Roman Emperors

Red Tiger frames Roman Emperors around a Latin motto — Fortuna Ac Felicitas, roughly translating to fortune and happiness — running through a base game set in a crowded Roman public square filled with columns and statues, before the free spins move the action into a sunlit palace hall in keeping with imperial surroundings.

Play takes place across five reels of three rows, with 25 active paylines paying left to right from the first reel. Card-rank symbols from ten through ace form the lower end of the paytable, while chariots, scrolls, finger rings, olives and helmets make up the higher-value roster; five of the strongest card ranks pays 4x the stake, and the top pictorial symbols pay between 5x and 20x for a full line. A Roman soldier acts as the wild, substituting throughout and paying 40x the stake for five in a row. Stakes run from 0.10 to 10 per spin, against medium-high volatility and an RTP of 95.76%.

Three power meters sit above the middle three reels, each needing three points before it fires. A silver SPQR symbol fills one point onto the meter directly above it, while a rarer gold SPQR fills a point on all three meters at once; only up to three silvers, or a single gold, can appear in a spin, and the two versions never land together. Filling any meter sets off its matching character. Pompey clears every card-rank symbol from the reels for a respin. Crassus attaches a random win multiplier — x3, x5, x10 or x20 — to a respin. Caesar adds anywhere from three to six wild symbols before the reels spin again. Should more than one meter fill together, their effects run at the same time, and a respin with no win keeps repeating until one lands; every meter resets once its character has triggered.

Landing scatter symbols on both the far-left and far-right reels together awards 12 free spins, though scatters can't appear on the extra respins that Pompey, Caesar or Crassus set off. The three power meters disappear during the round; instead, a silver SPQR lands and immediately fires the feature tied to its reel, while a gold SPQR sets off all three effects in one go. Landing the two triggering scatters again during free spins tacks on another 12 spins.

Between the trio of power-fed features and paired sets of extra spins, Roman Emperors leans toward frequent smaller boosts alongside its rarer, larger respin outcomes, backed by a maximum win of 9,999x the stake.
