Augustus Bonus Features

Central to the Augusts slot are two bonus features, one of which is powered by the coin collection mechanism. The other one includes a pick bonus game where a tough choice awaits right before the free spins game triggers. One element that these two bonus rounds have in common is stacked wilds that unfold down the reels increasing your win potential.

Wilds

Taking the form of a pennant emblazoned diagonally with the word ‘Wild’, regular wilds substitute for all regular symbols except for scatters. They appear as regular 1×1 symbols throughout the play, but can also unfurl into stacked wilds during the bonus rounds.

Scatters

Embodied as an all-seeing eagle or Aquila, the most famous of all ancient Roman legion standards, the scatter symbol lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 only. In Agustus, it pays 2x times your stake and ordinarily activates the free spins round.

Wild Reels

Wilds Reels is an essential feature in the Augustus slot for its power to distribute stacked wilds across the reels. To launch this pick bonus game, you’ll need to fill coin meters situated atop the reels. Each reel has two coin spaces which, once filled with golden coins, will have stacked wilds draping across the respective reels boosting your payouts for 2 successive spins.

Free Spins

Triggered with 3 eagle scatters, the free spins round presents 3 options containing 2, 8 and 25 free spins, each with a different number of wild reels unfolding during the chosen round. The 2 spins option awards 3 wild reels, 8 free spins come with 2 wild reels, and 25 have only 1 wild reel in action. It’s worth noting that wild reels can be unpredictable as they’re not set in one location but appear randomly in any position during the bonus round.

Augustus Jackpot

Leaving out the jackpot or any substantial payouts in this slot feels like an insult to this victorious Roman Emperor. The 1,000x your stake max potential is not nearly enough to match up to his glorious personality.

RTP and Volatility

Fortunately, the key stats suit the slot perfectly. The RTP of 96.14% and medium volatility allows for some relaxed gameplay with a few decent wins added to your play balance.
