Theme – rock out with a wild animal band

A rock concert starring the animal band is the setting for the Rock the Reels Megaways slot. With the bright lights and stage in the background, there’s a cartoonish quality to the imagery here which is nicely done.

The rather raucous rock soundtrack blasting away in the background won’t be for everyone but it’s not too intrusive and there’s always the mute button for those with delicate ears!

On the reels you’ll see heavy metal-style A to 10 royals alongside a plectrum, tambourine, mixing deck, mighty set of speakers and records. The most rewarding symbol is the record which pays 15 x your total stake if you land 6 in combination.

On the horizontal reel you will see the members of the band. You’ll come across Freddie Roar (lion), Treble (flamingo), Dirty Axel (warthog) and Ozzy Eight (octopus). The lead singer (Roxy Renegade) appears to the side of the reel set. The spotlights symbol is the wild with the guitar acting as the game’s scatter symbol. Here’s a list of payouts by symbol:

Rock the Reels Megaways Mobile

You can play Rock the Reels Megaways on all devices including desktops, laptops, tablets and mobiles. Even with all the moving Megaways pieces, the visuals are up to the job if you’re playing the Rock the Reels Megaways mobile slot.

Rock the Reels Megaways Bonus Features

The 4 members of the animal rock band are central to most of the best action in Rock the Reels Megaways. When they land in the top reel window, they award an assortment of modifiers. You can land these extras in the free spins round as well as the base game. There’s a total of 6 bonus features.

Tumbling Reels feature

After a winning combination lands, the Tumbling Reels feature is triggered. The winning symbols are removed from the grid and new symbols drop down and replace them. A new payout consideration follows. If a new winner is formed a new cascade follows. These continue until there’s a cascade with no new winners.

Animal Modifier features

The 4 members of the animal band can appear in the horizontally spinning top reel. When they land, they each deliver an Animal Modifier feature for the spin and possible tumble(s). Here’s what they offer:

• Warthog feature: when this symbol lands, between 2 and 4 symbols on reels 1 through 4 will be transformed into wilds. A payout consideration follows with the new wilds in position.
• Octopus feature: land this in the top reel window and 2, 3 or 4 symbols will transform into the same symbol. This symbol will match 1 of the symbols already on reel 1.
• Flamingo feature: when the flamingo flies into view on the to reel, 3 or 4 symbols on reels 1, 2, 3 or 4 will transform into the most rewarding symbol.
• Lion feature: the lion modifier adds a pair of multiplier wilds to reels 2 and 3. These new wilds deliver a 2x boost in the base game.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered in the standard manner by landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters anywhere on the reels on the same spin. You can then look forward to 8, 10, 15 or 25 free spins respectively.

All of the animal modifiers can strike in the free spins as well as on any base game spin. The Lion multiplier is potentially even more valuable in the free spins. This is because the value of the multiplier will increase throughout the feature every time the Lion appears.

Finally, retriggers are possible here too. Land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters and another round of 4, 6, 10 or 12 free spins are added to your total. With no limits.

Rock the Reels Megaways Review Summary – classic Megaways action with some twists thrown in

The Rock the Reels Megaways slot takes the bones of this mechanic (the cascading reels, shifting number of Megaways and free spins) and adds some extras in the form of the animal modifiers.

The most lucrative is the Lion feature which adds multiplier wilds to reels 2 and 3. This feature is enhanced during the free spins as the multiplier value increases with each Lion that lands on the reels. The key to the bigger wins will come from this increasing multiplier naturally.

Rock the Reels Megaways works pretty well, offering a decent amount of variety as far as gameplay is concerned. The visuals and soundtrack are perfectly fine, too. Put that combination together and you have a very decent overall package.

Astro Newts Megaways (by Iron Dog Studio) has more in the way of bonus features. My favourite is still 1 Million Megaways BC as it offers up to 1 million ways to win plus 50,000 x stake max wins.
