Merry Megaways

Merry Megaways was one of those slots where what you see is what you get. There are no hidden surprises, just a very in-theme Christmas game with a few handy features to go with it. It's a bit like opening a cracker after dinner, where your expectations about the toy and the joke contained within are largely met. Merry Megaways by no means does anything wrong; it's just one of those safe slots that looks Christmassy and has a few complimentary features to go with it. The game could occasionally be quite entertaining. Every so often, it rolled out a fairly lengthy sequence of consecutive Tumble wins, accompanied by those violent (for an Xmas slot) explosion noises, and kept alive at times by Santa throwing his magic pixie dust onto the reels via the Christmas Cracker, clearing symbols, thereby triggering another tumble. The Christmas Cracker was actually quite useful, its sticky wild role possessing the ability to help draw out a game round. Merry Megaways didn't end up going anywhere particularly amazing during testing, but with a progressive win multiplier and a max win of20,000x the bet, on paper at least, Merry Megaways has the technical goods to make some lucky player's day. And so, 1x2 Gaming adds another Christmas slot to the list, and not a bad one at that. There's not much particularly unique here, but what it does - combine features and functions to create relatively longish tumble sequences - it does quite heartily. Mix in the wholesome Xmas artwork, and Merry Megaways is another one of these reliable, if not revolutionary, slots to help get players in the Christmas spirit.
