I like the mix of standard Megaways features and one or two extras here. If you’ve played classic Megways games like Bonanza then you’ll be familiar with most of what follows.
Land More Wins From Each Spin With Tumble Wins
Ok, so we all know this feature, regularly used in Megaways™ slots and most famously in NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest game. Winning symbols are removed from the reels and new ones drop in to replace them. When this happens so more wins can occur. The process repeats until no more wins are created. Basically it gives you the chance to score progressive wins from one spin – and in the free spins round a progressive multiplier is added to the feature.
More on that in a moment.
Cascades or Tumbles follow every winThors Hammer Transforms Symbols Into Wilds
This is Pragmatic Play’s addition to the Megaways mix.
Thor’s famous Hammer is key to extra wins in the base game and bonus rounds. It appears only on the top horizontal reel and must appear in full (it takes up two horizontal spaces on the reel set). When it does, all symbols on the reels below it are turned into Wilds, creating more opportunities for wins. Effectively you have TWO WIlD REELS each time this triggers.
Thor’s Hammer bringing wilds to the reelsGet Up To 30 Free Spins With Progressive Multipliers
Again, the free spins round is nothing new. Interestingly, Pragmatic Play have borrowed from the original Bonanza game here because you need 4 scatters spelling out the word ‘Thor’ to trigger the bonus (in Bonanza it is ‘Gold’).
4 scatters gets you 10 free spins, and each extra scatter earns you 4 more spins. So, 5 scatters gets you 14, 6 gets you 18, 7 gets you 22, 8 gets you 26 and 9 gets you 30.
And to make things more interesting still, if your spin total is between 10 and 18 then you can Gamble and up your spins total further. This is fun, but it can backfire – if you lose, then you go back to the base game. Bearing in mind how tough it is to get there in the first place, my advice would be to think very carefully before making that gamble.
Then, once into the free spins, you have the classic Bonanza-style progressive multiplier too. This is a 1x multiplier that grows by 1x with each successive tumble. It does NOT re-set between spins so if you have 30 spins, that can be an impressive multiplier.
Finally, there are also chances for re-triggers, as 4 extra free spins are added whenever 3 more Scatters land during the Round.
And Thor’s Hammer remains in play so wild reels may trigger at any time.
