- Based on the tragic events of Pompeii
- Free spins bonus offers multipliers based on tumbles
- A very simple Megaways slot that isn’t very exciting
When you release as many slots as Pragmatic Play do, it can understandably be quite hard to make each and every one of them new and innovative. That does show here with Pompeii Megareels Megaways slot I have to say, which doesn’t have much in the way of features. It’s based on the tragic event which lead to the loss of many lives and has preserved the city of Pompeii in stone. You have 6 reels to play on with up to 117,649 ways to win and you need to look for the following base symbols which are ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- 10 or Jack
- Queen or King
- Ace
- Coin
- Shield
- Chariot
- Armour
- Man

Pompeii Megareels Megaways Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. Shown as the great volcano itself, this symbol will substitute for all others in a winning combination apart from the scatter symbol. It appears only on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Tumbles. It’s a Megaways slot, so of course you’re going to have tumbles available to you. This means that after each spin, winning symbols are removed from the screen and new ones will fall in from above to replace any empty positions. If this creates more wins, the process repeats and will continue, all within the same spin, until there are no more wins.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols on the same spin, giving you 15, 20 or 25 free spins to play with respectively. During the bonus, every win you get is multiplier by a number that’s equal to the amount of symbols that explode in the current tumble.
Bonus Buy. In some regions, players will be able to buy the bonus outright for a set fee. You have two options here. One is to pay 100x your stake for the standard bonus where you get 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols and the respective free spins. The option is to pay 300x your stake to get the double multiplier bonus where, as you might have guessed, all wins are multiplied by double the number of exploded symbols in a tumble. You still get either 4, 5 or 6 free spins.
Conclusion
Pompeii Megareels Megaways slot from Pragmatic Play is certainly one of their simpler releases that we’ve seen for a little while. Initially, we were excited by the Megareels idea, but this doesn’t actually seem to be a real thing as this is a fairly standard set of Megaways reels so I think this name is just to draw players in. The base game only offers tumbles which isn’t really a feature in itself, but the main free spins bonus takes advantage of these tumbles but allowing them to contribute as multipliers. It’s a different ways of adding multipliers to the bonus which I will give them credit for, but really this is quite a simple game that doesn’t stand out much. It’s a shame that the double multiplier bonus buy option isn’t part of the main game as that could have spiced things up a bit.
A Rather Boring Slot With Nothing New
