Description
Royal Mint Megaways slot is styled after the Royal Mint building that manufactures commercial coins for the UK.
Under the ownership of Her Majesty’s Treasury, you will find the Johnson Smirke Building which previously served as the London home of the UK mint as the background of the slot.
This iconic building complements the theme of the slot. The grid is set on the entrance pillars with two cherry blossom trees gracing the opposite sides of the reels.
You will find 6 reels with up to 117,649 possible ways of forming winning combinations. There are extra 1x4reels above and below the main playing area which can be triggered by a Triple Reaction bonus round.
Visually, the graphics are stunning but even more impressive is the max payout of 41,300x your stake on this slot.
How to play
To get the reels spinning, players would have to make bets between 0.20 to 10 and then hit the spin button. Players would need to land three or more matching symbols to form a winning combination.
Low paying symbols are the 9-A card royals. The red, blue, purple, and green rectangular gems offer better pays with the purple gem paying up to 50x the stake for 6 of a kind combination.
Royal Mint Megaways Slot Special Features
Special Symbols
A gem-encrusted wild symbol will replace other standard symbols on the reels except the scatter. The game scatter is the word M.I.N.T with each letter being a symbol of its own.
Reaction Feature
This reaction feature is similar to the cascading feature in most slots. It will remove all symbols that formed the winning combinations on the reels and replace with new symbols. This gives you more chances to form winning combinations as the feature continues until there are no more winners on the reels.
Free Spins
To trigger the free spins features, you would have to combine the letters M.I.N.T to form the word “mint”. Each letter is a symbol. You will have to land a minimum of the four letters which will reward you with 12 free spins.
You will receive 4 additional spins for every extra scatter collected on the reels during the free spins bonus. An unlimited multiplier is applied to the free spins feature. It starts at one and increases by one after every win.
Heartstopper™ Enhanced Free Spins
This feature is the main headliner of the game. This feature will boost your free spins wins with double multipliers, however, it is not easy to trigger. Every time you collect 3 scatters on the reels, a gold bar will be rewarded.
If you’re able to collect 40 gold bars, you’ll receive an extra scatter which will be added to every spin until the free spins bonus is triggered. During the free spins round, you will get the same regular spins but this time, an x2 multiplier will be added and it will increase by 2 with every win.
Jackpot
There is no Royal Mint Megaways jackpot but a win possibility of 41,300x your stake.
Return to Player (RTP)
Royal Mint Megaways has a Return to Player (RTP) of 96.68%.
Verdict
Royal Mint Megaways, no doubt, has some great features to offer. The addition of scatters brings both free spins and enhanced free spins to punters giving them more ways to win and also better payouts on their wins.
