Madame Mystique Megaways

Madame Mystique Megaways Review

We still remember the mysterious and atmospheric soundtrack from the original Madame Destiny Megaways, which is saying something since we haven’t played it for a good while. Madame Mystique Megaways is a welcome reunion in that regard, as it’s basically the same game with a far better top-tier RTP of 98.01 % (or 98.03 % if you are eligible for the Bonus Buy feature). This version has been made available for a specific platform, and given the improved theoretical returns it might just be a good idea to check it out.

You might not see immediate results, of course, but in the long run it will pay off to play with such a high RTP. The original still attracts a decent amount of players, and we’re sure the platform hopes to capture some of them. The features are all the same, of course, and the main attraction is the global win multiplier bonus round. You get up to an x25 win multiplier in the feature, and wild wins are boosted by x2 in all stages of the game. The 5,000x potential is the same as well, and you still get up to 200,704 Megaways.

Madame Mystique Megaways Slot Features

You can choose to play with the Ante Bet turned on if you wish, and this will cost you 25 % more per spin. The benefit is that your bonus round chances are doubled. The premium symbols pay between 1.25 and 20 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, with the lizard as the top-tier symbol.

The Madame Mystique Wild symbol steps in for all pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and all wins involving the wild are subject to an x2 multiplier boost in all stages of the game.

Winning symbols are removed via the Tumbling Reels mechanic, and the gaps are filled by new and/or existing symbols dropping down. This process repeats for as long as you keep winning, and this happens in all stages of the game.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3+ scatters in view, and scatters can land on any reel. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 triggering scatters award 5x, 10x, 20x, or 100x your stake up front, respectively, and the number of free spins you get is determined by a massive Wheel of Fortune. The wheel gives you 5, 8, 10, or 12 free spins, as well as a win multiplier of x2, x3, x5, x8, x10, x15, x20, or x25.

The win multiplier is not determined by the number of spins, just to be clear, and it will boost all line wins during the bonus round. You can retrigger the feature by landing 3+ scatters on the same free spin, and this gives you another spin on the wheel of fortune. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake, and this increases the RTP slightly to 98.03 %.

Review Summary

The original Madame Destiny Megaways was a highly atmospheric release, which may explain its somewhat unlikely success. Most Megaways engine slots come with a progressive win multiplier in the bonus round after all, while Madame Mystique Megaways, as well as its predecessor, comes with a fixed win multiplier that’s determined up front. Getting a low multiplier will pretty much break your feature from the get-go, as you will most likely not win too much without a decent to solid multiplier in a game like this.

It’s theoretically possible, of course, thanks to the up to 200,704 win ways the dynamic engine is capable of, but in practice it rarely happens. The big selling point of this remake, which is exclusively available at a specific platform, is the 98 % RTP. It’s a smart move, as fans of the original game will have a strong incentive to sign up to play with a more favorable math model. The 5,000x potential is still a bit low for this engine though, but at least it seems achievable.
