Theme – discover the hidden treasures of Mount Olympus

With a Greek mythology theme, the Apollo Pays Megaways slot is set over Mount Olympus which is the mythical home of ancient Greek God Apollo. You’ll see a beautiful castle set amongst magical lagoons and waterfalls – it has a very epic feel to it visually.

With an equally grand soundtrack, symbols on the reels include A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals. You will also see red, blue, green and purple gemstones. The purple gemstone is the highest paying symbol giving you 0.2, 0.4, 0.75, 1.5 or 5 x your total stake for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

Greek God Apollo is the wild symbol and appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 (not reels 1 or 6). As you’d expect, Apollo substitutes for all symbols bar the golden lyre scatter. Find a table below with payouts for all symbols:

Symbol	Payouts/Info

Apollo Pays Megaways Bonus Features

Apollo Pays Megaways benefits from 3 bonus features. Reactions are replaced with respins which also apply in the free spins. With an increasing win multiplier, you can exchange wins for access to the free spins.

Respins feature

The Respins feature is triggered every time a win lands that can improve the win. 1 respin is then awarded. If 2 or more symbols improve the win, another respin is won. Respins continue until zero or 1 symbol improves the win.

Importantly, scatter symbols are held in place giving you another chance of activating the free spins. Furthermore, a respin can also add an extra symbol any reel to increase your winning chances. This won’t apply to reels which contain 7 symbols.

Free Spins feature

The all-important Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 or more golden lyre scatters anywhere on the reels. With 10 free spins awarded, you will begin with an unlimited win multiplier of 1x.

Every winning combination triggers the Respins feature which also increases the multiplier by 1 each time. There’s no limit to how high the win multiplier can go. On top of this, 3+ scatters will give you 4 more free spins. 4, 5 or 6 scatters will give you 6, 8 or 10 additional free spins respectively. Again with no limits.

Win Exchange feature

In Apollo Pays Megaways, you can exchange your wins to enter the Free Spins feature. When you land a win of 100 x stake or higher, you can exchange it for 10 free spins. This is called the Win Exchange feature which was also used in BTG’s Gold Megaways slot.

If you win between 25 and 100 x stake, you can exchange the whole win for a chance to win 10 free spins. You spin a red and green segmented wheel. Land on green to gain entry to the free spins. Land on red and you’ll revert back to the base game.

Apollo Pays Megaways Summary – max win potential it’s saving grace

The Apollo Pays Megaways slot is, according to Big Time Gaming, the first hold and win game with an unlimited multiplier. This applies in the Free Spins feature.

However, the standard Unlimited Win Multiplier feature found in most Megaways slots is similar. The difference being that the Respins feature can improve your win each time. The Win Exchange element is nothing new but a nice touch if land a 100 x stake plus win and want to swap it for a Free Spins feature trigger.

All in all, its very hard to differentiate Megaways slot games these days (with so many being available). A high RTP rate or huge max win payout potential is the key to stand out, in my opinion. Apollo Pays Megaways offers 116,030 x stake max wins per free spin. This makes the game the highest paying Megaways slot at time of writing.

Overall, Apollo Pays Megaways is slightly different due to the hold and win element. If you’re looking for a more conventional Megaways game, Pirate Pays Megaways has all the usual bonus features and comes with 104,400 x stake max wins per spin.
