Cash Lab Megaways

Cash Lab Megaways Review

A ‘Cash Lab’ might seem like a far-fetched idea. This game takes you to a lab, where you get to meet the scientist.

It’s a sort of alchemy for cash. His big innovation is the Wild Link system, which provides full wild reels and multiplier wild reels. You’ll also benefit from Cascading wins, Max Megaways, and a bonus round where sticky wilds can produce persistent Wild Link triggers via a Link Collection system. The 20,000x potential is solid.

Cash Lab Megaways Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 1 and 5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and both the regular rainbow Wild and the Gold Wild step in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins. Winning symbols are removed and replaced via the Cascading mechanic, and this gives you indefinite winning streaks per round as long as you keep winning.

The Max Megaways feature can trigger at random times, and it maxes out all the reels to give you a spin with 200,704 win ways. If you align wilds on the top and bottom tracker reels, the Wild Link feature triggers. This turns all symbols between them on the regular reels wild as well. If the feature triggers from at least one Gold Wild, the full reel wild gets upgraded with a multiplier that is guaranteed to be higher than the total number of symbols on the reel, tracker positions included.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 4, 5, or 6 scatters in view, and this gives you 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. You get 1 sticky wild on the top tracker reel from the get-go, and sticky wilds are removed from the grid if part of a win. However, they always return to the same position for the next spin.

L, I, N, and K symbols are collected above the grid when they appear, and each fully spelled LINK awards +1 extra sticky wild added to the opposite tracker reel of the previously awarded sticky wild (including the initial one). This also gives you +2 extra spins, and the collection starts over once you’ve filled the LINK letter meter.

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, can purchase the bonus round. This will set you back 100x your stake. The bonus round comes with an organic hit rate of 1 in 304 spins.

The 200 Spins Cash Lab Megaways Slot Experience

You get a pretty uneventful taste of the base game, before we purchase and trigger the bonus round at 0:36 into the 3:28-minute highlights video. We got the minimum of 4 triggering scatters, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

There is no doubt that this game is charming. 200,704 win ways is hardly unheard of, however, and several of the features have been seen plenty of times as well. You can expect the Wild Link feature every 51 spins on average, and it can lead to decent payouts once in a while. The same can be said about the random Max Megaways feature, but neither of the features come with a win guarantee.

The Wild Link feature is enhanced by the golden wild, which usually adds a solid multiplier to the full reel wild. Everything is taken up a notch when you get sticky wilds on the tracker reels in the bonus round. Aligning a few sticky wilds means that you get persistent wild reels per spin, which can lead to solid back-to-back payouts. The potential tops out at 20,000x your stake, which is hard to complain about, and overall Cash Lab Megaways is a highly entertaining game that features a mix of classic and innovative modifiers.
