Rome The Golden Age Slot 

NetEnt came out with the historical Rome The Golden Age slot in January 2021, implementing all sorts of iconography tied to this ancient civilisation. The genre to which this game lends itself is a growing one nowadays, with many releases now taking inspiration from Roman culture and traditions. In order to remain unique from other online slots, though, this Rome The Golden Age title implements a collection of creative bonuses such as progressive multiplier mechanics and respin rounds.

When loading into the Rome The Golden Age slot, players are first presented with 5 reels, the number of rows being set up in a 3x4x5x4x3 fashion, moving from left to right. Despite the number of rows changing across the screen like in Megaways slots, there are just 25 paylines included by NetEnt. Two thick marble pillars sit on either side of the playgrid here, with the Rome The Golden Age user interface being positioned on the marble floor decorated with mosaics below. 

A Roman palace fills the rest of the backdrop in the Rome The Golden Age slot, featuring two giant stone statues inside it. Sunlight seeps through the balcony behind the reels, casting a golden flow onto the red curtains and plants also displayed within the room. By ditching the colosseums, like those seen in Rome Fight For Gold and Spartacus Megaways, in favour of a more unique setting, this release’s aesthetic remains a unique one within its genre.

Various items often associated with Roman emperors and gladiators have been included in the Rome The Golden Age slot, acting as the higher-valued symbols. Although the theme of this release predates live casino games by a couple of millennia, there have still been some card royals included by NetEnt, designed using jewels to give them a unique appearance.

Lower Value Symbols:

10

Jack (J)

Queen (Q)

King (K)

Ace (A)

Medium Value Symbols:

Swords

Gold Helmet

Gold Ring

Higher Value Symbols:

Eagle Statue

Tiger

A wreath displayed on a red banner acts as the scatter in the Rome The Golden Age slot, a detail which is often associated with the Roman era. As for the rest of the bonus symbols which NetEnt have added, there are golden circle wilds, emperor coins and the word ‘ROME’.

Any emperor coins that land on the reels in the Rome The Golden Age slot could be collected by a metre fixed to the top left of the playgrid. If enough of these are collected, this may also cause the multiplier counter on the opposite side of the reels to increase, with the potential values on this ranging from 2x up to 1000x. It is worth noting that this multiplier is not active in base game spins; instead, it is activated should the free spins round be triggered.

The nuance of the emperor coins in the Rome The Golden Age slot doesn't end there either, as landing one of these could leave a frame behind on the reels for the next spin. If a ‘ROME’ symbol happens to land inside of said frame, this could see any symbols adjacent to it converted into gold coin wilds.

Should a wreath banner scatter land on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the same spin, this could trigger the Rome The Golden Age free spins round. This begins with 3 free respins, in which only blank segments, wilds, ‘ROME’ symbols and golden shields could land on the reels. The latter of these could have random prize values assigned to them, and landing any of these may cause them to lock in place before resetting the respin total back to 3. It is during these free respins that any accumulated multiplier on the playgrid’s top right metre is made active, something which separates this bonus round from the one seen in Legion Gold.

One thing that is consistent across NetEnt’s titles at BoyleSports online casino is the mobile optimisation of their games. As this Rome The Golden Age slot is also built on the same HTML5 technology, its cross-device capabilities are the same, allowing it to resize to tablets, computers and smartphones. By connecting these play methods to the internet, users can access the game without the quality being hindered in any way whatsoever.

Whether it be down to the innovative playgrid design or the nuanced respin features included, the Rome The Golden Age slot manages to impress in a couple of ways. NetEnt has implemented its usual graphical expertise here too, incorporating a wide variety of symbols and other detailed imagery that effectively captures the historical aesthetic.

Titles such as Centurion Megaways and Reign of Rome are two other popular entrants within the same genre as this Rome: The Golden Age slot, if you enjoy its thematic elements.
