Pirate Kingdom Megaways
Pirate Kingdom Megaways Review
In this review, Pirates discuss Kingdom Megaways, which is the very first Slot with the Megaways mechanism from Iron Dog Studio! Partly because of this, we are already very curious in advance. Iron Dog Studio also has a license from Big Time Gaming so that they can finally get started with this mechanism. Since they have no experience in this area yet, we do not dare to make any predictions about the quality. However, this review will show what they have made of it. The theme, the pirates, is certainly not very original so we hope for some nice features!

RTP en Variance
The RTP, or return to player, for this game will be 96.20%. This means that the casino returns this percentage of all bets back to the players. The volatility or variance is medium/high. A high volatility means that you win less frequently, but large amounts.
The Design
The game looks good in appearance and in the background you can see a pirate ship on the sea. This brings you right into the atmosphere of the game. On top of this is the playing field consisting of 6 reels. On the left side of this you see the number of possible Megaways per spin. The other side of the playing field includes the Buy a Bonus faeture and a meter with which you can reach the Bonus round. All other options such as the bet determination and the ‘spin’ button can be found at the bottom of the playing field.
How does Pirate Kingdom Megaways work?
The basic principle of the game is as usual. Due to the 6 reels on which a maximum of 7 symbols can appear, there are a maximum number of possible Megaways of 117,649. You can see these Megaways as paylines on which you can make combinations with the same symbols. A combination must always start from reel 1 and can only use right-adjacent reels. In addition, a combination for almost all symbols must consist of at least 3 symbols. So you can conclude that a combination must have at least the same symbol on reels 1-3. The more reels/symbols you add to this, the higher the payout. Furthermore, game features and the Bonus Round, detailed below, can help you win big prizes!
How do you play Pirate Kingdom Megaways?
In terms of bet choice, you can choose between a minimum of 0.20 and a maximum of 20 euros! This is therefore the first step you should take. After this you really only have the choice of using the autoplay function or not. In addition, you can choose to buy the Buy Bonus feature, but this can also be done later in the game. Other than that, you can’t do much yourself and it’s just a matter of luck.
The Symbols & Prices
There are a total of 12 symbols including 5 basic symbols, 5 premium symbols, and 2 Wilds. We divide these into 3 categories that are provided with additional information below. Note: the payouts are given in coins and not in real money!
- The 5 basic symbols consist of the card symbols 10 to A. For a combination of 6 you respectively get 12, 12, 15, 20, and 20 coins.
- Next we discuss the premium symbols, consisting of a steering wheel, treasure chest, a male character, a female character, and a pirate. Respectively for a 6 of a kind you get 40, 40, 100, 150, and 500 coins!
- Finally, there are 2 Wild symbols, a ‘normal’ and the x2 Wild. The normal Wild has the usual feature where it can substitute for the above symbols. In addition, it can only appear on reels 2-6. The x2 Wild basically has the same function and can also appear on reels 2-6. However, it has a multiplier of x2 which doubles winning combinations in payout. There can be a maximum of 3 x2 Wilds in 1 turn and if they are part of a combination they will multiply each other. This can therefore yield a maximum multiplier of 2x2x2 = x8.
Cascading Reels
The Cascade feature cannot be missed and ensures that symbols from winning combinations disappear from the playing field. This creates space for new symbols. It is therefore possible that you make even more combinations within the same bet! This continues until no more winning combinations are made.
Bonus Round
There is no Scatter symbol as you may have noticed, but you can of course reach a Bonus round. You do this by making 4 consecutive combinations, which add up in the meter on the right. For 4 combinations you get 8 Free Spins and for every extra combinations above you get +2 Spins. This is possible up to a maximum of 14 Spins. During the Bonus Round, a multiplier is active that increases by +1 for each Cascade. This multiplier is unlimited! You can also win extra Free Spins with 4 consecutive Cascades, as this is good for 2 extra Spins. Each Cascade above gives an additional +2 Spins with no limit. There is one more Bonus game feature that we discuss below!
Locked Reel
If a reel consists of the full 7 symbols, it will be locked for the rest of the Bonus Round. This means a continuously greater chance of combinations. In addition, a Locked Reel is good for an extra multiplier of +1.
Buy a Bonus Feature
The Buy a Bonus feature has a number of options with different prices. You can choose from 3 numbers of Free Spins (6, 8, and 10) and 2 Locked Reel options (0 and 1):
- 6 spins, 0 Locked Reel: 30 euros
- 6 spins, 1 Locked Reel: 50 euros
- 8 spins, 0 Locked Reel: 50 euros
- 8 spins, 1 Locked Reel: 80 euros
- 10 spins, 0 Locked Reel: 90 euros
- 10 spins, 1 Locked Reel: 130 euros
Max win & Rating
The maximum win is 40,000x your stake, which can yield a large amount (800,000 euros). In addition, this game gets a score of 3/5 stars.
Conclusion
Certainly not a bad debut game in terms of Megaways for Iron Dog Studio! We especially like the mechanism regarding the Bonus Round. By this we mean the fact that you achieve this through Cascades instead of a Scatter symbol. In addition, we really like the Locked Reel feature and you have several choices for the Buy Bonus feature. As a result, you can also take a relatively cheap gamble with this feature. Furthermore, the maximum price is also very high. However, we find the basic game a bit boring and that is mainly because the only feature is the well-known Cascade feature. Therefore 3/5 stars.
