How to Play Centurion by Inspired Gaming
The first step to playing Centurion is to select your bet amount which can go from $0.20 to $250. After that, click the ‘Spin’ button to let the reels begin spinning and wait for them to stop. Your goal is to have at least two of the same symbols land on any of the game’s 20 paylines; should that happen, you will receive a payout according to the symbol’s given value and the number of symbols involved in the winning combination.
The most valuable symbol is the one bearing the Centurion: Maximus Winnus logo and having five of it form a winning combination will award you with 500x your bet. Other themed paying symbols include a centurion riding a chariot, a shield paired with two swords, the Colosseum, a silver coin and a centurion’s helmet while J, Q and K are the lowest paying symbols.
Special Features of Centurion
Centurion has a Wild symbol that can substitute for all paying symbols and consequently help form winning combinations. This does not include the Bonus symbol which features the game’s titular character and will trigger the Bonus Feature Wheel if three or more of it lands on the reels. If this happens, a special wheel will appear, and you have to spin it to find out which one of the game’s four special features will become available to you.
The first possible option is the Prizes on Parade bonus round where you will be presented with the titular character as well as three Roman soldiers who are holding their shields in front of them. Adorned on these shields are win multipliers of up to 50x and Collect symbols which will keep flashing until you choose for them to stop. Landing on a multiplier will add it to the running total, landing on an arrow will advance you to the next shield and landing on a Collect symbol will award a cash prize before ending the bonus round. When this happens, the multipliers will be accumulated and applied to your bet amount for the final payout value.
Second is the Road to Rome bonus round which will bring to mind classic board games as you take control of the titular character and try to guide him across the board to Rome. You begin with five dice rolls where one determines whether the centurion moves forward, left or right while the other determines how many spaces he moves in that direction. Along the way, the centurion will collect additional dice rolls or win multipliers if he stops on the corresponding space. All the collected multipliers will be immediately applied to your bet amount, but you will receive an even bigger cash prize if you succeed in helping the centurion reach the other end of the board and consequently Rome.
The third option is the Wild Power Spins bonus round which grants three special free spins called Power Spins. During these Power Spins, the titular character will replace the second, third and fourth reels with stacks of three Wild symbols in that order. This is a cumulative effect so all three reels will have stacks of Wild symbols by the third and final free spin.
Finally, there is the Caesar’s Free Spins bonus round where you spin a wheel to determine how many free spins you will get and the value of the win multiplier that will be applied to your payout.
Apart from the four bonus rounds, there are the four Reel Modifiers features that can randomly trigger during the base game. During any regular spin, the titular character can emerge from his hiding spot and blow his trumpet to signal that a random Reel Modifier from the list below is going to be applied:
- Five of a Kind: A five-symbol winning combination will land on the reels
- Big Win: A significant cash prize involving the Centurion: Maximus Winnus logo symbol will be awarded
- Super Bonus Reels: More Bonus symbols than usual will land on the reels for that one spin, increasing the chances of the Bonus Feature Wheel being triggered
- Reelus Maximus: A 3×3 Colossal symbol will land on any three adjacent reels
