Beetlejuice Megaways

Review of the Beetlejuice Megaways Game

Some players might not be familiar with the horror/comedy film this game is based upon. The movie revolves around a deceased couple who seek the help of a poltergeist to get rid of unwanted residents.

The game includes familiar Megaways features like mystery symbols, cascading wins, and a bonus round with an unlimited progressive win multiplier.

The game has a standard RTP, and it's a volatile game. The betting range is from 10p to £500. The maximum win is capped at £250,000. Overall, it's a Megaways release that fans of the movie may find enjoyable.

What symbols are there?

Beetlejuice is the highest paying symbol, followed by Lydia Deetz. You'll also find other characters from the movie on the reels, as well as the low paying royals. Here's the paytable for the game:

• Beetlejuice - Pays 5x for 5 on a payline
• Lydia Deetz - Pays 2x for 5 on a payline
• Snake - Pays 1.6x for 5 on a payline
• Miss Argentina - Pays 1.2x for 5 on a payline
• Harry the Hunter - Pays 0.8x for 5 on a payline
• Royal symbols - All pay 0.4x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

The Cascading Wins feature is common in Megaways slots, where winning symbols are removed to make space for new symbols. This can lead to consecutive wins, and the feature ends when no more winners land.

Usually, the top half of the reel setup is closed, but if a symbol there is part of a cascading win, the top section opens up. This allows up to 12 symbols on all 5 reels, and up to 248,832 paylines via this Mighty Ways feature.

The Ghost symbol is the mystery symbol. When these Ghosts land, all instances of them are transformed into randomly chosen matching symbols, but a win is not guaranteed.

Free spins

The movie ticket with the word on it is the scatter symbol, and at least 3 are needed to trigger the free spins bonus round. Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters awards 8, 12, or 16 free spins, respectively. The bonus round has extra features.

There is a change of scenery, and a progressive win multiplier which starts at 1x. The multiplier increases by 1x for each win, and it does not reset on losing spins. There is no upper limit on this multiplier. Landing 3, 4, or 5 new scatters on a free spin awards 4, 6, or 8 extra spins.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There is no jackpot in this game, but there are solid payouts. The unlimited progressive win multiplier during the bonus round is where the big money is. The max win is capped at £250,000.

Where can I play?

You can play for real money at online casinos.

You can also play the demo for free.

You can also play on mobile and tablet devices.

Final Thoughts

A cult-classic movie from the 80’s might not appeal to younger players. It’s disappointing that a standard Megaways version was made. The blocked upper half of the reels is unique.

Opening the second half can lead to cascades, but the low paying symbols dampen the enthusiasm. The unlimited multiplier from the bonus round is needed, but landing the scatters is difficult. The max bet is high for a Megaways game, but the max win is capped.
