Beware The Deep Megaways™ Bonus Features
This slot proposes as many as three special symbols and two Bonus Games. And now, we will review all of them in order one by one.
Tumble Feature
This function allows you to get several wins per spin due to the disappearance of each symbol of any winning combination, which sets free space for pics positioned above or new ones dropping down from the top of the game grid. The number of possible tumbles isn't limited, and due to that, they continue to happen as long as prize sequences still form on the play grid. That provides the opportunity for getting maximally big prizes. The Tumble feature is in the Base and Bonus Game.
Wild
This special symbol (The Shark) replaces any symbol except the Bonus one. The Wild falls exclusively within the 2 — 5 reels of the reduced bottom row. Each Wild has a random Win Multiplier. In the Base Game, that could be one of these values — x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x10, x25. In the Bonus Game, there are also possible x50 and x100 multipliers.
The Win Multiplier applies to cash prizes of those winning sequences the Wild partakes in. If there is more than one Wild in the prize combination, their Multipliers are summarized first before application.
Mystery Symbol
Symbols of this type appear on the game grid several pieces at a time. After landing, each of those reveals the same paying picture.
Bonus Symbol
It needs to get at least 4 Bonus Symbols at once to start the Bonus Game Round. But the more Bonus Symbols, the bigger the number of Free Spins due:
Number of Bonus Symbols |
Number of Free Spins |
4 |
10 |
5 |
12 |
6 |
14 |
7 |
16 |
Before playing in this Bonus Game, there is a chance proposed to increase the number of Free Spins to a maximum of 16. Hence, if you already got 16 Free Spins from the beginning, the Gamble feature doesn't start.
The Gamble Feature
Let us imagine you initially have got 10 FS. When the Gamble feature starts, there is a ship's steering wheel with seven equal segments on the screen. Four of those are green, whereas all the others are red. If the stopper points on the green sector after the wheel's spin, the bigger number of Free Spins is due (12, 14, or 16). Otherwise, the number currently available to the player Free Spins decreases (8, 6). There are no limits to attempts, yet when a player gets the highest or lowest number of Free Spins (16 or 6), the Bonus FS Game starts immediately. So, fortunately, there is no possibility of losing a chance to play Free Spins, even if you get unlucky several times in order.
Since there are as many as two Bonus Games in this slot, choose the type of preferred Bonus Round before Free Spins start.
Deep Free Spins
Besides the Gamble feature, there is still the opportunity to get extra FS during the Bonus Game itself:

Number of extra Free Spins |
2 |

The main distinction of the Deep Free Spins compared to the Base mode is the infinitely growing Global Multiplier that becomes +1 more due to each new tumble. Moreover, every Wild that hits the grid adds a multiplier value of itself to the Global Win Multiplier. On top of that, when the Bonus Symbol sits accurately above the Wild, the last one becomes locked in place for a random number of subsequent tumbles (1, 2, or 3 ), each time getting the new random Multiplier. The Bonus Game ends when all the Free Spins are finally consumed.
Even Deeper Free Spins
Unlike the previous Bonus Game mode, this one finishes when a particular value of the Global Win Multiplier is reached. So, the number of Free Spins is limitless. The Gamble feature preliminaries the playing process as in the Deep Free Spins. But this time, you get the chance to grab the bigger Multiplier. The number of attempts does not have a limit, either. But the feature starts the Bonus Game when the highest (x30) or lowest (x10) guaranteed Win Multiplier is awarded.
Fortunately, 7 Bonus Symbols landed simultaneously in the Base Game eliminate any need for partaking in the Gamble mode in chasing for a bigger Multiplier:
Number of Bonus Symbols |
Guaranteed Win Multiplier |
4 |
x15 |
5 |
x20 |
6 |
x25 |
7 |
x30 |
Just as in the Deep Free Spins, during Even Deeper Free Spins, the Global Win Multiplier also becomes +1 more due to each subsequent tumbling and gets a multiplier value from every Wild that appears on the grid. Also, when the Bonus Symbol sits accurately above the Wild, the last one becomes locked in place for a random number of subsequent tumbles (1, 2, or 3 ), each time getting the new random Multiplier. Each new Bonus Symbol increases the guaranteed Win Multiplier +1. This Bonus game ends when the Global Win Multiplier equals the guaranteed one.
Ante Bet
Also, you can increase your odds of triggering Free Spins. Enabling this function will charge 25% on top of the current stake amount during each spin with the 'Ante Bet' function activated.
Buy Free Spins
There are two ‘Buy Bonus’ options eligible for you:
- x100 — grants 4 or 5 Bonus Symbols
- x250 — guarantees getting 6 or 7 Bonus Symbols
Also, this function allows you to pick the Bonus FS Game type you want to choose — the ‘Deep’ or ‘Even Deeper’ one.
Our Experience Playing Beware The Deep Megaways™
Also, we gave it a try to play this slot using €1 stake per spin and a total balance of €200. This experiment took us 300 spins.
During the 1st hundred spins, we could enjoy only Base Game wins. There were 21 prizes, which amounted from €0.4 to €5.85. Seven of them turned less than the stake. Mystery Symbols appeared in the playfield just once. As a result, after the 100th spin, we had only €146.65 on the balance.
During the second hundred spins, we also didn’t have pleasant trigger Free Spins. This time, the number of regular prizes was 30. They varied from €0.2 to €10.35. And only 11 wins appeared lower than the stake. Mystery Symbols didn’t appear. Thus, after the 200th spin, our balance shrank to just €102.6.
Fortunately, due to the 3rd hundred spins, we have triggered as many as two bonus games that earned precisely €138.45. Also, there were 24 Base Game prizes from €0.1 to €16. After the 300 spins ended, the final balance was €203.45. Hence, we have earned €3.45.

Thus, the Tumble feature allows you to reap bigger wins within the Base and Bonus Game, especially during the Free Spin Round, where the Global Multiplier increases with every single tumble. But, sadly, the Mysterious Symbols rarely appeared on the playfield and almost didn't influence our income.
The ‘Deep’ Bonus Game here has two key pros. The first one is the possibility of increasing the number of Free Spins, which considerably increases the thrill of the playing process. Moreover, there is no way to lose the Bonus Round. In the worst-case scenario, you will decrease the Free Spins number to just 6. The same goes for the ‘Even Deeper’ mode, which allows maximizing the Guaranteed Global Multiplier. Yet, in case of bad luck, you will not lose the chance to play this Bonus Game since you will still get the minimally possible Win Multiplier. The second pro is the progressively growing Global multiplier, which can bring you a lot of considerable cash prizes, especially in duo with the Tumble feature.
Beware The Deep Megaways™ Verdict
In conclusion, we will note an impressive duo of two sufficiently creative Bonus Games that deliver engaging gameplay and exciting wins thanks to the continuously growing Global Multiplier. On top of that, during Free Spins, there is a possibility to temporarily lock in place the Wild, which allows you to increase the Global Multiplier value even more. Unfortunately, we have triggered only 2 Bonus Games through the whole 300-spin gaming session, which is hardly a perfect result. Yet, maybe you will be much more lucky.
The Base Game mode seems a bit uneventful and straightforward because of Wilds, limited to just one row, and rare Mystery Symbols appearance. Also, beware that the RTP value of this gamble ranges from 97.47% to 94.48%. But even still, the game is worth trying due to its excellent Bonus Games. Unique Free Spins of this title may bring a lot of prizes and excitement for those lucky ones. So, if you like masterfully designed gambles, proposing the mind-blowing Bonus Game mode with the possibility of big wins, this is one of the best currently available choices.
