Six reels, 2 to 7 symbols per reel, and up to 117,649 ways to win make this Megaways slot set in Ancient Rome. A win needs at least 3 matching symbols. Tumble is always active, so winning symbols explode, the rest fall down, and empty positions refill from above. Reels can grow after a tumble, adding ways to win.
Four, five or six SCATTER symbols in the base game award 15, 20 or 25 Free Spins. During Free Spins, each tumble win is multiplied by the number of symbols that exploded in it, and special reels come into play. Free Spins cannot retrigger. Buy Free Spins at 100 times the total bet, or Double Multiplier Free Spins at 300 times.
Ready to spin
Newvegas Casino lays out each round in plain steps, so you know what happens before you start.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet and A$240 the highest. Choose yours before the first spin. The example bets on this page run from A$0.50 to A$10.
2 to 7 symbols sit on each reel, and at least 3 matching symbols make a win. The number of ways changes every spin, up to 117,649.
6 reels run Megaways, and Tumble stays on throughout. Winning symbols explode, the rest fall, and spots refill from above. Reels can randomly grow after a tumble.
15, 20 or 25 free spins start on 4, 5 or 6 Scatter symbols in the base game. Each tumble win is multiplied by the symbols exploded in it.
A$240 is the highest bet. Set your budget before the first spin, since the outcome is unknown in advance. If it stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline, 1800 858 858.
Extra spins
The first question is how many spins you get and what starts them.
15/20/25 spins are awarded by 4/5/6 SCATTER symbols in the base game. Special reels become active. Each tumble win is multiplied by the total count of symbols that explode in that tumble. The round cannot be retriggered.
Base game spins15/20/25 free spins
4/5/6 SCATTER symbols are guaranteed on the entry spin. Tumble wins are multiplied by 2x the count of symbols that explode in that tumble, double the standard Free Spins multiplier. The spin count and the no-retrigger rule match the Free Spins.

A common worry is not knowing how the bonus screens look before the first spin.

A$100 staked on this slot is the basis of each RTP figure: the share paid back on average over many rounds, not in one session. The version running here is shown in the game rules.

Pompeii Megareels Megaways™ trial
Useful when you want to learn the rules and features before you open an account.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing, so you can learn every feature first. The real game needs an account here and a legal age of 18+.
Play for real moneyUp to 117,649 ways can pay on a Pompeii Megareels Megaways™ spin, but the Free Spins feature comes at no fixed rate. Nobody can tell in advance how often four to six SCATTER symbols will land. One session may bring Free Spins early and another none at all. The RTP describes the long-run return, not the result of the session in front of you.
96.00, 96.02 and 96.06 percent are the three RTP versions of this slot, and the one running here is shown only in the game rules. Read the game rules before you start, since the version sets the long-run return.
x10,000 the bet is the highest multiple this slot can pay, which is A$2,400,000 at the A$240 maximum bet. That ceiling is reached very rarely, and no session can be planned around it. Reaching it depends on chance, so treat the figure as the top of the scale rather than an expected result.
Players must be 18+. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose before you open the game, and keep that amount separate from bills and savings.
Pick your stopping point before the first spin, and stick to it after a big win too, because a win can tempt longer play.
Set the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so a cap is in place before any round.
When the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, and do not wait for a bigger win to stop.

Know what to expect
This block settles the questions players ask first: payout, RTP, bets, volatility, free spins and demo.
10,000 times the bet is the top prize. At the A$10 example bet that comes to A$100,000, and at the highest bet of A$240 it reaches A$2,400,000. Because the prize scales with the stake, a smaller bet means a smaller top prize.
96.00 per cent, 96.02 per cent and 96.06 per cent are the three RTP versions. RTP describes the average return over a very long run, so it never predicts one session. The table shows what each version returns on A$100 staked.
A$0.20 marks the lowest bet and A$240 the highest. Examples on this page use A$0.50, A$2 and A$10 as stakes, and the bet you pick sets what every win is worth in cash.
Volatility is high, and the prize can reach 10,000 times the bet. High volatility means wins arrive less often but can be large. Nobody can know in advance when a large win will come.
4, 5 or 6 SCATTER symbols in the base game award 15, 20 or 25 free spins. Special reels are active during the round, and scatters do not add spins once it starts. Each tumble win is multiplied by the number of symbols that explode in that tumble.
A$0.20 is the smallest stake, so a first look at the modes and the tumble can be done at low cost. The paytable reads at A$0.50, and the modes above explain each round before any money moves.
