If you’ve played other Megaways games, and let’s face it, we all have by now, then you’ll be familiar with much of what happens in Spin and Score. There are tumbling wins and free spins with progressive multipliers. And to keep things interesting, a new feature called Big Wild.
To begin, and for those who don’t know, Tumbling Wins works as follows: after any win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in to replace them. If new win lines are formed, the process repeats, until no further wins occur. This gives you the chance to score multiple wins from one spin. And just like in Bonanza, the Megaways game that kicked things off, in the free spins round the Tumbles come with a Progressive Multiplier that starts at 1x and increases by 1x with each new Tumble. And just like other Megaways games that multiplier DOES NOT re-set between spins in the round.
And so to the extra feature Pragmatic Play have added to this game. On the extra reel that sits above reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 you will sometimes see a Goalkeeper in mid dive stretching out over 2 reels. When he does, and if he is ENTIRELY visible, then you he will turn the two reels he lands over FULLY WILD. And, if he is still fully visible after the next tumble and appearing above two different reels, then they two will turn wild.
This is a nice add-on though to be honest it NEVER appeared in our testing period of around 150 spins! Maybe not our lucky day, but still, it could prove to be an elusive feature, and does not appear to add much to the overall experience.
The main event, as always with Megaways, is the Free Spins round. The big news here is that you get many more spins than you do in other Megaways games. Up to 30 from 9 scatters in fact. This is what you get:
- 4 scatter symbols get you 10 free spins
- 5 scatter symbols get you 15 free spins
- 6 scatter symbols get you 18 free spins
- 7 scatter symbols get you 22 free spins
- 8 scatter symbols get you 26 free spins
- 9 scatter symbols get you 30 free spins
If you land 4, 5 or 6 scatters then you will also get the opportunity to gamble for more spins. It’s a simple Win / Lose on the spin of a wheel to earn an extra 4 spins. But keep in mind that if you lose, you lose ALL your spins.
And finally, you can also earn an extra 4 free spins by landing 3 more scatters.
We unlocked free spins just once during testing. That gave us 10 free spins from 4 scatters and we elected NOT to gamble to make sure we could experience the round. In the end we scored a £2.85 win from a 20p stake. It gave us a chance to see the progressive multiplier in action which reached 6x by the end of the round. This is very much by the number Megaways, the same experience as you get many, many other games on this engine. It does, however, kick off (literally) with a cool animation of a player making a leaping volley, which was satisfying!
