Curse of the Werewolf Megaways Slot

Curse of the Werewolf Megaways is a highly sophisticated video slot which employs the Megaways technology that works as a reel modifier. On every spin, it randomly changes the number of symbols in every column, so any given reel can host between 2 and 6 symbols. Respectively, this process makes the slot alter the number of Megaways on every spin. The maximum possible number of Megaways appears when every reel hosts 6 icons: this is 46,656. The actual number of Megaways created in any given spin is always shown on a Megaways counter. To figure out the scale of possible payouts, players need to look at betting options and paytable. The video slot accepts between $0.10 and $100 per spin. There are ten non-feature symbols including five playing cards from 10 to A, four villagers and Werewolf. They pay when matching icons land on at least 3 neighboring reels starting from the leftmost one. Cards pay x0.1 to x1 the stake, villagers offer between x0.2 and x5 the stake and the Werewolf pays x5 to x10. These low payouts are made into generous wins due to the math behind Megaways. For example, landing 12 werewolves on reels 1–3 (three on reel 1, five on reel 2 and four on reel 4) generates as many as 3x5x4=60 Megaways. Multiplied by the 3-Werewolf combo award in the paytable (x1), the payout will amount to x60 the stake ($6,000 at max bet). To improve its winning capacity, the slot machine uses a wild symbol which can appear on reels 2–6. It substitutes for any regular icon but cannot replace a scatter, Mystery symbol or an Attacking Werewolf symbol. Wilds pay no awards in this game. The animated howling game logo is a scatter. Scatters appear on any reel during the base game and award up to 15 free spins. When scatters hit the reels during free spins, they may award up to 10 extra free spins.

The Mystery symbol is one of many images of the Werewolf used in the slot machine. Although looking scary, it is pretty safe for online casino visitors and even kind to them. When Mystery symbols hit in the base game, they do what any normal werewolf would do: they all transform into a randomly selected regular symbol of a kind, and these newly emerged symbols earn a respective win as per the paytable. The feature works in a quite beneficial way because Mystery symbols tend to come in large packs, thus generating many identical icons on adjacent reels and, respectively, more Megaways.

This quick bonus feature offers two types of reel modifiers that enrich player’s experience. Both may trigger at any base spin and produce two different and lucrative outcomes. It either generates stacks of high-paying icons or makes reels and symbols arrange in a way which guarantees a massive win on multiple Megaways. These features are almost invisible to the player – they occur unexpectedly but can lead to very good profits.

Landing 3+ scatters during the base game gives start to free spins. Depending on the number of scatters in the triggering spin, the slot machine awards 8, 10, 12 or 15 FS. The Werewolf symbol acting as a regular icon in the base game becomes an Attacking Werewolf during the feature. When it hits the reels, it takes 1 to 5 lives (health points) of any villager. If the Attacking Werewolf manages to take 5 villager’s lives, this villager transforms into the Attacking Werewolf till the end of the round, thus more werewolves appear on the reels. Besides, one additional free spin is awarded. As soon as the Attacking Werewolf pays an award (x0.5 to x10), the more Werewolves land, the higher payout the player earns. In the best case scenario, the developer promises a win amounting to nearly x41,000 the stake. Of course, this huge win turns into a fortune if the online casino game is played for real money. Extra free spins can also be awarded by scatters: landing 2+ scatters during free spins adds 2 to 10 extra free spins. The Attacking Werewolf can appear during extra FS as well. All in all, it is an exciting feature offering a chance to hit a really big win. Besides, it has a great soundtrack made in the best traditions of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

The slot machine is equipped with a Bonus Buy option. It lets one play free spins and benefit from their enormous earning capacity immediately. It costs x100 the total bet. On a dark side of the feature, there is uncertainty regarding the number of free spins it awards. Although it always takes a firm price of x100 the current stake, it generates a random number of scatters to activate the bonus feature, thus giving away 8, 10, 12 or 15 free spins.
