ABOUT THE ALIVE! MEGAWAYS SLOT 

Alive Megaways is SkyWind’s take on a classic horror story that never gets old. Step into the spooky laboratory of mad scientist, Dr Victor Frankenstein, as he attempts to bring a man back to life from body parts. Frankestein’s monster theme has been vigorously explored in movies, animations and even casino games. Skywind didn’t disappoint with this interpretation as the Alive Megaways slot is visually excellent.

The game is set in the mad scientist’s lab with the slot grid set against a stone wall background. There are lab accoutrements all around and the grid comes alive occasionally with cackling electricity, rising smoke and flashes of green and purple light adding some lively animation to the scene. The game action is accompanied by a spooky background sound along with an occasional maniacal laughter that adds to the eerie feel of the haunted lab. All the game graphics are quite detailed and the retro visual style seems to suit the theme excellently. 

GAMEPLAY 

WAGER

The Alive Megaways game is played on a six-reel, seven-row grid with a Megaways configuration. Each reel can hold between two to seven symbols and there’s also a horizontally spinning reel that holds four symbols. The implication of this Megaways configuration is that you get more ways to win. For the Alive Megaways slot, there are 200,704 winning ways. Winning combinations are formed from any position from left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The minimum wager amount for each spin on this slot is €0.20.

SYMBOLS

Alive Megaways has 10 regular symbols, grouped into high-value and low-value symbols. The four club suits, nuts' n bolts, and pink potion bottles are the slot’s low-paying symbols. You’ll need to land at least three of these symbols to form a winning combination and they pay between one to ten times your stake depending on the symbol and the numbers you match. 

The high-value symbols are themed characters. They include Igor, the scientist's assistant, a redhead dame, Dr. Frankenstein and the monster. You only need two or three of these symbols (two for the scientist and the monster) to complete a winning combination. The premium symbols pay between 10x to 200x your wager depending on how many of them you match.  

In addition to the regular symbols, there’s a Descartes-style brain floating in a jar which acts as the game’s Wild symbol. It substitutes for any of the paying symbols to form winning combinations. The crackling electrical meter is the Scatter symbol. Landing three of this symbol unlocks free spins. 

SPECIAL FEATURES 

Alive Megaways comes with a decent selection of bonuses and special features that help unlock bigger wins. You have the option to activate the double chance feature on every spin, increasing your bet size by five coins per spin while also increasing your chances of triggering the free spins. 

The slot also comes with an extra chance feature which is triggered each time you get a winning combination. This second chance feature is a type of cascade or tumble feature where the winning symbols are removed from the grid and new ones drop in to replace them, giving you a second chance to create new combinations.  

There is a play-it-your-way gamble feature, which is triggered when you get winning combinations during the free spins round. This play-it-your-way gamble feature allows you to gamble your entire winnings or keep part of it using the “bank it” feature. Finally, there’s a bonus buy feature. This allows you to simply buy free spins instead of waiting to win it randomly in the game. You can buy 10 free spins for 100x your stake.

ALIVE! MEGAWAYS FREE SPINS FEATURES

The free spins feature in the Alive Megaways slot is known as the unlimited multiplier free Games. To trigger this feature, you need to land at least three Scatter symbols on the reels. This grants you eight free games. You’ll also get four additional free spins for every new Scatter symbol in view. A win multiplier applies to all your wins in this bonus free games round. You can also get more spins when two, three, or four additional Scatter symbols appear on the upper reel. These give you two, four, or eight more spins respectively. 

In addition to winning free games through the Alive Megaways unlimited multiplier free games feature, you can also get free spins through casino bonuses. Some casinos, such as EnergyCasino give new players no deposit-free spins as part of the welcome package. You can also earn free spins through EnergySpins rewards and other casino bonuses.
