Blueprint Gaming jumped at the chance to add the Megaways system to the games they were working on in the studio, and Slots O Gold Megaways is another example of how appreciative this team are of the mechanic. In this release, which is actually a Megaways version of popular 2016 Slots O Gold, there are up to 15,625 ways to win, which is quite a bit less than traditional Megaways slots.
It’s standard procedure for slot developers who have a game that has hit the heights to want to rework it somehow by perhaps adding a sequel. But, what players get with Slots O Gold Megaways isn’t just the addition of the Megaways system, but the slot links into Jackpot King Progressive Network, which is worth multi-millions of pounds.
And how can you have a slot with an Irish theme on your hands and not mention how fantastic the genre is? Yes, it has been covered plenty of times by multiple developers. Still, when you factor in all of the above, it does add a freshness to proceedings and somewhat of a uniqueness, which is why players will want to get involved from ten pence per spin, with the maximum stake available being 50.00.
We always find ourselves saying the same about slots that are based on the luck of the Irish and everything that entails, and that’s that there has to be a high degree of authenticity. Players want to know they’re playing a slot with an Irish theme, and Blueprint Gaming ensure this is the case with a backdrop featuring an enchanted forest and a rainbow.
The authentic Irish approach doesn’t end there, with the symbols on the reels – pot of gold, leprechaun hat, harp and lucky horseshoe – all tying into the theme. They’re accompanied by royals 9 – A and two special icons that are, of course, a wild and a scatter.
The wild icon’s first role is to substitute for other regular symbols on the reels. But it will also be integral in kickstarting the Rainbow Re-Spins feature when landing on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5. When this happens, the wild can expand to cover an entire reel and becomes sticky. This is a feat that can happen four times, potentially leading to four fully wild reels.
Of course, every player spinning the reels of Slots O Gold Megaways will want to play the Jackpot King Bonus game, but to do so, they will need five Jackpot King Deluxe icons in view in a single spin. When the feature is triggered, players will spin a new reel and must collect fifteen crowns to get to the Wheel King area, where three progressive jackpots will be up for grabs. The average prize when reaching this stage is potentially worth over 1,000,000.
Slots O Gold Megaways is an upgrade on the 2016 release Slots O Gold, largely thanks to Blueprint Gaming adding the Megaways system and giving players a chance to win one of several huge progressive jackpots.
