Merry Megaways Slot Game | Iron Dog Slots

Goodwill to all, gifts, and delicious food – why should all the good things about Christmas be restricted to just one month of the year?! And that includes the Merry Megaways slot from Iron Dog Studio, which brings a little festive happiness with just a few spins.

There’s all of the usual feel-good Christmas feeling, but there’s also the chance to collect real cash prizes with up to x20,000 hidden in Santa’s sack.

No Christmas-themed slot is complete without the big guy in red, and so you’ll find Santa supervising proceedings in his position next to the reels. In the backdrop is a snowy scene, with nutcracker soldiers standing to attention in the foreground. It’s enough to make even Scrooge feel warm and fuzzy inside because who wouldn’t secretly love a bit of Christmas at any time of the year – right?!

As the title suggests, this is a Megaways slot, and the board is set up just like the classic Megaways game. This means six reels, each containing a variable amount of symbols per spin, plus an extra horizontal reel across the top. With the maximum number of symbols on each reel, there’s the possibility of playing up to 117,649 ways to win. Betting is typically modest, stretching from 0.10 to 20.00.

It appears Santa isn’t at his most generous with this slot, as the RTP is a bit on the low side, ranging from 92% to 95.9% at best. It’s also highly volatile, meaning you could be hanging around in the cold for a while, waiting for Santa to unload the best prizes from his sack.

Game Features

The symbols in the paytable add to the seasonal scene with the playing cards as the low pays are topped with snow and ice. The high pays include some great festive treats, including a Christmas pudding, milk and cookies, candy canes, reindeer, an elf, and Santa himself. Wilds can appear on reels 2-6 to boost your chances of lining up a match.

If you’ve played a Megaways slot before, you’ll have encountered the Tumbling Reels mechanic, and it’s included in this slot too. This means that every time there’s a win, the winning symbols are removed, and new symbols drop into position. This repeats until there are no new wins visible.

On the top reel, up to one Christmas Cracker can land at any time. These are special wild symbols and aren’t removed during a tumble. When a tumble finishes, or if there has been no win, the Cracker implodes together with one random symbol from each reel, plus two extra positions.

There are also scatters on the board, and landing four will trigger the free spins bonus. The amount you’ll receive is awarded randomly from a bauble, with up to 11 free spins possible.

During free spins, a win multiplier increases by +1 for every tumble plus there’s a special Santa’s Sack feature. This adds extra wilds and more free spins. The final free spin is known as a Lucky Last Spin and will keep repeating for as long as you keep winning.
