The game features symbols from the Roman empire and includes an Armor, a Helmet, a Chariot, a Gold Coin, a Sword, an Amulet, Ace, Jack, King and Queen and the fatal Volcano itself. Pompeii was entirely wiped out by lava from the volcano and in the game, you have to hunt for the treasures that remain buried under the lava. The city was destroyed in AD 79 when an active volcano on Mount Vesuvius erupted. The ancient Roman city of Pompeii is the motif on which the game is based. The Pompeii slot machine is remarkably popular as it packs a great combination of big wins in the base play, as well as during the bonus rounds, and provides high per-unit profitability.
