Caesar's Empire Slots

Julius Caesar was a famous ruler who met a bad end, betrayed by many of those who stood with him in the Roman Senate. Regardless of that, he is still doing well today as a major character in plenty of online slot games. We’re going to review one of those games right here – the Caesar’s Empire slot.

Theme and Design

"All hail the empire!" was the cry of many who supported Caesar during his reign. Thankfully, you don’t need to call out anything like that here. This slot features a 2D presentation that looks a little aged compared with new games, but don’t let that deter you – it’s a grand slot to play.

The Coliseum looms behind the reels, giving scope and detail to the game itself. The ancient Roman times are popular in many modern slots, and that theme plays out nicely here with familiar elements used as icons. The familiar layout of the controls makes this an easy one to get started with, especially if you have played other older titles.

Developer Information

The game was released a few years back by RTG – Real Time Gaming. They have an excellent pedigree, and this slot has a few more surprises than you might expect to see from a classic title.

Gameplay Mechanics

The game adopts a standard five-reel, three-row format with 20 paylines. You can reduce the quantity of lines you play on, though playing the full 20 is recommended. Betting values begin at one cent and go no higher than 10 cents per line. This means the maximum bet is just two dollars, making the slot ideal for small-budget players but perhaps less appealing for high rollers.

Everything is very clear on the reels. A random jackpot appears just above the third reel, active only for players making real wagers. There is a gold coin bearing Caesar’s face that is used on the first four reels as a wild symbol. He carries a generous 3x multiplier for prizes he contributes to. He cannot replace the scatter – the Coliseum – but he can replace all other symbols.

Bonus Features

While Caesar’s Empire does not feature a traditional second-screen bonus, it does offer a robust free spins feature. You trigger this by finding one or more Caesar gold coins on any reel(s) and the Coliseum on the fifth reel. This unique trigger requires just two icons, making it potentially easier to activate than features in other games.

You are awarded 10 free games, and anything won during these freebies gets a 2x multiplier. The wild Caesar coin can appear across all five reels in this feature. The Coliseum can also appear, but if it does, it changes into one of two other symbols – the wild coin or Cleopatra. Every appearance of the gold coin during the feature gives you another five free spins, meaning you could get significantly more than the original 10 awarded.

RTP and Verdict

This is a great slot that many players love, carrying an RTP of around 95%. While it may not look modern, it stands up well and is a delight to play. We give it an 8.5 out of 10, losing points only because it lacks a separate bonus game. However, the free spins feature is often more exciting than those found in other games.
