Atlantis Megaways Bonus Respin Bet Lock

What the bet lock means

In the documented Atlantis Megaways help version dated 14 September 2018, Bonus Respins retain the stake of the triggering spin. In practical terms, the entry stake is the wager attached to the spin that starts the feature, and that stake remains associated with the Bonus Respins that follow. This is the key point behind the Atlantis Megaways Bonus Respin Bet Lock: the feature does not require you to select a new stake between each respin.

The wording is important because a feature continuation can look different from an ordinary paid spin. The game may show new symbols, a changing layout, a win amount or prize multipliers while the feature is in progress. Those displays describe the current feature state or its result; they do not, by themselves, indicate that another paid spin has been purchased. The documented rule is about retaining the triggering stake, not about treating every new display as a separate wager.

Entry stake versus held feature stake

The entry stake is the amount set for the spin that triggers Bonus Respins. Once the feature begins, the documented help says that Bonus Respins retain that triggering spin's stake. It is therefore useful to separate two moments when reading the game interface:

• Before entry: the selected stake applies to the ordinary spin. If that spin triggers Bonus Respins, it is the triggering stake that matters for the feature.
• During the feature: the Bonus Respins continue with the retained stake from the triggering spin, according to the reviewed help version.
• After the feature: the next ordinary spin should be considered separately from the completed feature. The supplied help confirms the retained stake during Bonus Respins, but it does not establish every rule for all later rounds or every deployed version.

This distinction helps avoid mixing up the stake attached to entry with the amount shown in a feature display. A changing win total is not the same thing as changing the stake. Likewise, the appearance of another respin does not establish that a fresh wager has been made.

Why displayed prize multipliers are not a fresh wager

A prize multiplier or an amount shown during Bonus Respins can make the feature appear more active as the round develops. However, the supplied Atlantis Megaways help does not say that a displayed multiplier creates a new paid spin. The safer reading is that the display represents part of the feature outcome or current win presentation, while the retained stake remains tied to the triggering spin.

Keep the labels separate when checking a round:

• The stake is the wager retained from the triggering spin during Bonus Respins.
• A prize multiplier is a displayed value connected with the feature or its win presentation.
• A win amount is shown by the Win meter as the current win amount.
• A new paid spin would be a separate ordinary game action, not something established merely by a multiplier appearing inside an ongoing feature.

This terminology does not change the result of a round. It simply prevents a displayed value from being mistaken for another debit or another entry decision. If the interface is unclear, use the loaded game's help and round information rather than assuming that a visible multiplier changes the retained stake.

Megaways meter and Win meter are different

The reviewed help identifies two relevant displays. The Megaways meter shows potential ways for the displayed layout, while the Win meter shows the current win amount. These meters answer different questions. The Megaways meter concerns the potential ways available in the layout being displayed; the Win meter concerns the amount currently recorded as a win.

Neither description changes the documented Bonus Respin stake rule. A larger or smaller ways figure is not a new wager, and a changing Win meter is not proof that a new paid spin has started. Reading the meter labels alongside the feature state can make it easier to tell whether you are looking at the retained Bonus Respin sequence or a later ordinary spin.

Check the loaded help version

This explanation is bound to the Atlantic Lottery public game help identified as version 1.0 and issued 14 September 2018. It should not be treated as confirmation that every later, adapted or separately deployed version uses identical wording or controls. Before relying on the rule, open the help information in the version you are actually playing and compare its feature description with the documented wording.

The reviewed material also records menu and settings controls, autoplay configuration, a stop-autoplay button and a space-bar spin shortcut. Those controls are separate from the stake rule. Their presence in the reviewed document does not establish that identical controls appear in every deployment. A loaded help screen, version label or round-history record can provide the most relevant context for the specific game instance.

If the displayed stake, feature state or recorded result appears inconsistent with the loaded help, preserve the round details before leaving the session and seek clarification through the relevant support channel. This guide explains the documented distinction between entry stake, retained feature stake and displayed win information; it does not replace the help attached to the version in use.
