Mega Don Slot Review

Mega Don Slot Overview

Mega Don is a new casino slot from Play'n GO where we head out to the deep blue sea, where giant beasts rule among the sea life. Among a wide variety of sharks, there is one that stands out from the crowd and that is the great white shark, the Mega Don. It is truly gigantic and the name of the game plays on the name of the extinct species Megalodon, which was estimated to have a length of 15 to 18 meters, that is, about 3 times as long as a great white shark. While you can take comfort in the fact that you're behind a screen and won't have to swim among these beasts, it's still a highly volatile place we're in. This high volatility, however, can result in sudden big wins of up to 10000X the bet. Let's find out what you can expect to see during the spins.

Mega Don is a video slot from Play'n GO that has 5 reels, 4 rows and 1024 ways to win. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.10 and a Max.bet of 100.

Mega Don has a high volatility, where you can win up to 10000X the bet.

On this risky site among gigantic sharks, we have a couple of features to help us in our quest for the bigger wins. The features are Upgrading Symbol, Wild Symbol and Shark Feast.

Mega Don Slot Information

The design of the game is based on a shark theme, where we meet a hammerhead shark and a great white shark, among others. In the background of the reels, you can see the deep blue sea, where colorful fish and sharks can land on the reels during the spins. You can play this slot on all the devices notepads, desktops and mobiles. You create a winning combination by landing 3 or more of the same symbol type on adjacent reels starting at the leftmost reel.

The lower paying symbols are fish in the colors purple, blue, green and yellow. Landing 5 of the same symbol type pays between 0.4X to 0.6X the bet. The medium paying symbols are fish in blue and turquoise. If you land 5 of the same symbol type, it pays 1X the bet. The highest paying symbols are sharks in brown, green and blue. Landing 5 of the same symbol type pays between 2X to 4X the bet. The highest paying symbol pays already when you land two of it, which then pays 0.5X the bet. The wild symbol consists of shark teeth surrounding the word wild while the scatter symbols consist of a warning sign with an eating shark on it. Let's find out what the features do.

The game's wild symbol helps to enable more winning combinations, where it substitutes for other paying symbols, except for the scatter symbols.

Mega Don Slot Conclusion

It certainly proves to be a highly volatile place that we are staying in, where the balance can shift greatly during the spins. This tendency to generate sudden big bonanzas is therefore very nerve-wracking, but it is mostly the taste of the game's potential that one gets to experience within the base game. There you can land upgrading symbols and wild symbols, which together with the shark symbols can generate festive wins. So, although there is a relatively high threshold to reach and activate the bonus game, which is, on average 1 in 350 spins, it is usually an adrenaline-filled moment that finally awaits there.

Within the bonus game, you are welcomed with free spins and also get a variety of upgrading symbols that become active during the whole feature. The number of both of these is based on the number of scatter symbols you land and the real treat here is that you can retrigger extra free spins and upgrading symbols. This can result in larger parts of the reels being covered with high paying shark symbols if you have managed to collect a lot of upgrading symbols. Unlike the high number of spins usually required to obtain the max win, they have chosen a much better amount here, where it takes an average of 1 in 384196 spins to scoop up the max win. The game has a good sized RTP, assuming the maximum of 96.20% is used, but always be sure to check what your gaming operator uses. On the whole, it's a game that has a nerve-wracking existence, where the sharks can help make the visit memorable. However, one would have wished that some extra feature had been added to the game to give it a bit more variety and entertainment, as they had for example in their game Hotel Yeti-Way.

Mega Don is a slot where a fast-paced gaming adventure among sharks can yield really nice wins, which occur relatively often.
