Five reels and four rows give 1024 ways to win in Argonauts, a video slot set in Ancient Greece and mythology. Wins pay on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel to the right, on any row. Three matching symbols are the fewest that pay. Each way pays only its highest win, and the wins on several ways add up.
Six or more MONEY symbols on one base-game spin start the Respin Feature, which opens with 3 respins. The counter resets to 3 whenever a new MONEY symbol lands or a WILD COLLECTOR hits, and otherwise drops by one. WILD COLLECTOR replaces every symbol except MONEY and collects the MONEY values beside it, with a random multiplier.
Clear on every step
Vegastars Casino keeps each step described in plain figures, so nothing on the reels arrives as a surprise.
Argonauts opens at A$0.20 and runs up to A$240 per spin. Choose an amount inside that range; the paytable at a A$0.50 bet is the scale this page uses for its figures.
Reels pay across 1,024 ways, left to right from the leftmost reel, with any row counting. Only the highest win on each way is paid, and wins on separate ways add together.
Wilds stand in for the regular symbols, and a progressive multiplier lifts the MONEY values a collector gathers. Base spins hold the ordinary pays until a collector does its work.
Six MONEY symbols or more on one spin open the Respin Feature with three respins. New MONEY symbols or a wild collector reset the counter to three; a full grid doubles every MONEY value.
Set a loss limit before the first spin and stop when it is reached. High volatility means long gaps between paying rounds, so a figure agreed in advance keeps the session in your hands.
How it runs
You will know how the base round and the respin round each begin and end.
Six or more MONEY symbols on one base-game spin open the respin round with 3 respins. Each new MONEY symbol or WILD COLLECTOR sets the counter back to 3; otherwise it drops by 1. The round stops when the counter runs out or the 5x4 grid fills, and a filled grid pays every MONEY value x2, up to the 10,000x cap.
Base gameRespins
Every paid round begins on the 5x4 grid with 1024 ways to win. Wins form from adjacent reels left to right, on any row, starting from the leftmost reel; only the highest win on a way is paid, and wins across different ways are added together.

Visual tour
Most players want to see the layout and the MONEY symbols before committing a bet amount.
Six or more MONEY symbols on one spin start the respin round, and how often that happens is not known in advance. Each session is random on its own: an RTP of 96.46% is a long-run average across millions of spins, never a promise about the next hundred.
Two published returns exist for this game, so which one applies is visible only under the game rules on the screen. The difference between them is a fraction of a percent, and it shapes the long-run cost of play rather than any single session.
The stated maximum is x10,000, or A$100,000 at the A$10 example bet, and it sits at the very top of the payout range. Reaching it needs the respin grid to fill and the round to run its full course; most rounds end far below it.
Learn the ropes for nothing

What you settle here
Six straight answers on Argonauts, so the figures and the limits are clear before you stake.
Argonauts caps a round at x10,000 the bet. At the example bet of A$10 that is A$100,000, and at the game limit of A$240 it reaches A$2,400,000. Any single respin round stops at that ceiling.
Argonauts runs here under the Pragmatic Play licence, so the reel behaviour, the 1024 ways and the respin round are the same ones the paid game uses. No demo option is listed for this title on this page.
Stakes on Argonauts start at A$0.20 and top out at A$240 per spin. The A$0.50 and A$10 bets quoted across this page are illustrations only, not the edges of the range.
Pragmatic Play rates Argonauts as high volatility. Wins arrive less often and lean on the respin round, where the 10,000x ceiling sits. A stake should be one you can lose without strain.
Buy Respins on Argonauts costs 60x the total bet and guarantees at least six MONEY symbols on the trigger spin. At the A$10 example bet that is A$600; the price scales with whatever stake you have set.
Argonauts is published with two return figures, 96.46% and 96.47%, measured per A$100 staked. The version running at Vegastars Casino is shown in the game rules panel. Both sit close, so the difference is small.
Play only from 18+. If gambling stops being entertainment in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or join BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
A$240 is the top stake on Argonauts, and at high volatility the reels can take a while to return anything. Decide the amount you can spend before the first spin, and treat it as spent.
That 10,000x ceiling at A$100,000 on the example bet is a rare round, not a target. Name a win figure and a loss figure now, and leave when either one is reached.
Deposit and loss limits in your account hold when a session turns against you. A 60x Buy Respins price at A$600 on the example bet is a spend worth capping in advance.
When the game turns into chasing the respin round, stop the session. Take a break in your account or join BetStop, which blocks gambling across Australian operators.
