Final Thoughts
Risqué Megaways isn't tremendously risqué. There's the leggy Wild Super Symbols, but players signing on for some smutty reel action might be unfulfilled. While Risqué might not have been the word we'd have used, the game is glitzy, in an Off-Broadway theatre type way, so there is plenty of glam going on. Red Tiger tends to fill their games with glossy imagery anyway, so they were probably right in their element when designing Risqué Megaways.
The headline here is arguably the wild multiplier, a feature that has turned up in quite a few Red Tiger slots by now, most notably in games such asPiggy Riches Megaways,What the Fox Megaways,Hustling, andDoggy Riches Megawaysto new a few. Still, there are some twists added here that's not been utilized before - the addition of a second bonus reel, for example. Though it isn't a revolutionary move, it does drastically increase the possible ways to win and increases engagement. It looks quite good, too, adding a symmetricity that isn't there with just one bonus reel.
As for the fan symbols and their resulting full reel symbols, it can cut both ways. Fine and dandy when a win is produced, but they can be a real pain at other times. When you're stuck with one on reel three in the bonus game, as happened during testing, and nothing's linking on the first two reels, they're just sitting there, eating up spins. Might it have been better to remove their pay symbol altering abilities and make them full reel wilds only? Admittedly, doing so would rob them of their unique character, and they do occasionally create happy moments, assisting with potential that can reach up to5,250 times the stake.
In the end, let's be grateful Red Tiger took the high road, designing Risqué Megaways in a tasteful rather than lewd manner. Risqué Megaways might not be a plush stage show with bodies lithely draped across props, but then again, it isn't Barney the dinosaur tap dancing in a top hat either. Red Tiger has found a happy middle ground that should please certain Megaways enthusiasts looking to experience one or technical twists in a swanky environment.
