Dazzle Me Megaways Slot Review

Dazzle Me Megaways RTP, Slot Details & Wager Limits

Just like the original game, the Dazzle Me Megaways slot is played using a 6 reel machine. The set up is rather different in the sequel though, starting with the Megaways mechanic. On each spin, between 2 and 9 symbols can appear on each reel.

That alters the number of ways to win for that spin. If all 6 reels reach their maximum height, you’ll have 99,225 Megaways active. As usual for a slot that uses a Megaways game engine, winners are created by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1.

Stake levels in range from between 10p to £50 per spin. Click on the coins icon to change your bet size accordingly. There’s also a Turbo Mode and Autoplay function in some countries but not the UK.

The Dazzle Megaways RTP is 96.1% which is average for a Megaways game. The hit frequency rate is 23.63% meaning nearly a quarter of spins will result in a winning combination.

The volatility is in the medium bracket as the bigger wins will come from the free spins. The most you can win from a single spin and set of avalanches here is 50,000 x your total stake per spin. However. that is extremely rare as NetEnt state that a 10,000 x your stake win occurs once every 14,984,636 spins.

Theme – enter a world of dazzling gems

The design in the Dazzle Me Megaways slot is like a spruced-up version of the original. In case you’re wondering, that’s Dazzle Me. Set in the world of dazzling gems, the graphics and animations are crisp and clear.

You’ll hear a classic fruity-style soundtrack playing in the background while you spin. As usual for a NetEnt slot, the design here is bright and bold and the soundtrack bouncy and upbeat.

On the reels, you’ll find an assortment of gemstone symbols that appear alongside some classic fruity images including 4 leaf clovers, bells and lucky 7s. The lucky 7 is the most lucrative symbol, paying 3 x your total stake if you land 6 on adjoining reels.

The diamond is the wild. This can substitute for all the standard symbols when it makes up part of a winning combination. Wild can fill whole reels too. These Dazzling Wild Reels are in play throughout the bonus round and can really get the action motoring when you trigger the free spins.

Dazzle Me Megaways Mobile

I’ve not always been a huge fan of playing Megaways slots on a small screen device but flip your smartphone into landscape mode and this plays rather well. The colourful imagery is clean and crisp when playing on a mobile or tablet device. The gameplay here is pretty straightforward which again makes it nicely suited to play on a small screen. The Dazzle Me Megaways mobile slot comes together well.

Dazzle Me Megaways Bonus Features

With 4 bonus features, the main extra in Dazzle Me Megaways is the Free Spins feature. Boosting your chances here are special Dazzling Wild Reels which turn whole reels wild.

Avalanche feature

After a winner has been formed, the Avalanche feature follows. Those successful symbols are blasted off the reels and new symbols drop into the vacated positions. A new payout consideration is then made with the new symbols in place. The avalanches keep on coming as long as a new winner is created. This also can be found in the original Dazzle Me slot game.

Dazzling Wild Reels feature

The Dazzling Wild Reels feature can become active at random on any base game spin and turn up to 3 reels totally wild. The only reel that cannot become a Dazzling Wild Reel is reel 1. After an avalanche, the Dazzling Wild Reels will still be filled with wild diamonds.

Free Spins feature

To trigger the Free Spins feature, you’ll need to land 4 Free Spins symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Your reward is 8 free spins. You’ll receive 4 more free spins on top of that minimum allocation for each extra free spins symbol that hits on the triggering spin. Landing 6 free spins symbols for example will give you 16 free spins.

During the feature, at least 1 reel will be turned into a Dazzling Wild Reel. The whole of that reel will be wild for that free spin and any subsequent avalanches that follow.

Then you have the Dazzling Wild Reels feature. The number of wilds that appear in a Dazzling Wild Reel starts at 2. There are opportunities to add to that number though. Each time you land a win that includes a wild, the counter for that reel increases by 1.

The next time this reel is the Dazzling Wild Reel, there will be 3 wilds on it rather than 2. You can keep on increasing the Dazzling Wild Reel Counters for each reel throughout the feature.

Finally, the Megaways mechanic and avalanche wins are active during the free spins, just like in the base game. This means the Avalanches work in conjunction with the Dazzling Wild Reels.

Dazzle Me Megaways Review Summary – familiar but also fresh

There are plenty of similarities between the original Dazzle Me and the Dazzle Me Megaways version. The design is very similar and the almost triangular reels have a familiar look to them.

There are some key differences when it comes to gameplay, starting of course, with the Megaways mechanic and the avalanche reels. The linked reels from the original have gone though.

They have been replaced by free spins and wild reels which increase in length as you land wins that include a wild. It’s a tidy new addition and adds something different for a Megaways slot which is often filled with the same old features.

Dazzle Me didn’t seem an obvious choice for a sequel or a Megaways upgrade. This Megaways version from NetEnt is nicely done though. It keeps the shell of the original but ramping up the action with a game engine that offers up to 99,925 ways to win. If you enjoyed the original, the Dazzle Me Megaways slot game is worth a closer look. Especially as it offers 50,000 x stake max wins.

You should also look at other NetEnt Megaways slots like Piggy Riches Megaways and Divine Fortune Megaways which have been just as popular as the originals.
