Scourge of Rome

In this epic, we meet the legendary Carthaginian general Hannibal. In 218 BC, this daring man accomplished the unthinkable by crossing the Pyrenees and then the Alps with his army and elephants, to reach northern Italy. This historical fact, incredible as it may seem, is real and serves as the backdrop for this warlike slot machine.

Play N Go appeals to intrepid players, ready to march to victory as this emblematic leader. Under the banner of the “Scourge of Rome”, as the studio has dubbed him, you’ll embark on a quest for ultimate glory against the Romans. Animations retrace the course of this epic war, starting with a striking cinematic where a map is unrolled to follow the army’s progress towards the mountains, offering full immersion in this historic adventure.

Play N Go’s originality is to be commended here: rather than plunging us back into the usual ancient Rome with its arenas and gladiators, the studio has chosen to highlight an equally beautiful but lesser-known story. The base game is set in the plains at the foot of the mountains, visible on the horizon, so we move into a frosty, snowy setting during the Free Spins.

Beyond its breathtaking visuals and theme, Scourge of Rome offers bonus features that reflect Hannibal’s tactical prowess. These include a new dynamic lanes system used during Free Spins, as well as a Wilds transformation feature.

You’ll relive this epic moment in history on a 6×4 reel grid featuring 4096 ways to win in the base game, then the reels will change size during the bonus. High volatility and an RTP of 96.20% are the main features of the game, and hang on, a winning potential of up to 40000x the stake is to be had by siding with Hannibal.

Bet between $0.10 and $100 per spin to get started. At least three identical symbols must appear anywhere on adjacent reels to win. The A, K, Q, J and 10 symbols pay between 0.20x and 1.40x your stake, while the war elephant, Carthaginian soldier, swords, spears and general are strong symbols paying between 0.50x and 20x your stake. Hannibal plays the role of Wild and can replace all symbols in the game except Scatters.

In terms of features, you’ll discover the Wild Flip function and the Free Spins bonus accompanied by sticky symbols and the Abyss Ways mechanic.

Wilds can cover the entire reel if at least 2 of them appear together.

Wild Flip

The Wild symbol can appear anywhere on reels 2 to 5, and will trigger the feature if there are at least 2 of them during a spin. During this feature, each Wild connected by a win has a 50% chance of becoming a Wild Reel covering the entire reel, providing even more chances of winning. Wilds will not, however, appear in the Free Spins bonus.

Free Spins

Get 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters symbols to trigger 10, 15, 20 or 25 Free Spins respectively. You can win up to 115 free spins by retriggering. During Free Spins, all elephant symbols will become sticky symbols and won’t necessarily need to be aligned to trigger a winning combination.

In addition, the Abyss Ways feature will be activated: at the start of each Free Spin, a random number of symbols at the bottom of the reels will become frozen, and at the end of each spin, all frozen symbols will fall from the reels reducing their size. Between each spin, a whole new row is added to the top of the reel, increasing its size.

Also, the foghorn symbol may appear during the bonus, and when it does, all the sticky elephants will move up one position before the frozen symbols fall. If there are fewer than 3 elephants on the screen, the foghorn will add more until there are three.
