Super Wild Megaways

Retro is the new chic, even when you slap a modern Megaways engine on a good ol’ fruit machine as StakeLogic is demonstrating with the Super Wild Megaways slot. From cherries to melons and from bells to lucky 7s, the entire classic suite of symbols is making an appearance on up to 117,649 ways with reactive wins, a Scatter Mystery feature and a free spins round with progressive multipliers and unlimited retriggers that can lead to wins of up to 24,635 times your stake.

Slot Details

Super Wild Megaways is a video slot with six reels, up to 7 rows and 324 to 117,649 ways to win, using the licensed game engine from Big Time Gaming.  You can spin the retro reels on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 20 credits or 40 credits, based on the operator. The RTP of this medium to high variance game is set at 96.07%. Beware, StakeLogic offers the game with a secondary RTP setting of 94.xx%, always check the help file to find out which version you will be playing.

The amount of ways is randomly determined for every spin by selecting between two and seven pay symbols for each reel, creating a virtually unlimited number of possible scenarios that will make each spin a unique occurrence. A display in the top left corner shows the total amount of active ways for the current round. Wins are paid for two to six adjacent matching symbols from left to right only. The symbols from a winning combination are part of a reaction which will see them explode to make room for new symbols to drop into place. This continues as long as a new winner lands after a reaction. Wins are accumulated from all reactions and paid in one amount before the next spin starts.

Loading the game for the first time could have you fooled that you mistakenly opened an old fruit slot with the usual rudimentary symbols and graphics that resemble a physical slot machine from yesteryear. StakeLogic went to great length to keep the classic charm while updating their creation with the modern Megaways engine to bring it into the 21st century. You’ll have fruit symbols and lucky 7s spinning on white reel strips while a digital display shows the current win in the known red colours.

The pay symbols are just as classic. In ascending order of value they are cherries, lemons, oranges, pears, plums, bells, strawberries, grapes,  melons and lucky 7s. As usual, on most Megaways slots, the top symbol yields 50x your bet for a single six of a kind. A blue star marked with the word itself is the wild symbol, appearing on reels two to six as well as the top reel only and performing the usual substitution duties. A golden crown acts as the mystery scatter while an icon with the slot acronym ‘SW’ is the feature scatter.

Super Wild Megaways Slot Features

Gone are the days when we were spinning simple fruit and other classic symbols on three or five reels in the hope that they will land on one of the few pay lines that were the norm back in the days. However, StakeLogic showcases with this creation that the good ol’ fruit machines can be still attractive to play in the 21st century, which admittedly is to the most part due to the combination with the immensely popular Megaways engine under licence from Big Time Gaming.

The action on the reels starts off with the Scatter Mystery feature. Land three to six Crown mystery scatters in one spin sequence and you will pocket a mystery prize ranging from 2x to 500x your total stake in the main game and up to 200x in the free spins. Naturally, the more scatters the higher the prizes, although none of them is huge but welcome balance boosters in the base game and potentially much more worth in the free spins round.

Having four SW scatters in view at the end of a spin sequence will trigger 12 Free Spins with each additional scatter awarding +5 extra free spins. More can be retriggered during the round, no limits. The feature starts off with the usual Megaways win multiplier of x1 and increases by x1 after each winning reaction, again, no limits. Any mystery prizes won will be multiplied by the currently active multiplier.

The Gamble option is making a return as on most StakeLogic slots lately. You can gamble any win in the base game or from the free spins via a coin toss, up to five times in a row or max 250 times your stake. A small bar at the bottom displays the history of your last gambles, which some players might see as a guide.  We recommend some caution on using the option as losing the gamble repeatedly will have quite an impact on your playing balance.

Finally, for those impatient among us and lucky enough to be residing in a country that has not restricted feature buys, StakeLogic included an SW Buy Free Spins button. Clicking on it will bring up four options – 25x, 50x, 75x or 100x your bet will get you a bonus round with 5, 8, 10 and 12 free spins respectively.

Final Verdict

Super Wild Megaways is a testament to the success of the game engine originally developed and trademarked by Big Time Gaming. Such is the popularity that studios who licensed the engine have to dig deep into their creativity chests to come up with a slot that will raise more than just an eyebrow in the casino community. While Red Tiger released a similar design with Mystery Reels Megaways, StakeLogic has gone full retro to the smallest detail. Some will love it, some with loath it. Although, the overall win potential of 24,635 times might convince even some loathers to give it a spin.
