Super Wild Megaways

Super Wild Megaways Demo by Stakelogic

Super Wild Megaways dresses its reels up as a fruit machine on a casino floor. A red sunburst panel surrounds six white reels, an LED-style WIN display fills the top-right corner, and the symbols include cherries, lemons, bells, and a red 7. Behind that front, the slot plays as a modern Megaways game. Reel heights change from spin to spin, up to 117,649 ways can pay, every win cascades, and two different scatters split the feature work between them. Stakelogic released it in January 2020.

Features and Free Play

The Horizontal Top Reel

Four extra positions run in a row across the top of the cabinet, above reels 2 to 5. Each one counts toward the reel beneath it, so the top reel adds a symbol to each of the four middle reels whenever this Megaways slot works out its ways. Its tiles show fruit symbols too, each in a frame of its own.

The star Wild can replace any symbol apart from the two scatters, the crown and the SW. That leaves both feature symbols to land on their own.

Crown Mystery Prizes

The crown on its blue tile is the Scatter Mystery symbol. Three or more in view pay a prize wherever they appear, and how that prize is set depends on whether they land in regular play or in the bonus game. In regular play, the game picks a random amount from a range that widens with each extra crown. In the bonus game, each count pays one fixed amount.

The bonus-game column swaps a spread for a known number. Six or more crowns there pay 200x, while the same six in regular play can land anywhere between 40x and 500x. Three crowns follow the same pattern on a smaller scale, a fixed 10x in the bonus game against a draw from 2x to 50x outside it.

SW Scatters and Free Spins

The red SW tile is the second scatter and the one that opens free spins. Four or more in view start 12 free spins, plus 5 more for each additional SW in view. During the round, three SW scatters add 5 spins and four add 10, and retriggers are possible.

A Multiplier Per Cascade

Free spins bring a Win Multiplier with them. It starts at x1 and rises by 1 with each cascade. Because each win cascades, a chain of wins in the round lifts it one step per cascade.

The fruit is where Super Wild Megaways falls short. The red 7 pays 50x for six and the watermelon 7.5x, but the other eight fruits pay 2x or less even for six of a kind. With so much of the table at 2x or under, the crowns and the SW free spins are the reasons to play it. The Win Multiplier is the strongest idea in the design, yet its description stops at a start of x1 and a step of 1, which leaves a player little to plan around. Two scatters with separate jobs lift the game above a plain fruit cabinet, and that fruit table keeps it at 3.6/5.
