FluxPlays verdict
Our verdict
Only if you like long, low-key sessions: Hercules and Pegasus pays small line wins often and saves its interest for free spins that last until a hero lands on reel 5 for the fifth time. The drawback is the ceiling, which the game never states, and a paytable with few large line pays. Our one natural round showed how long these rounds can stretch.
Who it suits
Play this if…
- Short-session players: a flat paytable and the Low label keep small line wins coming
- Bonus chasers who like long rounds: free spins only end on the fifth landing of their hero
- Learners: one trigger, three rounds, so the demo shows clearly how reel 5 picks the version
Skip this if…
- Max-win hunters: the game publishes no top win, and five WILDs is its best line
- Bonus buyers: none of the three rounds can be bought
- Players who like real decisions: the scroll pick is blind, so it is luck rather than a choice

Hercules and Pegasus: Full Review
The bonus symbol on reel 5 decides which round you get in Hercules and Pegasus: Hercules starts free spins that keep adding WILDs, Pegasus starts free spins with a climbing multiplier, and both together start a round with the two at once. Pragmatic Play released this Low volatility 20-line game in November 2019, and four random scroll picks fill the base game between rounds. It suits players who want frequent small wins and a bonus with no fixed length.

How Hercules and Pegasus works
Every win runs along one of 20 fixed lines from the leftmost reel, with the highest win per line. The WILD shows the two heroes together, lands on all reels and replaces any symbol but the three BONUS symbols. It is also the top payer, just ahead of the game logo, and both of them pay for two of a kind.
| Symbol | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| WILD | $2.00 | $10.00 | $25.00 |
| Hercules and Pegasus logo | $2.00 | $10.00 | $20.00 |
| Temple | $2.00 | $7.00 | $15.00 |
| Lyre, vase | $1.00 | $5.00 | $10.00 |
| A, K | $0.40 | $1.00 | $5.00 |
| Q, J, 10 | $0.20 | $0.50 | $2.50 |
Below the temple, three of a kind returns the bet or less, so most base wins are small by design. The game's character comes from what sits on top of the lines:
- On any base spin, Pick a Scroll can appear and add one of four random features.
- One of those scrolls, Bonus, guarantees the symbols for a free spins round.
- Otherwise free spins need a BONUS coin on reels 1 and 3 plus Hercules, Pegasus or both on reel 5.
- The reel 5 symbol then decides the version of the round and how long it lasts.
Free spins are what this game is built around, and the combined round is the one to hope for. The WILD and Zeus scrolls are side dishes that boost a single spin.
The 5x3 reels before our first spin, credit $100,000.00 and bet $1.00. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
How the Pick a Scroll features work
Pick a Scroll offers three closed scrolls on a random base spin, and the feature behind the one you pick is random too, so the choice is blind.
| Scroll | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hercules Wilds | WILDs land in random positions, and after the spin there is a chance of a respin with more random WILDs |
| Pegasus Wilds | WILDs land in random positions, with a chance that the spin's win is doubled |
| Bolts of Zeus | Stacked mystery symbols join the reel strips and all turn into one random symbol at the end of the spin |
| Bonus | Guarantees the BONUS symbols for one of the free spins rounds |
In practice three of the four scrolls improve a single spin, while the fourth skips straight to the bonus.

Hercules and Pegasus free spins: how they trigger
A BONUS coin on reels 1 and 3, together with a Hercules or Pegasus BONUS on reel 5, starts free spins. Both heroes on reel 5 at the same time start the combined round. No version has a spin count: each runs until its reel 5 symbol has landed for the fifth time, and only one of them can land on any spin.
| Round | What each reel 5 landing does | When it ends |
|---|---|---|
| Hercules Free Spins | Adds more Hercules WILDs to the reel strips | The fifth Hercules |
| Pegasus Free Spins | Raises the multiplier on all remaining spins by one step, up to 5x | The fifth Pegasus |
| Hercules and Pegasus Free Spins | Does both | The fifth landing of either |
Special reels are in play in all three. By the rules, after the fourth Pegasus a three-temple line pays $2.00 times 5, so $10.00, until the fifth one ends the round. In Hercules Free Spins a ladder at the side tracks the extra WILDs, climbing from Start through WILDS ADDED 10, 15, 25 and 50 to Collect.

RTP, volatility and max win
The RTP is 96.5%, the only figure in the rules, and there is no buy or ante bet to change it. The rules page and the intro screen label the game Low volatility, while some listings call it High. We use the game's own label.
The rules print no max win, and the game data in the demo carries no top win either. Listings quote one, but nothing in the game confirms it, so this page leaves the figure out.

natural trigger in the session
Played on Pragmatic Play's public USD demo on 2 November 2026 with play money, from a $100,000 balance. The demo opened at $2.00 and was lowered to a $1.00 total bet (5 coins per line x $0.01 coin value x 20 lines). The game has no ante bet and no feature buy. A small script in the page pressed the spin button for each spin (autoplay off); the one Pick a Scroll choice was made by hand. Closing balance $99,948.80 on the server and on screen.
The base game did what its paytable promises: small line wins on 27 spins, about half of them worth 20 cents. The best plain spin was spin 55, with two lines of five symbols at $5.00 each.
Spin 49 brought the one natural bonus, when a BONUS coin on reels 1 and 3 met Hercules on reel 5. Our capture caught the ladder at WILDS ADDED 25 with $18.80 won. The fifth Hercules closed the round after 21 spins at $20.00.

Pick a Scroll came up once, on spin 44. Our blind pick was Bolts of Zeus, and that spin paid $0.30.

The Pegasus round, the combined round, the multiplier and the other three scrolls did not turn up, so everything said about them here comes from the rules. A session this short describes how the game behaves and says nothing about what it returns.
Is Hercules and Pegasus worth playing?
One thing makes Hercules and Pegasus worth a look: free spins with no spin count, where reel 5 picks the version and every landing moves the round toward its end. That suits short-session players far better than max-win hunters. The flat paytable and the Low label keep the balance moving slowly, and free spins with no spin count give the bonus some suspense. Against that, the game names no ceiling and the scrolls only touch single spins.
Pick Release the Kraken if you want the same Low volatility, 20 lines and random wild features with a published cap. Pick Hercules and Pegasus if you prefer three different free spins rounds, each with its own rule, decided by reel 5.
In the demo, spin until the first Pick a Scroll appears. The Bonus scroll is the base game's shortcut to free spins, and the other three show what a single boosted spin looks like.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you trigger free spins in Hercules and Pegasus?+
Land a BONUS coin on reels 1 and 3 together with a Hercules or Pegasus BONUS on reel 5. Both heroes on reel 5 at once start the combined round. The Bonus scroll from Pick a Scroll also guarantees the symbols for one of the rounds. There is no feature buy, so the base game is the only way in.
What is the difference between the Hercules and Pegasus free spins?+
Hercules adds more Hercules WILDs to the reel strips each time it lands on reel 5. Pegasus instead raises the multiplier on every remaining spin by one step, up to its maximum. The combined round does both at once and ends when either hero lands for the fifth time.
What is the max win in Hercules and Pegasus?+
The game does not say. Neither the rules pages nor the game data in the demo state a top win, so we do not print one. Listings quote a figure, but nothing in the game backs it up. The best single line in the paytable is five WILDs.
Is Hercules and Pegasus low or high volatility?+
Low, by the label on the game's rules page and intro screen, although some listings say High. We use the game's label. In our session most paying base spins were small line wins of a fraction of the bet.
