Extreme Megaways Slot Review

Extreme Megaways Slot Overview

Extreme Megaways is a new casino slot from Stakelogic where you can take part in spins among the stars. This is a sequel to their Extreme slot, which was released already back in 2016, where its wonderful mix of features quickly became popular among players. Where you could take part in mystery multiplier cubes, dropping wilds and large amounts of free spins. It was a slot that was certainly extreme at the time, so it will be exciting to see if this slot also lives up to its name. NetEnt recently released a game with a similar title, where they took the name to a new level and added three Xs to what turned out to be worth their title. Then if it got that name to randomly appear more frequent on Google's search bar, we don’t know.

By simply dipping our toes into all the information that comes with this slot, we can see that they have chosen to add a Megaways mechanic and increase the potential maximum win to an incredible 50000X the bet. Which is a significant increase from the previous potential maximum win of 2513X the bet. It's time for us to travel to outer space and take part in the shimmering objects and their associated features.

Extreme Megaways is a video slot that has 6 reels and 2 to 7 rows. This variation in the number of rows is due to the game's Megaways mechanic, where this results in the number of ways to win will vary during the spins and you can get up to 117649 ways to win. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.20 and a Max.bet of 10, but by activating the Super Stake feature you can choose to make a Min.bet of 0.30 and a Max.bet of 15. The game's RTP is slightly lower than average, where we have an RTP of 95.62% by default and this can vary so be sure to check which RTP your gaming operator uses. It is a high volatility, where the lucky player can win up to 50000X the bet.

Within this intergalactic gaming adventure, you can take part in a bunch of wonderful features, which make the hunt for the big wins easier. The features are Wild Symbol, Cascade, Super Stake, Gamble Drop, Free Spins, 8th Reel Bonus, Gamble and Bonus Buy.

Extreme Megaways Slot Information

The game's design consists of a space theme, where we get to take part in shimmering gems and classic fruit symbols. The main focus is on the game's reels where these colorful symbols can land, while in the background you can see the dark space where the stars are shining brightly. It is a slot that can be played on the device’s notepads, desktops and mobiles. You create a win by landing 3 or more of the same symbol type on adjacent reels starting at the far left. The only symbol that only requires 2 to create a winning combination is the game's 7 symbol.

The lower paying symbols consist of gems in the colors blue, green, yellow, orange, purple and red. The higher paying symbols consist of cherries, BAR, bell and a red lucky 7. The rainbow-colored star is the game's wild symbol and the purple orb with a B is the game's scatter symbol. The yellow question mark is the game's mystery symbol. Let's find out what the features do.

Extreme Megaways Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Extreme Megaways?

You can win up to 50000X the bet.

What features are in the slot Extreme Megaways?

The features are Wild Symbol, Cascade, Super Stake, Gamble, Free Spins, Gamble Drop, 8th Reel Bonus and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

The game's wild symbol helps to create more winning combinations by substituting for other paying symbols.

Cascade

When you create a winning combination, the Cascade feature is activated. Then all the symbols that were part of the winning combination will disappear from the reels and then new symbols will fall down to cover the empty positions. This continues as long as new winning combinations are created.

Super Stake

You can choose to use the Super Stake feature by paying 1.5X the bet size. This results in more scatter symbols landing on the reels, making it easier to successfully activate the Free Spins feature.

Gamble

When you create a winning combination, you can choose to use the Gamble feature to increase your winnings. You can then choose between guessing the right color or suit on a face-down card and if you guess correctly, your winnings are doubled or quadrupled. If you instead guess wrong, the entire win will disappear.

Free Spins

By landing 4 or more scatter symbols, the Free Spins feature is activated. Depending on whether you landed 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols, you will receive 5, 7 and 10 free spins respectively. You can get extra free spins during this bonus game, where 4 scatters give 5 extra free spins, and each extra scatter symbol will give 5 extra spins. During this feature you start with a multiplier of 2X and with each cascade that takes place, this multiplier will increase by 1X. Something that makes this feature very lucrative is that at each spin you will receive a feature from the 8th Reel Bonus.

Gamble Drop

Before you start using the free spins that you received when activating the feature, you can use the Gamble wheel which can give you more spins. You can then gamble and get a maximum of 14 free spins, but at the same time there is a risk that comes with it, which can result in you losing all free spins.

8th Reel Bonus

This extra bonus reel can display 5 different symbols that have different accompanying features. They can be activated within both the base game and the bonus game, where within the bonus game you are guaranteed to activate any of these 5 at each spin made. These 5 different features are and do the following:

Destroyer = This will remove all symbols on the reels.

Random Wilds = You will get a random number of wild symbols scattered on the reels 2 to 6.

Multiplier Wilds = You will get 2 multiplier wilds placed on the reels 2 to 5. Where these can have a multiplier of 2X, 3X or 5X.

Dropping Wilds = You will get one of the reels 2 to 5 filled with wilds, you will then receive a respin each time these symbols remain on the reels, where they will be moved one step down with each new spin made.

Mystery = You will get a random amount of mystery symbols placed out. These can land on the reels 1 to 6 and they will show the same symbol type once revealed.

Bonus Buy

If you want to go directly to the free spins feature, you can use the Bonus Buy feature. You then pay 100X the bet and then the bonus will be activated where you receive 5 free spins.

Extreme Megaways Slot Conclusion

It was 5 years since we got to take part in the first edition of this slot from Stakelogic, and now they are back with a slot that has received a real upgrade. They set the bar high by increasing the potential maximum win to 50000X the bet and there is a wonderful mix of features that make it possible for us to take part in it. The Megaways mechanic that has been added gives a perfect touch to the spins, where its cascading feature makes the spins festive even if you don’t activate the other features. They have certainly spiced up this version a lot, where we have their Super Stake, Gamble and Bonus Buy features that allow the player to be involved and influence the game more.

The game's most interesting feature is without a doubt the 8th Reel Bonus which can be activated during the base game, but within the bonus game it is guaranteed to be activated at every spin made. When activated, you get to take part in one of its 5 different features that can provide multiplier wilds, mystery symbols, remove all symbols, wilds and even dropping wilds that are reminiscent of the seaweed we have seen earlier in Razor Shark. Since this 8th Reel Bonus is activated at each spin, each free spin obtained becomes very valuable and if you want to increase the number of these, you can use the Gamble Drop which can give up to 14 free spins.

With such a gigantic increase as this regarding the potential maximum profit, the volatility will of course also increase. The RTP is slightly lower, as it is at 95.62%. Its mysterious space theme is certainly reminiscent of Starburst, where you also can land wilds reminiscent of this slot. The theme really highlights the symbols and one can certainly state that an advantageous upgrade has been constructed within the workshop of this game provider.

Extreme Megaways is a slot filled with the upgrades that a sequel is expected to contain, where its wide range of features can provide very festive winnings.
