The Monopoly Megaways slot may look the part but what interests us most are its bonus features. First off, the slot has a Wild which is represented by the M symbol but no scatter symbol. As the name implies, the game makes use of BTG’s notorious Megaways mechanism. What this means is that when players hit a winning combination, related symbols ‘explode’ and are replaced with new ones. Thus, players are given additional chances to win. The reactions feature is only half of the story though and the slot game has a lot more to offer as we’ll see below.
Reel Adventure Feature
Big Time Gaming has looked to bring their Monopoly Megaways slot as close to the original board game as possible. Here’s where their Reel Adventure feature comes into play. With every winning payline triggered, Mr Monopoly moves around the board. Players will be awarded, according to where he lands as shown in the list below.
- Train Stations – the first time you land on one you will own it
- Utilities – the first time you land one you will own it
- GO – the next spin is at Max Megaways
- Community Chest – you are sent to a random property
- Chance – either awards you with a spin at Max Megaways, triggers free spins or send you to a random property
- Properties – if you land on one on your 3rd reaction a house is added. Every extra reaction awards another house.
As shown in the list above, the slot works in a similar way to the board game. The biggest difference comes in its free spins feature which we’ll take a look at below.
Monopoly Megaways Free Spins
Free Spins for the Monopoly Megaways slot can be triggered in several ways. Each time a 5th house is added to a property though, players initially receive 8 free spins. Every house beyond this gives players an additional free spin. During this feature, Mr. Monopoly continues to move around the board. Once again, according to where he lands, players receive additional bonus features. There’s also an Unlimited Win Multiplier which starts at 1 and increases by 1 for each utility owned. This further increases when landing on properties but we’ll take a look at all of that in the list below.
- Train Stations – 1 additional free spin for each station owned
- Utilities – increases multiplier by 1 for each utility owned
- GO – the next free spin is at Max Megaways
- Community Chest – you are sent to a random property
- Chance – either awards you with a spin at Max Megaways, triggers 5 more free spins or sends you to a random property
- Properties – increases multiplier by 1 for each house owned on specific property
Once the free spins round is over, players lose ownership of all train stations and utilities as well as all visited properties. The good news is that retriggering the feature will give players an additional 3 free spins, over and above the initial 8.
