Mystery Reels Megaways

Mystery Reels Megaways is a 6-reel, 7-row slot by Red Tiger, released in 2019. Its published return to player is 98.06% and the provider rates its volatility as extreme.

How Mystery Reels Megaways plays

A Mystery symbol can land and copy itself a random number of times up, down, left or right; once placed, all copies flip to reveal the same paying symbol. Three scatters award 8 free spins, which can be taken or gambled on a wheel for up to 20, then 30, then 40 spins over as many as three spins; the lowest result from gambling is 4 spins.

Theme: Classic fruit machine. Filed under Fruit and classic.

Features in this game

  • Megaways: A ways-to-win mechanic where the number of symbols on each reel changes every spin, so the count of winning ways changes too.
  • Mystery symbols: Blank or question-mark symbols that all reveal the same randomly chosen symbol after the reels stop.
  • Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
  • Wheel bonus: A bonus round where a prize wheel is spun to award a cash prize, multiplier, feature or jackpot.
  • Gamble feature: An optional side game after a win that lets you risk it to double or multiply it, usually by guessing a card colour or suit.

What the figures mean

An RTP of 98.06% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 1.94%, so every £100 staked costs £1.94 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £3.88, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.

The provider rates volatility as extreme. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.

Published hit frequency is 39.13%, meaning roughly 39 spins in every 100 return something. Many of those returns are smaller than the stake.

Playing in Great BritainNo bonus buy in the game, so nothing differs for GB players on that point. Every online slot in GB runs with a minimum 2.5 seconds per spin, no autoplay and a stake cap of £5 per spin (£2 if you are 18 to 24). The GB rules.
