About The Developer And Other Slot Games By The Developer

Luke Alvarez founded Inspired Gaming Group in 2001. Today, it is one of the most famous online free bingo sites and gambling companies in the UK. When Alvarez started the company, he mainly focused on mobile gaming. Inspired Gaming grew and began supplying video lottery terminals and virtual sports games. This was until the firm was acquired by Vitruvian Partners. This private equity firm helped Inspired Gaming Group tap into international markets and also widen their reach in the UK. One of those international markets they helped touch was the Chinese gambling market specifically Macau- a gambling hotspot that draws in millions of gambling tourists each year.

It's been a struggle though because many forms of online gambling are still banned outside Macau. However, in 2015 Inspired Gaming was able to close a deal with the Chinese government which enabled them to offer virtual sports games like betting on horse races and football on the condition that these remain state-regulated. Some of their bingo games include:

2 Fat Cats: The Lost Ark
Leaders of the Free Spins World
Irish Fortune
Spirit of the Samurai

About The Game And Bonus Features

Maximus Payus is set inside an amphitheatre. The reels are plain purple, but the opening to the slot shows that the game is based somewhere around an amphitheatre. Symbols on the reels include card values A, J, K, Q, 10 and 9, a shield, a charioteer, Maximus himself, a helmet and the outside of an amphitheatre. The card symbols pay out the lowest values.

Wild symbol -The golden laurel acts as the wild symbol and can replace all the other symbols except the SPQR bonus symbol.
Free Spins -The free spins are activated when 3, 4 or 5 SPQR bonus symbols land on the reels awarding 8, 15 or 20 free spins. The wilds transform into 2x multipliers during the free spins feature. If 2, 3, 4 or 5 more SPQR symbols land, you will win an extra 5, 8, 15 or 20 spins added to your tally.
Reel Bonuses -The following mini-features are activated randomly during a base game spin:
- Big Win – an instant win of 20x your total bet is rewarded.
- Five Of A Kind – a 5 of a kind win is awarded
Fortune Bet -If you choose to increase your bet by 50%, you can click on the Fortune Bet button. In return your bonus symbols will double in height making it easier to trigger the free spins feature.

The Verdict

Maximus Payus doesn’t have any revolutionary breakout bonuses, its nature of simplicity is what gets you. The Fortune Bet option's promise of added free spins is fulfilled within a few spins. So don't be too quick to put this slot down before giving it a spin.
