Royal Mint Megaways

Royal Mint Megaways, developed by Big Time Gaming and released in February 2020, is a six-reel slot that utilizes the Megaways™ mechanic to offer up to 117,649 ways to win. Set against the backdrop of the UK’s Royal Mint, the game features a luxurious theme centered around wealth and opulence.

Gameplay and Features

The game employs the Triple Reaction™ mechanic, incorporating two horizontal reels above and below the main six reels. This setup enhances the cascading reels feature, where winning symbols are removed, allowing new symbols to drop in and potentially create consecutive wins. The cascading continues until no new winning combinations appear.

Symbols

Symbols include standard playing card icons (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) as lower-value symbols, and colored gemstones as higher-value symbols. The purple gem is the most valuable, offering significant payouts for matching combinations.

Free Spins and Heartstopper™ Feature

Landing four scatter symbols, represented by the letters M, I, N, and T, triggers 12 free spins. Each additional scatter adds four more spins. During free spins, a win multiplier starts at 1x and increases by 1x with each cascading win, with no upper limit.

The Heartstopper™ Enhanced Free Spins feature is activated by collecting gold bars, which are awarded when three scatter symbols land without triggering free spins. After collecting 40 gold bars, the next free spins round starts with a 2x multiplier, which increases by 2x with each cascading win.

Betting and RTP

Players can place bets ranging from $0.20 to $20 per spin. The game has a Return to Player (RTP) rate of 96.48%, indicating a competitive payout percentage. The volatility is high, suggesting that wins may be less frequent but potentially more substantial.

Conclusion

Royal Mint Megaways combines the innovative Megaways™ mechanic with engaging features like cascading reels and progressive multipliers. Its luxurious theme and dynamic gameplay make it a notable addition to Big Time Gaming's portfolio.
