Introduction

You may not have come across many Iron Dog Studio slots in the past, because the company has been building its portolio fairly slowly. It can afford to do this because it is not an independent developer but a part of the 1x2 network. Iron Dog is based in Hove on the English south coast and has a mission to combine state of the art technology with classic concepts. Expect to see an increasing number of free slots in the near future.

Super Rainbow Megaways is another addition to the substantial ranks of games dealing with Irish folklore and leprechauns in particular which you’ll probably be familiar with from older games like the Rainbow Riches slot. It has 6 reels and its rows can vary between 2 and 7 as part of the megaways mechanics. There are a potential 200,704 win ways. The minimum bet size is 0.20 and the maximum is 25.00. There are 10 regular symbols: a leprechaun, his hat, his pipe, a lucky shamrock and the 6 highest playing cards. The wild is cloudy sky and the scatter is a pot of gold.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

The trouble with this kind of game is that you really can’t get way from pretty poor stereotypes, since that's what it’s all based on. The bearded leprechaun drinking ale, the jaunty fiddle music and the green hills are inevitable but tiresome, and to be honest they’re not done with much imagination. Furthermore, despite the name, there’s almost no sign of a rainbow unless you trigger the Super Rainbow Feature.

Super Rainbow Megaways RTP and Variance

The game’s RTP is 96.13%, which just about average for slot games. The variance or volatility is high.

How to play Super Rainbow Megaways

1. In addition to the 6 vertical reels there are 4 symbols on a horizontal reel at the bottom of the grid under reels 2-5. These add to the win ways.
2. You play at a fixed level of 20 coins per spin and the total bet value is shown on the bet control.
3. Wins are calculated by counting the number of consecutive reels, starting from the farthest left.
4. There is a tumble feature which operates to remove symbols after a win way pays out and allow new symbols to tumble down and replace them. All removed symbols are replaced with random symbols. If the new symbols also form a win way they will also pay out and more symbols will tumble in to replace them. This continues until no new win ways are formed.
5. Wilds can appear on reels 2-5 in the base game and free spins round but do not appear on the horizontal reel. Wilds substitute for all symbols except scatters.
6. Scatters appear on all vertical reels in the base game and on the horizontal reel only during free spins. Four, 5 and 6 scatters will give you 12, 14 and 16 free spins respectively. If you land any more each one will add 2 free spins. If a scatter appears in a free spins round it will award 1 extra free spin.
7. Free spins have an incremental multiplier throughout the free spins round. It will increase by 1 with each tumble during a free spins round.
8. The locked reel appears only in free spins. Reels will lock at 7 symbols for the rest of the round. When a reel locks it awards 1 extra free spin. Any of the reels can transform into a locked reel and more than one can appear at any one time.
9. You can buy free spins at any time by clicking on the ‘buy bonus’ button.
10. Click on the 3 coins symbol to open the bet options. Use the outer plus and minus to go to the maximum or minimum bet or use the inner ones to move through the options. 
11. Click the small play button to open the auto play menu and select a number of automatic spins. You can also set auto mode to quit if you exceed various customisable limits.
12. Click on the play button or use the space bar to spin the reels. 
13. We support responsible gaming. If you choose to bet money please be aware you could lose it. Do not exceed the limits of what you can afford. If necessary, make use of your account’s time-out and self-exclusion features. When the game stops being fun please stop playing.

Super Rainbow Megaways review: Our Verdict

Does the world really need another leprechaun-centred game? If it had some exciting new features to add we’d welcome it, but the truth is it doesn’t. This simply adds to the pile of merely adequate games. The best things about it are the megaways mechanics and the high maximum payout. Otherwise forgettable.
