Spin & Score Megaways: Slot Overview
With the phenomenal popularity of football, it's a
wonder there aren't more football-themed slots kicking 7️⃣ around on the market. To be
sure, players have a bunch to choose from, but still, football being the world's 7️⃣ most
popular sport, and the level of passion (and money) poured into the teams and players,
it's interesting there aren't 7️⃣ more. Helping rectify the situation, and to ride the wave
of the 2024 FIFA World Cup, is software provider Pragmatic 7️⃣ Play with an online slot
based around the 'beautiful game' titled Spin & Score Megaways.
If you've ever wanted
to run 7️⃣ out onto the pitch to the sound of thousands of cheering fans, you can get a
taste of this in 7️⃣ Spin & Score Megaways. Okay, a small taste and a healthy dollop of
imagination wouldn't hurt, but the game is 7️⃣ set in the middle of a stadium, as confetti
rains down on the crowd on a nice day for an 7️⃣ outdoor sporting event. Unlike D10S
Maradona, which came out around the same time, the players in Spin & Score Megaways 7️⃣ are
all made-up characters, captured in various poses as the high-pay symbols. Despite zero
branding or name recognition, Spin & 7️⃣ Score Megaways has a positive spirit, brought
about in part by the bright visuals, and in part by the uplifting 7️⃣ house track.
Spin &
Score Megaways is played on a Megaways powered game panel that has 6 reels and a 4
7️⃣ symbol horizontally spinning bonus reel at the top. With each spin, a different number
of symbols can land, creating up 7️⃣ to 117,649 ways to win when fully expanded. On to the
math model, which has a 5 out of 5 7️⃣ rating for volatility, or high in other words, while
producing a maximum RTP of 96.55%, though lower models may be 7️⃣ available. Bets of 20 p/c
toR$/€100 per spin can be selected, and any device is suitable for use.
Wins are
awarded 7️⃣ in Spin & Score Megaways when matching symbols land on adjacent reels starting
from the leftmost reel. The tumble mechanic 7️⃣ removes winning symbols from the reels when
they hit, allowing new symbols fall into the gaps, and if they create 7️⃣ a new winning
way, the tumble mechanic triggers again, ending when no new win is formed. Hitting six
of the 7️⃣ 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 7️⃣ worth 2-20x the bet. Premium symbols are comprised of four
football players. Keep an eye on the top row for 7️⃣ 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 7️⃣ Wilds, and free spins with a pre-feature gamble
option.
Big Wilds
The Big Wild symbol appears only on the top row and 7️⃣ takes up two
horizontal positions. If the Big Wild is fully in view, it turns all symbols below it
into 7️⃣ wild symbols. If the Big Wild shifts position as part of a tumble and is still
fully in view, it 7️⃣ will trigger the wild conversion again. It does not trigger again if
it is not fully in view or it 7️⃣ does not move after a tumble.
Free Spins
Scatter symbols
land anywhere, and hitting 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 of 7️⃣ them awards 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, or 30
free spins, respectively. Before the round begins, if 10-18 free spins 7️⃣ were won,
players can opt to gamble them to win more. You cannot gamble if 26 or 30 were won.
7️⃣ Gambles take place on a wheel, and if successful, +4 free spins are awarded, or if
unsuccessful, all free spins 7️⃣ are lost. You can only gamble up to 22 free spins. In free
spins, a win multiplier starting at x1 7️⃣ is added to the proceedings. Following each
tumble, the multiplier increases by +1 until the end of the feature. Big 7️⃣ Wilds are
still present, and landing 3 scatter symbols triggers +4 more free spins.

Megaways: Slot Verdict
We mentioned 7️⃣ passion in the intro, but it's unlikely bucket
loads of the stuff were poured into the making of Spin & 7️⃣ Score Megaways. This is
because it is, beneath the sporty surface, essentially a reskin of Power of Thor
Megaways. Doubly 7️⃣ interesting in a way because around the same time, we'd reviewed
Legend of Heroes Megaways, which was also basically a 7️⃣ copy of the Thor game, as well.
Clearly, this formula is working out well for Pragmatic Play. Whatever the case,
7️⃣ gamblers who enjoyed the style of play supplied by Power of Thor Megaways or Legend of
Heroes Megaways can get 7️⃣ a third helping here.
Football is a long way from Norse
mythology or heroes, and the atmosphere is completely different. Gone 7️⃣ is the weight
that Thor naturally brings to a game, replaced by the airy lightness of football meets
techno. The 7️⃣ gameplay remains the same, where the thought of hitting Big Wilds in
conjunction with a lofty win multiplier in free 7️⃣ spins remains an enticing one. Like
Legend of Heroes Megaways, the bonus buy option has been removed, which may dent
7️⃣ desirability as triggering free spins organically might not be a walk in the park. In
the Thor version, and presumably 7️⃣ this one as well, free spins frequency was 1 in 510.
Last but not least, potential in all three versions 7️⃣ has remained constant at the
decent, but kind of so-so for Megaways level of 5,000x the bet.
So far, the progression
7️⃣ from Thor to homemade heroes to sports means if these mechanics are used in a fourth
game, there is no 7️⃣ telling what sort of theme it might have. As to enjoyment levels,
Spin & Score Megaways is solid if football 7️⃣ is your thing. The features perform as well
here as they have on the two previous occasions, so it's hard 7️⃣ to find too many faults
in Spin & Score Megaways except perhaps its inherent unoriginality.
