Apparently, Playtech is a big fan of all things involving armored men wielding swords. Already offering the popular Gladiator online slot, online gaming software developer Playtech has a new slot with a spartan theme. The online slot is cleverly named Sparta. The Spartans are known for many things, including funky plumed helmets, fighting off a much larger Persian force at the battle of Thermopylae, and being the mascot for Michigan State University. Sports fans in Ann Arbor don’t have to worry, though, the Sparta game has no collegiate affiliation.

The 5-reel, 30-payline online slot has coin denominations from 1 cent to 5 dollars and players can wager up to 10 coins per line, meaning the maximum wager is $1,500. Maximum payout if $200,000. The game features various Spartan symbols, including soldiers, swords and catapults. Scatter symbols of the Spartan army can earn the player 15 free spins with double points. Riskier players have the opportunity to go double or nothing on their entire win or on half of their winnings.

After releasing the online slot based on Academy Award-winning Gladiator, releasing a Spartan game seemed like the next logical step. Spartan history and culture has seen a surge in interest thanks to the popularity of the Zack Snyder film 300, despite the fact that it’s a terrible movie. Just imagine how popular Playtech’s Sparta game will be if anyone releases a good Spartan movie. Sparta can be played at any of Playtech’s affiliated online casinos.

If you’re like me and you enjoy Ridley Scott movies, or you just like movies with men in skirts and sandals, then you should head to Play United online casino. Gladiator, an online slot machine based on the Oscar-winning film of the same name, is a fun way to play online video slots. The officially-licensed game features symbols of Joaquin Phoenix and Djimon Hounsou, among others. Russell Crowe, who played the lead role in the film, is nowhere to be found, though, probably for contractual reasons.

Gladiator, designed by software giant Playtech, is a 5-reel, 25-payline online slot featuring two bonus games, free games, and the chance to win up to 90 times your wager. Upon signing up for Play Unlimited online casino, new users can earn up to $750 in a welcome gift. Fans of online slots will enjoy the special effects and ancient Roman scenery. Luckily, Playtech decided to make a game out of a good movie like Gladiator rather than terrible sword-and-sandals movies like Troy or Alexander. I’m still trying to repress the 3 hours I spent watching Alexander from my memory. But what I really want to know is, where is my Braveheart slot machine? Aside from Mel Gibson’s mug, the game can feature symbols of blue-painted faces and Scots mooning the English. Get on it, Playtech.
