Money Stacks Megaways Slot Review

Our next game is Money Stacks Megaways slot from Pragmatic Play, and the title immediately made me think of Breaking Bad: fat stacks, yo! 💵💵 I love that series and I was actually re-watching it not so long ago.

So how’s this for a bit of trivia: Bogdan – the dude with the unibrow – actually has a PhD in Chemistry! 🧪⚗️ He works in the field and his role as the car wash dude was his first foray into acting.

It just goes to show that appearances aren’t everything. Let’s see what Pragmatic’s latest has to offer. They haven’t gone crazy with the look and theme of the game, so I’m hoping that means we have a sleeper here. 🤞

Gameplay

If you’re into techno – or whatever the soundtrack to this game is – then boy howdy, have you come to the right place. You’ll be jamming up a storm as this 6-reel beast of a slot does its thing.

To the left are some Jackpots: the Minor pays 25x, the Major pays 100x, and the Grand Jackpot pays 1,000x your bet. More on this later.

The most prominent thing about the game is that it has a Megaways mechanic – as you can probably tell from the extra, horizontal reel and the different symbol sizes. In this instance, it means there are up to 117,649 winning ways.

The rest of the stats are as follows: the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

The Scatter symbol is the number 7. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 of them pays 2x, 5x, 10x, or 20x your bet, respectively. The Wild “W” replaces all symbols that aren’t Scatters, Collect, or Super Collect symbols.

This action could result in additional wins, in which case the action continues. feature – otherwise known as a Tumble feature. Scatters, Money, Collect, and Super Collect symbols don’t explode/get removed, though and will stay on screen until a CascadeOtherwise known as a Tumble, Avalanche, or whatever a studio sees fit to name it.

Features

MONEY COLLECT:

The blue Money symbol lands on reels 2 to 5. It takes a random multiplier value when it hits, and this could be 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 12x, 15x, or 20x. Money symbols could also represent the Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots.

COLLECT AND SUPER COLLECT:

If one of these symbols hits at the same time as a Money symbol, they’ll award the values of all visible Money symbols.

The Super Collect will first add a random number of Money symbols to random grid positions where Money symbols already exist before the moolah is paid over to you.

Land 2 Collect or Super Collect symbols at the same time as a Money symbol and a random multiplier will be awarded along with the value of the Money symbol. The multiplier could be 2x to 10x.

FREE SPINS AND MONEY SPINS:

This feature triggers when you land 3 to 6 Scatters but there is another way. If, during the base game, Money symbols hit without a Collect symbol, this can cause the Free Spins round to initiate randomly.

Before the round kicks off, you’ll need to decide if you want the spins or if you’d prefer Money Spins, which is a Hold and WinThis feature plays out on a new screen. Typically, you get 3 re-spins (which could be re-triggered), and the triggering symbols usually stick to the position on which they land. Your objective is to land as many symbols as possible on the grid (you could land blank tiles, too). round where a Collect symbol is guaranteed to land on each spin.

If you go the Free Spins route:

As for how many spins you’ll get, 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters award 7, 10, 12, or 15 spins, respectively. You can re-trigger Free Spins too, so an additional 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters awards 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 more spins.

Also before you go any further, you’ll be asked to pick fuses – you know, the type you have in your car. You keep picking until you uncover one that says “That’s the End,” but on your way, you can be awarded multipliers and additional spins.

Free Spins start with a 1x multiplier and every CascadeOtherwise known as a Tumble, Avalanche, or whatever a studio sees fit to name it. The idea is the same, though; winning symbols get removed, and new ones take their place. This action could result in additional wins, in which case the action continues. increases this by 1x, with wins bolstered by the current multiplier.

Wild symbols can carry random multiplier values of 2x, 3x, or 5x, and these multipliers will be applied to any wins the Wild forms a part of. If more than one Wild is part of a winning combo, their multipliers will multiply each other.

Oh, and you’ll notice that the Money Collect feature isn’t available during Free Spins. 😭

If you go the Money Spins route:

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters awards 2, 3, 5, or 7 spins, respectively, but there’s no re-triggering here. You’ll pick fuses this time, too, and you can score more spins, multipliers, Collect symbols, Super Collect symbols, or increase the Megaways.

Only Money, Collect, and Super Collect symbols will land (or it could be blank tiles). Wins will be boosted by the global multiplier.

Pay 120x for 3 Scatters

Conclusion

Money Stacks Megaways slot has a lot of potential for making the sweet, sweet moolah. You’ll need to trigger Free Spins or elect to play the Money Spins game.

I love that there’s a choice. And when the multipliers and spins and Collect – but more so the Super Collect symbols – are on song, man, that’s when the magic starts to happen.

The great thing is there’s a Buy Bonus entry point as well as an Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. if you don’t want to go the slow route, and I’m way to impatient to sit around waiting for things to happen.

Pragmatic released a non-Megaways version of the game previously, but the new variant is my favorite.
