Centurion Slot

Graphics

If we’re going to have a Roman hero on the reels, it makes sense that they’re chiselled, big-chinned and adorned in armour. And that’s what we get in the form of Maximum Winnus, who joins us when all the bonus features come in to play.

During the base game, we’re treated to a visual delight that would have left Julius Caesar proud. Marble columns on the side, a dark blue background and symbols comprised of the royal cards, while the high paying Coin, Colosseum, Helmet, Chariot and bonus symbols gleam with intent.

With the blue sky shining above and the ornate symbols, it’s like spending a day with Roman emperors and watching the games (no Christians were harmed in the making of this online slot).

Gameplay

Roman games in the Colosseum probably didn’t have many bonus features. The main bonus would be not to be eaten alive by the lions. Thankfully, there’s not a wild mane in sight in the Centurion slot, though with Raging Rhino behind it we’re sure SG Digital could have pulled off that particular piece of wild slots mastery.

We can trigger a range of Reel Modifiers at random to boost our base game wins. Good old Maximum appears on screen, blows his own trumpet and awards us one of four mini-bonuses, such as Colossal 3x3 symbols, extra bonus symbols, a big win or five of a kind. Even better than this are the main bonus rounds, triggered by landing three or more of the Bonus symbols.

Free Spins are a given and perhaps it’s an insult to Caesar’s name by calling them Caesar’s Free Spins as there are much better bonuses on hand. In fact, the Wild Power Spins give us Free Spins with Wilds that move around on each spin, and then comes the Prizes on Parade feature, which lets us choose a prize.

But it’s the Road to Rome feature which really gets our attention. We head to a battlefield, roll the dice and move our champion across the board. It’s like a checkers meets chess type game. Only with much better prizes.

Verdict

SG Digital delivers yet again with this awe-inspiring trip back to ancient Rome. In fact, if Asterix and Obelix made an appearance on this slot, we’d actually be favouring the Romans for a change.

Especially when we have generous betting options and multiple bonus rounds. Slots fans of any playing ability will find something to enjoy on Centurion. Ave Caesar!
