Stargate Megaways

Stargate Megaways Review

Featuring a military sci-fi theme borrowed from the 1994 hit film, Stargate, Stargate Megaways is a branded slot from SG and their partners, Light & Wonder. Set inside an intergalactic teleportation device, the game uses the crew from the original production as the top paying symbols and the Megaways mechanic, allowing you to win in 117,649 different ways. Ra’s glowing eye can also be seen making an appearance during the free spins bonus round, but luckily, there are plenty of other helpful modifiers that not only the fandom can relate to. Are you ready to open the portal into a new mysterious planet? Read our slot review to find out more.

Stargate Megaways Bonus Features

As mentioned earlier, SG uses the cascading reels and the titled Megaways mechanic, both of which keep things ticking nicely in Stargate Megaways. When you land a win, the winning symbols explode, and new symbols fall into the gaps creating multiple winning combinations. In this edition, cascading reels will help you activate additional modifiers and also open up the portal into the free spins bonus round. Other highlights include random wilds, wild reels, expanding wilds, mystery symbols and the Buy Pass feature enabling direct access to the base game modifiers or the bonus round.

Wilds

A gold-plated talisman is the wild that can substitute for all except the Eye of Ra symbol. The latter appears in the free spring game while wilds land on the top scrolling reel above the grid.

Stargate Trail

The 9-step Stargate Trail with random modifiers is what can help you activate the free spins bonus round progressively. With each winning cascade, the trail will move up a segment, and when you land 5 consecutive wins, you’ll unleash one of the following 5 modifiers:

• Random wilds – add up to 6 wilds to reels 2-5.
• Expanded reels – increase win ways to the max.
• Wild reels – turn one reel (2-5) wild.
• Mystery symbols – a max of 10 random symbols turn into one symbol type.
• Regenerate – clears the board of all symbols and fills the gaps with new symbols.

Reaching the 7th, 8th, or 9th section of the trail will activate the bonus round with further modifiers.

Free Spins

Triggered with 7 or more consecutive wins, the bonus round kicks off with up to 7 free spins but not before you play the bonus picker game. You’ll have 15 doors, and 7 picks to win additional modifiers:

• Additional free spins – award an extra 1-25 free spins.
• Win multiplier – combined wins amplified by the respective multiplier.
• Ways increase – each subsequent win produces more ways to win than the last, up to 117,649.
• Reincarnate – if the Eye of Ra symbol lands, free spins reset.
• Cash prizes – award instant cash between 5x-100x your stake.
• Wild gates – add additional wilds to the top reel.
• Expanding wilds – when landed on reels 2-5, wilds expand to cover the entire reel.

Sadly, free spins can’t be retriggered, but they can be reset if the Eye of Ra symbol lands on reel 6.

Stargate Megaways Jackpot

This Megaways version of the slot doesn’t have a dedicated jackpot, but it can offer some fantastic payouts to lucky Stargaters – up to 25,000x your stake.

RTP and Volatility

Stargate is no walk in the park and comes preset with a high volatility which, in the long run, can help achieve bigger wins. The theoretical RTP is set to 96% by the developer, but it’s adjustable meaning it can be as low as 94% at some online casinos.

Where to Play Stargate Megaways

Most of the leading SG casinos will have Stargate Megaways included in their lobbies, but if you need a nudge, our experts recommended LeoVegas as their top choice.
