Merry Christmas Megaways

We all know about the giving aspect of Christmas, and by all means, we encourage you to share the spoils with as many as possible. However, that doesn't mean you can look after your own interests too, and what better way to go about that than having the chance to land fantastic online slots wins this festive season! Merry Christmas Megaways is a new title from Inspired Gaming using the aptly timed Christmas theme, and you’ll be exposed to plenty of helpings of multipliers in the bonus game. The bonus is a free spins feature and sees multipliers progress in size thanks to the win reactions of cascading reels. How about some wild symbols to go with that portion of gammon? Coming right up!

The Megaways slot machines in the UK of today all appear to be taking on the same system. In Merry Christmas Megaways, there's a horizontal reel lying above the six vertical reels, which modifies the combinations falling below. As is usual, six reels play host to 117,649 paylines, while the volatility of the reels is really high. This means you can expect the size of the wins you land to be higher than average, although the frequency of the wins is less. The iGaming studio that created Merry Christmas Megaways and is a real veteran in releasing online casino games is Inspired Gaming. This is a studio that's been on our radar this entire year with a flurry of Canadian slots online, including Big Piggy Bonus and Spooky King. Needless to say, this stable is on a roll.

Another aspect of Megaways titles that seems to be the norm these days is a smaller wagering window. The reason for this could be iGamers wagering over £10 per stake, an uncommon occurrence. Regardless of the reasons, the most you'll be able to stake is £10, while the lowest possible wagering amount is 20p. When it comes to the size of your wins, it will depend on how much your wager was. If wagering the maximum of £10 and you achieve the biggest possible multiplier on your stake, you’ll be walking away with £250,000.00. The odds of winning this is will always be slim, but not impossible.

When you open up a slots title called Merry Christmas Megaways, it leaves little to the imagination as to what the look and feel with be. So, needless to say, expect a heavy Christmas theme with Christmas music etc. The symbols in the slot play their part in adding to the theme, as they all revolve around Christmas in some way. The lower paying icons are playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A; all marked on a bauble. The symbols that carry higher values are a Christmas bell, a Christmas present, Santa’s sleigh and Santa Claus himself.

Look out for the mystery icon, the Christmas cracker, while there's also a Bonus symbol called 'Bonus'. There’s also a wild symbol that lands in the vertical reel, and this symbol substitutes all regular icons to create winning lines if necessary.

To trigger the bonus feature, which is free spins, you'll need to land four bonus symbols on the same spin. This will award you 12 free spins, but any number of bonus icons over the four required to trigger the feature adds an extra two spins to the total.

During the free spins, there is also a multiplier in play. If you manage a consecutive win, then a +1 multiplier is added to all wins. This multiplier number is limitless, to you could be looking at a massive win.

Mystery symbols can also fall in all reels and can transform into the same symbol for increased winning chances.

The formula used in Merry Christmas Megaways is very much the same as what you’d find in other Megaways titles, only with a theme to make it appealing to players at this time of the year. However, the winning chances are most definitely legitimate, which you can see if giving the game a whirl in demo mode before going in for real cash. Hit the right symbol combination here, and it'll make your present stash under the tree look very underwhelming.
