Review
Get ready for an encounter with the famous Loch Ness monster on the slot from Red 7 Mobile, powered by the SG Digital platform from parent company Scientific Games. Nessie’s Treasure Mega Drop Quest will take you to the Scottish Lakes for a fun reel ride with wild substitutions, Nessie’s Bonus Wheel, a dropping Barrels feature and a free spins round that can lead to wins of up to 1,250 times your bet. And not to forget, the progressive three Mega Drop Jackpots which are pooled from all participating casinos.
Slot Details
Nessie’s Treasure Mega Drop Quest is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols from left to right only. You can face the fabled monster on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 200 credits per spin. The game has medium variance with a default RTP of 96.11% when the Mega Drop Jackpots are activated or 94.11% without them.
Firing up the game will take you to a waterfall with rocks flanking the frameless game window. A variety of bonus symbols is seen floating towards the waterfall and will randomly drop on to the grid. To the right are the displays for the three jackpots together with the option to change the team that plays for one of them (more to that in a moment). A traditional Scottish bagpipe soundtrack reminds us of the location of Loch Ness.
The pay symbols start at the low end with the card suits – hearts, spades, diamonds and the clubs – awarding 2x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by binoculars, red hats, sporrans, the pearls and treasure chests. Hit five on a line to win 4x to 15x your stake.
A golden icon marked with an artistic ‘W’ is the wild and top payer, substituting for all regular symbols and yielding 25x your bet for five across the reels. Nessie is the second wild, appearing on reel five in the base game and reels one, three and five in the free spins. A Celtic-themed icon acts as the bonus symbol.
Nessie’s Treasure Mega Drop Quest Slot Features
Anyone who knows the legend and tales surrounding Loch Ness will expect a feature-filled slot to match the temperament of the fabled monster. Red 7 went to great length to do just that and included a frenzy of modifiers and bonus games.
The most apparent one is the Barrel feature as it relates to the grid on top of the game window where you can see a range of barrels floating on the water. Watch out for Nessie landing on reel five as the monster will swim out to collect all barrels in view. Please note, that they are bet sensitive and will be replaced should you change your stake.
- Gold Barrels: Contain a number of Free Spins, which can appear on any position of the barrel grid.
- Purple Barrels: Awards a spin on Nessie’s Wheel. Only appears on column five of the barrel grid
- Brown Barrels: Are wild symbols that will be mirrored onto the reels. However, they cannot appear on column five.
Collecting a purple barrel will get you one spin on Nessie’s Wheel. Up to three can be won in a single game round. The wheel contains 10 segments with coin wins between 10x and 500x your total bet. It will spin once to determine your prize. The wheel can be triggered during the free spins.
Landing bonus scatters on reels one, three and five in one spin will trigger 10 Free Spins. Alternatively, opening a gold barrel will award the indicated number of free spins. During the feature, Nessie can appear reels one, three and five, thus increasing the chance to collect the bonus barrels.
Mega Drop Jackpots are a new type of progressive jackpots – Minor, Major – Epic – with 2% of each bet contributing to them. You can either choose to play alone that will see you winning the entire jackpot if it is randomly triggered or choose to play in a syndicate for one of the three jackpots. Should any member trigger the respective jackpot, then all members who contributed to it in the last 15 minutes will win a share of the jackpot amount. You can change your choice before the start of any spin but please note, should you aim for syndicate play then you will be eligible to win only the respective jackpot.
Final Verdict
Nessie is alive and kicking, well, at least on this feature-rich slot from Red 7 Mobile. Plenty of extras, surprises and not to forget the jackpots, which in itself are a novel way to implement progressives into the gameplay. Theoretically, you could summon all your gaming friends to start a syndicated session to chase a specific jackpot. Overall, well designed and definitely worth a try.
