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 a classic cascade. Instead, they remain on the grid for at least one respin. This creates chains of repeat spins and can produce several payouts within a single game event.
The Scatter is Apollo's golden lyre. In the base game, landing 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 start 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 fixed upper limit. This is where the main potential of Apollo Pays Megaways is found, as long respin chains can steadily increase the final payout.
Bonus Buy may be available from some operators. This feature allows players to purchase direct entry to Free Spins when enabled in the relevant version.
Theme and style
Apollo Pays Megaways uses an ancient Greek mythology theme. The reels feature Apollo, a golden lyre, symbols of Olympus, ancient jewellery, gems, mythological details and card values. The slot falls into the following categories: Greece, mythology, gods, Megaways and video slots.
Big Time Gaming designed the game as something other than a standard Megaways slot with cascades, combining Megaways with a Hold and Win mechanic. There are no fixed paylines; instead, the game offers a dynamic number of ways, respins, Free Spins and a progressive multiplier that can rise during the bonus.
