Scrooge Megaways slot is the latest addition to the iSoftBet portfolio, and it comes with 6 reels and up to 117649 paylines. Ebenezer Scrooge is a legend during this season, and there’s no reason why iSoftBet shouldn’t invite you to try being the Christmas spirit ghost that will guide him through his past, present, and future to try and soften Mr. Scrooge up. If you always wanted to travel through time, this is your chance to do so here for fun, or at any iSoftBet Casino and do it for real.
How to Play Scrooge Megaways Slot
Set your bets and let’s hit the London snow-covered streets.
- Hit the Casino Chip button and it will open a panel where you can choose the bets.
- Spin will set the reels into a moving motion once you choose your bets.
- Autoplay will open up a panel and offer to choose the number of automatic spins to take, the loss limit and define a stop point when wins reach certain amount.
- Bonus Buy will get you into the bonus round instead of waiting for the regular trigger.
Slot Features
Wild symbol in the game can substitute for all the symbols in the game, except for the Scatter, to help you form win combo. However, this Wild can appear only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. Getting 5 or more Scatters will, however, trigger Scrooge Cash Respins.
Scrooge Cash Respins
Once you trigger the round you will start with 3 Scrooge respins, and if another Scatter lands, the count will be rest back to 3. Scatters that land will come with a multiplier attached, and watch out for the Past, Present and Future Scatters because they come with x10, x25 or x50 multiplier, respectively. If you fill an entire reel you will activate the multiplier for all the Scatter on that reel.
Haunting of the Christmas
This feature is randomly triggered, and once it gets triggered, it will award one of the two modifiers – Max Megaways and Bonus Award. Max Megaways will, naturally, activate the maximum number of paylines with guaranteed spin, and Bonus Award will add additional Scatters to increase your chances of triggering the bonus round.
Summary
Scrooge Megaways is not at all that special in terms of innovation and creativity but it’s a Christmas slot that is fitting the season, and when paired up with Megaways, gives a good combo. Volatility is somewhere midway between medium and high, and it comes with x12000 max win cap. You will play it on 95.98% RTP or 97% with the Bonus buy which is really decent. If you like Christmas seasonal games, then here’s one waiting on you to give it a try.
Scrooge Megaways falls part of some series that iSoftbet has released. There are a few already out, Morgana Megaways, Queen of wonderland megaways, Brides and Dracula, and many others. I think it's called the Twisted Tale series and that was created after their Extreme pay series which featured slots like Euphoria and many others. If you understand Elk with its Gold series, you will know what I mean.
Let's start first by saying we know how bad the megaways slots base games are by iSoftbet. Impossible to win and dead spins occur often. If wins do occur it's very small wins that are not satisfying, hence most players I know and myself included rather just buy the bonus features on the megaways slots by iSoftbet.
As usual, you have up to 117 649 ways to win, but you do not see it often, as you would with Big time gaming slots themselves. However, there tends to be a random feature that can award the max ways version to get 117 649 ways to pay.
The game does not have a free spins feature but rather a cash re-spins feature. You need to land 5 of the scrooge symbols to trigger the feature. Re-spins are awarded like Aztec Gold Megaways, where you can win cash prizes, and when a reel is full, a multiplier is unlocked. You can also win some Jackpots of 10x, 25x, and 50x for the mega, unlike with Aztec, you had a 1000x jackpot, and that generated huge wins.
I bought a few bonuses and never actually won huge here, only to realise this slot is not my cup of tea, as I was always winning less than I paid for the bonus unless it was not my lucky day. But I mean 5 bonuses and not 1 single profit? I was lucky to get 50x.
I would rather take my chances on Euphoria or Queen of Wonderland Megaways instead. Some of their slots seem cloned, with only the bonus round or free spins feature being different.
