Spicy Meatballs Megaways review

Theme and Storyline

Spicy Meatballs Megaways is themed around an Italian kitchen.

Players smell delicious pasta dishes cooking as they arrive in a busy Italian restaurant kitchen. With every element of the stove blazing, they’ll have to keep a sharp eye on what’s cooking.

This slot is a good fit for foodies and players in the mood for a wholesome atmosphere.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The ambient sounds players will hear include sauce bubbling, knives chopping, and meat sizzling. Upon spins, a cheerful Italian tune plays, adding to the bustling restaurant atmosphere.

The reels are built into a beautiful metallic gold stove with pots bubbling on the elements at the top. The kitchen appliances have an attractive vintage look that’s easy to imagine appearing in an old-fashioned Italian restaurant.

On the reels, players will see an array of vegetables, including green and blue peppers and deep purple eggplants. The standout dish is the flaming meatball which appears especially enticing. It would have been fun to see a few more traditional Italian foods appear among the symbols, since there are so many to choose from.

Behind the reels, a steamy kitchen with plenty of pans and crates of produce is visible. The heat is palpable, and it's easy to imagine how flushed a chef might become while working over the stove.

Overall, the animation and soundtrack create a welcoming Italian kitchen atmosphere.

Gameplay

Spicy Meatballs Megaways uses the megaways system which randomizes the number and size of symbols that appear after each spin.

Players are awarded wins for landing matching symbols in adjacent reels. Winning combinations are calculated starting from the leftmost reel.

The Cascade feature means that symbols in winning combinations vanish to make way for new symbols to fall into their place from above.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild Hat symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Wild Meatball symbol. The Wild Hat symbol appears on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The Wild Meatball symbol is added from one of the four pots above the central reels, and it substitutes for every symbol.

When Wild Meatballs land, they come with a displayed multiplier, and this increases for every row a Wild Meatball moves down.

Wild Meatballs remain on screen throughout Cascades until they are removed at the bottom reel, or until no more wins are possible.

The Free Spins feature begins when 5 or more Cascades take place in sequence. Players are awarded 8 free spins and an additional free spin for each Cascade beyond the fifth.

The Free Spins feature always begins with a Wild Meatball, and Wild Meatball multipliers carry over from the game that triggered the feature.

If at least 5 Cascades occur during the Free Spins feature, players are awarded 4 additional free spins as well as an additional free spin for any Cascades after the fifth.
