Spin & Score Megaways: Slot Overview
With the phenomenal popularity of football, it's a
wonder there aren't more football-themed slots kicking 💪 around on the market. To be
sure, players have a bunch to choose from, but still, football being the world's 💪 most
popular sport, and the level of passion (and money) poured into the teams and players,
it's interesting there aren't 💪 more. Helping rectify the situation, and to ride the wave
of the 2024 FIFA World Cup, is software provider Pragmatic 💪 Play with an online slot
based around the 'beautiful game' titled Spin & Score Megaways.
If you've ever wanted
to run 💪 out onto the pitch to the sound of thousands of cheering fans, you can get a
taste of this in 💪 Spin & Score Megaways. Okay, a small taste and a healthy dollop of
imagination wouldn't hurt, but the game is 💪 set in the middle of a stadium, as confetti
rains down on the crowd on a nice day for an 💪 outdoor sporting event. Unlike D10S
Maradona, which came out around the same time, the players in Spin & Score Megaways 💪 are
all made-up characters, captured in various poses as the high-pay symbols. Despite zero
branding or name recognition, Spin & 💪 Score Megaways has a positive spirit, brought
about in part by the bright visuals, and in part by the uplifting 💪 house track.
Spin &
Score Megaways is played on a Megaways powered game panel that has 6 reels and a 4
💪 symbol horizontally spinning bonus reel at the top. With each spin, a different number
of symbols can land, creating up 💪 to 117,649 ways to win when fully expanded. On to the
math model, which has a 5 out of 5 💪 rating for volatility, or high in other words, while
producing a maximum RTP of 96.55%, though lower models may be 💪 available. Bets of 20 p/c
toR$/€100 per spin can be selected, and any device is suitable for use.
Wins are
awarded 💪 in Spin & Score Megaways when matching symbols land on adjacent reels starting
from the leftmost reel. The tumble mechanic 💪 removes winning symbols from the reels when
they hit, allowing new symbols fall into the gaps, and if they create 💪 a new winning
way, the tumble mechanic triggers again, ending when no new win is formed. Hitting six
of the 💪 low-pay 9-A card royal symbols awards a payout of 0.6x to 1.5x the bet, while a
six-of-a-kind premium win is 💪 worth 2-20x the bet. Premium symbols are comprised of four
football players. Keep an eye on the top row for 💪 the golden ball wild symbol. It is
able to substitute for anything except the scatter or the Big Wild symbol.

Megaways: Slot Features
Like the two related slots which preceded it, Spin & Score
Megaways comes with tumbles, Big 💪 Wilds, and free spins with a pre-feature gamble
option.
Big Wilds
The Big Wild symbol appears only on the top row and 💪 takes up two
horizontal positions. If the Big Wild is fully in view, it turns all symbols below it
into 💪 wild symbols. If the Big Wild shifts position as part of a tumble and is still
fully in view, it 💪 will trigger the wild conversion again. It does not trigger again if
it is not fully in view or it 💪 does not move after a tumble.
Free Spins
Scatter symbols
land anywhere, and hitting 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 of 💪 them awards 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, or 30
free spins, respectively. Before the round begins, if 10-18 free spins 💪 were won,
players can opt to gamble them to win more. You cannot gamble if 26 or 30 were won.
💪 Gambles take place on a wheel, and if successful, +4 free spins are awarded, or if
unsuccessful, all free spins 💪 are lost. You can only gamble up to 22 free spins. In free
spins, a win multiplier starting at x1 💪 is added to the proceedings. Following each
tumble, the multiplier increases by +1 until the end of the feature. Big 💪 Wilds are
still present, and landing 3 scatter symbols triggers +4 more free spins.

Megaways: Slot Verdict
We mentioned 💪 passion in the intro, but it's unlikely bucket
loads of the stuff were poured into the making of Spin & 💪 Score Megaways. This is
because it is, beneath the sporty surface, essentially a reskin of Power of Thor
Megaways. Doubly 💪 interesting in a way because around the same time, we'd reviewed
Legend of Heroes Megaways, which was also basically a 💪 copy of the Thor game, as well.
Clearly, this formula is working out well for Pragmatic Play. Whatever the case,
💪 gamblers who enjoyed the style of play supplied by Power of Thor Megaways or Legend of
Heroes Megaways can get 💪 a third helping here.
Football is a long way from Norse
mythology or heroes, and the atmosphere is completely different. Gone 💪 is the weight
that Thor naturally brings to a game, replaced by the airy lightness of football meets
techno. The 💪 gameplay remains the same, where the thought of hitting Big Wilds in
conjunction with a lofty win multiplier in free 💪 spins remains an enticing one. Like
Legend of Heroes Megaways, the bonus buy option has been removed, which may dent
💪 desirability as triggering free spins organically might not be a walk in the park. In
the Thor version, and presumably 💪 this one as well, free spins frequency was 1 in 510.
Last but not least, potential in all three versions 💪 has remained constant at the
decent, but kind of so-so for Megaways level of 5,000x the bet.
So far, the progression
💪 from Thor to homemade heroes to sports means if these mechanics are used in a fourth
game, there is no 💪 telling what sort of theme it might have. As to enjoyment levels,
Spin & Score Megaways is solid if football 💪 is your thing. The features perform as well
here as they have on the two previous occasions, so it's hard 💪 to find too many faults
in Spin & Score Megaways except perhaps its inherent unoriginality.
