Gallo Bonus Slot
Classic slot games might end up looking like one another quite a lot, which is why developers are constantly looking for some new ideas to bring some originality to the mix.
Gallo Bonus is a video slot game created by iSoftBet that blends the classic arcade gameplay elements with a unique Roman Empire theme. The game will take you back thousands of years in time, at the height of the empire and will put you in the shoes of a Roman general looking to conquer the last barbarians left on the continent.
Think strategically and read our full review of Gallo Bonus to get all the advice you need to win big on the reels of the game.
Not so Roman after all
Gallo Bonus was designed to look like an actual slot machine. The game actual sticks to very simple graphics and does not really add a lot of details, besides what it strictly necessary to play the game.
The reels are set against a uniform green background, with the paytable on the side and big, realistic command buttons at the bottom. Apart from some details on the reel symbols themselves, there is nothing that really links the game with Ancient Rome at all.
Gallo Bonus is a bit of a let down in terms of graphics, given that what could have been an epic game ends up looking simplistic and flat. Let’s see if the gameplay adds something extra to the game in our next section.
Good-Old Slot Machine Buttons
Gallo Bonus behaves much like any other retro slot game, or like an actual slot machine for that matter. Start from the left side of the command bar to begin customising all your bet settings.
The game is played on 3 reels with a unique payline in the middle. Finding symbol combinations on that payline is the key to trigger cash prizes during the game. Use the arrows to select the coin value and bet either 1, 2 or 3 coins on your next turn. Spin the reels afterwards and the rest will be up to luck only.
The cash payouts that you can win in Gallo Bonus come from the combinations that appear on the screen and the size of your current wager. The more money you risk, the more you can hope to win in return. Use the bet max button if you are feeling lucky and willing to just go all-in on your next spin. Gallo Bonus also features an autospin mode, which you can activate at any time to place the same bet on several spins in a row.
Gradually Increasing Rewards
The paytable of Gallo Bonus is on permanent display on top of the reels. There, you will find all the available symbol combinations and their cash value, according to your current settings.
The 3 different bar signs are the most common symbols of the game. Instead of their classic look, they appear with a different character: either a Roman soldier of a Gaul. You can win from 2 to 30 coins with these combinations, it all depends on your wager.
The rest of the menu contains hams, wine barrels and a Roman general, with a top reward of 250 coins. While a decent prize, there are more ways to win big in Gallo Bonus.
Go all in for Some Extra Wins
Gallo Bonus features a few extra bonus symbols that can come particularly handy for players looking to win some extra credits — that is to say, for everyone playing the game.
The wild symbol is a slot game classic, ready to replace any of the basic symbol anywhere it lands. This can give you an extra chance to score a prize. Keep an eye out for them at all times, as wild combinations are also the most valuable of the game: up to 2,500 coins are at stake with them.
The fight symbol is another special icon. One of them combined with two others pays 3 times your bet value, while two fights with another icon pays 9 times your wager. A combination of three fights awards up to 500 coins.
Not Quite as Satisfying as Promised
Gallo Bonus is based on a rather original theme but does not really deliver in terms of graphic atmosphere. Sticking to very basic elements, the game does not really give players an engaging atmosphere.
In terms of gameplay alone, Gallo Bonus follows classic slot machine rules and adds some bonus symbols to the mix. The stakes can get high if you are willing to play big, but overall Gallo Bonus fails to impress.
