Casino game developer Pragmatic Play loves a clone, and today, we have a fresh coat of paint for the developer’s Power of Merlin Megaways slot, which wasn’t a totally original title itself, as we’ve seen many of the same features and mechanics in previous titles. Anime Mecha Megaways is a complete clone, however, right down to the RTP, maximum win, feature set, and everything else. The only difference is that, rather than a Merlin theme, we have battling Transformer-like anime mechs as the backstory and an admittedly catchy soundtrack. If you’ve played the other slot, you’ll already know, but Anime Mecha Megaways is a 6-reel Megaways slot with up to 117,649 ways to win, a 96.09% RTP, and a 40,000x the stake maximum win.
All the same, and by that, I mean identical bonus features return on Anime Mecha Megaways, and that means a horizontal reel that can deliver Lightning Bolt symbols that transform random symbols into wilds. As for the main bonus game, we have a free spins bonus with an increasing persistent win multiplier. You can trigger up to 30 spins when landing enough scatter symbols, gambling those you’ve won for more via a gamble wheel, or using the slot’s buy bonus feature.
For those who have played the original Merlin game, you might enjoy this Anime Mecha Megaways if you prefer a futuristic anime sci-fi-style theme over wizards and spells. As for everyone who hasn’t, I envy you, as it might actually feel like a new slot. Either way, check out the Anime Mecha Megaways slot demo we’ve provided below.

Theme, stakes, pays & symbols
Science fiction sells, so it’s not surprising to see it used fairly commonly for themes of online slot machines. I used to love all things sci-fi, that is, until AI started laying waste to jobs and livelihoods around the globe…but that’s a topic for another day. However, if you’re into your robots and artificial intelligence, there are plenty of other slots to choose from here on our platform. Machina Megaways from Kalamba Games is a good option, although it only offers half the maximum win of Anime Mecha Megaways, and If you were around in the 90s, you might also appreciate Playtech’s Robocop, a slot themed on the movie of the same name.
Onto the paytable of Anime Mecha Megaways, and it’s the Red Mech with a 20x the stake return for 6-matching symbols that offers the best payout. The Purple Mech follows with a 5x the stake top reward, while the Gold and Green Mechs deliver up to 2.5x and 2x, respectively. Next, we have the Shield with a top payout of 1.5x, the Lazer Gun with 1x, and the Sword, Space Ship, and Vial that pay up to 0.9x, 0.8x, and 0.6x.
If there’s one thing you can usually say about Pragmatic Play, it’s that the developer also provides a betting range that makes their slots accessible to a wide range of budgets. On Anime Mecha Megaways, there are 40 stakes to choose from, ranging between €0.20 and €100.00 per spin.
Base Game & Modifiers
Most of you will be familiar with the Megaways mechanic by now, and on Anime Mecha Megaways, it delivers up to 117,649 ways to win across 6 vertical reels that can hold between 2 and 7 symbols and a single 4-position horizontal reel sat above the main grid. One of the Mech characters requires two or more matching symbols across consecutive reels from left to right to complete a winning combination, but you’ll need to land three or more for all other symbols. Pragmatic Play’s Tumble Mechanic returns to remove all winning symbols from the reels so that more drop into the action with the potential to create more wins.
Lightning Bolt
When spinning the reels of Anime Mecha Megaways, you’ll always welcome seeing the Lightning Bolt symbol, which can only appear on the horizontal reel. When it lands, it will randomly choose one symbol on the four middle reels and transform all instances of it into wild symbols. If the Lightning Bolt moves position as a result of a winning combination and a tumble, it will strike again.
Anime Mecha Megaways slot bonus features
Triggering the bonus round organically gives you 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, or 30 free spins in return for landing 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 scatter symbols, respectively. Next, players can take up the option to spin on a gamble wheel to potentially boost their number of free spins. A successful spin grants additional spins, up to a total of 30, while an unsuccessful gamble means losing all the spins already won. You can walk away from the gamble feature at any point.
Free Spins Feature
The free spins bonus starts with a 1x win multiplier that increases by 1x for every winning cascade that occurs. The multiplier will not reset between spins and is applied to all payouts that occur during the bonus game. Lightning Bolts also play their part during the bonus, while you’ll receive an additional 4 free spins each time a spin reveals 3 or more scatter symbols.
Bonus Buy
If you wish to skip the base game you can activate the free spins bonus round instantly at the cost of 150x the current bet.
Pros
- Up to 117,649 ways to win and a maximum win of 40,000x the stake.
- A great theme if you're into anime.
Cons
- It is a direct clone of Pragmatic Play’s Power of Merlin Megaways.
Anime Mecha Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
Power of Merlin Megaways earned a respectable when we came to review it because, at the time, we found it to be an enjoyable slot with bags of winning potential. Anime Mecha Megaways is identical, aside from the theme, so if you enjoyed Merlin but want to play it with an Asian twist, you’ll no doubt have a good time.
