Discover how all of the in-game features and bonus rounds work in our full slot review of the game. We have also included a free play demo of Payday Megaways™ if you’d like to try it in the fun mode for yourself. You can access this and practice the game on your desktop, tablet or mobile device.
Payday Megaways Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Payday Megaways™ takes us into an office environment, and a situation that in someway we can all probably relate to. Ok, so the main character that we see when the game loads isn’t likely to resonate with a character from the film horrible bosses, but we’ve all had that upper management or owner of a company that we have to be a touch careful around. It’s the office of this superior where the action takes place within the game, and a number of cash related and business items can be seen strewn around the surroundings of the cigar wielding bigwig.
When it comes to getting our hands on some of his cash, we can see from the paytable that the low value symbols are made up of the classic royal cards 10 through to the ace. The premium paying symbols within the slot are the cigar box, statistic graph, wad of cash, red rosette and the boss himself, where a 6 of a kind win will pay 2x, 2x, 2x, 7.5x, and 40x respectively. Look out for the Golden Ring too, this is the games wild symbol and will substitute for all other symbols except the scatters.
Spinning the reels and getting into the action can take place for just €0.20 a spin on Payday Megaways™, with the maximum stake reaching €100 a play. You can also expect to find a very respectable RTP of 96.03% present within the game, which is a touch under the Megaways™ average, but considered as good in general for an online slot.
Payday Megaways Base Game And Modifiers
Whilst plenty of wins can be formed across the 6 reels of Payday Megaways™, it’s always nice to be able to get some extra modifiers to help out with creating even more. The mystery symbol is one such way that can bring a little extra cash into your balance, and it’s the silver safe that acts as this symbol within the slot.
When the mystery appears and after the reels have come to a halt, all instances of it will transform into the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable. The added extra is that it is guaranteed to turn into a symbol that will help you to create a win.
Cascading Reels
Storm Gaming have made good use of the cascading reels mechanic, and it can be found at the heart of the operation in Payday Megaways™. For those who are unfamiliar with how the cascading engine works, you will see it kick into life when a winning combination of symbols has been formed on the reels.
In the case of Payday Megaways™, when this happens the symbols explode into coins and notes and are removed from the reels. New symbols are then dropped in from above which gives you another chance to create a win. As long as you continue to form new combinations of winning symbols, then the cascades will follow, and with them the potential of a big balance boost.
Promotion Feature
Randomly triggered in both the base game and free spin bonus, you can be awarded the Promotion Feature. When this activates it will remove all of the lower value royal symbols from the reels. This will leave just the premium value symbols and some spaces that will need to be filled. More premium symbols then cascade from above to fill in the gaps, which can lead to some really juicy combos connecting over multiple Megaways™.
Payday Megaways Pick Me Feature
Trigger the Pick Me Bonus Feature on Payday Megaways™ when 3 or more of the pay packet symbols land anywhere in view. When the bonus is active you will be invited to choose from one of the pay packets that is shown on the screen. Your choice will award a multiplier that will be applied to your current bet size.
Payday Megaways Free Spin Feature – Boss Spins
Entering the free spin feature on Payday Megaways™ will require you to land 4 or more of the Payday scatter symbols anywhere in view. Landing a basic 4 scatter trigger will award you with 12 free spins, with each additional scatter thereafter adding an extra 4 spins to your starting total.
Once the bonus gets under way, you will note that you have a win multiplier with a starting value of x1. Creating a winning combo of symbols in the bonus will cause this to increase in value by an additional x1.
Keep a look out on the upper escalating reel for the bonus scatter symbols, as these can award you with additional free spins. If 3 of these appear then 5 spins will be added your current total, whilst the appearance of 4 will add 10 more spins.
One last treat to look out for is the Boss Spins Bonus. This can trigger randomly at any time during base game play and will award you with a random amount of free spins, and a starting multiplier of up to x10. This bonus will then play out in the same fashion as the generic free spins round.
Payday Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
If you like games that are feature rich and have plenty of modifiers to keep you entertained whilst playing, then you’re going to love Payday Megaways™. The inclusion of the Boss Spins is a particularly fascinating feature, as you can potentially get rewarded with a better free spin bonus randomly, than what you would if you had triggered it organically.
Storm Gaming continue to produce Megaways™ Slots that delight, and this is yet another game from the provider that is high on excitement and big win potential.
