The Rodfather Megaways Bonus Features
Cascading Wins
The cascading effect may be set in motion by one or more successful wins. Winning symbols will be taken off the reels, and the remaining symbols will shift down to the position on the reels that is lowest possible. A new cascade will begin, and it will begin to fill up the vacant spaces on the reels, which may lead to extra prizes. Winning symbols on the horizontal row at the top will also be removed. However, the remaining symbols will move to the position on the row that is the furthest to the left possible, and new symbols will come in from the right to fill up empty row positions, which can also create additional winning combinations. When there is no longer any chance to win, the feature will come to an end.
Fishin’ Time
In the main game, you need to have the Collect symbol in order to earn the values that are shown on the screen whenever value symbols appear on the reels. Only reels 1 and 6 are appropriate landing spots for the value symbols. There is a chance that the Collect symbol will appear on reel 6, as well as on the top horizontal row. After all of the cascades have been finished and the player has been paid, each Collect symbol will gather up all of the value symbols and give them to the player.
Possible values for value symbols are: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 50x the bet amount
Free Spins
If you are able to gather 4 Scatter symbols, you will be awarded 10 free spins as a prize. During the Free Spins bonus round, 4 Scatter symbols will provide an extra 5 Free Spins. An Unlimited Win Multiplier is enabled at the beginning of the Free Spins bonus round, and it begins at 1. Each time a winning cascade occurs during that round, the multiplier is increased by one and is then contributed to the win that was obtained in that particular cascade. In the event that no winning combination appears, the multiplier does not return to its initial value of 1.
Mystery Symbols
When any of the reels are spun, there is a chance that any number of the Mystery Symbols will appear. After then, each of the Mystery Symbols will morph into a regular version of the same symbol (Major or Minor only). Only during the game's Free Spins feature may the Mystery Symbols appear.
Max Megaways
Any spin has the potential to activate the Max Megaways feature, which will cause the game to offer a total of 200.704 ways on the subsequent spin.
Our Experience PlayingThe Rodfather Megaways
When we first began playing the game, we were greeted with a standard Megaways layout consisting of a variety of sea creatures and royal symbols.The music that was playing was reminiscent of the music that is often played on tropical islands. As we had said before, there were a number of slot machines with a fishing motif in their idea, and we believed that it would be difficult to compete with the finest of those games. TIn order to determine whether or not it was true, we resorted to our standard practice, which consisted of making a deposit of 200 Euros, adjusting the bet to 1 Euro, and giving it around 300 spins. During the first hundred spins, we had no significant payouts, with the biggest of them being just around 15x the bet. As a result of that, we lost 37 Euros. The next one hundred spins were a little bit better thanks to the Fishin’ Time feature that paid us 15x and 20x the bet accordingly. However, we were still losing around 45 Euros. Because of the way the regular game was paying us, we had begun to lose faith by the time we had reached almost the end of our last 100 spins. That was, until we activated the Free Spins feature, which gave us 112 times the amount we had wagered thanks to the Mystery Symbols feature. After 300 spins, we were able to not only go back to even but also win 9 Euros, which was a satisfying result taking into account how things had been going up until that point.
The Rodfather Megaways™ Verdict
As we had said before, it would be very difficult to compete in this genre of slots. And taking into consideration how little it pays during the main game, and how difficult it is to trigger the bonus round, this slot, in our opinion, will not come on top. There are just better slots out there, in terms of features and in terms of payouts. Big Bass Bonanza Megaways is a fine example of that. Taking into account the volatility of this slot, it is not for the faint-hearted. Simply said, it takes much too long to see any meaningful rewards, and for the vast majority of gamblers, seeing little sums of money here and there will be too boring. If you like slots with the fishing theme, stick to the Big Bass series. If you are looking to make some money, this is probably not your best choice. Play it at your own risk.
