Introduction
During the height of the Roman Empire, there was no place better to be than the Colosseum. It brought out both the best and worst of humanity as the crowds cheered the gladiators who entertained them with life and death battles, often against wild beasts.
The blockbuster hit movie Gladiator told the tale of a general who became a slave who became a Gladiator and then won the hearts of Rome. Now Maximus is set to win the hearts of UK casino players when you play the online slots at Slots Heaven UK.
