Expert opinion

Perhaps, everyone knows a sad story of the ancient Roman city, Pompeii, buried under enormous layers of volcanic ash after the eruption of Vesuvius. Anyway, even the most indifferent to art and history have seen “The last day of Pompeii” by Carl Brulov, which is hard to forget.

Nowadays, the ruins of a once-great city is an open space museum, which is on the list of UNESCO world heritage.

Meanwhile, Aristocrat has released a free online slot machine – the Pompeii, inspired by the notorious event. Find out more in the following review at Casinoz.

How to Play pokie

Pompeii is a video slot that features 5 reels and 243 winning ways across a simple 5x3 matrix. There are no active lines. Hit at least 2 same symbols at the adjacent reels and land a winning combination. One of the symbols has to drop on the leftmost reel.

Payoffs depend on the current bet and multiplier. You can pocket up to x1000 your spin bet. Please read about exceptions below.

You can bet 25, 50, 75, 100, or 125 coins per spin. The coin value varies in range from 2 cents to 1 dollar. This turns Pompeii into a game with a maximum bet of 125 dollars per spin.

The video slot offers the following options:

A gamble feature is not provided so that all wins go to the player's balance at the end of each spin.

You will see a Pompeiian street on the screen. The volcano in the background is about to erupt. It will destroy the ancient city a few moments later.

The design looks a little outdated, but that's okay, considering the slot was released many years ago.

Symbols, Wild, Scatter

You will land swords, helmets, chariots, and other objects related to Ancient Rome on the Pompeii video slot's reels. J, Q, K, A faces, along with 10 and 9, are also imaged on the reels.

Pompeii features 2 special symbols: Wild (erupting Vesuvius) and Bonus (a golden coin).

  • Wild lands only on the second and the fourth reels and substitutes basic symbols when necessary.
  • Bonus lands combinations by the general rules. Hit 3 of them anywhere on the screen and trigger free spins.
