Released at the end of 2009 to Playtech Powered Online Casinos, Rome and Glory is a nifty 5 reel, 20 payline slot, based on, you guessed it, a Roman Theme.

The graphics employed are bright and sharp and the music adds to the overall ambience of Rome and Glory. Unlike many slots, the same symbol ( Coliseum Symbol ) acts as both the scatter and the wild symbol. Hit three or more Coliseums, and not only do you have three wilds, but you also trigger the bonus feature.

Rome and Glory also offers you the opportunity of doubling your win each and every time a win is hit. A fifty fifty chance, but a great added addition for players who can hold their nerve just a bit longer.

Rome and Glory is regarded as a high variance slot and is certainly not for the faint hearted. High variance means that on average the payout percentage could be as low as 30%, so if this is the case, why play it?

Well quite simply, if you are lucky enough to hit the feature or a individual big win, your winnings can be extremely high. In excess of 100x is common. However you can go hundreds of spins without even getting a whiff of hitting the bonus round.

The bonus round on Rome and Glory is triggered when three or more Roman Coliseums appear on any of the twenty paylines that the player is playing during any one spin. The Coliseum symbol also doubles up as the wild symbol.

Being a high variance slot, you can find your bankroll depletes rather quickly compared to other slots such as Gladiator or Cleopatra for example. So in our opinion, it is only really worth taking a chance on Rome and Glory if you have managed to build up your bank roll playing a lower variance slot beforehand.

Overall Rome and Glory is another great online slot developed by Playtech and featuring on those online casinos which utilise their software.

Players need to bear in mind though, that even if they hit the feature the propensity is for Rome and Glory to pay out either a very low amount within the region of 10x - 20x or 100x and above.

It can also take many hundreds of spins before the feature is triggered, thus consuming large chunks of your bankroll each and every time between features.

However, for those players, that are looking for a high variance slot, you cannot go far wrong with Rome and Glory.
