Royal Mint Megaways Slot Review

Royal Mint Megaways Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

Royal Mint uses BTG’s classic Megaways game engine. The action takes place on a 6 reel machine with the number of symbols that appear on those reels ranging from between 2 and 7 with each spin. The more symbols on show, the more potential ways to win.

If all the reels contain the maximum number of symbols, you’ll have 117,649 Megaways in play. You win by landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 matching symbols or wilds on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

Bet levels here range from between 10p and £20 per spin. Use the arrows in the Stake box to adjust the stake. There’s a basic Auto Play function available in some countries.

The Royal Mint Megaways RTP is 96.68% which is well above average. The hit frequency rate is 35.69% so you can expect to land a winner on just over a third of spins on average. 

The volatility here is high so tread carefully. The maximum win comes in at 41,300 x your total stake. In the base game, max wins of 1,880 x stake can be won per base game spin. 

Theme – simple but classy

A rather grand looking bank is the setting here in this money-themed slot based on the Royal Mint. The reels are flanked by marble columns and blossom trees.

On those reels you’ll find A to 9 royals alongside a collection of brightly coloured jewel symbols. The most lucrative symbol is the purple gemstone, which awards 50 x your total bet if you land 6 on adjoining reels.

Look out too for the Wild symbol that substitutes for all standard symbols and can land on the middle 4 reels only. Like many BTG slots, it’s a simple design, but it works well enough.

Royal Mint Megaways Mobile

Royal Mint Megaways has been fully optimised for smaller screens on all devices including mobiles, tablets and desktop computers. The gameplay and design work really well, which makes for a great experience on mobile.

Royal Mint Megaways Bonus Features

As usual for a Megaways slot from BTG, there’s a decent range of features to get stuck into in Royal Mint Megaways. As well as the usual reaction wins there’s a free spins round with an expanding multiplier. Potentially, the Heartstopper Enhanced Free Spins are more rewarding.

Reactions feature

When a winner is formed a reaction follows. The successful symbols are blasted off the grid and new symbols drop in and replace them. A new payout consideration then follows. If a new winner is formed the process is repeated. Cascades continue until no new winner lands.

Free Spins feature

The main feature round is triggered in the usual manner by landing gold bar scatter symbols. You’ll need 4 of them that spell out the word MINT to activate the feature and with it 12 free spins. Each extra scatter on the triggering spin increases that total by 4.

Boosting your winning chances here is a win multiplier. This starts at the standard 1x but increases by 1 each time you land a reaction win. The multiplier doesn’t reset following a winless cascade either, it continues to rise throughout the feature.

Re-triggers are possible here too. Landing 3 scatters on the same spin adds another 4 free spins to your current tally.

Heartstopper Enhanced Free Spins feature

If you land 3 gold bar scatters on the same spin but just miss out on the bonus-triggering fourth, you’ll earn a gold bar which is added to a meter. When you have amassed 40 of them in the meter, an extra scatter is added to the reels on each spin.

Land 4 scatters when the meter is full and you’ll trigger the Heartstopper Enhanced Free Spins. Your reward here is 12 free spins. The potential from the multipliers is much improved when compared to the standard free spins round though.

The Heartstopper Free Spins begin with a 2x multiplier active. Each reaction win during this round boosts that multiplier by 2x. Once again, the multiplier can continue to rise throughout the feature. When the round ends, the meter resets and you’ll start collecting gold bars once again.

Royal Mint Megaways Review Summary – enhanced free spins is the highlight

The Royal Mint Megaways slot is classic Megaways fare from leading provider Big Time Gaming. There’s plenty of action from the reaction wins and free spins.

What makes this slot stand out are the Heartstopper Enhanced Free Spins where the multipliers can really get things motoring. It can lead to 41,300 x bet max wins which is high. 

It’s not the flashiest slot when it comes to sound and visuals but they do the job decently enough. It’s a mix of Bonanza, Opal Fruits, and Lil Devil thrown together to create Royal Mint Megaways in a sense. There are definite similarities, and if you enjoy volatile Megaways action, this slot is well worth a try.
