The reels are set within a wooden mine frame. There you’ll find 5 lower value gemstone symbols embedded in blocks of stone. They’re joined by 5 more lucrative square gems.

Mega Mine Bonus Features

With 3 bonus features, the gameplay in Mega Mine combines the familiar alongside something more innovative. Central to much of the best action are the Mystery Nudging Stacks. There’s also a free spins bonus where the Mystery Stacks can also come into play.

Nudging Mystery Stacks feature

The bearded miner pushing the cart is the Nudging Mystery Stack symbol. These can land on all 5 reel. Each stack comes with a number between 2 and 5 attached. The Nudging Mystery Stack nudge up or down until they cover the whole of the reel.

Each time a nudge happens, the value increases by 1, up to a maximum of 8. If all 5 reels contain 8 symbols each, you’ll benefit from 32,768 ways to win (8x8x8x8x8).

When the nudging has been completed and the Mystery Stacks have filled a row, the Mystery Stacks will all reveal the same matching symbol. Unusually, 2 payout considerations are made here. Initially, when the Nudging Mystery Stacks first appear then after the nudges have been completed and the symbol transformation has taken place. This is known as the Nudging Mystery Stacks feature.

Mega Free Spins feature

Scatter symbols can only be revealed via the Nudging Mystery Stacks. Unveil 2 scatter symbols and you’ll trigger the Mega Free Spins feature and with it 6 free spins. Each extra scatter from the triggering spins adds 1 more free spin to that total.

The gameplay during the free spins is similar to the base game. There are a couple of tweaks worth noting though. Firstly, you can expect to see more Nudging Mystery Stacks during the free spins than during the base game.

Second, the Nudging Mystery Stacks can transform into wilds during the free spins which can give your winning chances a real leg up.

In some territories, players can buy your way into the Mega Free Spins feature at a cost of 70 x your total stake. Called the Buy Free Spins feature, this option isn’t available to players in the UK though.
