Maximus Soldier of Rome Megaways

When a slot developer returns with a fresh instalment of a game that went before, we’re always keen to see how well it fairs. And, instead of going down the sequel route, Inspired have taken somewhat of an inspired decision to add the Megaways mechanic to proceedings. So, punters will see an improved game based on the original but potentially have more chances to win, which is never a bad thing.

Maximus Soldier of Rome Megaways may be a Megaways title, just like Judge and Jury Megaways, but it doesn't mean that it's not accessible and available for everyone to enjoy. The bets per spin get underway from just 0.20, with a max stake of 20.00. So, there are plenty for high rollers to enjoy here too. The game is also compatible with mobile devices, so punters can log on and play whenever is convenient.

While the base game in this Inspired release is fun and has a lot to offer, the slot really comes alive when you get into the features, of which there are several. And the inclusion of the Megaways system is only going to heighten excitement levels, further. For anyone who enjoyed the original release, this Megaways version certainly brings more to the party.

Of course, the first feature symbol that’s going to get a mention is the wild. As the reels turn, if a wild appears, it does have the ability to replace every icon in the game apart from the bonus symbol. So, if you have a couple of icons and a wild, you’re going to receive a payout.

But, it’s worth noting that wilds can only appear on particular reels during specific features and modifiers, which we will come onto shortly.

To get started with the free spin bonus round, again, it’s the usual requirement of needing three or more scatters in view to trigger the feature. And it’s also a case of the more scatters a punter sees, the more free spins they will receive at the start.

As well as Megaways providing up to 117,649 ways to win per round, there is also the Cascade mechanic that comes into play. So, when symbols are a part of a winning combination, they will be removed from the reels, with the ones above falling into place. It can lead to chains of wins occurring.

There are random reel modifiers that can occur in Maximum Soldier of Rome Megaways, so keep an eye out for them. Perks can include more bonus symbols, big win modifiers, the maximum amount of ways to win, mystery symbols and more. This means there’s plenty of variety to keep things interesting.

Three or more scatters will open the door to the exciting and rewarding bonus wheel, and it's here that access can be gained to free spins, super prizes, wild power spins and a whole lot more. The more scatters in view, the better the rewards that are up for grabs.

If you played the original version of Maximus Soldier Of Rome by Inspired Gaming, you’re going to kind of know what to expect from this one. But, you’re going to be taking seeing all the good stuff, combined with the Megaways mechanic, which really brings the game on leaps and bounds. It’s a prime example of the sequel being an improvement on the first release.
