Slot Features
Beer Pints is the Wild symbol in the game that can substitute for all the other symbols in the game except the Scatter, and substituting it can increase your chances of forming a winning combo.
Wild Upgrade
On any spin between 1 and 4 high-paying symbols will be selected randomly for the feature. When you spin the reels and they come to a halt, all instances of these high-paying symbols that happen to be on the reels at that time will get transformed into Wild symbols.
Wild Beer Reels
On any spin, one or more reels will get randomly selected to become Wild reels and all symbols on that reel will turn Wild, however, the selected reels can only be reels 2, 4 and 6.
Free Spins
You will need to get at least 4 Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature. The number of triggering Scatters will determine the number of awarded spins, so at the initial trigger you can win 10, 12 or 15 spins for 4, 5 or 6 scatters, respectively. You can also retrigger the Free Spins feature by hitting additional 3 Scatters which will get you 5 extra spins.
Summary
Megahops Megaways is set in a cosy little pub that will really give you that festive atmosphere you get at beer festivals. The game comes with 96.7% RTP on features that heavily rely on Wild symbols. It is a highly volatile slot with max exposure of x8888 the bet which is not that bad at all even when we take into account that the gameplay is slightly repetitive.
A slot from Booming Games and has a beer theme and it’s another megaways slot of which there be hundreds by now and this one has the very common 117649 megaways and 6 reels with a super player friendly min bet of just 0.10 per spin, you can’t ask for more than that. Max win cap is great at 8791x which is not too bad for a slot but there are other megaways that have bigger max win caps just saying.
There is indeed a free spins feature with this slot and it is achieved with 4 scatters, not 3 but at least 4 which makes it more challenging since it is a megaways slot and they do have a design of taking more spins to trigger features. Good news is if you get more than 4 scatters you will start with more free spins because 5 scatters will get you 12 spins (not 10) and 6 scatters will get you 15 free spins to start and not only that you also get 5 extra spins during the feature if you get 3 or more scatters. During the base game and feature you will get these random features called Wild Upgrades and you will get the lady to yell out Wild Upgrade! And then some symbols become wilds and that pays good from what I have seen if you get an all the way connection.
The music and sounds effects are German type of music with something you would hear at those Oktober festivals with lots of beer and every kind of German food being served.
My sessions on this particular slot have resulted in me having to wait a whopping 775 spins to trigger my very first feature on this slot (5 scatters) and it ended up paying just over 39x well well well it is a megaways after all and they sure like to sometimes go into drought mode. But there is the base game which can pay more than the features and that is what happened in my case when a base paid 44x (actually happened twice, in each of my sessions).
Okay I will say it that it is a high variance megaways slot and it will make you wait for the free spins features just cause you need those 4 scatters or more. It’s maths and that's the issue is the bonus frequency is high and would have to be over 1 in 400s or more. There is no bonus buy option so you will need to grind the base game to get the free spins feature but I suggest playing some other megaways slots even though this one is only 0.10 per spin! Okay if you are fan of beer then play this.
