Iron Dog Studio have opted for a fun and funky theme in their Megaways title, Astro Newts Megaways, and we find ourselves onboard a cartoon alien UFO as we join the action. My instant thought on the game loading up was of the alien duo Kang and Kodos from the cartoon comedy The Simpsons, with the game set very much in the style of how they appear in the show. If trying the game today has put you in the mood for more space-themed slots, then I’d suggest a few spins on Mystery Mission to the Moon from Push Gaming, which is a fantastic release in this slot genre.

Regarding the pays section on Astro Newts Megaways, we find the lower value symbols are represented by the royal cards 10, J, Q, K, and Ace. The higher paying symbols are the meteor, ray gun, jetpack, green alien, and purple alien, with a 6 of a kind win paying 10x, 10x, 20x, 40x, and 50x, respectively. The wild symbol within the game is the space rocket. Appearing on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 only, this symbol will substitute for all other game symbols.

Finally, we end this section with the possible betting options. Players can choose to spin the reels from a minimum of €0.10 to a maximum of €50.

Along with its game format of 6 reels, Astro Newt Megaways comes with the potential of up to 235,298 ways to win. A payout will be awarded when a minimum of three matching symbols (two for the top-paying symbol) land on consecutive reels in any position, starting from the leftmost reel first.

Cascading Reels Feature

The ever-popular cascading/tumbling reels feature is present within Astro Newts Megaways. So whenever a winning combination of symbols has been formed across the reels, the initial symbols involved in the win will disappear. New symbols will then appear to replace them, giving you additional opportunities to win. Furthermore, when these cascades occur, the payline structure will be altered, and more symbols will appear than what was present before. This, in turn, increases the amount of Megaways in play and improves your chances of creating a new win.

Expanding Wilds

Just like the normal wild symbol I mentioned earlier, the expanding wild symbol will only appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The difference with this symbol, which appears as a green W, is that when it lands on a reel, it will transform that whole reel into a wild. It’s noteworthy that up to 5 of these symbols can appear at once, which could potentially produce a huge win.

Pig On The Moon Feature

Appearing in both the base game and the free spin bonus, you will come across the interesting Pig on the Moon feature. This will produce one of the following when it randomly triggers.

• Add up to 2 additional expanding wild symbols
• Add up to 4 normal wild symbols

To the right-hand side of the reels, you will notice that there is a fuel meter. For the free spin feature to be triggered, you will need to collect 6 fuel tank symbols in one succession of spins/cascades, which will award you 8 free spins. Any extra symbols that are collected will be stored and saved for the start of the bonus round.

Free Spins

As you blast off into the free spins, you will begin your journey at the moon. This will see you start with a win multiplier of x1 in value, incrementing by a further x1 each time you create a successful win reaction.

The key to progressing in this bonus round is to collect more fuel tank symbols. Every 4 new tanks that you collect will see you move on to the next planet, and whilst you’re playing there, a brand new award will be active, increasing your chances of creating winning combos
