Theme: legendary apex predator is back and hungrier than ever

With a shark theme, the Mega Don: Feeding Frenzy slot is the sequel to Mega Don (released in July 2022). In this game, the legendary apex predator is back and hungrier than ever. According to Play ‘n GO, he’s returned from the abyssal depths of the ocean and ready for, you guessed it, a feeding frenzy. He’s joined by the Hammerhead and Leopard sharks this time around.

The game is based on the Megalodon: an extinct species of megatooth shark that is considered to have been the largest shark that ever lived. It lived between 23 and 2.6 million years ago. For reference, megalodon means giant tooth.

Back to the slot: Mega Don: Feeding Frenzy has similarities visually to the original game but things have been ramped up a few notches. Offering clearer and more immersive imagery, the setting is similar (bird’s-eye view of the water). However, the symbols are bigger and the animations are a lot more in your face which brings the game to life. The soundtrack does remind me of the iconic Jaws movie and comes to life in the bonus features.

On the reels, there are various fish and sharks. The higher-value symbols are represented by leopard, hammerhead and Mega Don sharks. Naturally, the Mega Don Shark symbol is the best-paying offering 0.5, 1, 2 or 6 x bet for 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Then you have the Coral Wild symbol which appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and/or 5. It substitutes for all paying symbols. Finally, there is a Golden Fish Scatter symbol which triggers the Shark Feast feature (more details below).

Mega Don: Feeding Frenzy Mobile

With the release date on the 7^th of December 2023, Mega Don: Feeding Frenzy will adapt to whatever device you play on. Available to play on desktop, tablet and mobile devices, it’s compatible with iOS and Android smartphones.

Mega Don: Feeding Frenzy Bonus Features

Mega Don: Feeding Frenzy slot comes with 2 bonus features. With a random Snack Time that upgrades up to 3 fish symbols into a random shark, it’s all about the Shark Feast free spins where you choose from 3 sharks. Each with their own number of free spins, you play with up to 108 sharks on the reels. Retriggers give you more upgrading fish symbols as well as extra free spins.

Snack Time feature

In the base game, the Snack Time feature can be triggered randomly. Up to 3 random small fish symbols can be activated and upgraded into any Shark symbol. If the selected upgraded symbol lands, they will then proceed to transform into a shark symbol. Also, the randomly selected shark increases its numbers on the reels.

Shark Feast feature

The Shark Feast feature is played when you land 3 or more Golden Fish Scatter symbols. 3, 4 or 5 scatters will also award a 2, 15 or 50 x bet payout respectively. You then get to choose which shark to play:

The more free spins you opt for, the lower the volatility. However, going for a higher variance option will see you play with fewer free spins but with more of that shark on the reels.

Furthermore, at least 1 fish symbol will be upgraded from the beginning of the feature. You can activate all 6 low-value fish symbols. When upgrading symbols appear, they upgrade to the shark chosen at the start of the free spin. Now, selected upgrading symbols will remain active until the end of the feature.

Finally, 3, 4 or 5 scatters will award 2, 4 or 6 additional free spins as well as 1, 2 or 3 extra upgrading symbols respectively. Retriggers can lead to 20 free spins and 6 upgrading symbols in total.

Mega Don: Feeding Frenzy Verdict: fans of the first outing will like that it offers double the bite

The Mega Don: Feeding Frenzy slot follows on from the popular Mega Don released in July 2022. With the original game being quite the hit, Play ‘n GO has decided to go bigger and better in the sequel. Visually, the graphics are much sharper with more detail in the characters and imagery.

When it comes to the gameplay, the differences between the 2 slots are marginal. The Snack Time feature sees up to 3 fish symbols upgraded into any shark symbol. If you get the Mega Don, your wins will be bigger (as it’s the most valuable symbol).

In the Shark Feast feature, you get to pick the shark you play with. With the original game, you will get more free spins and upgrading symbols for landing more scatters. The key is to land retriggers which leads to up to 6 upgrading symbols.

Even though the Mega Don option gives you fewer free spins and is more volatile, the potential for more high-value Mega Don shark symbols on the reels is where the true win potential lies. With 20,000 x bet max wins possible, this is double the 10,000 x bet offered in the original Mega Don game. Play ‘n GO has even managed to keep the same RTP rate (up to 96.2%).
