Prizes that can be won in free and major games include up to 250 coins for Dimon Hounsou and Gladiator Trainer Proximo (Oliver Reed), while Seantor Gracchus (Derek Jacobi) can reward up to 350 coins. Lucmod, Commodus's sister (but hates him and helps Maximus) can win 1,000 gold coins, while Commodus (the brilliant Joaquin Phoenix) can win 5,000 gold coins.

Any bonus below $1,000 may also be gambled on the Double-Your-Money Gamble feature. All you have to do is choose whether the card is red or black. If you win, you will be advertised. If you are defeated, then the thumb is up - but this is the way the gladiator.
