Привіт, напишу коротко, але по суті: Gladiators я відкрив після поради випадкового юзера, який не лизав дупу казино, а просто згадав https://mriya.social/game/gladiators-gam.... у середині свого поста. Мене привабила тема і чітка механіка. Грається рівно, без різких сюрпризів, і дає нормальний азарт. У результаті я лишився задоволений і не відчув, що мене намагаються надурити.
