Gladiator Jackpot is, as you probably worked out, the progressive jackpot version of the always popular Gladiator slot, Playtech’s epic slot based on the legendary film starring Russell Crowe.As well as the progressive jackpot to be won, there’s also 24 free spins with extra scatter and wild symbols to be won if you’re lucky, there’s many a way to win a tidy sum with Gladiator Jackpot!
Lucky month
May has been quite the month for jackpot wins so far, this lucky player’s £1.6 million haul comes just days after a LeoVegas player from the UK picked up a £2.9 million win on Mega Fortune Dreams, and a matter of weeks after a lucky player found themselves over £10 million richer due to a massive win on the Dark Knight Rises jackpot slot from Microgaming.
These games probably won’t pay out for a while now as the jackpot builds back up, but if you’ve got your eye on a huge win then there’s others you can look out for, like Playtech’s Jackpot Giant, and NetEnt’s Hall of Gods, which are sitting pretty with a jackpots of over £1 million at the time of writing.
