The Pompeii Megareels Megaways slot gives you 6 reels with up to 7 symbols high, giving you changing ways to win, with Tumbling Reels, Scatters, Free Spins and unique Multipliers in the bonus.
As the name implies, you get up to 117,649 ways to win, as with so many Megaways, but the big difference here is in the Megareels. Whenever you get a tumble win and the winning symbols explode, each reel with a winning symbol may expand, giving you more symbols to explode and more ways to win.
This is a neat feature but not the only new addition to the genre. During the free spin bonus, every symbol win give you a multiplier. 10 symbols wins, for example, give you an instant 10x multiplier on all win.
It’s the main reason we’ve given this Pompeii Megareels Megaways review 5 stars – we thought we’d open another basic megaways and were pleasantly surprised. And not just because of the maximum win potential of 10,000x your bet or the 96% RTP.
In the background, you have the volcano threatening to explode and ruin your day. Meanwhile, your high-paying symbols are fairly standard Roman-themed imagery: a Caesar, armour, carriage, shield, coin, and finally, ace to 10.
It’s the scatter in the shape of a fireball and the wild volcano that will change your life. You want this Pompeii Megareels Megaways slot to explode and hit the free spins.
Because for all the fun of the megareels in the base game, it’s the multipliers in the free spins where you’ll hit anything close to 10,000x your bet.
The most we got was around 300x our bet, and we were satisfied. We didn’t even have to buy the bonus – which you need to do if you want to get the top win.
Don’t think that because this Pompeii Megareels Megaways mobile slot doesn’t have as high a win as Judgement Day Megaways, but in many ways, this is a more accessible slot. You can play even as an intermediate beginner without feeling like your budget will be drained in 10 spins.
The only thing to be careful of is that the buy bonus can cost you up to 300x your bet – and that’s because you can buy the Pompeii Megareels Megaways free spins where every multiplier is worth 3x as normal.
It’s a big gamble. And it’s a fool hardy one. The odds are not in your favour. It is better to play the game you are offered.
However, if you have the cash to burn, the option to burn it straight into the volcano is right there for you – both literally and metaphorically.

Megaways and Tumble Feature: You get wins left to right, with reels 1 to 6 having anything from 2 to 7 symbols on any given spins, giving you up to 117,649 ways to win. Whenever you win, those winning symbols explode, and more symbols come tumbling down. This continues until no more wins can be found.
Megareels and Tumble Feature: After a tumble win, the number of symbols on a reel can increase to a randomly higher number. This happens to all reels with at least one winning symbol.
Scatters and Free Spins: Hit 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols to trigger 15, 20, or 25 free spins respectively. During each round, each win is multiplied by a number equal to the number of symbols that exploded in the current tumble.
Buy Free Spins: At any point you can click on the buy free spins bonus button and buy entry into the bonus round.
There is something exciting about not being limited by the number of ways to get multipliers (such as in Vaultcracker Megaways); instead, you get multipliers by the number of exploded symbols.
It means that the top win isn't as high as some of the other Megaways slots, but you feel like you can get the 10,000x your bet top win a little easier.
The slot theme makes this feel like you are only one spin away from getting burned, but considering the high volatility, an easy win feel makes this exciting.
The free spins often come enough that you don't have to buy them, but as a buy-free spin slot, that's always an option for those with little patience.
This is a fantastic video slot to find at any good Pragmatic Play casinos.
