Magic Treasures Hold and Win Pegasus: Ride the Winged Horse for Up to 2,500x Jackpot

IGT has tried to bring back the glory of ancient Greece in Magic Treasures Hold and Win Pegasus. With four jackpots reaching up to 2,500x my bet, combined with a 5x multiplier, I wanted to be part of such glory. 

In front of the Parthenon, the Pegasus left me where I encountered a five-reel, four-row grid with 20 paylines. Wins pay from left to right, with matching symbols needing to appear on consecutive reels. You’ll require at least three identical symbols, which changes for Pegasus, as it only requires two to form a win. 

The game also has a 91.95% RTP, which doesn't make it particularly appealing for me, who’s planning longer sessions. And evidently, I landed wins every six to seven spins, although sometimes it went over 10 spins. My average returns ranged from 0.80x to 2.30x my bet. I saw wins above 10x only twice, with returns of 15x and 18.20x my bet.

However, that impression changed when I encountered the cash collection mechanics. The random money-throwing mechanics helped turn things around in the base game. I landed one mini and two minor jackpots alongside a few cash symbols, bringing the total return to 105x my bet. That was enough to recover the amount I'd lost during earlier spins.

Magic Treasures Hold and Win Pegasus has two main bonus choices: bonus spins and hold and win. The bonus spins round starts with eight spins, while hold and win begins with three spins on a five-by-four grid. Both can feature money balls, and the hold and win round can add multipliers and jackpot prizes.

The bonus game took nearly 100 spins to trigger, but I managed to land a mini jackpot with a 2x multiplier. That combination returned 82x my bet, giving me a decent payout after a lengthy wait.

The game also includes a prize bonus, where matching three prize symbols awards the corresponding jackpot. Although these features add variety, my session relied heavily on the jackpot hits to make the results worthwhile.

Magic Treasures Hold and Win Pegasus is well-groomed overall. However, the low RTP and high volatility combo is not something to take lightly. I would suggest trying the demo version before you put your actual bankroll into this gameplay.
