Blockchain Megaways Slot Review

10/08/2022 | Categories: Booming Games Slots | Published by: Joe | Last updated: 05/01/2024

Okay, we promised that we were going to review games from a previously unfeatured provider on BTCGOSU. The choice fell on Booming Games, and here is the second review for a Booming Games slot on our site. We already went into the history of this company slightly in our evaluation of their Monster Truck Madness game, so here we will only mention that Booming has licenses from the MGA, SGA, UKGC, and the Italian Autonomous Administration of State Monopolies. It got awarded the Rising Star award at the 2020 International Gaming Awards and was short-listed in three categories for the EGR B2B ones that same year.

In this article, we are looking at their Blockchain Megaways title, a game that first got released to exclusive platforms on May 20th, 2022, and a week later got worldwide distribution. It did not make a dramatic splash on its launch but has maintained an adequate popularity level in the past few months, enough to get our attention.

Theme & Design

These days, probably anyone that is somewhat computer savvy knows a little about blockchain technology. If you are on this site, reading this, you are in the loop. Still, since we are kind souls, we will provide a simple definition for those few who don’t know what this term means precisely. It is the digital ledger network system that appeared along with Bitcoin in 2009, used to power the world’s initial cryptocurrency. In short, a blockchain is an internet notebook maintained across several computers, linked in a P2P scheme of sorts, that gets used to record online transactions. Given that this ledger gets held on multiple computers, it is impossible for someone to cheat this system and make changes within it without anyone else noticing.

The presentation of Blockchain Megaways is definitely appropriate. The game uses a Matrix-like grid for its backdrop and other visual elements that draw inspiration from this famous sci-fi film. Other than that, and mentioning that this game gave off some Starburst vibes, we cannot say too much else about its presentation. We liked the instrumental tune used for its soundtrack but did not fancy the sound effects, feeling that they were out of place in this game. They interrupted the mood the music set by appearing too abruptly and being too loud. Also, we thought the robot-like voice announcing the Free Spins mode was lame.

The button configuration used here is the same one Booming Games utilizes in their other newer reel-spinners. You can find the spin button in the bottom right, and all the other game options are above it.

Specs & Gameplay

Blockchain Megaways is a six-reel slot that implements Big Time Gaming’s Megaways engine and the cascading mechanic. It can have up to 200,704 win ways when the Max Megaways feature is active. The max exposure of this Booming release is x40,320, but don’t get overly excited, as the max bet size here is only $10, while the minimum one is $0.2. The variance setting of Blockchain Megaways is high, and the default RTP of this spinner is 96.5%. The hit frequency gets listed as 19.78, with the odds of gaining entry in the Free Spins round being one in four hundred and sixty-one.

The game pays from left to right for symbol combos that land on adjacent reels. The ruble, lira, yen, pound, euro, and dollar signs are this slot’s low-paying tokens providing rewards of x1x to x1.5 for six matching symbols of this batch landing on the same spin. The Dogecoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin icons are the premiums here, awarding wins of x5 to x20 for six matching symbols from this group appearing on the game layout on the same reel rotation.

Blockchain Megaways’s Wild is the word itself, substituting the pay tokens. But not the bonus ones. A Guy Fawkes mask is the mystery symbol. These tokens can appear randomly. When they do, they transform into the same pay one. Gold coins represent money symbols. These can have values up to x50 and require the collect one (QR code) for their multipliers to get tallied and awarded. The Scatter here is the phrase Free Spins.

Bonus Features

We sort of inadvertently explained all of the bonus features of this online casino product in the subheading above this one. Hence, we guess all that is left to discuss in this paragraph is the Blockchain Megaways Free Spins round. You need to hit four Scatters on the same spin to enter it, which will award you ten complimentary reel rotations. Inside this mode, you have an x1 starting multiplier, and each winning cascade increases this figure by an increment of x1. If you manage to land four Scatters inside this round, the game will give you five extra free spins. Buying your way in this mode is possible, but it comes with a price tag of x110 your bet.
