Yggdrasil launches Roman-themed slot 3 Gladiators vs Caesar

Yggdrasil released 3 Gladiators vs Caesar on 22nd October 2024, a slot set in the Roman coliseum that pits three gladiators against Emperor Caesar.

The game centres on a Gladiator Feature, which triggers during every free spin and whenever two free spin symbols land during base play. This sees one of three weapons, a sword, mace or trident, thrown onto the reels, each adding wilds tied to the strengths of the individual gladiator.

Two free spins modes

Players can access wins through two free spins variants: Challenge and Deathmatch. Challenge Free Spins award eight standard spins with all wins locked in once the round concludes.

Deathmatch Free Spins introduces greater risk, requiring players to win at least 22.5 times their stake to retain accumulated winnings, which are then multiplied. Before the round begins, players choose between a x2 multiplier over seven spins, x3 over six spins, or x4 over five spins. If Caesar wins instead, players receive a consolation prize of either x2 or x10 their stake, or five Challenge Free Spins.

Theme and design

Yggdrasil said the release taps into renewed interest in Roman-themed content across film and television, with the studio applying its animation and sound design capabilities to the historical setting.

Tomasz Kowalik, Head of Games Production at Yggdrasil, said the game aims to capture the spectacle of Roman history across the reels through the individual arena skills of its three gladiator characters. He added that the base game is complemented by the two free spins modes, catering to players who prefer to secure wins as well as those willing to risk more against Caesar.

Yggdrasil, founded in 2013, is headquartered in Sweden with additional offices in Malta, Poland and Gibraltar. The company’s portfolio includes its BOOST promotional toolset and a range of Game Engagement Mechanics (GEMs).
