Vegas Dice Megaways

The Vegas Dice Megaways slot by Iron Dog Studios treats us to a night-time view of Vegas in the background while dice spin on the reels. All this is accompanied by a catchy soundtrack with some cool bass guitar chords kicking in when the reels are idle.

The 6-reel grid can create up to 117649 ways to win when every reel is fully loaded with 7 symbols, and these can become locked open in the free spins, thanks to one of the features in the round. There are also multiplier Wilds and a progressive win multiplier to look forward to.

The symbols on the paytable are all dice, with single die showing 1 to 6 pip as the low-pays and Chinese character dice as the high-pays. The most valuable symbol in the game is the lucky 7 die.

Combos of 6 matching low-pays are worth from 0.6 to 2x the bet, and the premiums pay out between 2 and 25x the bet for the same. The betting range is from 0.20 to 20 per spin.

Every win is followed by a cascade, which removes all the symbols involved from the grid and allows the remaining ones to fall into their place while new ones tumble in from the top. This can lead to multiple wins for the price of one spin, and, in this game, much more. For one thing, the cascades fill in for scatters which don’t appear on the reels.

Game Features

There’s a Wild die that can substitute for any of the regular symbols to help complete wins. It can also land with a win multiplier of x2 attached. Up to three multiplier Wilds can land on one spin, and if more than one is involved in forming a winning combination, the multipliers combine for an even bigger payout.

Despite the lack of a scatter, the game still features a Free Spins round. This needs at least 4 consecutive cascade wins to trigger with 8 free spins, and  5, 6 or 7 consecutive tumble wins will award 10, 12, or 14 free spins.

During this bonus round, the win multiplier, which starts at 1x, increases by 1+ after every cascade win and doesn’t reset between spins. When a reel lands its full complement of 7 symbols during the free spins, it remains locked at that height for the rest of the round and adds +1 to the multiplier and +1 spin to the round. 4 consecutive cascade wins adds =2 spins to the remaining total, and =2 for every cascade win over 4.

A Bonus Buy option allows players to buy 6, 8, or 10 free spins with locked reels for between 30x to 130x the stake, but this is only available to players in some jurisdictions, not including the UK.
