Gladiators by Maygay: the television show on a fruit-machine board

Maygay's Gladiators takes the television show's big, colourful presentation and squeezes it onto a fruit-machine cabinet. Blue artwork surrounds a winding feature trail, with the Gladiators name above a circular display in the middle of the top glass.

The three reels occupy the lower half of the machine. Above them, the feature positions run around the edge of the board, drawing your eye towards the centre. A separate panel of symbols sits beside the reels, so there is more to watch than the win line alone.

It is the arrangement of that upper board that makes the cabinet recognisable. The trail bends across the glass rather than climbing in a straight line, and the circular centre gives the design something of an arena feel. The television branding supplies the setting; the reels and feature board supply the game.

A £6-jackpot version is documented in M1Adness's emulator demonstration linked below. The small archive photograph here does not make every rule or feature label legible, so it would be misleading to attach a detailed list of feature rules to this particular cabinet without a clearer source.
