Game features

• Megaways

• Free Spins
• Respins
• Scatter symbols
• Progressive Multiplier
• Retriggers
• Win multipliers
• Bonus Buy

The main feature is the combination of Megaways and respins. When a winning combination lands, the winning symbols do not disappear as they would in classic cascades; instead, they remain held for at least one respin. This creates chains of repeat spins and can produce several payouts within one game event.

Apollo’s golden lyre acts as the Scatter. In the base game, 2 or more lyres may trigger respins that improve the chance of collecting enough Scatters to enter Free Spins. Three Scatter symbols trigger the bonus and award 10 free spins.

The mechanic becomes much stronger during Free Spins. Every respin increases the progressive multiplier, which has no fixed cap. The bonus reveals the main potential of Apollo Pays Megaways because long respin chains can gradually build the final payout.

Bonus Buy may be available from selected operators. It allows direct purchase of entry to Free Spins when enabled in the specific game version.

Theme and style

Apollo Pays Megaways uses an Ancient Greek mythological theme. The reels feature Apollo, a golden lyre, symbols of Olympus, classical jewellery, gems, mythological details and card values. The pokie fits the Greece, mythology, gods, Megaways and video pokie categories.

Big Time Gaming did not design the game as a standard Megaways pokie with cascades, but as a rarer combination of Megaways and Hold and Win mechanics. There are no standard fixed paylines; instead, the game offers a dynamic number of ways, respins, Free Spins and a progressive multiplier that can grow during the bonus.

Popularity among players

Apollo Pays Megaways may appeal to players who enjoy high-volatility Big Time Gaming pokies, Greek mythology and bonuses with a very large maximum potential. Wins up to 116030x make it one of the provider’s most ambitious titles, although high volatility means strong results may be rare.

The pokie may attract players from the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and New Zealand. It particularly suits anyone seeking a video pokie with Megaways, Free Spins, respins, a progressive multiplier and an Olympus atmosphere.
