Rome Slot Machines Overview
Atmosphere / Background
The background for this game resembles the famous Roman Parthenon that we’ve
all seen in pictures and are familiar with what the Romans used it for. So it’s
fitting that the game would have these famous columns as its backdrop.
The columns are just as you’d expect them to look when they were first built.
They’re beautifully crafted and lend great authenticity to the game. The
operation buttons and the jackpots are housed in rectangular boxes that have
been made to resemble ancient scrolls.
These are combined with the reels that resemble stone slabs where the symbols
lay. The reels don’t have any extra design which is a little disappointing
considering the great job that was done on the background however, with the
downplaying of the reels it allows for the symbols to really stand out which is
nice.
The title for the game is displayed at the top of the reels between the
jackpot holders and is done in a beautiful red that adds color to the game.
Music and Sound Effects
One thing about this game that sets it apart from most of the 777igt games
out today is that it doesn’t have any background music at all. For us this isn’t
a problem because we like to just play the game and don’t usually find the music
fitting but for some this might be a problem. Without the music the only sounds
associated with the game is the spinning of the reels, which is nothing special.
When you get a win you hear the regular chiming sounds that you find in most
other games. This area was completely overlooked by the designers and even
though we don’t usually have much good to say about the games music this one not
having a soundtrack kind of kills the excitement that a good soundtrack can
provide.
Animations
Rome has animations that can be seen at different intervals in the game. Of
course you have the small animations that are attached to the symbols
themselves. These animations are seen only when a symbol is included in a win.
The symbols don’t have eye catching animations but some spin rapidly while
others pulse to let you know they’re a part of a win. When you trigger a special
feature an announcement is flashed across the screen in big gold letters telling
you which one you triggered.
These features can vary between free spins, scatters, and if you’re really
lucky a jackpot win. When you trigger the bonus game that’s where you see the
most animation.
The bonus game is similar to others we’ve seen by this designer and though
it’s where the most animations are concentrated it’s still a minimal amount
compared to other games.
Rome Pay Table and Graphics
Symbols and payouts for Rome are as follows:
Jackpot Symbols
Parthenon
This symbol is a beautiful picture of the well-known temple of the
Greek goddess Athena holds the highest pay out option in the game. This symbol
triggers the MEGA jackpot when and only when you receive a total of 5 on the
reels at the same time.
Roman Shield and Spears
This symbol of war is the symbol that triggers the
Minor jackpot win. When you get 5 of these symbols anywhere on the reels at the
same time you win the second largest jackpot.
Coat of Arms
The coat of arms is the symbol for the smallest of the three
jackpots. When you get 5 of these on the reels you trigger the mini jackpot.
Special Feature Symbols
Water Vase
This intricately designed black and gold vase was used to carry
water in ancient roman times. In this game it represents as the wild symbol.
This symbol can replace any symbol on the reels to complete a win except for the
scatter, free spin, bonus, or jackpot symbols. If you see this symbol on the
reels 5 times you get a multiplier added to your win in the amount of 150 times.
Gladiator
This man represents the many warriors of this time period. He
serves as the scatter symbol and provides you with multipliers based on the
number of times he shows up on the reels. He pays 5 times for a combination of
3, 30 times for a combination of 4, and 100 times for a combination of 5.
Roman Statue
This symbol triggers the free spins feature of the game. You
are awarded free spins based on the number of times it shows up on the reels.

Symbol Graphics
Most of the symbols for this game seem to be authentic images that were
placed in the game. We found this to be a great choice as it adds authenticity
to the game and draws in those history buffs that love old artifacts.
With the use of the images instead of drawings it added to the game and also
reduced the guessing as to what a symbol stood for in both the game and Roman
history. Most games now days have a combination of theme related symbols
combined with poker symbols to complete the game.
This game is no different; however this is where we found our one complaint
with the symbols. The symbol that is used to represent the Q in the poker
symbols is not what we expected. We did some research to see if they used a
Roman character instead of a modern Q but this wasn’t the case.
We kept looking and the only thing we could find that resembled the symbol
used was one that represented Neptune and we really don’t understand this. The
more we looked at the symbol we could see that it does kind of look like a Q
that wasn’t completely closed but we think this was a poor choice considering
the other poker symbols are clear as to what they stand for.
Rome Slot Extra Feature
777igt never lets us down when it comes to special features and they didn’t
forget anything on this game. All the regular players are here and give us
reason to continue to play Rome every chance we get.
The jackpots come in three different sizes.
Most games only have one jackpot for you to try to win but 777igt likes to
change things up so they added two more so you get a total of three chances to
win big.
- Mega jackpot
Is the largest of the three available jackpots. It is unlikely
that you ever get a real chance at winning this pay out but it gives us reason
to keep playing in hopes we get lucky enough sometime. This jackpot is triggered
only when you get 5 of the Parthenon symbols on the reels at the same time.
- Minor jackpot
This jackpot is the middle jackpot that can be a great win if
luck is on your side. You must get 5 of the Roman Shield and Spears symbol to
trigger this win.
- Mini jackpot
Although this may be the smallest jackpot win available you
can’t argue with a starting dollar amount of 30,000 that just keeps growing as
you play. Get 5 of the coat of arms symbols to trigger this jackpot win.
In this game the wild doesn’t really live up to those that are found in other
games. For some reason 777igt has deemed the wild the lowest of the special
features which limits it effect on the game. It does still sub for all of the
regular symbols on the reels but it can’t replace any of the special features
symbols which kind of sucks but we take what we can get. One good thing about
this symbol is if you get 5 on the reels you get an extra multiplier in the
amount of 150.
This game offers another chance for you to win multipliers and that comes
with the scatter symbol. One of the most recognizable figures from roman times
is the gladiator and 777igt designers didn’t want to leave them out. For this
game they gave the gladiator the opportunity to multiply your wins when it
appears on the reels three or more times.
A slot game just wouldn’t be the same without winning free spins. When you
get three or more of the statue symbols on the reels you’re awarded a certain
number of spins. These spins start automatically after the announcement flashes
across the screen. During these free spins you can rack up a lot of wins that
you don’t have to pay for. This is the best thing about the free spin feature.
When you’re playing this game keep an eye out for the treasure chest. This
symbol triggers a trip to the bonus game where you get a chance to win multiple
times and at totals that are far higher than those found in the regular game.
When you get three or more of the treasure chests you’re taken to a new
screen that’s laid out like a map of different symbols. You see the silver
helmet, silver bowl, and the treasure chest that represent stopping points for
the chariot.
You get two chances to build up your wins by spinning the wheel. After you
spin the wheel your chariot takes off along the mapped out course and stops
based on the number you landed on when you spun the wheel.
When you’ve completed both spins your total win is displayed across the
screen before you’re transported back to the regular game.
Some of the games we’ve played in the past we’ve found it’s hard to actually
trigger the special features but the best thing about 777igt games is this
really isn’t the case. Some games trigger the free spins and scatter symbols
more but others like this one we found the bonus triggers more than the others.
For example, when we first started playing this game for this review our first
spin triggered the bonus game. We were pleasantly surprised when in about eight
more spins it was triggered again.
Betting Options
All of the games we’ve played designed by 777igt have had unfixed pay lines.
This may be just what you’re looking for but we don’t think this is always the
best way to set up the pay lines. Yes it gives the player more flexibility and
control but does it really help when it comes to win chances?
The answer is no; the more lines you play the better off you are. When you
start messing with the number of lines being played is when you start missing
out on wins. As long as you play all the lines available you won’t miss out on
anything.
Rome has a total of 50 pay lines available. If you decide to change the
number of lines being played be advised the minimum number of lines that can be
played is 10 with the max being set at 50. So if you decide to play the 10 you
could be missing out on wins on 40 other pay lines. You don’t want to miss out
on that much money and neither do we.
The range for your wager is set between .01 to $1.20 per spin. This makes the
game great for all who want to give it a try.
Game Rules
Rome game rules are in line with most other 5 reel slot machines. Below are
the main rules:
- Wins are formed and paid from left to right on the reels
- If one pay line has two or more wins the highest win is paid out
- Any misuse or malfunction aborts the game and everything is reset to
default.
- Wilds don’t sub for jackpot, scatter, or bonus symbol.
- The scatter symbol triggers additional multipliers based on number
of symbols on the reels
- Bonus game is triggered when three or more bonus symbols appear anywhere
on the reels
- The wild symbol has a payout when you get 5 symbols on the reels at the
same time.
- Jackpots can only be won when the designated symbol is found on the
reels 5 times.
Conclusion
From the beginning of our time playing this game we really enjoyed the entire
experience. This game has such an authentic feel and design that it just makes
the game that much more fun to play.
We really enjoyed the fact that they used images to represent the roman
symbols instead of making them look cartoonish like you see in so many other
games that use this theme. Another thing we really like about the game is the
bonus game.
The bonus game isn’t the best of the best for 777igt but we think the ability
to rack up wins is a great way to keep people coming back. So the fact that you
can’t lose in the bonus game and that you get two chances to win big bucks makes
this our favorite part of the game.
This game didn’t have much for us to find issue with but the two things we
did think could be changed was the lack of music associated with the game and
the symbol that was chosen to represent the Q in the poker symbols.
Neither of these two are big issues nor should they keep you from giving Rome
a try. We know you’ll enjoy this game.
