Branded Megaways - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Branded Megaways from irondog slots isn’t so much a game as a concept for a game. The generic audio-visuals and name say it all - this slot is designed to be branded for specific casino operators, like the LeoVegas Megaways demo slot you can play at Slots Temple.

As a result there’s everything but the kitchen sink here including standard and multiplier wilds and free spins.

If you’re impatient there’s even a buy free spins feature.

If you’re already a fan of Megaways slots you’ll know how the engine works but for new players, this mechanic changes up the number of symbols on the reels on every spin creating up to 117, 649 ways to win.

Match 3 or more symbols on consecutive reels and they’ll disappear from the screen, allowing more symbols to fall in their place. Successive tumble wins unlock free spins with locked reels and increasing multipliers.

If you’ve never played this type of game before it makes sense to play a few demo mode spins to get to grips with the gameplay and the Multiways mechanic. This is a browser based slot so you can play across all platforms in landscape and portrait mode.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The title of this game is VIP Branded Megaways and Irondog have laid on the luxe with a quilted black leather look background and plenty of buffed bronze and burnished gold. We’re not sure it’s classy but this casino inspired slot is clearly no dive.

The symbols rely heavily on a stack of royals meaning that the screens are sometimes packed with them. No big deal if the design is inspired but here it’s completely generic as is the lounge-style casino soundtrack .

At least the gold and silver bullion, square cut emerald, heart shaped ruby and multicarat diamond all add some well drawn bling.

RTP & Volatility

This slot features very high volatility and a higher than average RTP of 96.2%. It’s tailor made for the risk takers but is highly playable from just 0.20 coins a spin.

How to play Branded Megaways

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Branded Megaways has a wager to suit most players between 0.20 and 20.00 coins a spin.

The biggest win in this slot is capped at 800,000 coins as compared to 250,000 in most Megaways slots but the ultra high volatility means those payouts are rare as perfect diamonds.

- Diamond pays 500x
- Ruby pays 150x
- Emerald pays 100x
- Gold bullion pays 40x

Bonus Features

We promised you a closer look at all the features in this unusual slot and by and large they don’t disappoint. Here’s what we found:

Wild Symbols

Standard and 2x multiplying wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. They substitute for all other symbols and multiple 2x wilds will multiply by each other for even bigger wins.

Tumble Wins

Whenever a win pays out, the winning symbols are removed from the screen allowing others to fall into their place and create the possibility for new wins. The feature continues until no new wins are available.

Free Spins

You’ll need to fill up the Star Meter at the right of the reels to trigger the free spins round. Each star lights up when you score a tumble win and you’ll need 4 wins in succession to trigger 8 free games.

Each successive tumble adds another 2 free spins up to a maximum 14.

Every spin increases the multiplier by 1x. Reels with 7 symbols will lock in place and award an extra multiplier.

Free spins can be retriggered by landing 4 or more tumble wins during the free spins.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

There are definitely more attractive Megaways slots out there, but there’s no denying the potential in this somewhat generic version. With wins up to 40,000x and multiple free spins when they trigger the gameplay, this is rock solid.

However, having free spins triggered by tumble wins will tell you all you need to know about how tough those big prizes are to land in this smoking hot slot.
