Merry Christmas Megaways slot summary
Merry Christmas Megaways slot by Inspired Gaming is simply a tinsel-and-glitter and lazy clone of their Gimme Gold Megaways slot. You do get a very relaxing and nice Christmas scene behind the reels and calming seasonal music with all the symbols you expect. It's really Bonanza slot with a modifier, which in fact makes it virtually the same as Blueprint's Diamond Mine Megaways slot too in terms of maths and mechanic. So let's get on with it, will our bankroll be getting an early Xmas present here?
On the reels...
There are 2-7 rows here and 6 reels with a scrolling row of 4 individual symbols over the centre 4 reels thus giving 324-117649-ways to win on Merry Christmas Megaways slot. Wilds only appear on this top scroll so work only on reels 2-5 and symbols appear both single or stacked on the main reels. Winning tiles are replaced from above in tumbles so more than one win can occur per spin. Mystery Cracker symbols can randomly land on any spin, all revealing a similar symbol bar scatters . The 6-of-a-kind pays are Santa 50x bet, Sleigh 7.5x, Present or Bell 2x with six colour baubles of 1.75 down to 0.8x. Scatters appear on all reels as Sacks of Presents.
Free Games
Land 4 Sacks to earn 12 free games which award a 1x increasing multiplier for every winning tumble. You get an additional +2 spins for any Sacks over the four when triggering, limit 80 spins but you'll never get anywhere near that figure! Retriggers are possible in quantities of +5 or +10 spins if 3 or 4 Sacks appear on the top scroll. Your stake is 0.20 to 10.00 and the pay limit is quoted at £250,000 thus 25,000x stake must be the win cap.
Our View...
You get a RTP of 95.49% on Merry Christmas Megaways slot so I must wonder why play it when those games mentioned in the introduction give 0.5 or 1% more? That said, the artwork is good here along with sounds and overall atmosphere the game sets for you. The base game is what you would call 'normal' for a Megaways of this mechanic as is the feature frequency and average pay when you eventually get it. Nobody can argue that the increasing multiplier and high potential pay model isn't exciting. This game you may like, but in terms of slots it's nothing more than a stocking filler...
