Spartacus Wonder 500 Review

Light and Wonder have always been on the more average side of things, but that’s not to say that this studio can’t produce a good online slot. It can, but there are also some bad apples thrown into the mix here and there. Well, we’ll get to all the important details in this review, and there’s no better place to start than the game’s playing field. Or playing fields, we should say, as there are actually two. The left playing field has 5 reels, 4 rows and 25 paylines, while the right playing field has 5 reels, 12 rows and 75 paylines.

As you’d expect from a slot called Spartacus Wonder 500, the visuals are all about the ancient Greek culture here. That’s a fairly classic theme, all things considered, and we unfortunately have to say that the production values are a bit below average overall. Some of the slot’s symbols look really nice, don’t get us wrong, but it’s all rather unfocused, and the card suit symbols are simply bland.

Let’s now take a look at the game’s math model.

Its volatility is medium, and the top win is only 500x your bet, which is nothing to write home about. The betting range then starts at £0.10 and goes only to £10 per spin, which means that the slot isn’t a good fit for high rollers. And the theoretical RTP of Spartacus Wonder 500. Well, the game comes with RTP ranges, but it seems that it currently offers values of only 92% and 94%, which is incredibly disappointing.

Spartacus Wonder 500 Slot Features

There are 10 pay symbols in Spartacus Wonder 500, and it’s very much possible to divide them into 6 low pays and 4 high pays. For the low pays, there are your usual card suits, helmets, and swords.

You can get up to 1.5x your bet for a full combination of these symbols, while things are fortunately better when it comes to the high pays. Those feature lions, gladiators, and two characters. The top-paying symbol of Spartacus pays out 5x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.

Aside from pay symbols, there are also Wilds and Colosseum Scatters. Wilds even come with payout values of their own, while Colosseum Scatters are your tickets to the Free Spins feature.

Spartacus Wonder 500 Slot – Free Spins Feature

Now – before we get to the Free Spins feature, we have to talk about Replicating Wilds and Nudging Wilds. Whenever you fill the main reel set with 4 Wilds on a single reel, they will replicate and transfer over to the right playing field, giving you a much higher chance of winning in the process. As for the Nudging Wilds feature, it’s active only during free spins, and it allows Wilds that land on the main reel set to automatically expand and cover the entire reel!

Land 3, 4, or 5 Colosseum Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature with 8, 12, or 20 free spins, respectively. Retriggers are available as well, according to the same formula, and there’s no limit to how many free spins you can get in one go.

Review Summary

Truth be told, Spartacus Wonder 500 is a rather disappointing package overall. Its graphics are a bit shabby, its gameplay features are nothing special, and its math model is below average as well.

The idea of having 2 playing fields is legitimate, but Light and Wonder did very little with it, and we therefore unfortunately can’t recommend this game to anyone.

Pros

• Interesting idea of 2 playing fields

Cons

• Subpar presentation
• Disappointing math model
• Just not worth your time
