Merry Megaways Slot - Review, Free & Demo Play

Merry Megaways is a video slot with 6-reel and the number of rows here can change from 2 to 7, plus the paylines also change from 324 to 200,704, courtesy of the Megaways mechanics. Furthermore, the game has an additional, Horizontal Reel, which is set at the top of reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. On this reel, there are 4 additional symbols and it also adds to the winning ways, which significantly helps you out with a win.

While all this is good, we can see how such mechanics and non-fixed rows and paylines can confuse less experienced players, which is why we highly advise first checking out the demo of the Merry Megaways, to help you learn how to play and adapt to the gameplay of this slot. Plus, we can show you how to navigate this Christmas-themed slot!

1. Open the Merry Megaways slots and, after it loads, select whether you want to play with or without a sound, then, hit "Continue"
2. The first thing we advise you to do is set your bet, which you can do by clicking the coin symbol on your right, and here you can select a stake in the range from €0.10 to €20
3. Click the icon with 9 dots and here you can either open the menu (the papers icon) or access the settings (cogwheel icon)
4. Don't forget to take a look at the value of symbols! To check out the paytable, click the symbol with a cup
5. Merry Megaways has a bonus buy option. You can access this feature if you click on the start icon at the top of the screen on the right. Here, if you buy one of the options on offer you can start the game with a free spins mode activated, but if you don't want to purchase anything, then skip this option and go to the next one
6. Click the spin or autospin icon and the reels will start spinning. Best of luck!

Most of the video slots nowadays have an RTP of at least 96%, so the Return to Player of the Merry Megaways – which is at 95.9% – is a bit below average though not too much so it's not really much of a deal breaker.

Other than that, the volatility of the Merry Megaways slot is high, so here, you can expect larger wins, which will occur less often.

Iron Dog Studio is a project of the hugely popular software provider – 1x2 Network – and it has been operating since 2017, creating a variety of good content. The portfolio of Iron Dog Studio is quite impressive and features a lot of amazing games, such as Rum & Raiders, Rock the Reels Megaways, Gods of Asgard Megaways, and others.

Iron Dog Studio is also a respectable provider, which works completely legally and has been licensed and tested for quality by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain.

Tumbles

After the win occurs and the win pays out, the symbols that became part of the win will be destroyed, and all remaining symbols will Tumble in and replace those that were destroyed.

If the new symbols that land on reels will also form a win, this feature will occur again and will keep happening until there are no more wins.

Additionally, every Tumble win will increase the Free Spins Multiplier by 1x during the Free Spins feature.

Free Spins

The Free Spins feature will be triggered after at least 4 Scatters land on the reels after which you will get 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 FS.

Lucky Last Spin

If you win the last Free Spin, you will also get the Lucky Last Spin feature. Then, if the additional spin brings you a win, you will get another free spin and this can happen many times again.

Bonus Upgrader

Bonus Upgrader will help you increase the likelihood of Santa's Sacks and Christmas Crackers symbols landing on the reels.

There are several versions of Bonus Upgrader – High and Super. The High Bonus Upgrader will be activated if you buy 15 free spins and Super is enabled after buying 20 FS.

When the frequency changes from Normal to High or Super, you increase the likelihood of Santa's Sacks and Christmas Crackers.

Bonus Buy

You can also purchase free spins with the help of the Bonus Buy. Depending on how many free spins you buy, and what your current bet is, the price will vary.

As we mentioned before, we highly recommend that you first play the demo of the Merry Megaways, which we added to this review. The demo is a completely free version of the slot, in which you can play with all the bonus games and learn how they work, but without the need to find a casino and/or pay.

While the demo is good and can help you understand how Merry Megaways works and decide whether you like this slot, keep in mind that the demo doesn't pay real money if you win so it has only an introductory purpose.

Merry Megaways doesn't have a jackpot, however, the grand prize of this slot is still very good, and here you can win up to 20,000x of your total bet. To help you out, the slot added a couple of features that can assist you. The Tumbles mode alone is extremely useful and allows for many win combinations. Plus, it's even possible to skip the Scatter collection process and just use bonus buy to activate Free Spins mode which offers a lot of winning chances.

Naturally, the possibility to get more free spins, additional reels, and up to 200,704 possible paylines would also come in handy if you want to win a good amount.

Although the vibe and the design of the Merry Megaways are very nice and detailed, this is not the only reason why we think this game is amazing and worthy of your attention.

In addition to that, Merry Megaways also has quite a hefty big prize. The features here are not only helpful but in a way, a bit challenging, which would be really thrilling and refreshing for more experienced gamers. Plus the option to purchase a bonus and get additional free spins is always a welcome addition to any video slot.

So, we believe that Merry Megaways is indeed a very cool (no pun intended) Christmas theme, which will melt anyone’s frozen heart!
