How to Play Crystal Caverns Megaways Slot
Dress well because it can get cold down there and let’s go gem hunting, just don’t forget to set the bets beforehand.
- Hit +/- buttons will draw up a panel where you can increase or decrease coins per line and coin value that will constitute the bet, or you can simply increase the total bet value.
- Reels will start moving the moment you hit Spin button
- Autoplay opens up a panel where you can choose Turbo Spin, Quick Spin and the number of automated spins.
- Buy Free Spins will buy you a way into the bonus feature instead of waiting for the regular trigger.
Slot Features
Wild symbol is going to help you form winning combos by substituting for all the symbols except for the Scatter. Wilds can appear on all regular reels, and top row, but it cannot appear on reel 1. In addition, whenever Wild hits on any reel that is not the top row, it will expand to fill the whole reel vertically.
Increasing Multiplier
The game comes with Tumble mechanics, and every time a tumble happens during the base game, a multiplier will increase by x1 and will apply to the win of that tumble cycle. Once tumbles are complete, the multiplier will reset back.
Free Spins
Hitting 4 or more Scatters will trigger the Free Spins feature and award 12, 16 or 20 spins, depending on the number of triggering Scatters. The feature will start with x1 multiplier and each tumble will increase it by x1. Additional 3 or more Scatters will award extra 5 spins.
Summary
Crystal Caverns looks good, however, the slot overall seems stale and unimaginative. There is nothing particularly interesting in terms of design or gameplay that stands out. The only thing that sort of speaks in favour of this game is x10000 max win potential and 96.46% RTP. Overall, a game that works fine, looks fine, but lacks that something, and can get somewhat tedious, but give it a shot and let us know what you think of it.
Crystal Caverns Megaways is the latest game release from Pragmatic Play that was released in December. As I've said before, I've been slowly becoming a bit of a fan of Pragmatic Play and I'm eager to try their new releases. Besides, some of their new games are quite good and I'm always on the lookout for a good Megaways game.
Crystal Caverns Megaways is a slot with Megaways mechanic and frosty theme. It's definitely a nice game to be released around the holiday period, but it's also not a Christmas slot and the graphics are sleek and easy on the eyes. And after playing this game a few times now, I can definitely say it's a slot that I'll be playing in the future, not only in the winter season.
What I like about this game is the simplicity of it. There's no base game feature and only a free spins bonus round, yet I find the gameplay quite interesting. As a Megaways game, every time there's a win in the base game, the winning symbols cascade and new ones come into place, which is quite the standard for a Megaways game. However, what I really like is the multiplier feature- after every win on the base game, the multiplier increases. So if you get several consecutive wins, you can get big multipliers on the base game. And as it's with Megaways games- all it takes is a good winning combination across the reels. Also, whenever there's a wild on the reels, it will expand to cover the entire reel, which has definitely helped to get decent base game hits. And from my experience, I've managed to get the multiplier up to 5x and 6x and because of that had a few wins over 50x bet on base game alone.
Aside from that, there's also a free spins bonus round. You trigger it by getting 4 scatters anywhere on the reels - that gives you 12 free spins. And there's also a bonus buy option- in this case I quite like it as it only costs 80x your bet, not the usual 100x and more. And I've bought the bonuses a few times since getting the 4 scatters in the base game can take a while. The free spins themselves are the same as the base game- after every win, the multiplier increases. I had heard some players comparing it to Bonanza and it's true- the feature is simple but effective. So far I've only had a few wins over 100x bet on the free spins, but I'd say on average they pay 40x-60x bet, which isn't too bad. And considering the wilds, increasing multipliers and Megaways mechanic itself- this game has good winning potential.
Overall, I quite like this game- starting from the sleek game design to the simplistic yet entertaining bonus feature. I also like the fact that the base game has the increasing multiplier feature, as it makes the game interesting and stands out from the typical Megaways games. That being said, while I'm still chasing my big win in this game, I'll be definitely playing it more in the future.
