Reel Spooky King Megaways Slot Review

Reel Spooky King Megaways Slot Overview

Inspired Gaming has served up a real treat for fans of spooky season with this Halloween take on their classic Reel King Megaways release with Reel Spooky King Megaways. Fans of the original game will find familiarity in the cascading gameplay, but the theme is certainly a little different.

It seems the game’s trademark Reel King character has turned to the dark side; the crown is still in place, but beneath that, we find a vampiric version of the good old king, complete with pallid complexion and cape.

Such a creepy king deserves a suitably ghoulish setting, and our undead monarch certainly gets one. A full moon rises in the misty backdrop, whilst gently haunting music accompanies the tried and tested MEGAWAYS gameplay.

Of course, given the game’s cartoonish flavour, there is nothing truly horrific to be found here. Rather than being scared to death, you will find a bonus-packed experience and a spooktacular max win potential of £250,000.

For those seeking to put a Halloween spin on their slot experience, this game ticks a lot of boxes. The theme, visuals, and audio certainly strike the right chord – whilst leaning firmly towards the cute rather than the terrifying.

Lovers of the original Reel King title will feel right at home with the cascading mechanic, whilst the bonus rounds offer plenty of excitement thanks to the unlimited multiplier feature. Marks do however need to be taken off for the reduction in RTP. Other than that, there’s plenty of fun to be had with this Halloween treat.

How To Play Reel Spooky King Megaways Slot

The base game takes place across six MEGAWAYS reels – which spin to reveal up to seven symbols per reel – in addition to a horizontal sliding reel above reels 2 to 5. When combined, this creates up to 117,649 winning ways.

Wins are recorded by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels. Thanks to the game’s cascade mechanic, winning symbols will then pop out of existence, to be replaced by more symbols – a process which repeats until the winning sequence ends.

Reel Spooky King Megaways Symbols

Game symbols include low-paying 9, 10, J, Q, K, Cherries, Melons, and Blueberries, in addition to the higher-paying A’s and Cauldrons.

In keeping with the theme of the game, all symbols have been given a horror makeover – the A’s bear their teeth, the 10 has a bulging eye, and the fruit certainly doesn’t look like anything you would risk eating as one of your five a day.

The game’s Wild Symbol of the Witches Hat appears only on the top sliding reel and will substitute for any standard symbol to create a winning line.

Lighting the Way to The Bonus Rounds

Each time you click spin, between one and six reels will light up yellow, moving from left to right. An additional reel will then light up for each cascading win recorded on that spin. Light up all six reels, and you can grab your pumpkin and head to the three-tiered Bonus round.

Reel King Tier – Awarded for lighting six reels, with no additional cascading wins following the lighting of the sixth reel.
Super King Tier – Awarded for lighting six reels, plus one additional cascading win.
Spooky King Tier – Awarded for lighting six reels, plus two additional cascading wins.

Each tier of the Bonus round awards you with a differing number of Spooky King Mini Slots; one to two for the Reel King Tier, 2wo to three for the Super King Tier, and three to six for the Spooky King Tier.

Each mini slot contains just one three-reel, single payline and will display only Pumpkin symbols or blanks.

Three Pumpkin symbols will award a cash prize and keep that mini slot in play.

Mini slots also feature lit reels. Should all three reels light up, you will move one space along the Free Spins Trail at the top of the screen.

If a mini slot has a losing spin and does not light up all three reels, it will be removed from play.

The bonus round continues until all mini slots have disappeared, with the ultimate goal being to move far enough along the Free Spins Trail to trigger the Spooky King Free Spins round.

The winning section of the Free Spins Trail begins at eight free spins and ascends up to 25 free spins depending upon the tier of the round you are in.

Gamble Wheel

At the conclusion of the Free Spins Trail, you are given the choice to gamble to win more free spins.

Spin the Gamble Wheel at your own risk though, as should you land in a losing segment, a portion of your winnings and accumulated free spins will be lost – sometimes all the way down to zero.

Spooky King Megaways Free Spins Round

It is in the Spooky King Free Spins round where the real treats of the game are to be found.

During this Free Spins Bonus round, a winning line turns the first reel red. Each cascading win that follows will not only turn the subsequent reel red but also add +1 to the unlimited progressive winnings Multiplier shown at the bottom of the screen.

In the Bonus round, all lit reels are sticky and will remain lit during subsequent free spins. Turn all six reels red, and you will bring the Spooky King character into play.

Armed with two scrolls, Spooky King will reveal the following rewards each turn:

The first scroll award between zero and three additional free spins.
The second adds 0-3x to the progressive winning multiplier.

The longer the round goes on, the higher that winning Multiplier goes – greatly increasing your chances of a hair-raising mega win.

Reel Spooky King Megaways Slot RTP & Volatility

Reel Spooky King Megaways has an RTP of 95.56%, a nudge below the industry average of 96%. Not too bad overall, but a little disappointing considering the original Reel King Megaways offers an RTP of 96.23%.

The game is however slightly less volatile than Reel King Megaways, falling into the Low/Medium category. Low/Medium volatility games tend to provide the player with a pretty smooth ride, with wins cropping up with regularity.

On average, those wins will be smaller than in high-volatility games, but the £250,000 Max Win potential is very solid for a game of this rating.
