Reel Wild multipliers up to x100
Arena streak FS w/ special multiplier coins
Beast streak FS w/ unlockable multiplier 👌 reel
Win up to 10,000x your stake
Feature & Bonus Buy menu (not UK) Cons Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
