90’s Mania Megways Slot Review

90’s Mania Megaways RTP, Details & Wager Limits

As the name suggests, the 90’s Mania Megaways slot is a Megaways slot – duh. This means it boasts Big Time Gaming’s popular mechanism, with 6 reels and up to 117,649 ways to win. Each reel can display between 2-7 symbols, and you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels to create a win.

You can play 90’s Mania Megaways for as little as 20p, up to £10 per spin. This isn’t the largest betting range, but its quite common for Megaways titles to accept lower max bets. To adjust your stake, you can simply click the coins icon below the reels.

Outside of the UK, 90’s Mania Megaways comes with an Autoplay option, which you can activate using the button to the right of the reels. You can use to spin between 10 and 100 times without clicking.

The slot has an RTP rate of 96.43%, or of 96.7% when buying free spin, and a high volatility rating. 90’s Mania Megaways also offers max wins of 50,000 x your stake. Bigger wins come via the free spins feature, which boasts increasing multipliers.

Theme – Millennials, this is the slot for you

If you grew up during the 90’s then you’ll instantly feel a hit of nostalgia when you load up the 90’s Mania Megaways slot. As the name suggests, this game is based on the 90s and it’s filled with various popular artifacts from the decade. With the release of Barbie the Movie and the resurgence of crop tops, cargo pants and chokers, the theme feels very on-trend.

That said, whilst we love the idea of this theme, we would argue that the background and graphics are a little more 80s. The reels hang against a purple cityscape and, upon them, lower paying symbols include 9 to Ace neon royals. The upper half of the paytable includes Rubik’s cubes, Tamagotchis, and Gameboys. The boombox is the highest paying symbol, rewarding you with 50 x your stake for a 6 of a kind combination.

90’s Mania Megaways also boasts a wild symbol, which substitutes for all other regular symbols, and a mystery symbol. There’s also a bonus scatter that helps to trigger the Free Spins feature.

90’s Mania Megaways mobile

90’s Mania Megaways uses the latest HTML5 technology to run smoothly on mobile, laptop, PC, and tablet. Whilst we usually recommend playing Megaways slots on bigger screens, Blueprint Gaming have managed to make the game clear whichever way you play, thanks to bold and simple symbols.

90’s Mania Megaways Bonus Features

The 90’s Mania Megaways slot boasts 3 main bonus features, plus a Bonus Buy option for players outside of the UK. Read on to learn more about cascading wins, mystery symbols, and a free spins round that comes with increasing multipliers and a gamble function.

Cascading Wins Feature

Like most Megaways slots, 90’s Mania Megaways comes with a cascading wins feature. This means that when symbols contribute to a win, they are removed from the reels, allowing new symbols to fall in from above.

Symbols in the tracker reel (above reels 2, 3, 4 and 5) are also replaced from the right. Cascades continue until no new wins are formed, allowing you to win multiple times from the same spin.

Mystery Symbols Feature

Another popular feature in Megaways slots, in the base mystery symbols may land at random. When they land on the reels, they all reveal the same symbol, and new wins are calculated. Mystery symbols can reveal any symbol besides the scatter.

Free Spins Feature

Land 4 or more scatter symbols to trigger free spins. You will receive 8 free spins to begin with, though there is a gamble feature which you can choose to use before the round begins.

The gamble feature is played on a red and green wheel, and you must land in a green segment to increase your number of free spins. Land in a red segment and you return to the base game.

Once the free spins feature begins, an unlimited win multiplier starts at 1x and increases by 1 after every cascade.

During free spins, positions in the tracker wheel can also award extra spins. Land 3 extra scatters in the tracker wheel for 5 extra free spins, or 4 scatters for 10 extra free spins,

Bonus Buy Feature

If you’re playing outside of the UK, you’ll find a ‘Mania Bet’ button to the left-hand side of the reels. This costs 50 x your current bet and gives you immediate entry to the free spins feature with 8 free spins. If you use the Bonus Buy feature, the RTP rate also rises to 96.7%.

90’s Mania Megaways Slot Review Summary — quite a standard Megaways title

As mentioned earlier, we were excited by the theme but ultimately a little disappointed. Whilst the 90’s Mania Megaways slot looks great, we think Blueprint Gaming could have took the idea further, or at least not relied on generic ideas which were also popular in the 80s.

Unfortunately, we were also disappointed by the slot’s features. The free spins round, with increasing multipliers, is the key to winning big. However, this is a feature we’ve seen plenty of times before, and it doesn’t really tie into the theme either. We’d have loved an innovative bonus game or more exciting animations instead.

Elsewhere, the gameplay is also fairly standard. Mystery symbols and cascades are found in most Megaways and Blueprint Gaming slots. The 96.43% RTP rate and 50,000 x bet max wins are promising, but we don’t think reaching these heights is very plausible.

Overall, the 90’s Mania Megaways slot might be appealing if you love the classic Megaways mechanism. That said, we think there are plenty of other Megaways titles with more interesting bonus features and well-executed themes.
