Welcome back for another review of our series of featured online slots. Today, we’ve got a title that’s making use of the Megaways slots formula, meaning that there’s up to 117,649 ways to win, which is an unbelievable amount. The game is Royal Mint Megaways, which uses 6-7 reels to give you all those winning chances. There’s also quite a bit of added value, which comes in the form of free spins, cascading reels giving you win reactions, as well as multipliers that never fail to make those wins just that much sweeter. But what else is there to analyse about Royal Mint Megaways? Let’s take a closer look.
First thing you need to know is that there is a veryplayer-friendly maximum bet of only £20, whichmeans you won’t have to dip into your savings to go for the game’s highestpossible return. Speaking of the highest amount Royal Mint Megaways will pay,it’s 4,130x your bet. In knowing this, it makes sense that dropping higher sumsof cash means the rewards you get from wins will be better. If you want toaddress this slot cautiously then the betting starts at a very low 10p, butthis is a place you should move on from if you’re going to win cash that can atleast buy you some takeout. Another thing that helps is that there arecascading reels, so the reels don’t spin, but rather see symbols drop in. Ifthere’s a win, you get a reaction, meaning another ‘spin’ happens. They keephappening for as long as wins occur.
We’re not too sure what the theme of Royal Mint Megaways is, but it’s basically centred around a bank and its vault. Big Time Gaming is the online casino software provider that created the game, and we must admit we’ve seen them create titles that have a more exciting look and feel. For those that ever played Star Clusters or Sweet Success Megaways, you’ll notice that there isn’t quite the same flash that BTG managed in those other titles.
The symbols are part of the very bland theme the iGaming studio has gone with, and don’t give us any exciting characters or objects. We will say, however, that players making use of any mobile casino will be able to identify the symbols clearly. The symbols that will earn you wins of a lower value are the playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, with the A having the highest payout potential. The higher value symbols, of which there are 4, are valuable gemstones, all being the valuable objects that are obviously stored in the bank’s vault.
There’s a scatter symbol that appears as four differenticons which, if all land, spell out MINT. There’s also a wildsymbol, and this one will substitute all icons except the scatter to createwinning symbol combinations.
You’ll notice that as the game plays out the reels canexpand from 6 reels to 7 reels, giving you up to those 117,649 ways to win atany given time. This is now quite a common feature in slot machines online, butalways very appreciated.
If you land all four scatters to spell out MINT, thenyou’ll have triggered 12 free spins. Reactions during the free spins add amultiplier to your eventual win amount. Consecutive reactions mean themultiplier keeps growing, which is unlimited. You can increase the number offree spins by landing three extra scatters during the spins.
Royal Mint Megaways can kick it up a gear with afeature called Heartstopper Enhanced Free Spins, which you trigger bycollecting gold bars when you land three scatters on a spin. The short versionis that in this feature, the multiplier increases by 2x from every reaction.
Taking the slot’s theme out ofthe equation, this is a title that has quite a few reasons for you to play.There are free spins which come with multipliers, more paylines than you’ll be able tocount, win reactions and a free spins feature on steroids. Royal Mint Megawaysis a prime example of not judging a book by the cover. Give it a shot, and seewhat goods you can pick out from the vault.
