Runner Runner Megaways is a Megaways slot designed by Stakelogic with the conventional features of a fruit machine game. Its structure is a standard 6x4 grid; however, the Megaways element means that the number of paylines ranges from 64 to 117,649.
There are ten symbols: the star, lucky seven, watermelon, bunch of grapes, strawberry, bell, pear, plum, orange and cherries. There are no playing card symbols and all wins pay from left to right.
Stakelogic has gone for a hyper-realistic approximation of a real-world slot machine, with the reels accurately mimicking those you would find in a brick-and-mortar casino. It has tried to inject some atmosphere by selecting a background of a realistic casino but has chosen to blur it, which is slightly disappointing as it immediately makes you want to see what is going on behind the machine.
There is no soundtrack to speak of, just a background rumble. There are perfectly acceptable sound effects to accompany the movements and outcomes on the grid.
Runner Runner Megaways has an RTP of 96%, which is bang-on the average, and the variance is high. The bet range is from £0.10 to £40. The maximum payout is 10,000x.
Three or more scatter symbols activate the hold feature, during which the reels containing the scatter symbols remain stationary while the other reels respin until no additional scatter symbols appear.
Four or more scatter symbols award free spins. Eight free spins are awarded plus five extra free spins for each additional scatter symbol. Retriggers are possible in these circumstances:
If three scatter symbols land, five extra free spins are awarded plus five extra free spins for each additional scatter symbol.
During the free spins, two or more scatter symbols activate the hold feature.
A win multiplier will also be active during free spins. It starts at 1x, with each cascade increasing the multiplier by one.
Double your bet to activate the super stake mode for extra chances of winning. In super stake mode, wild symbols are added to the base reels.
Every win triggers a cascade, whereby existing symbols drop down to occupy any free spaces. New symbols then fall from above to refill the vacant spaces. Two to seven symbols are shown on reels one to six.
Choose either heads or tails for a chance to double your winnings. Each side has a 50 percent chance of winning. Betting on the correct coin side will multiply your winnings by two. Each consecutive win will continue to double your winnings until you have reached the maximum number of bets. An incorrect guess will end the gamble feature and you will lose your total wins gained from the triggering spin and any winnings from the active gamble feature.
Your previous winning gamble history is shown at the bottom of the window. You can continue playing the gamble feature until either you make an incorrect guess, you reach the maximum number of rounds, you reach the maximum win amount, or you click the collect button to end the gamble feature and collect your winnings. You are then returned to the main game and any credits you have won will be automatically added to your balance.
