Dazzle Me Megaways

Get to discover a world of shiny gems and classic fruit symbols on the slot from NetEnt. Dazzle Me Megaways is bringing back the 2015 original and combines it with the immensely popular game engine from Big Time Gaming. On this occasion, wild substitutions, avalanching symbols, reactive wins, random Dazzling Wild Reels and a free spins round with guaranteed wild reels will be your main entertainment.

UPDATE: Dazzle Me Megaways has been prereleased as a 2-weeks exclusive at Unibet and sister sites in the Kindred Group. The global release will go ahead as scheduled.

Slot Details

Dazzle Me Megaways is a cascading video slot with 6 reels with maximum 5-5-7-7-9-9 rows and 64 to 99,225 ways to win. Pays are awarded for two to five matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from left to right only. The game has medium to high volatility with a default RTP of 96.10%. Beware, customizable RTPs at 95.08%, 93.09% and 91.06% are offered, always check the help file to find out what version you will be playing.

Visually, nothing has changed from the 2013 original except for the now larger game window to house the Megaways reels. Plus, you have a small display in the top left corner, indicating the current number of active bet ways. Pay symbol set and audio are largely unchanged too.

The pay symbols start at the low end with six gems in various geometrical shapes and different colours – turquoise, rose, purple, green, pink and orange – awarding 0.50x to 0.90x your stake for a single six of a kind. They are followed by 4-leaf clovers, hearts, bells and sevens. Hit six across the reels to win 1x to 3x your bet, admittedly rather paltry payouts. A shiny gem is the wild, appearing on reels two to six only and performing the usual substitution duties while a simple blue icon marked with ‘Free Spins’ acts as the scatter.

Dazzle Me Megaways Slot Featurs

The original Dazzle Me from 2015 was not exactly what you could call a blockbuster slot in the player community, hence, our expectation for its Megaways sibling are set at a rather low level. The main question is whether the BTG game engine can turn even such a thud into a shining star. Time to take a closer look.

At the core of the action is the Megaways game engine that will randomly select between 2 and 9 symbols to land on the reels, based on the maximum height for the 5-5-7-7-9-9 format and thus creates anywhere from 64 to 99,225 ways to win for every spin.

Next, is the tumbling reels mechanic with cascading symbols, called Avalanche feature on NetEnt slots. Land three or more symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost and you have a winner. The symbols from a winning combination will explode to make room for new symbols to tumble into place. The chain reaction will continue as long as new winners occur after a cascade, allowing you to potentially win multiple times in a single spin sequence.

The main focus, however, are still the Diamond Wilds, and that in the base game and free spins. They only appear during the Dazzling Wild Reels feature, which triggers randomly in the main game and on every free spin in the bonus round (more to the latter later on). The screen will darken and up to three reels between 2 and 6 will turn wild for the current spin. Scoring a win containing the wilds will see them shatter together with the other winning symbols before they are replaced with regular pay symbols in the following Avalanche.

Having four scatters in view by the time a spin sequence concludes will trigger 8 Free Spins with any further adding +4 spins to the tally. According to the brief, the odds of winning the free spins feature stand at 1:409 spins, so you might have to wait occasionally very long for the main event. The Dazzling Wild Reel feature will be now even more prevalent than in the base game as it not only activates on every free spin but also increases the reel height. At the start of the feature, you will notice a small display on top of reels two to six, each showing the number 2 which is equal to the number of wilds that can initially land on any of the reels.

At the start of every free spin, the Dazzling Wild Reel feature will select one to three reels and turn them into stacked wilds. Each time one of the wild reels is part of a winning combo, it will increase the number in the display by +1 until it reaches the maximum for the reel – 5 on reel two, 7 on reels three and four, 9 on reels five and six. The difference to the base game is that any removed wild reels will be replaced with wilds again instead of regular pay symbols, providing more potential to score multiple winners in the same free spin.

Final Verdict

If the original Dazzle Me wasn’t your cup of tea (it wasn’t mine), chances are the Megaways version won’t tingle your gambling buds either. Other than avalanching symbols and the increased bet ways there is nothing new that would make this NetEnt creation an attractive contender for Megaways fans.

The win potential has been confirmed with 10,000x bet and odds of roughly 1:15 million spins. The absolute maximum hit in simulations over 955 billion spins was 50,000x bet, although the odds are excruciatingly low at 1:318 billion spins (not a typo). Considering the low probabilities, we took the 10,000x as max win.
