4 Corners Of Rome Slot

Unlike the complex technical devices that once existed under the floor of the Colosseum to facilitate the grandiose shows of Imperial Rome, the slot machine comes with simple diagonal connections on the 5×5 square playing field, crossed by 40 paylines.

4 Corners Of Rome slot comes with a parsimonious paytable which is not typical for even a winways game. Scatters don’t pay and the rest of the symbols pay between 2.5x to 0.3x for 5OAK on a betline. Stingy by all standards!

That is the reason for the low pay combinations all throughout the game and one simple calculation shows that a full screen of the premium symbol – the galea (gladiator’s helmet) comes to nothing more than 100x the bet, and paired with the max Multiplier of x5 (and extreme luck, of course) that comes to the unimpressive 500x the bet.

In 1 of our previous columns, we wrote about the importance of balance in the PHP trinity – slot fundamentals – Paytable/Hit rate/Potential. Curiously, that article was also about a Northern Lights Gaming creation.

4 Corners Of Rome slot has (according to the producer) an excellent max prospect of 6300x the total bet which is a strong plus, but has such low values on the provision board ​​and a regular hit rate that it already explains the extremely unstable session ahead if you chose to play this High Volatility game.

In a nutshell, we leave negative hints for attempts to complete the bonus money requirements with the 4 Corners Of Rome slot. The game seems too volatile for defensive players, and the max stake is low for most of the high-rollers.

We cannot see who this game will be suitable for as it requires a large starting capital and due to the low values ​​on the paytable, total bust sessions are very likely.

Bonus Features of 4 Corners Of Rome Slot

• Wilds – Ornate with golden laurel wreaths letter “W” is the Wild element in the game. It can make its own combinations and pays 0.8x/1.5x/2.5x for respectively 3/4/5OAK formations (top value on the paytable). Besides, Wilds are occupied with their usual substitution function.
• Lock and Load Multiplier – Left up from the grid you will notice the Multiplier Collector. It starts with x1 and each time 2 Scatters drop on the reels Multiplier’s rate goes up. It can grow to a maximum of x5. The multiplying ratio will be only used during the L&L feature (described below) and doesn’t concern the regular betline wins. Once the L&L Multiplier gets used will be reset to its initial x1 rate.
• Lock and Load feature – This function can only occur if in opposite diagonal positions on the grid (where the specially framed corners are, appear identical symbols. This triggers the L&L feature and:

1. The 2 matching corner symbols get linked
2. Connected symbols (on the so-created diagonal row) transform into the triggering corner symbol
3. The diagonal row sticks to its place
4. Winning symbols currently present on the reels also become sticky and finally,
5. Re-spin is initiated.

If more winning symbols drop they also stick to their place. The feature goes on until more wins can get constructed and locked to the grid. Once there are no more hits, or the whole grid is full, the L&L Multiplier will be applied to the win.

In case of all 4 corners are locked in this feature, the junction between the 2 diagonals will become Wild, and the further locked symbols will also turn Wild.
