We’ve encountered numerous slots based on each period such as IGT’s Cleopatra slot machine (and she appears here too) based on Ancient Egypt and it’s not the first slot we’ve encountered with an Ancient Roman theme with WMS offering the Roman Chariots slot machine and the very popular Spartacus Gladiator of Rome slot machine too - with Julius Caesar present on these reels joining Cleopatra.
You’ll be at ease with the relaxing and tranquil sounds that play out, and while they aren’t Roman or Egyptian specifically, they are enjoyable as compared to standard sounds of some slots that are utterly unbearable. The design sees the background split in half with one side having the thick bricks that Egyptian Pyramids were constructed with and the other half consisting of an elegant Roman mosaic.

5 Reels, 40 Lines, and 96% RTP!
Despite the combination of themes, WMS have stuck to basics regarding the setup of Rom & Egypt as it is played across 5 reels and offers 40 paylines. The stake per line options can be adjusted from just 1p up to a maximum of £5 which means if you play with all paylines activated (which we recommend for greater chances of winning) you’ll be playing for a minimum of 40p up to a maximum of £200 per spin – just ensure you’re aware of slots bankroll management before thinking you have the riches of an Emperor or Pharaoh first though!
The Best of Both Worlds
As you’d expect from the mash-up of mythologies, the reels consist of symbols from both eras, and all twelve that you’ll encounter have been designed beautifully to provide an insight into life of both eras. It’s the two Wilds that are most iconic though with both Caesar and Cleopatra featuring and five of either on a payline see you enjoy a 12.5x your stake win – plus they are stacked but more on that below.
On the reels representing Ancient Egypt are the stunning Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, ornamental headset, Cleopatra’s staff, and a plum while a Coliseum, Roman Temple, wreath, sword and shield belonging to a Gladiator, and bunch of grapes represent Ancient Rome – no playing cards here, yippee!
Stacked Wilds Stack Up the Cash
As alluded to above, there are two Wild symbols in the Rome & Egypt slot machine – both Caesar and Cleopatra. If you’re not aware of stacked Wilds this sees larger symbols than usual that occupy more positions than usual – with the ultimate aim being to land the stacked Wild in full view covering the entire reel. Aside from big wins with both Caesar and Cleopatra there are winnings up for grabs with a mixture of them appear which greatly boosts your chances of winning!
Up to 50 Initial Free Spins
Free spins are a stalwart fixture in WMS online slot machines, but Rome & Egypt offers even more value than usual – with up to 50 initial free spins on offer. Firstly, you’ll need to land stacked Wilds (Caesar and Cleopatra) on the reels and the number of these which appear will determine your free spins count to, as follows.
2 Wild Symbols: 5 free spins
3 Wild Symbols: 10 free spins
4 Wild Symbols: 20 free spins
5 Wild Symbols: 50 free spins
You’ll find yourself triggering 5 and 10 free spins quite regularly, however the 50 free spins on offer with 5 Wild symbols is much rarer – but obviously you are handsomely rewarded when you land the needed combination of symbols. As if all those spins weren’t enough you can actually retrigger more, plus all wins achieved from your free spins are doubled – you’ll need a Pyramid of your own for all that cash!

Worthwhile Combination or Best Separated?
We’ve seen the likes of Roman Chariots slot machine which is based on Ancient Rome and the Pharaoh's Dream slot machine from Bally based on Ancient Egypt but it’s the first time we have saw the two historical eras merged into one slot – but what a stunning and amazing combination!
Not only have WMS nailed the whole design from background to symbols on the reels, the inclusion of stacked Wilds offers ample winning opportunities throughout, plus the free spins mode offers incredible rewards – with a maximum of fifty initial free spins on offer, all of which can be retriggered and free spins winnings are always doubled!
There's little more frightening than watching a purchased bag of Sunchips get caught in a vending machine, and no greater joy than when three bags of Sunchips fall for the price of one.
We've all been there.
Roman Egypt Slot Machine Machines
While vending machines have made great technological strides, they essentially still operate with the same basic contraption. The earliest known version offered the most extraordinary of snacks: water, well holy water, to be exact. As Kerry Segrave, author of Vending Machines: A Social History, found, the first vending machine was invented by Heron of Alexandria in first-century Roman Egypt because worshipers were taking more than their fair share of holy water at temple. The machine didn't have a Coke logo on it, but it did accept coins, and when deposited they hit a pan and pushed against a lever that let the blessed stuff flow out. Once the coin fell off, however, the valve shut and you'd have to move along. It was innovative and clunky at the same time, paving the way for much-needed improvements.
Subsequent advances came in fits and starts: In 1822, English bookseller Richard Carlile created a newspaper vending machine that sold banned works like Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason (for which he was arrested). In 1883, Percival Everitt built a postcard version widely featured in train stations around London. America finally joined the party in 1888 when Adams Gum Company vended Tutti-Frutti gum. The planet's newest, boxiest salesperson was getting popular.
As vending machines began to proliferate over the next half century — selling everything from candy to stamps to bulk peanuts to hot and cold beverages — an unforeseen issue plagued manufacturers. Long used to buying things from other human beings, the public found it difficult taking these rectangular clerks seriously, and often tried to cheat them.

'Even at that early a point in vending machine history, the public had come to see the silent salesman as fair game to beat,' writes Segrave. The coin slots couldn't always distinguish between real coins and anything that was remotely shaped and weighted like a coin, and so chislers would insert metal, wood, and even ice slugs to trick the machines and abscond with the goods. But the coin-detecting technology soon improved, and laws followed suit banning the manufacture and use of such impostors.
After conquering many vending machine barriers — including offering multiple items, dollar bill slots, and the hardest of challenges: dispensing hot coffee — we reached the platonic ideal of the modern vending machine in the '80s and '90s. It's the one you picture in your head when hearing the words, the one down the dark hall in countless hotels that people that people look for before they find the fire exits.
Today vending machines comprise a $30-billion industry and are no longer simply mini-general stores dropping 100 Grand bars and rolls of Lifesavers. In China, pressing a vending machine button can procure a live crab; in Singapore, a luxury car; and throughout the U.S., Art-o-mats will get you an original work of art (as long as it fits in a vending machine). Manufacturers seem intent on offering everything you can get everywhere else; the dominant trend finds vending machines no longer content to just give you food, they want to cook for you, too.
Get some fries with your fries from Beyondte Electronics, a Chinese company that builds machines which flash-fry fries in hot oil at the touch of a button (sounds safe), and then drops them off with the dipping sauce of your choice. If you prefer pizza and don't have the patience for a 30-minute wait, Let's Pizza will automatically shape the dough onto a plate, spread the sauce with a spinny thing, deposit cheese and toppings, and then bake it in an infrared oven. Is it good? Who cares if it's good? It comes from a machine and people seem to be forgiving when the wait is 90 seconds.
'Humans have always had a strong preference for immediate versus delayed gratification. In fact, this is probably true for all vertebrates,' says Professor Bradley M. Appelhans of the Rush University Medical Center, who invented a device that makes you wait a whopping 25 seconds for junk food like chips and candy in vending machines, but dispenses healthier items instantly. 'However, only recently, have humans had the technology and resources to deliver immediate gratification so readily.'
His device ultimately created a five percent proportional change in healthy purchases, rooted in the familiar irritation that is waiting. 'Having to wait for something makes it less desirable at the point of decision. Knowing this in advance can affect one's choice,' Appelhans says. 'Additionally...the ability to change your mind during the delivery delay provides an additional opportunity to reflect on what you're about to eat.' Reflecting on what you're about to eat is anathema to much of the food scene, let alone vending machines.

No matter the novelty, it can never escape the shadow of the vending machine from which it was purchased, so the crab becomes a vending machine crab, the car a vending machine car, and the artwork a piece of vending machine art. It creates an amusing context in which people are either embarrassed to say where they bought the item, or really excited to let you know.

While the pandemic has slowed people's ability to impulse buy, and we're inadvertently finding more time to appreciate slow cooking, the culture of instant gratification — for good and ill — will persist through anything nature throws at us. Buying a quick treat from a robot box should always have a nostalgic place in the culinary world, somewhere in the corner of a hallway.
