Cascading Reels

Blueprint Gaming have often made use of the cascading reels mechanic throughout their portfolio of Megaways™ slots. This features in titles such as the popular Ted Megaways™ and Blueprint have once again chosen to use this mechanic in Big Cat King Megaways™.

Those who are unfamiliar with this in-game mechanic will observe symbols that are a part of a winning combination being removed from the reels. This will leave behind spaces that are then filled with new symbols that drop down from above. This sequence of cascades will continue as long as you are making winning connections, once there are no further wins to be made, you will need to initiate a new spin.

Mystery Symbols

Adding some extra excitement and action to both the base game and free spin feature is the mystery symbol. These come in the shape of exotic green leaves and can land in any position across all 6 reels in both the base game and bonus round.

At the end of the spin, any mystery symbols that are in view will transform into the same randomly selected symbol from the paytbale. Whilst this feature can produce some big wins within the base game, it’s the free spin feature where you can really generate some substantial hits if the mystery symbol lands whilst you have a high win multiplier in play.
