Scrooge Megaways

Right off the bat, we have to say that this game looks amazing. The designer department really did a stellar job with the backdrop and symbols, making the game look “Britishy” and fit with the subject matter, something that is known worldwide and can be easily recognized.

Our only remark is having playing card royals – again – as low-value symbols, but that is just how most online slots work.  Everything is forgiven, because the theme itself is inspiring and lends itself well to a video slot game as we have here.

Scrooge Megaways™ is based on a tale by Charles Dickens, called “A Christmas Carol” and published for the first time in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843. For people living under a rock, the novel is about a bitter old man, a pinchpenny, who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner. The ghost takes Scrooge through various situations in his past life and shows him a possible future. This makes Scrooge become a better man in the end.

In accordance with the story, Scrooge Megaways™ includes symbols of Ebenezer Scrooge himself, as well as icons of prison balls with chains, festive turkeys and top hats. The snow-covered houses make for a suiting backdrop and the Christmas music informs the player about the period the game takes place in. Medium-value symbols can award you with 2x-5x payouts for 6 of a kind. Land Ebenezer Scrooge in 6 adjacent positions and you will win 25x the bet. The most one can win playing Scrooge Megaways™ is 12,000x the bet. Nothing to sneeze at, even in the coldest of weather!

The game's RTP is slightly below average. However, iSoftBet made sure players who value the return rate can influence the game in such a way that will give them a better RTP to work with. What do we mean by this? Well, the default RTP for Scrooge Megaways™ is 95.98%. But, if you use the Bonus Buy feature, the RTP will increase all the way up to 97%, which is a great percentage. The volatility is medium to high, and the hit frequency was evaluated to stand at 32.3%.

Scrooge Megaways™ has a reel grid that benefits from 6 reels and these can hold from 3 to 7 symbols each. This configuration can offer between 729 and 117,649 ways to win. In order to bag a win, the player has to match at least 2 symbols on adjacent reels. The optimal “formula” would be to line up 6 identical symbols on adjacent reels and the winning combo will form from left to right, issuing a payout according to the paytable values.

Before you start spinning the reels, make sure to carefully set the size of your bet per spin. The game will offer you a range between €0.20 and €20 for your bets. You can tinker with it to find your sweet spot. The Wild symbols will be there to help you create more wins, and also any win will set off a chain reaction – a cascade. Winning symbols will then disappear and new ones will tumble into the empty positions, allowing for more potential wins without charge to the player’s balance. Another thing, mind that Wild symbols can only land on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and they will not replace Scatters.

Now, order a carriage and prepare for a comfy ride across the special features in Scrooge Megaways™. Pay attention to the Scatter, a golden framed window, which is your gateway to the Scrooge Cash Respins feature. To activate the feature, 5 Scatters must be collected on the same spin. The Scatters will stay in place during the 3 respins which will ensue, yet if you land one or more Scatters the counter will reset to 3 again and prolong the round.

If the entire reel is filled with Scatter the payouts will be multiplied by the number of Scatter on that reel. Additionally, Past, Present and Future multiplier symbols come into play. Land any of these and you will have your payout multiplied 10x, 25x and 50x, respectively. 

Moving on, we have the Hauntings of Christmas feature that triggers randomly. When it does, it can award either the Bonus Award or the Max Megaways. The Bonus Award introduces extra Scatter symbols to the reels, which increases the chances of activating the Scrooge Cash Respins feature. Max Megaways, on the other hand, will guarantee the maximum number of Megaways which is 117,649 in this slot.

Finally, any player can take advantage of the Bonus Buy. The only requirement is paying a “fee” worth 50x the current bet and the Scrooge Cash Respins feature will activate right away.

Scrooge Megaways™ is so much fun! Granted, the game does not have free spins, but the Scrooge Cash Respins feature really highlights other possibilities that slot developers have to make a game just as dynamic and attractive. The theme is a festive classic and iSoftBet tried their hardest to make it appealing to the modern age. Scrooge Megaways™ isn’t your typical Christmas slot, yet it succeeds in pulling the player into the Christmas tradition of giving and receiving presents. While playing Scrooge Megaways™, you will learn the lesson of generosity and enjoy cascades, respins and multipliers along the way.
