Caesar’s Not Just a Salad in Power of Rome Slot
The web is a weird place. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would undoubtedly have seen someone post about how often men think about the Roman Empire. Apparently, the answer is every day. I’ll be honest: I was just as surprised as many of the women in the threads where this was discussed. Nonetheless, this weird meme drove such a huge social media movement that brands were desperate to get in on the action. I may, however, be a little late to the party, with the trend having long since died down.
Although the meme is dead, hundreds of thousands of men all around the world are, if you believe the hype, thinking about the Roman Empire right now. To those men, I introduce Power of Rome slot from Booming. Is it historically accurate? Well, probably not, but you just keep thinking about those Romans.
He came, he saw, he conquered
Power of Rome slot features five reels and 20 paylines. In the base game, the only bonus feature available is a wild symbol that will substitute for all other symbols, except the scatter symbol, to complete winning combinations. The game does, however, offer a small twist on the standard wild symbol. While standard wilds can appear on the reels, a multiplier wild symbol could also appear. These wilds will have a 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x multiplier that will be applied to any winning combination the wild is involved in.
A round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered with three or more scatter symbols. If you trigger the feature with three scatter symbols, you’ll get seven free spins. Four and five scatter symbols will award 10 and 15 free spins, respectively.
During free spins, all wilds that land on the reels will become sticky and will remain on the rules for the rest of your round. Any scatter symbols that land will add one additional free spin to your total and a 1x multiplier to every wild on the reels, which will have a base multiplier of 1x. The maximum multiplier value for the multiplier wilds is 5x your winnings. The multiplier value will be applied to any winnings that include the multiplier wild in question. When several multiplier wilds are included in a single winning combination, the multiplier values will first be added together and then applied to the winning amount.
If you’re not keen on joining Caesar’s army for a shot at triggering a round of free spins the old-fashioned way, you can select to purchase a round.
Does Power of Rome slot live up to the legacy of the Empire?
Power of Rome slot had medium to high volatility, which means that the gameplay will offer some small, consistent win opportunities but also periods of no winning while you chase the bigger multipliers. The slot has a maximum multiplier of 2,500x your bet, which, when betting at the $100 a spin limit, will allow you to play for up to $250,000. The slot has an RTP rating of 95.6%.
I really wanted to like this one. The introduction that you get when you launch the slot is so promising, but it never really meets those expectations. While the base graphics are fine, nothing special but fine, I had hoped that Booming would take it up a notch for free spins. And while I did enjoy that they chose what I assume was the fall of Rome, the graphics still seem a little average. That being said, there’s really nothing wrong with this one. The gameplay is entertaining, and the bonus features are engaging. I just wish it was a little more exciting. Power of Rome slot gets a seven out of ten.
