Blueprint is a superfan of Big Time Gaming’s legendary Megaways payout mechanic. Into the Wild Megaways is just the latest in a line of … I couldn’t even guess, at least twenty-five Megaways slots by the developer…. probably more. That’s not a bad thing, though, as the last few Blueprint Megaways games have been some of the best I have seen in a long time. So the specifics of this current title see us spinning with 117,649 ways to win, an RTP of 96.40%, and potential wins of up to 50,000x bet.
In terms of features, the common Megaways bonus round with an unlimited win multiplier is all present and correct, this time featuring a free spin wheel that can award anywhere from 5 to 20 free spins with a “bonus guarantee” that ensures you win at least 10x your bet. Cascading wins permit multiple hits from a single paid spin, whilst the extra horizontal row at the bottom of the screen is used for a unique expanding wild feature.
I do not doubt that Megaways fans will be excited to try this one out – our free demo slot of Into the Wild Megaways is available below for you to spin the reels on.

Into The Wild Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Into the Wild Megaways takes place deep in the old west, so you can expect to see plenty of rare and endangered species littering the reels as you play. When I began to spin this slot, my first thought was, “is this a Buffalo game?” as many of the sounds and symbols appear to be almost direct copies of the Vegas smash hit Buffalo Gold slot machines. The best of those still haven’t been available for online play. Unfortunately – Aristocrat seems happy to keep their series restricted to land-based casinos for now, except for the original Buffalo game.
Wagering limits are set at €0.20 per spin at the low end and just €10.00 per spin at the top. Is this a sign of things changing over at Blueprint? The last few of the developer’s games have had similarly low limits. I don’t think too many people will cry at the loss of the option to bet €100.00 per spin, but it is interesting nonetheless.
Base Game & Modifiers
The base game of Into the Wild Megaways online slot uses one of the most creative Megaways setups I have seen so far. I’m sure you know the typical layout of a Megaways game by now, but just in case, let’s start with that. A “typical” Megaways layout has 2 reels on the left and right which can split into seven sections, and five reels in between them which can split into six sections. An additional horizontally scrolling row is positioned across the top of the centre five reels.
Into the Wild Megaways takes this set up a little further by adding a second horizontally scrolling row along the bottom of the centre five reels and changing the centre area so that they can only split into a maximum of five separate sections. This keeps the familiar 117,649 maximum Megaways limit while enabling some interesting new features – see below.
Replicator Reels Modifier
This is probably the most interesting and unique aspect of Into the Wild Megaways, a special feature which uses the dual horizontal scrolling reels. This is the first Megaways slot I have seen that uses this unique layout, and I’m fairly sure it is the very first game to do so.
If two matching symbols appear at the top and bottom of any of the middle five reels, then all matching symbols on that reel will transform into wilds. Better yet, if you catch matching wild symbols at the top and bottom of a reel, the entire reel will turn into a stacked wild.
Wild Bet
For 1.25x the usual wager cost, you can opt to double your chances of hitting a bonus round. That sounds like a pretty good deal, but remember, it still does not guarantee you will hit a bonus round within the next 100, 200, or even 500 spins. You would probably have to be highly unlucky to miss one for 500 spins, though!
Into The Wild Megaways Slot Free Spins Feature
After hitting enough triggering scatter symbols, you will be taken to the free spin wheel. The wheel features several segments with varying numbers of free spins, from as low as five up to a maximum of 20 spins. All wins occurring during this part of the game will cause your current multiplier to increase by 1x, and if you can keep on hitting retriggers, this multiplier can reach some pretty crazy heights.
If you finish your spins without winning at least 10x your bet, the game will throw you an additional four free spins to continue playing until you exceed this minimum threshold.
Bonus Buy Feature
For 150x your current stake, you can skip the base game and head straight for the feature. This option is only available in jurisdictions that permit this type of feature, and it doesn’t prevent you from spinning the bonus wheel either. Yes, you can pay 150x your stake and still end up with just five free spins! For that reason, I’d have to be cautious when using this feature.
Into The Wild Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
This is a solid effort by Blueprint Gaming and shows that when the developer puts their mind to it, they can keep twisting and morphing the Megaways concept into a seemingly endless string of unique and innovative online slots.
