4 Corners of Rome Slot Features

Lock and Load in 4 Corners of Rome fires when matching symbols land in opposite corners on a diagonal. The 5 positions on that line transform into that symbol and lock while the rest respin. Any new winning symbols lock and you spin again until no new wins land. If both diagonals trigger, the centre turns Wild. Symbols on a locking line that form wins in another way also turn Wild. When the sequence ends, the total win is multiplied by the Lock and Load Multiplier.

The Lock and Load Multiplier starts at x1 and can reach x5. Landing 2 Scatters adds 1 to it. It resets after a Lock and Load payout in the base game, but holds its value during free spins, then resets afterwards. Hit 3 Scatters on reels 2 to 4 to enter free spins, where Lock and Load is guaranteed every spin. Choose 3 spins with very high risk, 6 spins with high risk, or 9 spins with the gentlest profile, with up to 4, 3, or 2 corners turning Wild.

In free spins a Multiplier symbol can land and add 1 to the meter for the rest of the round. The Bonus Buy in 4 Corners of Rome lets you pay 100x for guaranteed free spins, or stake a smaller amount to gamble the entry. The gamble costs a number of bets equal to the percentage chance, such as 20x for 20 percent or 50x for a coin flip. If you get in, you pick your spin package, and the multiplier is set at random from x2 to x5.

Final Verdict on 4 Corners of Rome

After a decent session with 4 Corners of Rome I rate the engine higher than the story. Lock and Load keeps things moving and the multiplier can top off runs nicely, especially when every spin in the bonus triggers the feature. The choice of 3 versus 9 spins is a proper dilemma, and I often settle on 6. RTP 96.12 percent sits around average and the high volatility shows. A 6300x ceiling is fair, not jaw dropping, but it kept me engaged.
