I found that the gameplay, bets, features, and bonuses of Mega Bandit revolve around its pay ways, cascading reels feature, and increasing multipliers, which are present throughout the base game and free spins. Bets range from 0.60 to 120 coins a spin, but tripling your stake with the Extra Bet option provides access to significantly bigger multipliers.
Exciting Gameplay
I really enjoyed playing Mega Bandit, with the 2,205 to 32,400 pay ways, cascading reels, and increasing multipliers providing exciting gameplay on many spins. But you need to be aware that even the individual six-of-a-kind combos pay less than your spin stake, and you have to hit long cascade sequences and big multipliers to have a chance of winning big prizes. Even after a run of seven cascades and reaching the 160x multiplier, I only won 14x my stake. Prizes of 5,000x your bet are possible, but my bankroll suffered 25% and 50% losses over two 100-spin sessions. It’s a low-to-medium volatility slot, but be prepared for bigger swings than you may have imagined.
Golden Frames and Sticky Wins Features
I found this feature triggered several times, helping me win a few prizes. When 1-4 matching symbols are framed in gold, they become sticky wilds. The number on the wilds determines how many times they can be used before being eliminated.
Free Spins
I wasn’t lucky enough to activate this feature in my two sessions so far, but it’s one I’ll be looking to trigger in the future. The exciting thing about free spins is that the multipliers are double those in the base game, potentially leading to bigger wins.
