The fans of the franchise will love the NetEnt's release for its features including the icons portrayed as the movie characters. They are responsible for awarding high-value payouts while the lower ends of the paytable are made up of playing card symbols designed to resonate with the game's theme. The iconic window in the room where Caesar grew up stands for Wild on both play areas while Caesar himself helps you trigger the free spins features.
Each of the play areas features 5 reels and 20 paylines. You will have a double chance of winning at a cost of one bet which can be easily set by choosing up to 10 coins per line and a coin size ranging between $0.01 and $1. Your total stake can be anywhere between $0.20 and $200, so pick the value that suits your budget best and hit the Spin button.

The Stacked Wild feature is triggered when a stack of Wilds cover the leftmost reel on the Rise play area and it duplicates Wilds to the Dawn reel set. Look out for the Rise and Dawn Bonus symbol to unlock the Rise and Dawn Bonus features during which human and ape symbols earn you a cash prize and transform into a randomly chosen symbol respectively. The randomly triggered Dual feature grants re-spins with sticky symbols boosting your chances of winning big.
The game also benefits from even 3 free spins feature. The Rise Free Spins awards 10 free games with Wilds collected throughout it and randomly placed on the grid on the last free spin. The Dawn Free Spins feature played on the corresponding play area grants 15 free spins with a possibility of winning 3 extra free spins, up to 5x multipliers and human symbols going Wild.
