9 Blazing Cashpots Megaways

Review

The original game may not have been a major success, but the Megaways engine often attracts attention. This Megaways version might gain more notice, pleasing fans of instant scatter jackpots. This isn't just another release; it's a significantly enhanced sequel.

The dynamic grid has fewer win ways because there's no top horizontal reel. Cascading Wins are also absent, resulting in a fast-paced chase for Cashpot prizes up to 25,000x your stake. Higher prizes are more likely in the bonus round, and those who can use the bonus buy feature may even get enhanced bonus round prizes up to 50,000x the stake.

Slot Features

The low-value fruit symbols pay 1 to 1.5 x your stake for 6 matching symbols, while the different colored 7 symbols pay between 2.5 to 4 x your stake for the same. Wild symbols of different sizes can also appear, substituting for pay symbols to help create wins. There are no Cascading wins in this version, which is unusual for a Megaways game.

You win the instant scatter pay prizes when you land between 8 and 25 Cashpot game logo scatters anywhere on the screen. The lowest prize is 5x your stake, increasing up to 2,500x for 23 game logo scatters. You need 25 game logo scatters to win the top prize of 25,000x your stake. Cashpots can be won at any point in the game.

The Bonus Round is triggered by 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters, awarding 9, 12, 15, or 18 free spins, respectively. Extra Cashpot scatters are added to the reels, increasing the likelihood of winning an instant cash prize. Star symbols can also appear, and every 3 collected awards +3 extra spins.

The Bonus Buy feature is available in some regions. The standard bonus round costs 49x your stake for 9 free spins, or 106.5x your stake for 18 free spins. Alternatively, you can pay 104.6x or 227x your stake for the Enhanced version with 9 or 18 free spins, respectively. These offer higher cash prizes, ranging from 50x to 50,000x your stake.

Experience

Watch for a few small wins in the base game before the Enhanced Bonus Round is purchased at 0:45 into the video. Decent instant cashpots are won.

Review Summary

This release does many things well, standing out in the crowded Instant Scatter Jackpot genre. New releases are constantly appearing, but this Megaways game should stand the test of time, being a superior installment.

The pace is excellent with the turbo feature enabled, and the instant prizes add tension. Getting extra spins in the bonus round seems relatively easy, improving your chances of larger cashpots. The top prize is impressive, and this game is worth checking out for fans of the genre.
