RTG has come up with something different. This time around, the software developer has created the fantastic Megasaur, a dinosaur-style progressive jackpot slot. It features five reels and 20 paylines. In addition, it added a wild Megasaur symbol, multiplier, Scatter icon, and a bonus game round to sweeten the pot. The dark 5-reel grid circles colored bricks. The jackpot sits on top of the game grid, with the game controls being visible at the bottom. The symbols as you spin the Megasaur reels include different dinosaurs and the car symbols 9 to A. The latter is disappointing, as Real-Time Gaming could have added a few more themed characters for further user satisfaction.
About Megasaur
The game has subtle sound effects that do not disturb the playing session. In addition, Megasaur is an HTML5 slot machine, which means that the products, sounds, and graphics are identical on desktops, laptops, and other intelligent devices. Therefore, the game is suitable for all mobile devices, be it Androids, iPhones, iPads, or tablets.
Theme & Symbols
The slot machine Megasaur is the distant cousin of T-Rex. As the name mega implies, it's an apt name for a progressive jackpot slot. Unfortunately, if you're looking for a graphically rich game, you'll be disappointed since it does not offer much in this department. However, the thrill and excitement lie in the progressive jackpot payout of up to $1 million. Symbols across the reels are the Red and Green Megasaur wild substitutions, other dinosaurs, volcano Scatter, and cards from ten to Ace.
Betting Options
Before you play, select the coin denomination first. It is the amount you wish to wager per spin. There are three betting options: $1.25, $0.05 per payline, $2.50, $0.10 per payline, or $5 , and $0.20 per payline. Although it's a progressive game, the coin betting limit is quite low. That said, the maximum bet per payline is $5. Come to think of it, and it's not bad since you get a shot at winning a million bucks with it.
Bonus Rounds
When a green Megasaur appears on the second reel, it replaces all the other symbols except the Red Megasaur and Volcano Scatter symbol. When the red Megasaur appears on the fourth reel, it substitutes the other symbols except for the volcano and green Megasaur. The red Megasaur is more lucrative in terms of payouts because it doubles all wins if they appear in a winning combination.
Free Spins
When three or more volcanoes Scatter appear at any place on the reels, the free spins bonus round is triggered. To reveal the free spins you receive, click on each volcano. That's where it becomes interesting. The maximum number of free spins you'll receive is 50 if you manage five volcano symbols since each symbol awards ten free spins. Either way, you're guaranteed six free spins.
Feature Guarantee
Since it's a progressive jackpots slots, it can be very tight, but RTG has an ace up its sleeve. If you do not trigger the free spins bonus round after 250 free spins, the bonus round will be activated automatically.
Win-Win Feature
Suppose you don't manage any wins with the free spins, and the feature more than makes up for that. You'll receive 250x your initial stake. If you wager 2x to 5x your bet, you'll get up to 300x your stake. If lady luck still hasn't smiled on you yet, don't worry; RTG will. If you fail to win 2x your triggering stake during the free spins, Megasaur awards you 5x to 250x your triggering stake. You receive 20% of the jackpot with a stake of $2.50 a spin when you land four Scatter volcanoes. If you wager $1.25 a spin and hit three Scatters, 10% of the current jackpot pays out.
