Astro Newts Megaways Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Theme and Graphics

You can tell an online slot game is really well-designed when you think it’s a branded game but it actually isn’t. That’s definitely the case in 1x2 Gaming’s Astro Newts Megaways, as this slot is so well thought-out with all sorts of great design details that Astro Newts might as well have been a Warner Bros cartoon series.

This game looks absolutely fantastic, with brightly coloured reels and kooky characters – so fans of games like Reactoonz and Rick and Morty Megaways will love this slot . There’s even a quirky soundtrack that accompanies the gameplay which really gives player a sense of adventure and whimsy.

RTP and Variance

The RTP (return to player) of Astro Newts Megaways is 95.9%. It’s a little bit lower than we’d like to see from a newly released slot.

In terms of variance, this is a highly volatile slot. It has a top prize of 20,000x to match, too.

How to Win

Like all Megaways games, Astro Newts Megaways has a variable number of ways to win. Each reel can display a different number of symbols, so up to 235,298 winning ways can be activated.

There is a cascading reels feature, too. Winning symbols are sucked away into a black hole and replaced by new symbols after all wins.

Pig on the Moon

Randomly, you might trigger the Pig on the Moon feature. This adds three extra wilds of the reels or triggers an expanding wild.

Mega Fission

The Mega Fission feature is one that you’ll only encounter in 1x2 Gaming slots. If you land a win with a symbol that is 2 or 3 positions tall, it will split in two – ultimately increases your number of ways to win.

Fuel Meter and Free Spins

Fuel can appear on the reels during the base game and bonus rounds. When you collect fuel, it fills up the meter to the right of the reels. They only collect on a single spin though so, once a cascade sequence is over, the meter will reset.

If you manage to collect 6 fuels during a spin, then you’ll enter the free spins bonus. When you collect fuel during this round, you’ll head to different planets. Collecting four cannisters will send you off to a new location with a new bonus on offer:

• The Moon: x1 multiplier increase on each cascade
• Mars: x1 multiplier on each cascade with aliens awarding Super Fuel (each fuel canister is worth 2)
• Jupiter: x1 multiplier on cascade with reels that have 7 symbols being locked for the whole bonus
• Saturn: x2 multiplier increase on each cascade with 7-symbol high reels being locked.
• Uranus: x2 multiplier increase on each cascade with the reel locking feature and wins paid out both ways.

Max-win 20,000x

Overall Review

Astro Newts Megaways is one of the most inventive and exciting Megaways slots that we’ve seen in quite some time. It seems like 1x2 Gaming recognized that Megaways were becoming a little bit repetitive and decided to do something about it by bringing players something totally out there.

This slot isn’t just unusual in terms of theme; it’s also totally out-there when it comes to bonus features. There’s lots going on here between collecting fuel, Mega Fission and Pigs on the Moon so, even though Astro Newts Megaways is a highly volatile slot, there is plenty of action.

Incredible Free Spins Feature

The free spins bonus is incredibly exciting, as you can make your way across the universe by landing more fuel symbols. We love that each planet brings bigger and better bonuses, and that they actually make a difference.

Once you make it to Mars, the Super Fuel feature makes it highly likely that you’ll be heading to Jupiter where you’ll get to experience the locked feature. Even if you don’t, however, you can still look forward to great winning potential.
