Danger High Voltage Megapays Slot Review

Danger High Voltage Megapays Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Danger High Voltage Megapays slot has 6 reels, 4 rows with a total of 4,096 ways to win. Landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, in any position and beginning on reel 1, will award a winning combination. With the highest value symbol, only 2 are required. Regarding the scatter, it can pay anywhere (not on successive reels).

Bet levels range from 20p to £25 a spin catering to all pockets. There’s a Stake box with arrows. Use these to change your stake accordingly. Outside the UK, there’s an Auto Play option which allows up to 100 autospins with loss and single win limits. Like with all Big Time Gaming slots, there’s no Turbo Mode.

The Danger High Voltage Megapays RTP is 96.39% which is better than the 96% slots average. Being a progressive jackpot slot, 9.44% of that return goes towards the 4 jackpots. That means the actual return rate is 86.95%. This is lower than the RTP in the non-jackpot version which stood at 95.67%.

The volatility is in the high category (5/5). Expect a win on nearly half of spins on average as the hit frequency rate is 43.47% (a win every 2.3 spins). As for payouts, the max win is 39,620 x your total bet. This will come from the free spins. In the base game, the top payout is 11,290 x bet. You can of course win a lot more from the progressive jackpots (more details below).

Theme – head back to an early 2000s disco

With a rock song/disco theme, the Danger High Voltage Megapays slot is the jackpot version of Danger High Voltage and is therefore based on the 2002 song of the same name from Electric Six. It has a disco feel visually with strobing lights and high energy at its core (pretty much like the whacky hit song).

The iconic song is the soundtrack which simmers as you spin in the base game. I love the fact you’ll hear ‘Fire in the Disco’ when you’re going for the illusive 3^rd scatter to activate the free spins features (more details below). Graphically, it depicts the crazy phenomenon that was the song. You’ll soon be addicted to it again.

Symbols on the reels include A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals. Then you have tacos, disco balls, gold bells and Day of the Dead skulls. Visually, they have a tattoo style to them. The Day of the Dead skull is the best paying symbol with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 awarding 0.5, 1.25, 3.75, 10 or 25 x your total bet.

Then you have 2 different types of wilds which both substitute for all symbols bar the My Desire scatter. Landing on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 (not the outer reels basically), you have the Wild Fire and Wild Electricity.

The Wild Fire occupies a reel fully and the Wild Electricity also does that but adds a 6x multiplier to any wins. You can get multiple Wild Electricity reels which sees the multiplier values multiply (i.e. Two 6x multipliers will give you a 36x multiplier overall).

Danger High Voltage Megapays Mobile

Despite the cult favourite song being released in 2002, Danger High Voltage Megapays has been created using HTML5 technology. This means it’s available to play on mobile, tablet, laptop and PC devices. This includes ones operating with iOS, Android and/or Windows. To experience the superb light animations and hear the song in all its glory, a desktop device is always recommended.

Danger High Voltage Megapays Bonus Features

The Danger High Voltage Megapays slot has 3 bonus features. 2 of them give you free spins with wild reels and multipliers as well as wild multipliers up to 66x and sticky wilds. Then you have the small matter of the 4 progressive jackpots.

Free Spins features

The free spins features can be accessed when landing 3 or more My Desire scatter symbols anywhere in view. A bet multiplier of 6, 20, 50 or 100 x bet will be awarded when you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 respectively. Then you have a choice to make. You play the Gates of Hell or High Voltage Free Spins features:

The Gates of Hell Free Spins feature begins with 7 free spins. 1 symbol is randomly chosen to act a sticky wild for the whole feature. It will appear on reels 2 to 5 (not 1 and 6 basically). When a reel is filled entirely with sticky wilds, 3 more free spins are awarded. This can lead to 19 free spins in total.

Finally, the High Voltage Free Spins feature starts off with 15 free spins. A High Voltage Wild reel can land on reels 2 to 5 during the feature. High Voltage Wilds multiplier adjacent wins between 11x and 66x when lit. 3 or more scatters landing will give you another 15 free spins, with no limits.

Megapays feature

As part of the Megapays family, you can randomly trigger the Megapays feature on any base game spin. Head to the Bellagio in Las Vegas where 1 low value symbol becomes the Megapays symbol.

A respin is then awarded. If the Megapays symbol lands, it locks in position with another respin won. The more Megapays symbols you land, the higher up the Megapays Ladder you’ll go. The higher up you go, the bigger the prize.

You will need 4 or more Megapays symbols to win a jackpot and 15 or more to win the Mega Jackpot. The Mega Jackpot will guarantee a minimum of £300,000 and the actual real-time jackpot is £1,656,323.55. Here’s what you need to do:

Danger High Voltage Megapays Summary – jackpot fire in the disco

The Danger High Voltage Megapays slot is pretty much like the non-jackpot version. Graphically, it’s identical. One of Big Time Gaming’s most popular games, the addition of Megapays was an obvious choice. It follows on from Bonanza Megapays, Star Clusters Megapays and Who Wants to be a Millionaire Megapays.

In terms of the gameplay, the Wild Electricity reels with 6x multipliers can lead to big wins in the base game (up to 10,800 x bet). When it comes to the free spins, opt for the High Voltage Free Spins feature. This is due to the potential 66x multipliers and infinite free spins. This can lead to 39,620 x bet wins on each High Voltage free spin. In the non-jackpot version, the max win is 15,746 x bet which is significantly lower.

The added wrinkle here is the Megapays feature. The chances of winning a big progressive jackpot are very small but there’s always hope. At the time of writing, there are 4 Megapays slots (3 from Big Time Gaming and 1 from Relax Gaming) so the Mega Jackpot will surely be over £1 million consistently. The first ever Mega Jackpot win came in September 2021 and was over £885,000.

In summary, Danger High Voltage Megapays gives you the chance to win a life-changing jackpot. Everything else is the same with the exception of the RTP which is naturally lower. I expect to see more and more Big Time Gaming slots offer Megapays jackpots though. It all depends on how you perceive jackpot slots.
