Royal Mint Megaways

An impressive game, from an equally impressive developer, Royal Mint Megaways has been designed by Big Time Gaming.

The company became hugely popular over the last few years, thanks to their new Megaways game engine, which they’ve then exported to other developers as well!

They went with a 6-reel setup once again, and just as before...

...there are up to 117,649 Megaways present and helpful when it comes to forming new combinations!

The game will pay incredibly well, provided that you’re one of the lucky few that gets its best side, offering up to 41,300x the stake during free spins!

RTP is at 96.68%, another figure to be happy about and the title offers highly volatile spinning actions!

You will come face to face with varying features, such as

• Triple Reaction™ mechanic.
• Heartstopper™ Enhanced Free Spins Round with unlimited multipliers.

Luxuriously elegant game with excellent win potential!

Theme & Design

Get to visit the imposing historical halls of the Royal Mint on the Megaways slot from Big Time Gaming.

The game is based around the British Royal Mint which produces coins for the UK.

Paying homage to the century-old building that was home to the British mint from 1809 to 1967…

...you will be spinning the reels with up to 117,649 ways, cascading symbols and reactive wins. 

The colours are dominated by stone grey mixed with gold details...

...and two cherry blossom trees are flanking the reels to give it a bit of warmth.

In case you didn’t get the banking reference, a Monopoly inspired soundtrack plays in the background as you spin the reels.

There are also special effects which are a real treat...

...such as the laser beams and the gushing of gems and coins during the big wins.

Set inside the entrance pillars of the building, symbols include low-value A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals.

You will also see various gems - blue, purple, red and green...

...as well as a gem-encrusted wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols except the scatter!

Betting Options

The Royal Mint RTP is 96.48%, which is above average. This game’s volatility is really high...

...namely thanks to the 40,000x top payout.

You can play this title for just €0.20 a spin, with the maximum bet reaching €20 a play for those who like to high roll.

Regardless of the bet, the players always play for the possibility of triggering the full 117,649 ways to win!

Winning combinations are made of matching symbols on any row from left to right with three or more are needed to form a winning combination.

Special Features

As always, Megaways brings its Triple Reaction™ mechanic to up the win rate...

...their second game to do so after having been introduced in Opal Fruits.

It does this by removing winning combinations and replacing them with new symbols that fall into the gaps.

Reactions continue until no more winners appear.

The shiny rainbow-like wild is there to help out, and it appears only on the top and bottom bonus reels to substitute for any symbol except the scatter.

Symbols include gems, royals, and scatters (M-I-N-T).

The purple gem pays the most at 50x your stake for six icons.

Triggering the Free Spin feature will require you to land the letters M, I, N, T, anywhere on the reels.

If successful in this quest you will enter the bonus round and be awarded 12 free spins.

Additional scatters may also land or drop in from reel cascades, if this happens then each one will award you 4 extra spins to begin the feature with!

The bonus feature has a familiar feel to it...

...and you will begin the free spins with a multiplier that holds a value of x1.

Each successful reel cascade that you achieve will see the multiplier increase by x1, and there is no limit that it can reach!

More spins can be awarded during the bonus round through a re-trigger.

Scatter symbols can appear on the upper and lower reels only, and 3 rolling in view will award you 4 extra free spins, with each additional scatter that appears after that adding a further 4.

But, that's not all!

What you really want to happen is the game’s showpiece feature.

This is the Heartstopper™ Enhanced Free Spins round which offers better rewards, but which the game makes you work hard to crack.

Look out for 3 scatters appearing as this will reward you with a gold bar.

When you collect 40 gold bars, an extra scatter is added per spin...

...until the next Free Spins feature.

4 or more scatters in any position will trigger the Heartstopper Enhanced Free Spins feature.

Here, the win multiplier begins at 2x and increases by 2 with every reaction/winning combination!

Our Take

While it may offer an interesting theme, this title doesn’t differentiate much from fellow BTG slots in terms of features and gameplay.

The title looks great and is dominated by gold visually.

Though there is very little happening during the base game...

...Royal Mint relies entirely on the strength of its free spins and features!

This game does offer an interesting concept in Heartstopper Enhanced Free Spins. However, collecting 40 gold bars will take a lot of patience.

With a 96.68% RTP, it’s high variance game which offers maximum payouts of 41,300 x stake on each free spin.
