Final Thoughts
If you haven't played the firstDynamite Richesslot, then Dynamite Riches Megaways might seem more impressive. The reason why is that there hasn't been a revolution in the interim. Megaways is a lot more exciting than the first one's 20 fixed betways, there is a growing win multiplier in free spins, and Mega Wilds are now the full reel multipliers which appeared inKulta Jaska Megaways.
Actually, when you put it that way, it does seem like quite a lot has changed. The strange thing is when you're up to your neck in the mining themed gaming, less seems to separate the two games in practice. The initial task remains the same - unlock all four features to gain their benefits. This sort of system has popped up in a number of Red Tiger slots now and won't be for everyone. In some ways, it's kind of fun, unlocking them one by one; in others, the system locks you into playing. You feel like you have to commit to a session rather than dip in and out. As an indication of how much time you'll need to put in, it took around 150 spins or so to unlock features during testing.
What makes the upgrade feel so samey is the max win has remained unchanged. Not saying all remakes have to have greater potential, yet all of the extra multiplying going on seems a little pointless if it can't do anything the original couldn't already achieve. At 5,341x the stake, it's also quite low for Megaways in general and unlikely to get the hardcore gamers frothing.
With all said and done, Dynamite Riches Megaways did turn out to be a phenomenal game in the end. The changes shake up the gameplay although they would have benefited from more enticing potential to make better use of them. You don't see feature collections like this in Megaways often, so there's that for completists to experience. Otherwise, Dynamite Riches Megaways is a great follow up which nevertheless could've offered a bit more.
