Glory Of Rome (Habanero) – Review & Demo Play

Glory of Rome - Game Overview

I've put a fair few spins into Glory of Rome by Habanero. This 5-reel, 25-payline slot heads to the ancient Coliseum with a tight setup and sharp features. Wild symbols land on reels 2 and 4, can expand to 1x3, and carry multipliers up to 10x. Scatter symbols pay anywhere, so collecting shields adds steady value even outside the bonus. The Free Games feature can reach 30 spins with guaranteed wilds on those reels. There's a Super Bet and a Buy Feature for straight entry.

Released 30 July 2024, Glory of Rome pairs a high-volatility model with a max win of 5,526x. The game history feature lets me track results across sessions, which suits longer play and testing. Visuals hit the gladiator vibe without clutter, and the soundscape carries the action. It runs cleanly on mobile and desktop. Between expanding wild multipliers and scatters that pay anywhere, the base game keeps ticking over, while the bonus round is where I've seen streaky but exciting hits.

Symbols and Paytable in Glory of Rome

Glory of Rome sticks to 25 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right, only the longest win per line counts, and wins on different lines add up. The paytable is shown relative to the base bet. Low-paying royals are Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. They pay 0.08–0.8x, 0.08–1.6x, 0.2–2.4x, and 0.2–3.2x the total bet for three to five of a kind, respectively. Shield scatters pay anywhere and also trigger the feature.

High-paying symbols are Sword, Harp, Helmet, and Chalice, and they hit harder. Sword pays 0.32x, 1.6x, and 6.4x; Harp pays 0.32x, 2.4x, and 9.6x; Helmet pays 0.4x, 3.2x, and 16.8x; Chalice pays 0.6x, 4.8x, and 24x for three, four, and five of a kind. Scatter prizes come in at 3x, 20x, and 600x the bet when three, four, or five shields land anywhere on the grid, adding punch before the bonus even starts.

The wild is a Roman warrior that lands only on reels 2 and 4. It can appear in 1x1, 1x2, or 1x3 sizes and substitute to complete line wins. In the base game, wilds may reveal 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x multipliers. When more than one wild lands, the multipliers multiply each other on the same win. During Free Games, wilds still expand and reveal 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x, which is where I've seen the biggest swings.

Bonus Features in Glory of Rome

The Free Games feature triggers when three, four, or five scatters land anywhere, awarding 9, 18, or 30 free spins. Each free spin guarantees a wild on reels 2 and 4, with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x shown on the wilds. Free spins use the stake and lines from the triggering spin, and the round can retrigger if more scatters appear during the feature. This is the main route to the headline payouts.

There's a Buy Feature that costs 50x your stake and drops 3-5 scatters to start the bonus straight away. The Super Bet doubles the base bet and increases the chance of triggering Free Games. It also ramps up wild frequency in the feature and raises the chance of symbol upgrades during free spins. Stacked wild multipliers can combine on the same win, which is how those bigger totals show up when the round starts rolling.

How to Win at Glory of Rome Slot

Glory of Rome is straightforward. I start by picking the bet level (1-10) and coin value (0.01 to 20), then spin or set Autoplay. There are 25 fixed paylines, and line wins land from the leftmost reel, so aim for clean connections and watch the paytable. Scatters pay anywhere and trigger the main feature, while Super Bet is for when I want more bonus chances. If I'm in a hurry, the Buy Feature gives instant access to Free Games.

Glory of Rome Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP settings vary by release. Published figures include 96.74%–96.77% in common builds, with configurations ranging from 86.19% up to 97.95%. The volatility is high, so sessions can run quiet before landing heavier hits, especially once wild multipliers stack during Free Games. The max win is 5,526x the bet, which sits in reach when multipliers align on premium symbols. I treat the base game as steady, then lean on the feature for the larger chunks.

The Final Verdict on Glory of Rome

I like what Habanero has done here. The theme fits, the interface is tidy, and the action centres on expanding wilds with multipliers. Stacked multipliers that multiply each other can throw up proper moments, while scatter pays keep things ticking between bonuses. Free Games with guaranteed wilds make the round feel loaded without being messy. It's a slot I can grind when I want structure, then switch to the Buy Feature when I fancy pace.

It isn't flawless. The highs come from the feature, and high volatility demands patience and a stake plan. Still, the mix of multipliers up to 10x, 9-30 free spins, Super Bet, and a 5,526x ceiling adds enough edge for repeat sessions. For me, Glory of Rome is worth playing when I want clear mechanics, solid audiovisuals, and a bonus round that can actually deliver when the shields line up nicely.
