Who can forget that conversation between two lead characters in the cult classic Pulp Fiction. One topic that is covered is that in France, a quarter pounder burger is known as a Royale with cheese. Now, iSoftBet has brought a delicious prospect to your screens with Royale with Cheese Megaways, one of the latest online slots to use the mechanic, seeing up to 117,649 paylines made available. Megaways slots not only have cascading reels for increased wins, but iSoftBet has thrown in various side orders of bonus features, with free spins included. Let’s see how this title feeds your appetite for big wins.
Before going into the meaty details, let’s talk about iSoftBet. This casino software studio certainly enjoys making use of the Megaways mechanic, having used it previously in slots online such as Morgana Megaways and Majestic Megaways. Both of these casino games were hits and definitely warranted some praise in the studio’s direction. With Royale with Cheese Megaways, you’ll be transported to a diner-like environment. However, the corporate giant responsible for selling Royale with Cheese’s didn’t make their branding available to iSoftBet. Being a Megaways title, there is the added value of cascading reels, where win reactions are part of the game. This means every win sees a ‘respin’, which can also result in another win, and another respin, and so on.
There’s a higher-than-average volatility in Royale with Cheese Megaways, so this could see wins not making themselves as available as what you might have experienced elsewhere, but the wins award bigger payouts. Speaking of payouts, the most you’ll be able to win off any single spin is 50,000x your bet, which is a special multiplier. That’s in ‘top online slot games’ territory, although actually achieving that win is another story altogether. Remember that the 117,649 paylines aren’t always in play – they grow as you play. An extra reel is added, which sees the win lines grow. Looking at the wagering window, the minimum bet starts at 20p, while players looking to go big will be able to wager as high as £20.
We must say, the theme in Royale with Cheese Megaways makes for a welcomed change from the usual Egyptian, Irish or Aztec themes. What it gives us are, thankfully, different symbols, with the higher paying icons being a milkshake, a hotdog, fries and, the highest paying symbol, the royale with cheeseburger. The lower paying icons are pretty standard, being playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.
There are three extra symbols that act as the ketchup to your fries: the Bonus, Wild and Mystery symbols. We’ll discuss the Bonus and Mystery in a second, but the Wild’s function is to substitute any regular icon to help make winning paylines.
If you land 3 of the Bonus symbol on the same spin, you’ll have triggered the free spins. Every extra Bonus icon above the 3 needed adds +1 extra free spin. This feature can also be triggered when you achieve five consecutive win reactions from the cascading reels. Any cascading reels win adds a x1 multiplier to the eventual win.
Royale with Cheese Megaways also has a feature called Build a Burger, and this is actually the feature triggered by five consecutive win reactions through which free spins can be claimed. The Build a Burger feature sees you pick items from a table that reveals bonus items such as multipliers, extra free spins, extra Megaways and low paying symbols being removed.
This is a slot with a formula that has been used for many years now, so it’s not an original mechanic or set of bonus features. However, there is a solid recipe for a good wagering window, cascading reels, free spins, multipliers and extra cash prizes. Playing the game in demo mode is a good way of seeing what it can do, and trust us when we say that there’s an upsize of wins that can come your way.
