Pragmatic Play · 2019
Hercules and Pegasus is a high volatility 5x3 video slot by Pragmatic Play, set in Ancient Greece. Take a look at its figures before the first spin.
Five reels of symbols from Ancient Greece spin on a 5x3 grid, and wins come from matching symbols on 20 fixed paylines. A line pays when its symbols match, and as few as two matching symbols can pay. Your total bet covers all 20 lines, so the coin value and coins per line you choose set the cost of each spin.
On any spin a Pick a Scroll offer may appear, and you choose one of three. HERCULES WILDS adds random wilds and a chance of an extra respin, while PEGASUS WILDS adds wilds and a chance to double the spin win. Free spins come in three forms, and each one ends when a symbol lands on reel 5 for the fifth time.

Learn the win lines
You will have walked through one full round, from bet to stop.
Before the reels move, you pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240. The total stake is coins per line, times coin value, times the 20 fixed paylines.
Matching symbols that land along one of the 20 fixed paylines form a win. A line can pay from as few as two symbols on the 5x3 grid.
A Pick a Scroll modifier can appear on any spin. You choose one of three scrolls: random wilds, a 2x chance on the spin win, or a guaranteed Bonus.
BONUS symbols on reels 1 and 3 with HERCULES on reel 5 start Hercules Free Spins. Spins are unlimited, each HERCULES landing adds WILD symbols, and the fifth landing ends it.
Before the first spin, decide the most you will spend in this session. When that amount is gone, close the game and step away.

Bonus guide
The most common worry, settled here: which symbol starts which free spins.
Pick a Scroll can appear on base-game spins. You pick 1 of 3 scrolls. HERCULES WILDS adds random wilds with a chance of an extra respin. PEGASUS WILDS adds random wilds with a chance of 2x the win. BOLTS OF ZEUS transforms stacked BONUS symbols. BONUS guarantees Free Spins.
Base-game spinsWilds or Free Spins
BONUS on reels 1 and 3 plus HERCULES on reel 5 starts the feature. Unlimited spins run on special reels. Each HERCULES landing on reel 5 adds more WILD symbols to the reel strips (WILDS ADDED 10/15/25/50). HERCULES landing for the 5th time ends it.
Two BONUS landingsExtra wilds
With BONUS on reels 1 and 3 and PEGASUS on reel 5, the feature starts. Spins are unlimited on special reels. Each PEGASUS on reel 5 raises the multiplier of all remaining spins by 1x, up to 5x (ALL WINS X2/X3/X4/X5). PEGASUS landing for the 5th time ends it.
Two BONUS symbolsUp to 5x
Landing BONUS on reels 1 and 3 with one HERCULES and one PEGASUS on reel 5 runs both mechanics. HERCULES landings add more WILD symbols and PEGASUS landings raise the multiplier up to 5x. Both share one count to 5, and either ends it on the 5th landing.

Two ways to play
Read this before your first spin, or before you decide to deposit money.
On the reels, the demo spins without any money and pays nothing; the real game needs a Bingo Casino account and you must be 18 or older.
Play for realA bonus round can land on the next spin or after many base game spins with no sign of it. How often it comes is not known in advance, and no figure on this page predicts it. The result of one session is random, so a session can run quiet or rich whatever the RTP is.
Every spin looks the same on the reels whichever RTP version is running, so the version has to be checked elsewhere. The game rules name the version in play, and the RTP figure in the table on this page describes what that version returns over a long run.
Symbols line up on the reels, yet the highest win is a ceiling and not a target. The maximum win of Hercules and Pegasus is reached very rarely, so judge a session on its own terms, not on that figure. Each spin stands apart from the one before, so a quiet run does not bring the ceiling closer.
Know your numbers
You will know how the free spins start, which bets apply and what the RTP means.
BONUS symbols land on reels 1 and 3, and a HERCULES or PEGASUS symbol on reel 5 starts one of the two Free Spins features. If one HERCULES and one PEGASUS land together on reel 5, the combined Hercules and Pegasus Free Spins start instead.
Reels in Hercules and Pegasus carry high volatility, so wins are uneven: larger payouts come less often than with lower-volatility games. Nobody can know in advance when a big win lands or how long a dry spell will last.
Hercules and Pegasus opens from the Bingo Casino game lobby. You can start with the lowest bet of A$0.20 or move up to A$240 before the first spin.
Bets run from A$0.20 to A$240 at Bingo Casino. Each bet is coins per line, times the coin value, times the 20 fixed paylines, so the total stake changes with every setting.
Wins in Hercules and Pegasus depend on the bet and the features that trigger. In Pegasus Free Spins, each PEGASUS on reel 5 lifts the multiplier of all remaining spins by 1x, up to 5x. The combined feature runs both mechanics at once.
The game has one RTP version, 96.50%. That figure is the long-run return on money staked, so a session can land above or below it.
