NetEnt delivers another unique new slot with ‘Rome: The Golden Age’ Lou De Aguila 10. February 2021 | UPDATED ON: 10. February 2021 Post Views: 73 NetEnt is taking a trip back in time at the era of the Great Roman Empire as it releases ‘Rome: The Golden Age.’ This latest real money slot game from NetEnt promises to provide a unique take to slot gameplay with loads of bonus features. New Slot Details: ‘Rome: The Golden Age’ is a historical-themed video slot played on a diamond-shaped layout. It has five reels arranged with 3, 4, 5, 4, and 3 symbols per reel from left to right. This set-up allows winning lines to form anywhere on the reels and it only needs at least three matching symbols for the action to happen. Betting denomination ranges from 10 cents to $50 with the maximum jackpot set at 83,333x a stake. Moreover, it has a 96.06 percent return-to-player percentage, 17.6 hit rate, and a high level of volatility. The game is set at a Roman Pavilion in the base game but the action shifts inside a Roman Coliseum in the bonus rounds. The Bonus Mode background shows a Gladiatorial battle between a Tiger and a Gladiator. The developers craftily fashioned its grid layout to make it look like one of those bulletin boards at that particular period. The best thing here is the game announces Super Wins with the winning flanked between two tiger statutes, giving an instant chill factor. Golden Features The game has three major features: Wild Substitutions, Progressive Free Spins Multipliers, and Free Spins. Wild Substitutions allow more combinations to form on the reels. Players can optimize the benefits of this particular mechanic by landing more Golden Age symbols. The more Golden Age icons, the bigger clusters of Wilds will be formed. Meanwhile, three Scatter symbols on reels two, three, and four in the base game triggers three Free Spins. The Free Spins round can bring a great windfall for the players as it rewards up to 50x the bet. They should take note that all positions with Frames or Rome symbols that did not turn into Wild symbols during the game round that activated Free Spins becomes locked and holds a certain multiplier value. Also during the Free Spins mode, a Rome symbol landing on any unlocked position on the reels rewards a random prize ranging from 1 to 50 times the bet. The action also resets the Free Spins counter back to three. The Golden Age symbol can also grace the reels and it becomes sticky for subsequent rounds. More symbols can turn into Wilds when a Rome symbol lands on the reels. When that happens, the golden frame glows and turns into an active frame. On the next spin, this symbol transforms into a Wild while all adjacent positions with frames turn into Wild symbols as well, creating a bulk of Wild symbols. This can happen up to five times in the Roman Era-inspired NetEnt game. About Lou De Aguila Lou Aguila is a news and feature writer for Golden Casino News.
