Slot Details
1 Million Megaways BC is a cascading video slot with six reels, up to seven rows and 64 – 117,649 ways to win in the base game. During the free spins, the number of reels increases to seven for 128 – 1,058,841 ways (more to that shortly). Wins are awarded for two to six (two to seven in free spins) matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right only. You can travel back to the stone age on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin. The game has maximum volatility with an RTP of 96.20%.
A rugged mountain scene is opening up when you load the game with a cave and snowy peaks in the background. It will change to summertime during the bonus round where the action will heat up in all aspects. Four blazing baskets to the side of the game window indicate the progress towards a feature trigger while prehistoric animals and a caveman couple dominate the giant reel set. A dramatic soundtrack accompanies the usual reel and win count noises.
The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 1.2x to 2x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are complemented with moose, sabertooth tigers, mammoths and the Caveman couple as premiums. Hitting six across the reels will pay 0.5x to 5x your stake, rising in the free spins to 1x to 10x for a single seven of kind. An iceblock marked with the word itself is the standard wild appearing on reels two to six in the base game and two to seven in the free spins. Blazing sticky wilds can land one reel four in the free spins only. There are no scatters on this slot.
1 Million Megaways BC Slot Features
While the mammoth game window is taking centre stage in the free spins, there is more to this slot, actually a lot more. Iron Dog Studios is proving yet again that they are willing to go much further with the Megaways engine than most of the other developers who signed a licence with Big Time Gaming. As usual, we will try our best to put everything in chronological order as they happen in a session.
Core to the gameplay is the dynamic reel set of the Megaways game engine, cascading two to seven symbols into view for each reel and creating a virtually unlimited number of combinations of ways from 64 to the maximum 117,649 in the base game. Score a win and all symbols that are part of the combo will shatter while the remainder drops towards the bottom before new symbols tumble into the empty spaces. Hit another winner and the process repeats until no new winning combination lands after an avalanche.
And here comes the first extra feature for the base game. Keep an eye on the stone plate to the left of the reels as it will display the incremental win multiplier. It starts at x1 and increases initially to x2 after the first winning reaction, followed by x4, x6 and x8 for subsequent reactions. The multiplier will stay at x8 until the end of a spin sequence and reset to x1 before the next round starts.
On top of the multiplier plate are four stone nests with firewood. Every winning reaction will light one up and setting all four ablaze within a single spin sequence will trigger 8 Free Spins. Any subsequent winning reaction on the triggering spin will add +2 free spins to the tally, up to a maximum of 14. Once triggered, the game window will split in the middle to make room for the Mammoth reel with up to nine symbols, which will increase the number of ways to a range between 128 and 1,058,841.
Any time a reel with seven symbols appears on a free spin, or the Mammoth reel shows nine symbols, they will lock in the maximum configuration for the rest of the feature. Having all seven reels locked would give you the maximum ways of over 1 million on each remaining free spin. The second kicker in the free spins is the unlimited progressive win multiplier. It starts at x1 and will increase by x1 for each winning tumble. Plus, locking any of the seven reels will add x1 as well. Each locked standard reel will award +1 free spin while the Mammoth reel will retrigger +5 free spins. Overall, that brings the maximum to 25 free spins with no further retriggers possible.
And there is more. Any wild landing on the Mammoth reel will turn into a Sticky Wild. It will drop towards the bottom after each tumble and stay then locked in place until the end of the feature. Up to nine sticky wilds can stack on the giant reel.
Lastly, 1 Million Megaways BC offers a Buy Free Spins option in jurisdictions where the feature buys have not been restricted. Clicking on the button will lead you to a selection screen where you can pick the number of free spins – 6 for 50x, 8 for 85x, 10 for 135x, 12 for 200x and 14 for 270x your base bet.
Final Verdict
Well, that was quite something for a slot that is taking us back to the stone age. 1 Million Megaways BC is proof of the versatility of the highly popular game engine that Iron Dog Studios is using under a licence from Big Time Gaming. The developer went again out of its way to create something special to every aspect of the game. The progressive multiplier cranks up the win potential in the base game while the Mammoth wheel in the bonus round is taking things to a whole new level.
