Reign of Rome

Reign of Rome is a high-volatility slot game developed by Hacksaw Gaming, featuring a 5×5 reel layout and 19 fixed paylines. The game's Return to Player (RTP) rate is 96.27%, with alternative RTP settings available depending on the operator. Players can place bets ranging from €0.10 to €100 per spin.

The game's symbols are divided into low-paying and high-paying categories. Low-paying symbols include the standard 10, J, Q, K, and A, while high-paying symbols feature thematic icons such as goblets, swords, helmets, lions, and eagles. Winning combinations are formed by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.​

A notable aspect of Reign of Rome is the absence of wild symbols. Instead, the game introduces Tribute symbols and the LootLine mechanic, which play a central role in the gameplay and bonus features.

Cascade mechanic

After every winning combination, the Cascade feature removes the winning symbols from the reels, allowing new symbols to fall into place. This process continues as long as new winning combinations are formed.​

Tribute symbols and LootLines

Tribute symbols are special symbols that come in four variations:

• Adding Tribute Symbols: Carry values from 1x to 10x the bet.

• Revealing Adding Tribute Symbols: Reveal values between 15x and 500x the bet.

• Multiplying Tribute Symbols: Apply multipliers ranging from 2x to 5x.

• Revealing Multiplying Tribute Symbols: Reveal multipliers between 6x and 25x.

A LootLine is formed when a winning payline consists solely of Tribute symbols. The values of these symbols are combined sequentially from left to right, with Adding Tribute symbols contributing their values directly and Multiplying Tribute symbols applying their multipliers to the cumulative total.

Bonus rounds

• Path to Power: Triggered by landing three FS scatter symbols, this bonus round awards 10 free spins. During this feature, there's an increased chance of landing higher-value Tribute symbols. Landing two or three additional FS scatters during the bonus awards an extra 2 or 4 free spins, respectively.

• This Is Rome: Activated by landing four FS scatter symbols, this bonus round also grants 10 free spins. In addition to the features present in Path to Power, This Is Rome introduces the LootBar mechanic. Non-winning Tribute symbols that land during a spin with at least one Tribute symbol win are stored in the LootBar beneath the reels. When all five positions of the LootBar are filled, the stored Tribute values are awarded. The LootBar resets after each payout.
• Fight for Glory: The most coveted bonus round, Fight for Glory is triggered by landing five FS scatter symbols and awards 10 free spins. In this feature, all LootBar positions start with a 20x multiplier. Non-winning Tribute symbols add their values to the respective LootBar positions, which are then cumulatively awarded at the end of the bonus round. Additional FS scatters during the bonus can award extra free spins.
