ABOUT DAFABET MEGAWAYS
Dafabet Megaways is one of a number of Blueprint Gaming slots that come with an oriental theme. But this is one provider whose stellar reputation is partly owed to their game diversity – both in regards to graphic and sound design, as well as gameplay style.
Blueprint’s upcoming Dafabet Megaways slot is a worthy addition to the developer’s collection of megaways pokies. Among their top megaways titles worth checking out include Buffalo Rising Megaways, Gorilla Gold Megaways, and Rick and Morty Megaways.
The megaways format is one of the slot’s highlights. However, the game also comes with other exciting features such as free spins, cascading reels, and a rising (dubbed ‘unlimited’) multiplier. The game’s betting limit ranges from £0.20 to up to £100 maximum stake per spin. The slot’s maximum payout appears to be 10,000 the bet, but this information isn’t specified yet.
THEMES, SYMBOLS AND PAYTABLE
Blueprint Gaming offers multiple titles with Asian or otherwise oriental themes and symbols. Dafabet Megaways is the second Asian-themed megaways slot in Blueprint’s catalogue after Thai Flower Megaways.
The Dafabet Megaways slot, however, has its distinctive marks, such as the mystery symbols and the unlimited multiplier. The game’s lower-paying icons are the 9 to A royals. The scatter symbol, which, as in every slot, is central to awarding free spins (FS) or unlocking a FS feature, is a square-holed Chinese gold coin. The Mystery Symbol is a wild-like symbol that turns into a regular symbol to raise the prospects of hitting a winning combination.
There is also a wild icon that replaces almost any other symbol for extended paying streaks. Medium and high-paying symbols included in the paytable are red, blue, and green gemstones.
RTP, VARIANCE AND PAYOUTS
With a decent payout rate (RTP) and medium to high volatility, players can expect balanced payouts.
The Dafabet Megaways RTP is set at 96.43% or a house edge of slightly less than 4%. This is only a theoretical RTP – how much the game will return over time relevant to the amount spent – meaning there will be fluctuations in regards to the amount won and how often players win.
But with patience and a smart gambling strategy, you can accumulate big sums, potentially even triggering the still-unconfirmed maximum win of 10,000x the value of the bet.
GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES
Dafabet Megaways is played on a 6-reel grid where up to seven symbols can land on each reel. Noteworthy features include the Mystery symbols, which can turn up anywhere on the reels on any spin and transform into an existing symbol, alongside the cascading reels, free spins, and rising multiplier. We’ll elaborate more on the gameplay and features in the next sections.
DAFABET MEGAWAYS PAYOUTS
Being a game based on Big Time Gaming’s megaways model, Dafabet Megaways has no traditional pay lines. Instead, the in-built random reel modifier brings a different number of symbols per reel (up to 7 on a single reel).
Since Dafabet Megaways has six reels, and each reel can land up to 7 symbols, the total paying combinations comes to a whopping 117,649 (7x7x7x7x7x7). Some megaways slots can boast up to 248,832, or even 586,971 ways to win. Each spin on the Dafabet Megaways slot creates a different number of winning lines, which is displayed in the top left box.
Many, but not all slot games, feature cascading reels. This, alongside the Mystery symbols and megaways mechanic, is what makes Dafabet Megaways stand out. Cascading reels add a tinge of excitement to every slot as they contribute to more winning lines. When you win, all winning icons will disappear, and new ones drop in their place.
DAFABET MEGAWAYS – FREE SPINS
The free spins feature in the Dafabet Megaways slot combines multiple features into one. Land three square-holed gold coin symbols anywhere, and this will initiate the FS round. A spinning wheel will appear that can land the player up to 30 FS.
The best part about the Dafabet Megaways’ FS round is that each cascading win is increased by a rising multiplier.
OUR VERDICT
Dafabet Megaways both is and is not just another megaways title found at most UK slot sites. Regarding design and game mechanics, it resembles other Blueprint megaways products such as Thai Flower Megaways or Eye of Horus Megaways.
However, the enticing combination of Mystery symbols, cascading reels, scatters, free spins, and unlimited multipliers classify it as a highly creative and distinctive invention.
