Introduction

Based in the UK’s offshore territory of the Isle of Man, Slywind are building their portfolio and their reputation quickly which is making them a feature of the best slot casinos. In Alive Megaways (with or without the exclamation mark) they have revisited the story of Frankenstein and the creation of life, following in the successful footsteps of NetEnt's Frankenstein slot.

As there are 20 fixed lines, the minimum bet level is 0.20 and the maximum is 200. There are 10 regular symbols: the Monster, Frankenstein, Elizabeth, Igor, a Flask, Nut and Bolt, then the four playing card suits. The Wild is a brain in a jar and the Scatter is the electrical coil.
 

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

This is a visually satisfying game, with an atmospheric castle backdrop, crackling electrically charged globes, rising smoke and steam, washes of green or purple light and some lively animation - not least the brain that wobbles gently in its jar and the spiders which plunge down on their webs. The music a fairly ordinary spooky castle/haunted house theme but the spoken messages like ‘walk this way’ and the maniacal laughter are suitably eerie.

Alive Megaways RTP and variance

Alive Megaways review: our verdict

There’s quite a lot going on here with a complex grid and lots of minor extras. There’s no real bonus game, which is a shame, but there’s a gamble feature which is always fun and the RTP is pretty respectable. A good effort.
