The main feature is the combination of Megaways and respins. When a winning combination appears, the winning symbols do not disappear as they would in classic cascades. Instead, they stay held for at least one respin. This creates chains of repeat spins and can produce several payouts within one game event.
The Scatter is Apollo's golden lyre. In the base game, 2 or more lyres can trigger respins that improve the chance of collecting enough Scatters to enter Free Spins. Three Scatter symbols are required to trigger the bonus, awarding 10 free spins.
The mechanic becomes much stronger during Free Spins. Every respin increases the progressive multiplier, and the multiplier has no hard cap. This bonus mode reveals the main potential of Apollo Pays Megaways because long respin chains can steadily build the final payout.
Bonus Buy may be available with some operators. It provides direct access to Free Spins when the feature is 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, ancient jewellery, gems, mythological details and card values. The slot fits the categories of Greece, mythology, gods, Megaways and video slots.
Big Time Gaming designed the game as something different from a standard cascading Megaways slot by combining Megaways with 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 increase during the bonus.
