Rock the Reels Megaways Review

Heavy-metal music fans can now sigh with relief as Iron Dog introduces its Rock the Reels Megaways slot, where players would be able to mosh with a wild animal band. Powered by the Big Time Gaming's engine, it comes with four random modifiers and an exciting bonus game paying up to 50,000x the stake, and that's accompanied by a headbanging soundtrack!

Rock the Reels Megaways - Slot Outlook

Loading the game will take you right on the concert stage illuminated with bright spotlights, and you hear a crowd slamming to the juicy metal riff that blasts off your speakers. The cartoonish design is rather well-executed, as well as the soundtrack that recreates a feeling of attending a live rock show. It's not for everyones' ears though, so delicate gamblers can always opt for the mute button. Others are strongly recommended to turn the volume up and lose yourselves in the music.

Rock the Reels Megaways utilizes a standard Megaways setup, and it plays out across 6 reels with 2-7 rows and a 4 symbol position top tracker. True to Megaways style, each spin is unique and the number of symbols in each reel is determined at the beginning of each spin. This creates from 324 to 117,649 ways to play.

Offering bets from $0.1 to $50 per spin, Rock the Reels Megaways comes with a math model players can surely rely on.

The volatility here tends to the high side of the spectrum, and the RTP is slightly above the average level at 96.20%. What's most impressive is the game's max win capability, as players can scoop prizes of up to 50,000x the stake on a single spin here.

The paytable in the Rock the Reels Megaways slot consists of 10 regular symbols that are split into two categories. On the lower side, we see classic A-10 royals, albeit using a font that's usually seen on metal album covers. Dominating the paytable is the band's lead singer with a fancy pink mohawk haircut, who is actually a cougar. The rest of the premium symbols include in ascending order picks, tambourines, mix decks, and speakers, while the spotlight symbol is Wild, which appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4, and substitutes for any other regular symbol in a win combination.

Rock the Reels Megaways - Bonus Features

The key to the success here is the Free Spins feature, though, Rock the Reels Megaways has a few tricks to offer both in the base game and the bonus games.

However, let's start walking you through the central mechanic - Cascading Wins. Whenever you hit a win, all winning symbols get removed from the grid, and new ones drop down on the reels to fill vacant spaces. In the same way, if a new win is achieved, the cascades do their magic and a new tumble follows, repeating until no new wins occur.

Keep an eye for 4 animal band members that can land on the horizontal top row above the main reels, as they deliver the following Animal Modifiers whenever they appear in view:

• Warthog - transforms from 2 to 4 random symbols on reels 1-4 into Wilds.
• Octopus - transforms from 2 to 4 random symbols on reels 1-4 into the random same matching symbol from reel 1.
• Flamingo - transforms from 3 to 4 random symbols on reels 1-3 into the top-paying cougar symbol.
• Lion - transforms 2 random symbols on reels 2-3 into 2x Multiplier Wilds that double any payout.

Should 3, 4, 5, and 6 Scatter symbols land simultaneously during the base game, players will receive 8, 10, 15, and 25 Free Spins respectively. Once triggered, a progressive Multiplier comes into play. You start with a 1x Multiplier, and it grows by +1 after each cascade, no Iimits. The Lion modifier is also boosted during the bonus game, as Wild symbols increase their Multiplier by +1 whenever Lion appears in view. Finally, landing 3, 4, 5, and 6 Scatters will add 4, 6, 8, and 12 additional spins to the total tally.

Rock the Reels Megaways - Slot Verdict

Well, the theme in the Rock the Reels Megaways slot is definitely a stand-out, but the features laid down here fail to impress equally. The Free Spins feature with a growing Multiplier is something that's usually seen in most Megaways slots, and Iron Dog's originality here is limited to four Animal Modifiers that pop up randomly on any stage of the game.

They can spice up the action for sure, but there's nothing special to keep punters hooked onto their screens. Anyway, the 50,000x max win may sound like a solid reason to consider Rock the Reels Megaways, but not enough to catch those not into the theme.

Pros

• Great design and soundtrack
• Four random modifiers available both in the base and the bonus games
• 50,000x max win

Cons

• Lack of original bonus features and extras
