Slot Details
Beef Lightning Megaways is a cascading video slot with six reel, 2 to 7 rows and 64 to 117,649 ways to win. Pays are awarded for two to six matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from left to right only. You can turn into a reel cow farmer on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.20 to 10 credits per spin (up to 20 based on operator). The game has high volatility with an RTP of 96.43%.
A tranquil countryside scenery will open up when you load the game, taking you the farm for the cow auction that is at the centre of the gameplay. A typical barn and a water wheel flank the reels that are set at the entrance to the farm. Trigger the free spins and you will enter the auction room filled with cows ready to be exchanged for big wins.
The pay symbols start at the low end with card royals from 9 through to A, followed by horseshoes, cow bells, cows and bulls. The latter is the most valuable with 20x your bet for six across the reels. The wild icon appears on reels two to five only, substituting for all regular pay symbols while also randomly duplicating to add more wilds to the same reel. Scatters forming the word M-O-O will trigger the frees spins while a golden slot logo symbol acts as the bonus coin.
Beef Lightning Megaways Slot Features
After venturing into Megaclusters and Megaquads, Big Time Gaming is returning to its signature mechanic preparing to release with King of Cats, Beef Lightning and Spicy Meatballs no less than three Megaways games in as many months during summer 2021. Sort of going back to the roots. Well, on this occasion we are going indeed back to the roots, those of Mount Cashmore that is, to visit cow auction that could deliver wins of up to 56,000x bet.
At the core is naturally the Megaways game engine that will randomly select between 2 and 7 symbols for each reel for every spin sequence, thus creating anything from 64 to 117,649 ways to win. No horizontal tracker on this occasion, which means that each of the six reels can have up to 7 symbols. Hitting a winner will trigger the reactive wins mechanic, removing all symbols in the combo and dropping new ones into the empty spaces. The process is repeated as long as more wins occur after a cascade.
Not entirely new are the duplicating wilds, which we have seen in a similar form on other creations such as Wheel of Fortune Megaways. Any wilds landing on reels two to five at the start of a spin or after a reaction can randomly spread up and/or down on the same reel and duplicate until the entire reels is a stacked wild. Worth noting is that not all appearing at the same time might duplicate. Up to three can do so, however, potentially leading to wild multipliers of up to x343 if the reels are 7-symbols high.
Having three scatters spelling M-O-O in view by the time a game round concludes will trigger the Beef Lightning Auction with 12 Free Spins. Any further will add +4 spins to the tally. Scatters will be removed from the reels for the duration of the bonus round but you can still win extra free spins. Instead of scatters, Beef Lightning Bonus Coins can appear at any time on all six reels and will play a significant role for your potential winnings.
Every Beef Lightning Auction feature starts with one cow and no bids. The free spins round itself are played with no additional multipliers or modifiers. However, every golden Beef Lightning Bonus Coin appearing on a free spin will award a random prize.
- Cows: Adds a random number of cows to the collection
- Auction Bid: Adds a random number of bids to the collection, basically a multiplier
- Retrigger: Will retrigger 10 Free Spins, no limits
- Trophies: Awards a Golden, Silver or Bronze Trophy
At the end, the number of auctioned cows will be multiplied by the final bid for an extra bonus prize. Plus, collecting three Bronze, four Silver and/or five Golden Trophies will award instant coin wins worth 500x, 2,500 and 25,000 times your bet respectively.
Final Verdict
Beef Lightning Megaways shows that there is still more than enough life left in the popular game engine. While not breaking away too much from the tried-and-tested formula for this type of games, the bonus feature lets it stand out in the increasingly crowded Megaways niche. The Beef Lightning Bonus Coins add another element of suspense to the gameplay, potentially letting you leave the auction with a huge win.
