Does Chase for Glory Slot Have the Most Complicated Free Spins Feature?
The Colosseum was a wild piece of ancient engineering. The massive amphitheater measured 189 meters long, 156 meters wide, and 50 meters tall. It had 80 entrances and could seat 50,000 spectators, which is about the same as Yankee Stadium or Anfield. All this was completed in just eight years with the most basic of tools. It’s mind-blowing.
Explore the grounds of the Colosseum in its prime with Chase for Glory slot from Pragmatic Play.
Gladiators, are you ready?
A round of the slot’s insanely complicated free spins bonus feature is triggered with the appearance of three or more Colosseum symbols. Once a round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered, you’ll be asked to choose a champion. Each champion will award a unique number of spins and offer a specific selection of wild multipliers.
- Green champion – 25 free spins and 2x wild multipliers
- Red champion – 20 free spins and 2x and 3x multipliers
- Blue champion – 15 free spins and 3x and 5x wild multipliers
- Purple champion – 10 free spins and 5x wild multipliers
Once you have selected your champion, your round of free spins will be launched, with each of the four champions getting their own set of reels.
The reels of the green champion will begin spinning first. After five spins, the red champion’s reels will begin spinning. Five more spins, and the blue champion’s reels will start spinning. The purple champion’s reels will start spinning after another five free spins. This staggered approach means that the reels of all champions will stop spinning at the same time. The wins generated by each champion will be kept separately.
While the reels are spinning, gold coins may appear on the reels and be collected by the corresponding champion. If the champion you selected has the most gold coins by the end of the round, you will receive the winnings generated across all four sets of reels. However, if your champion has not collected the most gold coins, you will only receive the winnings generated on your champion’s reels.
Other than that mess, the only other bonus feature included is a wild symbol that only appears on reels two and four.
If you’re not keen on waiting around to unlock a round of free spins the old-fashioned way, you can select to purchase a round. With this feature, I do like the convenience of knowing the cost of buying a round of free spins without having to launch it.
Is Chase for Glory slot worth the trouble?
Chase for Glory slot offers very high volatility, which means that its gameplay will be marked by long stretches of very little action. Sure, you can speed things up with the buy bonus feature, but that’s going to cost you. The slot’s 7,887x max multiplier results in winnings of up to €331,254 when you’re betting at the €42 per spin maximum bet amount. The slot has an RTP of 96%.
Let’s talk about the Chase for Glory slot graphics. They’re a little dated, but certainly not bad at all. The characters that have some animation being positioned around the reels do add a lot to the visual appeal of the slot. Things do fall apart with the bonus features, though. The free spins feature is just too long and too complicated. Especially if you select the purple champion, you’ll have to sit through 15 free spins that may, if you don’t receive the most gold coins, be meaningless to your outcome. I love that Pragmatic Play is trying to innovate, but they got this one wrong. I give Chase for Glory slot a five out of ten.
If you’re looking for a few Pragmatic Play slots that I do recommend, try Snakes and Ladders Megadice and Big Bass Bonanza.
