Gladiator Legends is not short of feature-action.
Throughout the game the Duel feature takes centre stage. The VS symbol required to trigger it is a Wild. When it lands, IF by expanding to full reel height it would form part of a win, then it does so, creating a DuelReel™. Then, a Gladiator Multiplier appears at each end of the reel and they duel to decide which multiplier prevails. The higher value one always wins.
The winning multiplier is then applied to every row on the reel before wins are evaluated and paid out.
In the base game the multiplier values for DuelReels™ are from 1x up to 100x.
Free Spins Bonus Rounds Come With Epic and Multiplier Coins
The bonus rounds here are epic, so be ready for them when they drop! You have two possibilities – the Champions of the Arena round unlocked by 3 Arena scatters and the Unleash the Beast round triggered by 3 Beast scatters.
Champions of the Arena With Epic Coin Multipliers
In Champions of the Arena, the round starts with 3 spins and re-sets every time a VS symbol lands. You can only land VS, non-winning skulls and multiplier coins in this round.
Each reel has its own multiplier value. When a VS lands on a reel a duel ensues and when its complete, the prevailing multiplier value replaces that at the top of the reel. But beware, because this means that your reel multiplier may go down as well as up after a duel!
Additionally, two types of Coin Multiplier appear on the reels. When a Normal one lands, then the reel multiplier value of the reels it lands on is multiplied by its own value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x. But if an Epic Coin Multiplier lands, then it multiplies ALL reel multipliers.
The objective here is to keep building up your reel multiplier values as high as possible because at the end of the round the game will total them all up and apply them to the current stake level to calculate your win.
In Champions of the Arena the multiplier values for DuelReels™ are from 1x up to 1,000x.
Unleash the Beast With Special Beast Duel Reels
Things get heavier still in the second bonus round – land 3 Beast Scatters to Unleash the Beast!
Same rules apply here, but reel 3 is locked to start. It only comes to life when a VS has landed on each or reels 1, 2, 4 and 5. It can then become a Beast DuelReel whose multiplier is applied to ALL other reels multipliers before they are applied to the reel multipliers at the top of each reel.
In Unleash the Beast the multiplier values for DuelReels™ are from 1x up to 250x for reels 1, 2, 4 and 5 and 2x to 20x for reel 3.
