Medallion Megaways

Welcome to a luxurious tent in the middle of the desert, a rather unusual setting for Medallion Megaways, a 6x6 grid video slot with cascading reels from Fantasma Games that utilise the Megaways™ gaming engine licensed from Big Time Gaming...

...where the number of ways to win varies from between 64 and 46,656 with each spin!

You will come face to face with varying features, such as

• Expanding Wilds with Multipliers
• Void Respin Feature
• Bonus Round

The title has medium to high variance with an RTP of 96.23%...

...with stake sizes that range from 0.10 to 80.00 credits, making it accessible for players of all-sized bankrolls.

And with an Autoplay option, you could choose 5 to 500 consecutive spins with a number of options as to when the run should stop!

Luxuriously elegant game with excellent win potential!

Design

The action takes place inside a dark, purple-toned tent in the background of the frameless game window...

...while a quirky oriental soundtrack is only interrupted by the usual reel sounds and win count noises.

Microgaming partners Fantasma Games have managed to forge quite an atmospheric setting with plenty of cosiness and warmth...

...with lanterns above, comfortable seats with various cushions on them and tables around.

And if you're impressed by the airy ambience here, just wait until you trigger the bonus.

That's where the magic happens!

In the centre is the grid with gem symbols and below it are the Wild, Free Spins, and Respins buttons.

The pay symbol set comprises a range of coloured gemstones that change in size according to the random amount of ways to win.

The maximum size is three symbols high.

Three dark coloured unmarked gems are low-paying symbols…

...followed by blue, purple and red gems marked with a star.

The premium symbols are a green gem marked with a triangle, a blue gem marked with a moon crescent, a red gem with a golden star and a black gem marked with a smaller orange gem.

The Wild is a red and blue crystal.

The Medallion is a sort of a Scatter that appears randomly on the reels and can activate Feature Stones.

Betting Options

Like all Megaways slots, the number of ways to win varies depending on how many symbols are on the reels at once.

There can be 64 winning ways up to 46,656!

The Avalanche feature means that winning symbols are removed following a winning spin.

The avalanches keep on coming as long as a new winner is created.

Each successive avalanche win also increases a multiplier by 1x. A winless drop returns the multiplier to 1x.

There are also a couple of mysterious medallions to keep an eye out for here.

These can appear following any base game spin to activate (golden medallion) or deactivate (silver medallion) the feature amulets...

... which are positioned below the reel set, and their corresponding features.

The Wild and Respin features are active as default when you start playing the slot.

The Wild symbol is the rainbow gem that can appear anywhere on reels 2 to 5 and substitute for all other symbols except the void and respin symbol.

It can expand, but also turn into a multiplier wild when the relevant feature is active.

The lowest in payout are the 3 dark-coloured square gems which return from 0.10 to 1 time your stake for 3 to 6 symbols.

Medium values have the blue, purple, and red square-shaped gems that pay from 0.20 to 2 times your stake for 3 to 6 symbols on adjacent positions from left to right.

The premium symbols are 4 square gems.

The green gem with the golden triangle inside pays from 0.50 to 6 times your stake, and the blue gem with the crescent inside pays from 0.50 to 8.

The red square-shaped gem with the star gives you from 1 to 15...

... while the top player is the black gem with the round orange smaller gem inside that pays from 2 to 30 times your stake for combinations with 3 to 6 symbols, respectively.

Special Features

There are several impressive bonuses in this game...

...for you to both enjoy it luxurious design and cash in on some very generous wins as you spin the reels!

Feature Stones are the main bonus in this slot, which can be triggered at the end of any spin:

• Expanding Wild - all wilds on the reels will expand and award a random multiplier worth between 2x and 6x. Land 2 multiplier wilds together and the boost is combined. For example, 2x and 6x multipliers would deliver a 12x boost.
• Void Respin - a random number of symbols, between 2 and 10, will be removed and new symbols fall, except for wilds and winning symbols.
• Free Spins Feature - when the Medallion activates the Free Spins stone, you will get 10 free spins where both the expanded wild and the void respin is active.

Our Take

This is definitely a game worth playing, just for the look alone, but...

...features offer plenty of variety as well!

So, if you like the Megaways mechanic but fancy some fresh features attached, then this title is a slot to consider.

The medium variance is high enough to keep things interesting, as you can win 23,360 times your stake on each spin or free spin though!
