Legion Gold Unleashed

Unlike the original, which took place in a Roman amphitheatre, the environment of Legion Gold Unleashed is transported far away, certainly to one of the many places conquered by the Romans, and judging by the desert setting surrounded by palm trees and oriental buildings, it’s a safe bet that we’re not far from the Mediterranean coast of Africa. Isn’t that the city of Carthage, destroyed and rebuilt by the Romans, in the background? Let’s leave room for all eventualities and continue our progress by inspecting the technical features of this game.

Legion Gold Unleashed’s grid remains the same, with 5 3-row reels forming 25 paylines. Volatility is medium, the RTP is 96.25% and it’s now possible to generate winnings of up to 3,000x the stake, a notable one-third increase on the original title.

Legion Gold Unleashed vs. 4 slots from Play n GO

Ensuring greater wealth for the Empire, and facing down enemies for the glory of Rome, will first and foremost require the adjustment of a stake. These range from $0.05 to $100 per spin, and are used to launch the reels and win prizes. The A, K, Q and J symbols pay between 0.30x and 3x the stake, while the elephant, tiger, crocodile and eagle pay between 0.60x and 30x the stake as strong symbols. To win prizes, you’ll need to line up 3 to 5 identical symbols from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. The Wild, represented by the Roman legionary, pays between 1.50x and 30x the stake and replaces all symbols except the Scatter.

In terms of features, the Legion Gold Unleashed slot machine doesn’t really stray far from what’s been done in the past: there are Gold Re-Spins and the return of Mega Free Spins, then on top of that, players will be able to experiment with the Gold Coin Bag function.

Fill the reels to win 1,000x the bet.

Gold Re-spins

Make 6 gold coins appear to trigger the Gold Re-Spins bonus. Gold coins can appear with values between 1x and 1000x the stake, and only gold coins will appear on the reels. When a gold coin appears, it stays put and resets the Re-Spins counter to 3. Once Re-Spins are complete, all coin values are collected and paid out.

If you manage to fill the entire reels, you’ll win 1000x the stake as the Golden Prize.

Gold Coin Bag

If a Gold Coin Bag appears on the screen during Gold Re-Spins mode, all gold coin values currently on the reels will be collected by the Gold Coin Bag and an instant prize will be hit by the player. Gold coins can be collected repeatedly in this way during Gold Re-Spins.

Mega Free Spins

Match 3 Scatter symbols to trigger 5 Mega Free Spins. The Mega symbol covering 3×3 positions will move across the grid with each spin. What’s more, Gold Re-Spins can be triggered in the bonus by making a Mega Gold Coin appear. It will then break down into 9 gold coins with random values. Gold Re-Spins will be played and the remaining Mega Free Spins will then resume.

Back to the battlefield

Play N Go’s Legion Gold Unleashed slot may not be what we expected, the graphics are superb with a dive into the history of ancient Rome and its conquests, the features are pretty solid with various bonus modes, but there’s little that’s new compared to the previous title. To tell the truth, the scenery changes, which is very welcome, the addition of a bag of gold for instant prizes and the increased winning potential of 3000x the stake are the other positive points that will convince us to stick with this version rather than the original. On the other hand, we can’t call this a “wild” slot either, although it has all the ingredients to lure a good number of players.
