About Scrooge Megaways
Incorporating the Megaways mechanic, the slot comes with 6 reels and up to 117,649 winning ways. It’s available on desktop and mobile devices from 20p up to £20 per spin. Volatility sits in the low to medium range and RTP an average of 95.98%. The winning potential is decent at 12,000x the total bet.
A Christmas Carol is all about the miserly man Ebenezer Scrooge who is not at all Christmas spirited. Three ghosts allow him to see the past present and future to change his ways. iSoftBet has created a superb addition in terms of graphics and gameplay. A London Street flanked with snow-covered Victorian houses set the scene. The reels sit in the middle of the game area, these are occupied with low-value royals, a ball and chain, roast turkey, and a top hat. Scrooge is the most lucrative awarding 25x for 6 in a winning combination.
Gameplay
The slot comes with cascading reels where symbols in a winning combination fall away and are replaced by new symbols. This continues until no more wins occur.
Landing 5 or more scatters anywhere on the reels triggers the respins feature. The triggering scatters lock in position as you play 3 respins. Each additional scatter locks in place and the respins reset back to 3. The scatters all have a multiplier attached. Once all respins are taken the values of the scatters present are awarded.
Past, Present, and Future symbols are present during the respins, if one lands during a respin it delivers an associated prize.
If you fill a reel full of scatters a multiplier becomes active. The multiplier is equal to the number of scatters present on the reel.
The last feature, Haunting of Christmas triggers randomly and awards one of two bonuses:
Max Megaways – a spin is awarded across all 117,649 paylines, or
Bonus Award – Extra scatters are added to the reels to boost your winnings.
Verdict
Whether you love Christmas slots or not there’s no denying iSoftBet has done a cracking job with Scrooge Megaways, the design is superb and the gameplay solid enough to create decent wins.
