- A festive game with a nice, traditional design
- Lots of different wilds including sticky ones
- Unlimited win multiplier in the free spins bonus
Merry Megaways slot is one of the first we’ve reviewed in time for Christmas this year. They’ve gone for quite a traditional look though it works well. There are lots of ways to win here thanks to all the reels and rows. You have 6 reels in total, and a row on top of them covering 4 reels. All you have to do is spin the reels and try to get a winning combination from left to right using the following base symbols, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- 10 or Jack
- Queen or King
- Ace
- Milk or Pudding
- Cane or Elf
- Reindeer
- Santa
There’s also a wild symbol, shown as a Christmas present, that substitutes for all of the above symbols in a winning combination.
Merry Megaways Slot Bonuses and Features
Tumbles. As a Megaways slot, you get tumbles, meaning winning symbols are always removed from the reels to allow new ones to fall in from above on the same spin. If this creates another win, the same will happen again, until there are no more wins.
Sticky Wilds. On the top row only, Christmas cracker symbols can appear. These act as sticky wilds, substitutes for all of the above symbols in a winning combination and they will explode themselves and up to 8 other symbols at the end of a spin.
Free Spins Bonus. To trigger this, you need 4 scatter symbols anywhere on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5. During these, you can land bags of present symbols on the top row only. These will add 2, 3 or 4 wild symbols to reels 2, 3 or 4. If 2 of these appear, wilds can also appear on reel 5. For each one that appears, you also get 2 more free spins. In addition to the extra symbols, you also have an unlimited win multiplier in play. You start off the bonus with a 1x multiplier, but it increases by 1x for each tumble.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the bonus for anywhere between 45x and 500x your stake for a different number of free spins.
