The central feature is the combination of Megaways and respins. When a winning combination appears, the winning symbols do not disappear as they would in a standard cascade. 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 is the Scatter symbol. 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 start the bonus, awarding 10 free spins.
The mechanic becomes much stronger during Free Spins. Every respin increases a progressive multiplier, and the multiplier has no fixed upper limit. The bonus round therefore contains the main potential of Apollo Pays Megaways, as long respin sequences can gradually increase the final payout.
Bonus Buy may be available at selected operators. Where enabled, it provides direct access to Free Spins.
Theme and style
Apollo Pays Megaways uses an Ancient Greek mythology theme. The reels feature Apollo, a golden lyre, symbols of Olympus, classical jewellery, gems, mythological details and card values. The slot belongs to the categories of Greece, mythology, gods, Megaways and video slots.
Big Time Gaming designed the game as something other than a standard cascading Megaways slot. It combines dynamic winning ways with Hold and Win mechanics, respins, Free Spins and a progressive multiplier rather than fixed paylines.
