Game Overview
Will you find yourself in the money with Big Time Gaming and their video slot Royal Mint Megaways? Who would have thought that back in 1968 when the Queen of England opened up the Royal Mint’s headquarters in South Wales in preparation of decimalisation, that some five decades later an online slot bearing the Royal Mints name and with huge paying potential would be released on the big wide web.
The Megaways mechanic is in full flight in this slot, and playing out across a 6 reel and 7 row format the unique reel modifying gaming engine can generate anything up to 117,649 ways to win on any spin. But BTG have not stopped there, they have also incorporated their Heartstopper™ mechanic into this game to add an extra layer of volatility.
Without further a do lets head on into the review and learn about all of the features and modifiers that this game possesses. Remember that our review comes with a free play demo of Royal Mint Megaways, so you can see how the slot works first-hand for yourself on your desktop, tablet, or mobile device.
Royal Mint Megaways Slot Themes Stakes, Pays & Symbols
What better idea to base a slot machine on than a theme about money. That’s exactly the thinking here from Big Time Gaming as they opt to set the reels on the backdrop of what we assume to be the UK’s Royal Mint. Further on into the game when the bonus round is triggered you gameplay will move to the main fault that is of course laden with riches.
Lower paying symbols on Royal Mint Megaways™ comprise of the royal cards 9 through to Ace, with pays ranging from 0.1x, up to 1.75x when wins are formed through them. The premium value symbols are made up of the coloured gems green, blue, red, and purple, with a 6 of a kind win paying 2x, 2x, 7.5x, and 50x respectively.
You can play Royal Mint Megaways™ for just €0.20 a spin, with the maximum bet reaching €20 a play for those who like to high roll. In total there are 9 stake sizes that range from €2 down to the minimum stake, this will present players with the perfect opportunity to find a bet size that is proportional to their bankroll.
Base Game & Modifiers
We’ve seen numerous slots in the Megaways™ series that feature the cascading reels mechanic, but Big Time Gaming have only previously showcased their Triple Reaction™ mechanic on the slot Opal Fruits.
Traditional Megaways™ slots with cascading reels would have an upper reel that would help to create wins with the main area of the game, Triple Reaction™ takes this to the next level as an additional reel as added at the bottom the reels.
The same still applies with regards to wins that are created through the main game and both upper and lower reels. The symbols involved in the winning combination will be removed from the reels, and new symbols will drop down, or slide across to replace them. This can continue multiple times, only ending when no further wins are made.
Royal Mint Megaways Slot Free Spin Feature
Triggering the free spin feature on Royal Mint Megaways™ will require you to land the letters M, I, N, T, anywhere on the reels. If successful in this quest you will enter the bonus round and be awarded with 12 free spins. Additional scatters may also land or drop in from reel cascades, if this happens then each one will award you 4 extra spins to begin the feature with.
The bonus feature has a familiar feel to it and you will begin the free spins with a multiplier that holds a value of x1. Each successful reel cascade that you achieve will see the multiplier increase by x1, and there is no limit that it can reach, so in essence as seen before on slots such as Bonanza Megaways™, this is an unlimited multiplier.
More spins can be awarded during the bonus round through a re-trigger. Scatter symbols can appear on the upper and lower reels only, and 3 rolling in view will award you 4 extra free spins, with each additional scatter that appears after that adding a further 4.
Heartstopper Enhanced Feature
Fresh from their success on Lil Devil with the Heartstopper™ feature, Big Time Gaming have brought it back for Royal Mint Megaways™ and it offers some pretty huge potential when triggered.
As with Lil Devil you are required to save up to trigger the Heartstopper™ enhanced feature on Royal Mint Megaways™. This is done through the collection of gold bars and these are awarded when you land M, I, N on the reels.
You will need to collect a total of 40 gold bars for the Heartstopper™ feature to become active, and then you are still required to trigger it. What happens is that the letter M appears to the lefthand side of the reels meaning that you only need to land I, N, T, for the bonus to trigger, of course any additional scatters would be a massive plus point going into the free spin feature.
The enhanced free spin bonus really does offer some crazy big win potential on Royal Mint Megaways™. As with the standard free spin bonus an unlimited multiplier is in play but this time you will begin the bonus with it starting at x2 in value, and for each successful reel cascade that you hit it will move up in multiples of x2. This can see the multiplier reaching big values very quickly, and with that comes the potential of unlocking the high volatility of this slot.
Again, as with the normal free spin bonus, 3 scatters appearing in the upper or lower reels will award an extra 4 spins, with each additional scatter after that adding a further 4.
Royal Mint Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
It was only a matter of time until BTG brought the Heartstopper™ enhanced feature back out to play after the success they saw with it on Lil Devil. It does need to be pointed out though that it is far more difficult to collect the 40 gold bars on Royal Mint Megaways™ that it is to collect the hearts on Lil Devil.
What we would point out though that some players might be looking past, is that the enhanced feature isn’t necessarily something you should be looking to save up for. It’s designed that over a period of playing time you are awarded a feature for all of the 3 scatter teases that you have seen during your continued gameplay.
We would take the approach of playing Royal Mint Megaways™ over a number of sessions and eventually triggering the enhanced feature naturally, rather than trying to force it in one playing session, that could take a huge amount of time, and money.
