Anime Mecha Megaways review

Theme and Style

With a title this descriptive, you probably already know if you like the theme of Anime Mecha Megaways. It does what it says on the oversized tin.

The style of a robot will immediately trigger nostalgia in fans of Gundam or the 90s Transformers cartoons. The music, art, and color palette all give a credible impression of those animated shows.

"Everyone loves a giant robot," is the principle on which Anime Mecha Megaways is built. If you are part of "everyone," this slot is for you.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The graphics are probably 90% of the reason a person might play this slot. The art style is an iconic pastiche of mecha anime and the Western cartoons they inspired.

The background is animated with futuristic flying cars floating above skyscrapers, while on the reels, each character has a simple win animation when it lands.

The music rips along at a frantic pace, its techno beats driving the action forward. The win and spin sounds match the tone.

All the front-end design works towards making players feel like they are part of a giant robot battle as they play.

Gameplay

Anime Mecha Megaways is a five-reel slot that uses the Megaways system. Megaways is a licenseable system that randomizes the number of symbols on each reel. This randomization is combined with an any way wins system, where wins are awarded for matching slots anywhere on consecutive reels (providing they start on reel one).

When combined with the any way wins system and the randomized reels, Megaways systems make every spin unique. Like a transforming robot, the number of win ways changes from spin to spin.

The maximum win on any given round of Anime Mecha Megaways is appropriately capped at a mega amount, specifically 40,000x the player's bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol can be used to create winning combinations by substituting for all other symbols except the Lightning and Scatter symbols.

The Lightning symbol triggers the Lightning Bolt Feature. When this happens, a random symbol is chosen, and all examples of it are replaced with Wilds with the exception of symbols on Reel 1.

The Scatter symbol is used to trigger the Free Spin bonus. To do so, the player must land at least four Scatters.

Four Scatters earns the player 10 free spins. Each additional Scatter increases that by four spins up to 40 spins for nine Scatters.

Before the Free Spin bonus begins, players have the option to gamble all their free spins against a chance to earn four additional spins. The player can do this as many times as they like until they hit 30 spins.

During the Free Spins round, each cascade increases a multiplier by one.

Hitting three or more Scatters during the Free Spin Bonus, earns the player an additional 4 spins.

All these rules mean that the Free Spin Bonus has a lot of moving parts and opportunities to increase one's winnings. This makes for thrilling gameplay and fast-paced action, when the bonus comes around.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player (RTP) of Anime Mecha Megaways is 96.09%, which is a little more than our yardstick for an average of roughly 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin.

Anime Mecha Megaways is a high-volatility slot. This combines with the reasonable RTP to make this game a pretty robust match for our preferred slot machine strategies.
