I love conspiracy theories as much as anyone else, and one of the biggest of all time has to be whether humankind has set foot on the moon. What do you think? Did the USA really win the space race? Or was film director Stanley Kubrick behind one of the most elaborate hoaxes ever? Whichever camp you’re in, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a good old space-themed slot, and today we’re digging into Big Time Gaming’s production titled Over the Moon Megaways. This comes with 117,649 paylines, a generous RTP of 96.55%, and a maximum win of 13,570x the bet.
Are we about to witness an out of this world feature set? I’ll let you be the judge of that. First of all, this is a cascading reels slot, so all winning combos will be removed from the reels with new symbols replacing them for additional chances to win. Then we have the main hook of the game, which is the multiplying rockets. These can appear at random on any spin, potentially collecting cash meteors that land upon the reels. Trigger either of the two versions of the free spins feature, and it will allow you to play with modified rockets, where extra fuel can be awarded to keep them collecting the wins for longer. I you’d prefer to skip the obligatory countdown from ten, you can buy instant access to the bonus feature for 70x your current bet.
Will you be the first to step foot on the moon? Wait, Neil Armstrong did that already, didn’t he? Oh well, try our free demo slot of Over the Moon Megaways instead; at least you know there’s no conspiracy here.

Over The Moon Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Slots, the final frontier. These are the voyages of demoslot. Its continuing mission to explore exciting new games. To seek out the best mechanics and providers. To boldly go where no slot review site has gone before! Okay, that’s a bit extreme, but we are always on the lookout for new online slots, and throughout our journey so far, this has included a fair few with a space theme. Today’s expedition into the so-far unknown gives us a chance to look at BTG’s game, Over the Moon Megaways. So, if you’ve enjoyed previous titles in this genre, like Push Gaming’s Space Stacks, or Relax Gaming’s Space Miners, you’ll want to stick around to find out if this could be a new favourite on your list.
We’re kicking things off with the paytable, where we find the most valuable symbol is the purple gem which will pay 50x bet for a six of a kind win. Next, we have the red gem worth 5x for all six, followed by the blue gem at 2x, and the last of the premium symbols, the green gem awarding 1.5x for all six on a payline. As for the lower pays, these come in the form of royal symbols, where the Ace, King, and Queen will all pay 1x if six land across a payline, whilst the Jack, Ten and Nine, are all worth 0.8x for a six of a kind hit. Finally, there is an inclusion of a multicoloured wild symbol, with this substituting for all other regular game symbols.
Whether you’re entering the game with a huge balance or you’ve only deposited a small amount, there will be a stake size for you to choose from, so you can get a decent amount of spins on Over The Moon Megaways. The minimum bet starts from just €0.10, followed by a good selection of intermediate stakes before hitting the max price of play, which is €50.
Base Game & Modifiers
Big Time Gaming has opted for a classic Megaways slot set-up of 6 reels where up to 7 symbols can appear on each for a maximum total of 117,649 ways to win. The significant difference between this and games like Bonanza, for example, is that there is no upper escalating reel in play. So this is very much like their previous title Golden Catch Megaways, and in more ways than one, as we will come to shortly. As for grabbing a bit of cosmic cash, you’ll need to hit a minimum of three matching symbols from left to right, except for the purple gems, where only two are required.
Cascading Reels
Reactive wins, tumbling reels, cascading reels, different names, same mechanic. Yes, the popular reel cascades are back, so every win you create within the game will see the symbols from that combo explode, with new symbols then dropping down to fill the spaces left behind. This can lead to further wins, with the tumbles finally ending when you fail to create a new win.
Rockets
Up to three rockets may appear next to the reels on any spin in the base game displaying a multiplier of either x1, x5, or x10. Each rocket can also have up to 3 fuel cells lit on them. After a win reaction, rockets will have 1 fuel cell deducted. If this leads to a rocket having no active cells, it will be removed.
Cash Meteor Prizes
Every meteor cash symbol that appears will have a value attached to it which can be up to 100x the bet. If any rockets are also in view simultaneously, they will collect the meteor value. Furthermore, meteor cash prizes will be multiplied by the multipliers displayed on the rocket.
Over The Moon Megaways Slot Bonus Features
Two versions of the free spins bonus mode can be triggered. The first of these is the standard mode, which requires 3 normal scatters to land in view, with this awarding 12 free spins plus an additional 2 spins for each scatter that lands thereafter. An enhanced free spin mode can also be activated, and you’ll need at least one of the triggering scatters to be a Megascatter for this to be achieved.
Standard Free Spins
During this mode, the first rocket that appears in view will have a starting multiplier of x1. Each rocket that appears thereafter will increase in value by a further x1. In addition, battery symbols may now also land on reel 6. Every time this happens, all rockets in view will have their cell value recharged back to a maximum of 3.
Enhanced Free Spins
The chance to hit something big can is a real possibility during the enhanced mode. This is because the starting multiplier of the rockets is increased to x2, and their values will increment by a further x2 with each new one that appears.
Win Exchange
If a win of over 80x the bet is achieved, then a player may exchange 80x the bet to gain instant access to the free spins feature. If a win between 25x – 80x is won, then a pie gamble is offered where the current win can be collected or gambled for a chance at winning the free spins.
Bonus Buy
Those playing from a jurisdiction where the bonus buy button is active can choose from the following two options.
- Standard 12 Free Spins: Cost 70x the bet.
- Enhanced 12 Free Spins: Cost 140x the bet.
Pros
- Above average RTP.
Cons
- Clone of a previous and better game.
- Max win is likely unachievable.
Final Thoughts
I did quite enjoy Golden Catch Megaways, so I was intrigued more than anything to see if this would be an improvement. Unfortunately, I wasn't won over at all, and whilst Over the Moon Megaways is far from being a terrible game, I just think BTG did it better in their previous attempt. I've also mentioned before that the max wins stated on Big Time Gaming slots are great, but when was the last time anyone saw one? Please prove me wrong and send me a video or image of a max win on this game, and it will get a boost in its rating. Yeah, I won't hold my breath on that one.
