Pompeii Megareels Megaways is a 6-reel slot from Pragmatic Play set against the tragic backdrop of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii being destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The reels are presented on a fiery, lava-filled landscape with Vesuvius visible in the background. Symbols on the reels include various Roman-themed icons like Caesar, armor, chariots, shields, and coins, along with standard royals (A, K, Q, J, 10).
The slot utilizes the Megaways mechanic, providing up to 117,649 ways to win on each spin. Wins are formed by landing 3+ matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. The Volcano Wild appears on reels 2-6 and substitutes for all regular pay symbols to help form wins. The Lava Stone Scatter is key to triggering the main bonus feature.
After any win, the Tumble feature is activated, removing winning symbols and replacing them with new ones for additional win potential. If 4 or more Scatters land in a single spin sequence, the Free Spins bonus is triggered. Here, players are awarded 15 free spins for 4 Scatters, 20 for 5, or 25 for 6. During the bonus, a multiplier equal to the number of winning symbols removed is applied to any wins. This multiplier does not carry over between spins.
Players outside the UK can take advantage of two Bonus Buy options. For 100x the stake, the regular Free Spins bonus is triggered with 3-5 Scatters. An enhanced version is available for 300x the stake, where wins are multiplied by 2x the number of removed symbols. The game has high volatility (5/5) and an RTP of 96% that can be adjusted by operators to 95.04% or 94.07%. The max win potential is an impressive 10,000x the stake.
