Scrooge Megaways

Remember the grumpy old man from Dickens’ Novel, Ebenezer Scrooge? He’s back at it again with his rainy mood in the iSoftBet’s bag of games, featuring the Scrooge Megaways online slot.

Considering the Christmas theme, the time of miracles, perhaps the mean oldie is here to provide punters with not misery but fortune and good luck. There are a couple of exciting features included in the title and without further ado, let’s find out what Scrooge is up to.

Theme and Symbols

As the provider mentioned, the setting takes place in a gloomy London Street but in a more Christmas-fashioned atmosphere with the sound of Jingle Bells and lots and lots of snow. The graphics take on a more of a cartoon-like appearance while the reels and the pay table are highly defined.

There are also Scatter and Wild Symbols that we’ll talk about more in the following department of this review.

Betting Options and Features

Stating the obvious, the title is considered as a megaways slot (learn more here) and as such, each spin on the 6 reel-ed layout produces a certain number of megaways, up to a maximum of 117,649 ways to win.

The betting range goes from 0,20 to 20,00 credits per spin while the title’s best odds sit at 95,98% by default and can be increased via the Buy Bonus to a 97% version.

First things first, the Cascading Reels mechanic allows winning icons to disappear from the reels and get replaced with new symbols. This continues to happen for as long as punters keep landing winning hands.

The Wild Symbol appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 as a substitution for any other regular bar the Scatter. Getting 5 or more Scatters in view triggers the Scrooge Cash Respins feature and begins with 3 respins.

For each new Scatter appearing the counter resets back to 3 and should players manage to fill the entire row, the multiplier is awarded and applied to all Scatters on the corresponding reel.

There are also Past, Present and Future Scatters to keep an eye out for as landing them awards 10x, 25x and 50x the stake respectively.

Then, there’s the Haunting of Christmas feature that occurs at random and awards either Max Megaways modifier that guarantees 117,649 ways to win or Bonus Award which adds additional Scatter and helps trigger the aforesaid Respins feature.

Wrapping Up

All in all, iSoftBet casino software did a decent job with this online one-armed bandit. The only issue we have is that there’s nothing quite unique or original about the features as they have all been seen before.
