Stargate Megaways Slot Review

Stargate Megaways Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Stargate Megaways slot uses the Megaways mechanic from BTG. With 6 reels and up to 117,649 ways to win, each reel contains between 2 and 6 symbols each randomly. The more symbols per reel, the more ways to win/Megaways. To play with 117,649 Megaways, you’d need 6 symbols on each of the 7 reels. A win is formed when 3 or more matching symbols appear on consecutive reels beginning from reel 1.

Stakes range from 20p to £10 per spin. To the side of the reels there’s a Coins icon. Click on this and use the plus and minus buttons to change your bet accordingly. There’s also an Autoplay function which allows between 5 and 100 autospins with loss and single win limits. This isn’t available for UK players though.

The Stargate Megaways RTP is 96% which is exactly bang on the online slots average. The volatility is in the medium to high bracket with the bigger wins coming from the bonus features. Expect a win every 2.24 spins on average as the hit frequency rate is 44.64% (which is high).

In terms of win potential, the maximum win per spin is 25,000 x your total bet. The larger payouts will come in the Bonus Game feature due to the wide range of modifiers available.

Theme – official slot for the sci-fi film

With a sci-fi theme, the Stargate Megaways slot is the official game for 1994 Stargate military science fiction film. It’s been created in co-operation with MGM Studios. This is evident in the look and feel as it has a cinematic quality. The film received mixed reviews but grossed $196.6 million worldwide from a budget of $55 million.

With high definition graphics, you will see the Stargate behind the reels. This is an ancient ring-shaped device that creates wormholes that allows travel to another wormhole elsewhere in the universe. The soundtrack is from the film which adds to the atmosphere. You’ll hear the Stargate Overture tune which is by David George Arnold.

Symbols include lower value A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals. The higher value symbols are represented a pyramid, Sarcophagus and characters Dr Daniel Jackson, Colonel O’Neill (played by Kurt Russel) and the Ra God (played by Jaye Davidson). The Ra God symbol is the best paying with 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination awarding 1, 2, 4 or 10 x your total stake.

The Eye of Ra medallion is the wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except the Eye of Ra symbol. You’ll also encounter Mystery symbols (more details below).

Cascades feature

The Stargate Megaways slot comes with 4 bonus features. Offering cascades, successive wins will lead to the Trail Modifiers which award random wilds, more ways to win, wild reels, mystery symbols and respins. It’s all about the free spins where they are 7 modifiers for even greater potential rewards.

Trail Modifier feature

The Stargate behind the reels is a trail which has 9 segments. Each winning cascade sees your progress on the trail increment by 1. Upon reaching segment 5, a random modifier is activated. With the trail only available in the base game, the trail resets on each spin. Here’s a look at the 5 modifiers you will be awarded:

Bonus Game feature

The Bonus Game feature is triggered upon reaching segment 7 or above. You are then awarded 7 picks from a screen displaying 15 doors. If a door reveals a matching symbol, you will win a modifier that applies during the free spins.

7, 8 or 9 segments on the trail will reward you with 5, 6 or 7 free spins respectively. Importantly, there are 7 modifiers in the free spins which are different from those in the base game. Here’s what to expect:

Buy Pass feature

For non UK slot players, there’s a Buy Pass feature. This allows you direct access to the modifiers or free spins. There are 4 options:

Stargate Megaways Review Summary – decipher the Stargate for 25,000 x stake max wins

The Stargate Megaways slot has to be one of the best looking games I’ve come across. The cinematic visuals and actual soundtrack portray the movie perfectly. That said, the slot game fairs better than the film which has mixed reviews.

In terms of the gameplay, consecutive wins will lead to trail modifiers being applied. I found the random wilds to be the most lucrative on most occasions. It’s all about the free spins where the modifiers are more fruitful and plentiful. Extra free spins are always welcome as to are the expanding wilds.

In my experience, the win multiplier modifier is by far the best one to get for obvious reasons. If you manage to combine this with expanding wilds, this will give you the best chance of achieving the max 25,000 x stake wins possible.

It’s worth nothing that it will take approximately 167 spins to trigger the free spins with an average payout of 73.55 x your total stake. Winning 1,000 x bet of over will happen once every 28,997 spins so it’s hard to win big.

With so many Megaways titles these days, players will always opt for the favourites like Bonanza and Extra Chilli. However, Scientific Games has managed to combine a popular film with lots of extras in both the base game and free spins. Overall, Stargate Megaways is a game that offers plenty of variety as well as big wins to appeal to Megaways fans and lovers of the film.
