Megasaur Slots
Megasaur reveals its theme from the last four letters of its short and punchy title. Everyone loves dinosaurs, right? If you are as keen as we were to find out more about the creatures in this slot game, sit right there as we have all the facts for you in this review. This is certainly one of the more memorable dinosaur-themed slot games you can play today.
Developer details for the Megasaur slot
When it was created, the game carried the Realtime Gaming brand with it. Nowadays, they are known as Spin Logic Gaming in some quarters, although still operate as RTG in other parts. So, whichever name you see, you'll know it's the same slot we are reviewing for you here.
Demo gaming with the dinosaurs
You can try this one quite easily without it costing you anything - just make sure you choose the demo version, as this comes with practice credits for you to use.
How many dinosaurs appear in this themed slot?
Quite a few, and while you may not be able to name them all, you might well recognize a few.
Where does the design take us?
Deep into a forest by the look of it. You can see the sky peeking through the canopy of trees, but it seems there might be a pterodactyl flying around up there as well. Nowhere is safe from these dinosaurs!
How to play the Megasaur slot
The usual five-by-three format is back in play here, so you'll no doubt feel familiar with that. You may also quickly spot the Megasaur jackpot above reel three, and it does indeed take on a mega size. It can potentially reach into seven figures at times.
Two Megasaurs arrive in this game - the green one on the second reel and the red one on the fourth reel. They are both wilds, and the red one offers a 2x multiplier too (the green one doesn't offer anything).
Many people still speculate on the event that wiped out the dinosaurs, but since we have a volcano acting as the scatter symbol in this game, we guess we know what the game developers think about that.
Available paylines to think about betting on
The game includes 25 lines, and you can see how those pan out by reading the details about the game.
This does not qualify as a penny slot game
This is the part where you begin to understand why the game has such a large jackpot. You need to bet more on the game than you would in other slots of this size. The smallest coin is five cents per line, equaling a $1.25 spin bet. You can change this to 10 cents or 20 cents per line if you wish. So, while the smallest bet is higher than you may have thought, the largest one could well be lower than you expect.
Check out the Megasaur paytable
All the features in the game are properly explained there. If you haven't taken this game for a spin before, make this your starting point.
Bonus features are not included
We do have more to share though, so let's press on.
Free spins erupt from the volcanoes
Well, not in the proper way, but you can pick up some free games when you find three or more volcano scatters in the same spin. You can then select them in turn to find out how many spins erupt from each of them. It's quite amusing to watch and you could see anything from two spins to 10 spins coming out of each one. The best outcome, therefore, would be to find five scattered volcanoes and to receive the maximum 10 spins from each.
You will also find a Feature Guarantee in this game. If you don't manage to trigger the spins by the time you reach the 250th spin of the reels, it will automatically take you to them at that stage. Additionally, you're guaranteed to get at least 2x the triggering wager as prize money while inside the spins. If this doesn't happen, the game triggers a random prize worth at least 5x your bet and potentially up to 250x your bet.
No RTP information for this one
Megasaur has many fine details, but it does not make clear the return to player value anywhere.
Megasaur is an impressive game to play
Yes, it has been around for a while, although not for as long as the dinosaurs have been gone… but it still ranks at the 8.5/10 level for us.
The progressive jackpot is by far the largest prize
That is no surprise, since it is a huge sum that goes into six or even seven figures.
Demo action lets you experience the game
If Megasaur hasn't crossed your path yet, you can check out the demo to see what you make of it. This is the best approach, especially if you are thinking about the size of the $1.25 minimum wager.
Make sure your budget fits that minimum wager before the real game begins
If you like this game and you do think that you might play it, your budget should be the first thing you think about. The demo should help you see how many spins you'll get from whatever affordable budget you'd play with.
Available on mobile tablets and smartphones
As a leading slot in this developer's collection, you can expect to find Megasaur in mobile casinos as well, available to play on iOS and Android.
