Crystal Caverns Megaways review

Theme and Storyline

Crystal Caverns Megaways is themed around a cave filled with precious gems.

Players will enter a cave illuminated by enchanting jewels. As they explore the eerie world, they’ll try to snag as many of the brightly-hued crystals as possible.

Fans of other gem slots will enjoy this fantastical take on the classic theme.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack has a magical quality with tinkling notes that bring to mind drifting fairy dust. The reels spin and land with a clicking sound that gives the gameplay a tactile feel.

On the reels, players find shimmering emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and amethysts. The animation of each gem effectively shows their depth and cut, making them look more alluring.

Sharp-eyed players will notice each symbol is framed with subtle, ornate designs. This contributes to the fantasy vibe of this slot.

Behind the reels, players will see a mysterious cave with stalactites hanging from the ceiling and walls covered in sparkling crystals. Light flashes across the surface of these stones, showing off the good quality animation.

Overall, the soundtrack and graphics create a mystical world of gems.

Gameplay

Crystal Caverns Megaways uses the Megaways system, meaning that the number symbols in each reel is randomised for each spin.

Wins are awarded for landing matching symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel and going towards the rightmost reel.

The Cascade feature means that symbols that form winning combinations vanish so that new symbols may drop into their positions.

If players choose, they can buy directly into the Free Spins feature (see further details of the feature below).

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol.

If Wild symbols land anywhere besides the top row, it will expand until it fills the reel vertically.

After each cascade during the base game, a win multiplier will increase. The multiplier will then be applied to players’ winnings. After a cascade sequence ends, the win multiplier resets.

When players land 4 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, the Free Spins feature begins. The number of free spins awarded depends on the number of Scatter symbols that trigger the feature:

• 4 Scatters – 12 free spins
• 5 Scatters – 16 free spins
• 6+ Scatters – 20 free spins

The Free Spins feature begins with a win multiplier of x1, which then increases with each cascade.

If players land 3 or more Scatters during the Free Spins feature, they are awarded 5 additional free spins.
