Play Pompeii Megareels Megaways Slot

The ancient city of Pompeii is no stranger to modern media, and Pragmatic Play decided it was time to capture the essence of that tragedy in Pompeii Megareels Megaways. Unlike other volcano-themed slots, this one pulls inspiration from actual history, using the infamous Mount Vesuvius as its backdrop. While the game steers away from retelling the disaster itself, the molten lava flowing in the background keeps things atmospheric. 

The game runs on a 6-reel layout with 2 to 7 symbols appearing per reel, depending on the spin. That can give players up to 117,649 ways to win when all rows are fully expanded. With bets starting at 0.20, it offers a range accessible to most players, though you won’t find any bonus buy feature in the UK version. Tumbling wins are active throughout the game, and wilds only appear on reels 2 through 6 to aid with forming combinations. 

This game uses the Megaways engine, giving it a twist to the ancient setting. Pragmatic Play’s approach combines the familiar cascading wins mechanic with a bonus system where multipliers reset every spin. If you’ve played the developer’s earlier releases, you’ll notice that while the visual flair here might not be groundbreaking, it’s still a solid entry in their portfolio. 

Pragmatic Play has been busy with numerous releases, including popular titles like Gates of Olympus and Chilli Heat. This Megaways instalment adds a different flavour to their collection, giving fans a new take on the volcano-themed genre.

The paytable features a range of symbols inspired by ancient Rome, along with familiar card values. The payouts for 3 to 6 matching symbols are as follows: 

The game features two key special symbols that shape much of the gameplay. The Volcano Wild appears on reels 2 through 6 and substitutes for any regular pay symbol, helping to complete winning combinations, though it does not carry its own payout.  

Meanwhile, the Lava Stone Scatter plays a crucial role in triggering the Free Spins round. Landing four or more scatters during a spin or tumble sequence activates the bonus feature, providing an entry point into the game’s more rewarding rounds. 

Tumble Wins 

The Tumble feature ensures that winning symbols are removed from the grid, with new ones cascading from above. This process repeats as long as new winning combinations form, potentially leading to extended win streaks in both the base game and the bonus round. 

Free Spins 

Four or more Lava Stone scatters trigger the Free Spins bonus. Players start with 15, 20, or 25 free spins, depending on the number of triggering scatters. The twist here is that the win multiplier resets on every spin based on how many symbols were removed from the grid during that spin’s tumble sequence. This can create wildly varying multipliers from spin to spin, adding an unpredictable element to the bonus round. 

With the Megaways mechanic being as popular as it is, it shouldn’t come as a shock that Pompeii Megareels Megaways isn't the only Megaways slot at BetVictor. Other popular Megaways releases available in the BetVictor slots offering include Primate King Megaways and Buffalo King Megaways.
