MegaNova

You are in command of the spaceship as it drifts around the solar system, in search of new planets and great adventures. The crew is waiting for your command, and all you have to do is hit a single button: “spin”. 

That’s how you can feel while playing MegaNova, a video slot that puts you in command of a spaceship that travels through the universe. It has plenty of planets, stars and surprises, now we have to figure out together whether it can keep you entertained or not. 

Theme

The game has a beautiful setting, the reels sit among the stars but the background is not static. You can see shooting stars behind the reels, and when they pass through their movement is accompanied by a nice sound effect. 

The whole thing is based on planets and stars, it feels like you are aboard a spaceship that moves around the solar system looking for the biggest possible wins. There is a nice electronic music tune playing in the background, while the sound effects are very well put together. 

Betting Options and Functions

This is a rather unusual video slot when it comes to its setup, it has six reels and six rows and it has cluster pays instead of the regular lines. Adjacent symbols form a cluster and if you get enough of them together you will be awarded a win. 

In this game, you need at least ten low-paying symbols in a cluster to get a win, while for high-paying symbols you only need eight of them. The high-paying symbols are planets and the most valuable one is, obviously, Earth.

The product has medium volatility and a RTP (return to player) of 96,48%. 

Features

The base game is incredibly enjoyable, most likely thanks to the tranquil soundscape and beautiful graphics, but the special features make it even more entertaining: 

• Wilds and Respins

The Sun is the Wild in this slot but it doesn’t behave like your usual wild symbol, it appears randomly and transforms into a group, taking up four adjacent spots! Moreover, the four resulting Wilds become sticky and trigger a respin! 

That respin puts the spaceship into another gear, you will see it advancing through the stars until the reels settle. An additional respin can be triggered if more Wilds pop up. There can be at most three such respins.

But wait, there’s more! If expanded Wilds overlap they will create a win multiplier which will be applied to any cluster that has them included. That can lead to amazing wins of over 1,670 times the stake! 

Conclusion

MegaNova is a very entertaining video slot from Spearhead Studios, traveling alongside the stars is really fun and in this game it can also be very rewarding. The developers designed this product with great attention to detail and that is always a big plus in my book. 

The graphics are very good-looking, the soundtrack is enjoyable as well, making the whole gameplay experience very immersive. Moreover, the cluster pays mechanics and the special features make the game even more appealing.
