Santa King Megaways

We have an interesting game on our hands in Santa King, as this is Inspired Gaming re-working an online slot game of the past to capture the imagination of players ahead of and during the festive period. Inspired Gaming created Reel King Megaways, and Santa King Megaways is undoubtedly a straight remake of this title but with a different theme. So, if players spun the reels of the original and liked it, they’re naturally going to like this one.

For other players, there may not have been enough imagination from Inspired Gaming with this release, but then there is the Megaways mechanic to consider, and there are potentially up to 117,649 ways to win, which could appease quite a few. There is also a bonus reel above the game area, which is sure to add intrigue, excitement, and possibly to the winning potential of the slot.

The bottom line is that festive-themed slots are always popular, especially during the festive period. Players want to enjoy games where they’re going to see all things Christmas because it will get them in the mood for the big event in real life, and they can enjoy Santa King Megaways from 0.20 per spin, an ideal entry bet level, with a maximum stake of 20.00 available.

The theme in Santa King Megaways is basically old school fruit machine meets Christmas. The game is basic from a visual standpoint, with the backdrop made up of a blue-coloured backing covered in snowflakes. And this approach carries through onto the reels via the icons too.

Symbols players can expect to see on the reels include playing card symbols 9–A, cherries, plums, watermelons and sacks full of presents. The sacks of presents icon pays the most, with a line of five worth up to 50x the bet. There is also a wild in Santa King Megaways, represented by a crown, which will act as a substitute for other regular symbols in the game.

The cascading reels system is active in Santa King Megaways, so when a winning combination is in view, icons involved in the combo will be removed from the game area, replaced by new ones, which can lead to chains of wins.

Following over from Reel King Megaways is Lit Reels, one of the game’s best features. In Santa King Megaways, Lit Reels can see up to six reels turn yellow, and if this is tied in with cascades, it’s possible to kickstart one of the three King features – Reel, Super and Mega.

The reel above the game area can award wins of up to 10x and get players on the free spins trail when a Reel King appears on it, and the three Reel King options are as follows:

• Reel King – Up to 12 free spins and up to two Reel Kings
• Super King – Up to 20 free spins and up to three Reel Kings
• Mega King – Up to 25 free spins and up to six Reel Kings

To put the cat amongst the pigeons, before the free spins begin, players will have the chance to gamble what they have for a little bit more, which will only apply if they don’t already have twenty-five free spins in their possession.

Santa King Megaways from Inspired Gaming may be Reel King Megaways dressed up differently for Christmas, but it does kind of work, primarily because it carries over the features that made the original a fun and exciting slot to play, such as the three King options in the bonus round.
