Mystery Reels Megaways Slot Overview

Fruit themed slots continue to roll off the production line and prove their ability to entertain. Red Tiger Gaming has taken the successful Mystery Reels slot and upped the stakes by wedding it to the Megaways game engine.

This has skyrocketed the number of pay lines from a humble 5 to an astonishing 117,649 ways to win. There are more reels and rows than ever, adding to the drastic makeover. A makeover can be a major gamble in itself. Sometimes a new look brings out the magic that was already there and accentuates it. Other times it can be downright scary.

So what’s it going to be with the new Mystery Reels Megaways slot then? Let’s fire it up for a spin to find out.

First Impressions

It doesn’t take long to realise that you are dealing with a whole different beast this time around.

The original Mystery Reels was your typical 5×3 setup, with 5 pay lines and a few extra features thrown in for good measure. The updated Megaways version keeps much of the original but beefs up the game by adding an extra reel and two more rows.

This being a Megaways driven game, you don’t always get 7 rows working on all reels at once. A reel might have anywhere between 2 and 7 symbols on it which mixes up the gameplay and keeps it interesting. We have this dynamic to thank for the massive increase in the ways to win. As the reels stop spinning the ticker at the top left indicates how many Megaways are used on each spin. It doesn’t affect the game knowing this, but it is interesting seeing how high it goes.

Despite the seeming complexity, it is a deceptively straight forward concept. Simply have the same kind of symbols anywhere on the reels from left to right to create a winning combination. As long as there is at least three of a kind you are in the money.

And speaking of money – high volatility has been combined with a high hit rate for fab winning opportunities. Cap it all off with a max win of 10,000x the stake (double the original), and there are plenty of beautiful rewards here to spin for.

Familiar Audio and Visuals

Like all good sequels, the follow up contains elements of the original while adding new bits to make an impact.

If you have played the first Mystery Reels slot, you will instantly recognise the sequel. The symbols look similar – including the golden apple. The reel set up makes it clear that we have something new on our hands, however. So, let’s hit the spin and see what happens.

If Megaways is something new; it uses a cascading wins system. One spin can set off a bunch of winning combinations as symbols vanish and are replaced by fresh ones. By using it, Red Tiger Gaming have jazzed up Mystery Reels, and it fits perfectly with the game’s fast pace.

So the gameplay has moved on but fans of the original will be stoked to see that much from the first version has been retained.

Fruit, Fruit, and More Fruit

The first thing to do is set the stake. Casual gamers can start from 0.10 coins per spin, or it can be set as high as 100 coins. Combine this with the potential max win, and we are talking about a shed load of coins in your pocket.

When it comes to symbols this is one game that is proud of its fruit slot heritage. It even borrows other classic icons as its high pay symbols.

Fruits start the paytable off with 3-6 of a kind which is needed to make a winner. All the favs are here – cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, grapes, and watermelons. These bright and colourful icons are worth from 0.1x up to 1.8x the stake.

Horseshoes, liberty bells, and stars make up the mid-range with values from 0.3x to 7.5x the stake.

Lucky 7 is the kingpin here. Just 2 are needed for 2x the stake. Get lucky and land 6 of these and you’ll nab yourself a hefty 50x the wager.

Mysteries and Free Spins

The symbol that lends itself to the title of the game is a golden apple stamped with a question mark. When activated, the mystery symbol travels across the reels, cloning itself in the process. Once done, each clone transforms into a random paytable symbol for more wins.

Land three of the Free Spin symbols to unlock the bonus game. Before the free spins begin, the player can gamble for the chance of obtaining more spins or go with what they have. There is a chance of receiving up to 40 free spins! The odds of winning more spins in the gamble are good so it is darn tempting to hit that gamble button.

Free spins come with a multiplier that increases by one with each winner that lands. And three more scatters awards 5 extra free spins. The bonus game is where the big money is made and the chance doesn’t come around too often. When it does though it’s a game changer – and a potential life changer.

What makes Mystery Reels Megaways Slot So Special?

Well, it’s not originality in the theme department that makes this slot special. Sequels often need to try harder to win fans over, but the danger is that developers try too hard and the result falls flat. The good news is that this is not the case with the updated Mystery Reels slot. Red Tiger Gaming has taken the best bits and enhanced the experience with a modern gaming twist.

The result is an epic fruit slot that holds its head up high as it carries on the illustrious tradition. There is still plenty of life left in fruit slots as innovation continues to make them shine.

This is a rock solid fruit slot that makes the most of the Megaways engine. With a fantastic top prize, blistering free spins, and epic pace, Red Tiger Gaming has wedded nostalgia with the future to create a special slot.
