The Spartacus Megaways slot is packed with a selection of unique mechanics, alongside a variety of immersive sound effects to keep players engaged in the action. As for the background, it takes the form of a colosseum, with golden accents being visible on either side. The game board takes up the rest of the remainder of the screen and due to the minimal user interface, this title translates seamlessly over to mobile devices, including phones and tablets.
Naturally, players can also find the infamous Megaways mechanic in this release. When matching combinations form, they cascade off the board before the remaining icons tumble and fresh symbols drop in from above. There is also an extra reel at the bottom of the screen, and the number of active paylines will vary with every spin.
Spartacus Megaways was created by SG Digital, a company that regularly partners with other providers to offer the best possible experience to players. Some of the other online slots in their portfolio include Dancing Drums Prosperity, 5 Treasures, and Dave Lame: Bad Magician, to name just a few.

Also, Spartacus Megaways brings in the usual 9, 10, J, Q, K and A characters like many other games offer. But what makes it more exciting are its premium symbols that all relate to gladiators.
Also, two unique symbols are present. The first one is a wild symbol shown as a gladiator and the second one is a scatter symbol represented by a colosseum. Wilds can replace any standard or premium symbol as part of a matching combination, while scatter icons can be responsible for triggering the main bonus mode!
There are three bonus features in Spartacus Megaways, with the 'Red Curtains' mechanic being particularly unique.
Now, it's first worth mentioning that Spartacus Megaways comes with a cascade multiplier. For every cascade sequence that occurs, the win multiplier for the spin will be increased by 1x with no cap being imposed on how high it can reach.
While the number of symbols per row does change with every spin, there's another way to change the number of paylines too. This links to red curtains, which cover up random positions on the board during every spin. At first, these curtains act as blockers, but if a matching combination occurs, one will be removed at random to increase the number of active paylines.
Of course, there is also a free spins bonus mode in Spartacus Megaways which can be triggered by landing 4 or more scatter icons simultaneously. Before the round starts, players will spin a wheel to determine the number of spins they will receive (Between 6 and 16), with a red curtain configuration also being determined.
Unlike in the base game, the curtains in the free spins mode cannot be removed from the board. However, all wilds that appear will fully expand to cover their corresponding wheel, which includes any positions that are occupied by a red curtain. Being able to land three or more scatter icons simultaneously will also retrigger the bonus mode, awarding the same number of spins that initially appeared on the wheel.
