Head to the Colosseum where Gladiators fight it out in what is… well, a fairly mediocre Theatre of Rome mobile slot.
There was only one and only truly great theatre in the great city of Rome, and you had beautiful ladies, powerful lords and fearsome beasts fighting brave Gladiators – like in the Call of the Colosseum slot.
That’s not what you get here. Here you are stuck in the slave pit, with Ace to 9 symbols and some fairly generic Gladiators, boots, swords, sandals. There’s a lion there, we suppose, but it’s not particularly eye-catching.
In fact, as Merkur Games go, this Theatre of Rome slot is even less inspiring than the others in their collection.
This Theatre of Rome online slot is very easy to describe.
Theatre of Rome is a 7 payline video slot with scatters, free spins and wilds. You even have a gamble feature where you can gamble any wins by playing on two different sets of games.
Their big draw in the base game is the fact that the symbols pay when they are adjacent to each other; so you get a 3 of a kind win if the symbols are on reels 1, 2, and 3, or on reels 2, 3 and 4, or on reels 3, 4 and 5.
And that’s it. Fun right?
You don’t even have wilds in the base game. You have to get 3 scatters and then you have 5 free spins where the scatter also acts like a wild. But it’s not like that Gladiator shows up that often to help you along the way.
Why did we give it 2 stars? Well, because this is a Merkur Edict slot, which means that you can get some good wins when you get 4 or 5 of a kind wins.
Which is true to all their games, so really why not play something like the Night of the Werewolf mobile game or even Magic Mirror Deluxe 2 slot.

Scatters and Free Spins: The Gladiator is the scatter symbol and pays when 3 or more show up on screen.
However, when you do get 3 or more, you also trigger 5 free spins where the scatter now acts like a wild.
Gamble Features: Whenever you have any win you can choose to gamble your winnings in one of two ways.
You can choose to collect half your winnings at any point, or just collect, at any point.
We can't tell you not to play this Theatre of Rome game on mobile because... well... it's got some good simple mechanics.
Basically, if you like to play mobile slot machines with few paylines and quick easy wins, this isn't bad. You get good 4 and 5 of a kind wins, and basically, should appeal to players who like classic slots but want 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols.
But it just doesn't look great, and the little payoff when the free spins come, rarely makes you feel like this is truly that exciting.
If you like a simple game, try the Flaming Fox game by Red Tiger instead. Or if you love the big wins you get in Merkur, and want to try something new, the Light Blocks slot is certainly one of a kind.
