The Choice is Yours Megaways: Slot Review

Overall, The Choice is Yours Megaways was a decent, if unremarkable, game. A cheerful atmosphere, free spins volatility options, and a reasonable win cap are among its excellent features. Without any strong branding behind it, it feels a little generic, so let’s see if The Choice is Yours Megaways succeeds in making it past the pilot stage or, like its 70s game show namesake, remains unsold.

Prizes and Betting

A conventional Megaways game grid of 6 reels with 2-7 symbols each and a 4 symbol horizontal tracking reel takes centre stage. This highly unpredictable game can offer anywhere from 324 to 200,704 different chances to win on each spin. The average RTP is 96 percent, although it varies depending on whether you play for 10p to £/€50 each spin or purchase the bonus round, if it is available in your jurisdiction. However, statistics for the latter were not available at the time of study.

Regular wins occur when at least two of the most valuable symbol type or three of any other pay symbol land left to right from the first reel.

In true Megaways fashion, when a winning way lands, it is demolished and cleared from the grid. Symbols that are left on the reels fall down to replace them, and the tumble feature is triggered again if a fresh win forms. Mice, buzzers, two female characters, and a host are on the lower end of the paytable, yielding 0.4-0.5x the stake for six of a kind, followed by microphones, buzzers, two female characters, and a host. A six-of-a-kind victory consisting of the five higher-value symbols results in a payoff ranging from 1.5 to 20 times the stake. Finally, in the main or bonus game, wild symbols can appear on all but the first and last reels to substitute for any non-special symbol.

Slot Features

It’s all up to you. Mystery symbols, free spins with a volatility picker, and possibly a bonus buy are all features to look out for in Megaways.

Symbols of Mystery: Mystery symbols can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 in the regular game and convert into wilds or pay symbols. Mystery symbols only appear on the first spin of the game, not on tumbles.

Bonus Spins: When four scatter symbols appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, you will be taken to the bonus round. When this occurs, players can select one of three bonus round options based on their volatility preference: low, medium, or high. Free spins offer a win multiplier that increases by one after each winning tumble in all choices.

The mystery box can appear on all reels during free spins, with the exception of the top horizontal reel – on spins or tumbles. When mystery boxes appear, they reveal wilds, pay symbols, a +2 win multiplier, or an additional 2 free spins.

If the mystery box hits on a reel with 7 symbols, that reel may be locked at 7 high for the remainder of the feature. Consecutive tumbles are another option for extending the bonus round. To win an additional +2 free spins, you must tumble four times in a row.

Purchase Free Spins: If there is a star in the upper right corner of the screen, press it to access the bonus buy menu. For 8low, medium, or high volatility free spins, players can pay 85x their wager. Alternatively, you can wager 128x for 12 low volatile free spins, 164x for 12 medium volatile free spins, or 168x for 12 high volatile free spins.

Theme and Design

Though it’s not officially stated, we’re wondering if Iron Dog drew inspiration for their game from an unaired 1970s game show pilot presented by Bill Cullen called ‘The Choice is Yours.’ Of course, it’s possible that it’s just a coincidence. However, the show’s and game’s fonts are similar, and the slot has a vaguely 1970s air to it, which is mostly emphasised through a funk disco track. Whatever the case may be, The Choice is Yours Megaways has a game show feel to it, similar to one of those talent shows where competitors perform in front of judges who use a buzzer to advance or disallow the acts they like or detest.

Conclusion

Overall, The Choice is Yours Megaways was a decent, if unremarkable, game. A cheerful atmosphere, free spins volatility options, and a reasonable win cap are among its excellent features. Without any strong branding behind it, it feels a little generic, so let’s see if The Choice is Yours Megaways succeeds in making it past the pilot stage or, like its 70s game show namesake, remains unsold.
