Victorious takes players back to the glory days of the Roman Empire when their legionnaires marched through Europe. With an excellent art style and exciting features, this game is sure to be a winner. Originally released in 2012 by developer NetEnt, they seemed eager to inject some history into their slot. They chose a great topic: the rise and expansion of the Roman Empire. This all unfolds within a 5-reel, 3-row playing field with 243 paylines.

The game is filled with beautifully drawn images, showcasing various characters involved in the Roman quest for power and land. The style is reminiscent of comics, meaning it’s realistic but not overly so. Instead, it focuses more on a sense of style and action.

The soundtrack is suitably fitting, not being overbearing but still present. A triumphant short jingle plays when you win. Other than that, the game doesn’t go overboard with its sound effects.

Victorious Highlights

Symbols

The game is divided into the usual split between high-paying and low-paying symbols, with the high-paying symbols being original art and the low-paying symbols being the usual cards. I don’t have any complaints about the original art, but the card symbols are rather bland.

From highest to lowest, they are:

The symbols aren’t really animated, although they do stand out when they’re part of a payline. This makes it easy to see what kind of wins you’ve achieved. I would have liked some more movement in the slot, but considering its age, they’ve kept it looking relevant.

Features

Victorious has only a few features that change the base gameplay and only in rudimentary ways. If you’re someone who has played slots before, you’ll have seen these types of features before.

These basic features are popular for a reason: they work very well together. Wilds are always a welcome addition to any slot, while the free spins offer players an opportunity to increase their winnings. Often, this mode is where a player achieves the big win.

With the game’s high volatility, wins are relatively rare, but on the other hand, the Free Spins mode seems to trigger quite regularly. Even though it requires 3 Scatter symbols on consecutive reels to count, it happens often, and with a minimum of 15 free spins all with a 3x multiplier, it sometimes really adds up. It’s even possible to win additional free spins during this mode.

Unfortunately, the game’s appearance doesn’t change much when the free spins mode starts. It does have a short intro cinematic, which I liked, but the background seems to be only slightly zoomed in on the original background.

Conclusion

Victorious takes an original concept and molds it into the classic slot format. It does so effectively, bringing no surprises but keeping things quick and easy. The slot is filled with attractive art and supported by a capable, low-key soundtrack.

Players have the option to choose a bet between $0.25 and $125 per spin, which provides some flexibility in deciding how much they want to play the slot’s high volatility. A max win of 1,500 times your bet may seem rather low compared to other slots with similar volatility.

I remember playing this game years ago and being especially pleased with the chosen theme. I think more slots should use classical events as inspiration for their games. Too many game providers stick to themes like Vikings and Ancient Egypt, while there is so much more to explore.

That said, Victorious only scratches the surface with some symbols and the background. Perhaps a special bonus game could have better conveyed the sense of being part of a Roman Legion spreading across Europe.

If you’re looking for a slot that stays close to the classic experience but has all the comforts and popular features a modern slot should have, Victorious is for you. It is a solid game with nice graphics, but it avoids making things too complicated.
