Vegas Megaways Review

Apparently, Disney doesn’t like gambling all that much, and they own 50 % of the network that airs Who Wants to be a Millionaire in the US. For this reason, Big Time Gaming’s Who Wants to be a Millionaire Megaways hasn’t been available to US players. Vegas Megaways is basically an unbranded reskin job, to make the popular and in-demand game available also in the US, albeit with a different theme.

The defining pre-bonus gamble round is not quite the same without the game show framing though, although it’s literally the same feature. The dynamic grid is set in the middle of a typical Vegas slot hall, but the backdrop is blurred out. You can gamble to get up to 50 free spins, and the progressive multiplier bonus round can lead to payouts up to a very solid 72,310x your stake.

Vegas Megaways Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2 and 50 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the rainbow-colored Wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The Reaction mechanic removes winning symbols from the grid, and these are then replaced by new and/or existing symbols that drop down to fill the gaps. This repeats as long as you keep winning.

You need 3+ scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and it comes with an optional upfront VIP Free Spins Gamble.

• Remove Two - removes 2 wrong suits, making the feature a 50/50 gamble.
• Winning Odds - highlights the suit that is most likely to win.
• All Odds - reveals the odds of the correct suit.

The gamble feature is a card suit guessing game as you probably understand, and the free spins ladder comes with 2 safety levels. Reach 10 FS or 20 FS, and you’re guaranteed to get at least that number no matter what. Losing the gamble at the 8 FS rung takes you back to the base game, so be careful.

The free spins round comes with a progressive win multiplier that starts at x1, and it increases by +1 per Reaction win.

The 200 Spins Vegas Megaways Slot Experience

You get to see a few smaller wins in the base game, before we purchase the top-tier 20 FS bonus round at 0:47 into the 4:13-minute highlights video. We got the ‘remove two tip’ in the gamble round, but we lost on the very first guess. We thus ended up with our initial 20 FS, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Unless you’re a huge fan of Las Vegas, or a US player, we see no reason to prefer Vegas Megaways over the original Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megaways. Big Time Gaming has confirmed that this reskin release is aimed at US players mostly, since WWTBAM is not available in that jurisdiction. The blurred Vegas slot machine hall visuals are nicely done though, but we prefer the original to this.

It’s about time that Big Time Gaming gives players a turbo spin option, as the pace wasn’t all that impressive in this release. Double clicking the spin button helps, admittedly, but you get tired of that after a while.

Pros

• Reaction wins and up to 117,649 Megaways
• FS w/ pre-gamble game to get up to 50 FS
• Safety levels at 10 and 20 FS in the gamble
• Unlimited progressive win multiplier in FS round
• Win up to 72,310x your stake

Cons

• Reskin of Who Wants to be a Millionaire Megaways

If you appreciate Vegas Megaways Slot you should also try:

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megaways - was the first ever branded release from Big Time Gaming, and it’s based on the popular game show by the same title. The pre-bonus gamble feature makes more sense in this context, as it’s based on how things work in the game show. Other than that, it’s the same game as the one at hand for all intents and purposes.

Hot Spin Megaways - is an iSoftBet release with a fruity machine inspired theme, and you can get 9 different modifiers from the Hot Spin Wheel during cascading sequences. The bonus round comes with 3 starting multiplier options, and the max win is a solid 50,000x your stake.

Slot Vegas Megaquads - is another Vegas-themed installment from Big Time Gaming, and it’s also their Megaquads debut release. This gives you 4 reel sets, and rainbow wilds connect two reel sets for up to 65,536 win ways in the base game and 16,777,216 ways in the bonus round.
