One of our most thrilling new additions, the branded slot, Gladiator (™). Based on the box-office blockbuster and offering original clips from the hit movie, the slot offers great prizes and bonuses. Equally, with multi-line and multi-spin slots, such as Wild Spirit and Silent Samurai, Playtech is taking slots to a whole new level. Coming soon: Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk.
