Gameplay
You’ll probably be familiar with the way the Megaways mechanic works but if not here’s a quick recap. After landing a winning combination, the symbols involved fall away and new symbols replace them to hopefully form new wins. This continues until no new combinations occur.If a reel appears at the maximum height the Mega Fission feature triggers. Symbols involved in a winning combo split in half to double the number of symbols. Successive wins see the symbols continue to split creating a huge number of Megaways.When a green wild symbol lands on a spin it expands to fill the entire reel, up to 5 reels can become fully wild.Keep an eye out for a pig on the moon symbol, he lands randomly on a spin in the base game or bonus rounds. When he does, he’ll award either 2 expanding wild symbols or 4 standard wilds.On the right-hand side, you’ll notice a meter. Fuel tank symbols landing are added to the meter. Once you collect 6, you’ll get 8 free spins. After 4 more symbols are collected, you are now taken to another planet where you receive another 4 free spins. There are up to 24 free spins to be found if you are lucky. Each of the five planets brings additional modifiers to help form bigger wins.
Conclusion
Set aside the garish design, Astro Newts Megaways is an incredibly good slot to play. It’s really engaging, and the features are quite lucrative. What sets it apart from other similar slots are the 5 planets each with additional modifiers, the most lucrative being Saturn as the ways to win can increase up to 117,649.
