How To Play Bandit Megaways Mobile Slot
We head to the Wild West in the Pragmatic Play Bandit Megaways slot game where you get up to 117,649 ways to win, Tumbling Reels, Free Spins with Win Multiplier and the chance to win up to 5,000x your bet.
This game adds to the many Wild West-themed slots in their collection, which includes The Dog House Dog or Alive and Wild West Gold, to name a few.
So, what makes this Bandit Megaways slot different? Well, for one, it’s a Megaways slot, which means you get 6 reels, and the number of symbols on each reel can change on any spin. You also get an extra horizontal reel across reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, offering up the chance for more wins.
Add in the Tumbling Reels and the potential for up to 500x multipliers, and there are a few reasons to play this game—or are there?
Tumbling Reels with up to 500x Multipliers
Like most Megaways slots online, this Bandit Megaways mobile slot contains Tumbling Reels, which, when you create a winning combination, will remove all winning symbols and drop in more for a second chance at creating wins. It’s a popular feature you’ll find in many online slots, including the non-Megaways games like the Candy Blast slot from Push Gaming.
It adds extra entertainment and action to your spins, and in this case is definitely needed to create any decent wins, as the paytable is filled with symbols that pay very little, especially for finding 3 or for from left to right.
What’s the reason for the low-value paytable? Multipliers from 2x up to 500x can randomly show up on any spin. Of course, they don’t show up that often, and when they do, especially in the base game, we found that they didn’t help create added wins.
In the free spins, though, these multipliers could potentially create some wins, but you’ll have to budget for around 400 or so base game spins to actually trigger them unless you’re willing to gamble 100x your current bet to trigger them. (we wouldn’t).
Bandit Megaways Free Spins with Win Mutliplier
You’ll need to land 4 or more scatters to trigger 15+ free spins. A Free Spins bonus where the Multiplier symbols seem to show up more often, and in this case, all dynamite multiplier symbols that are part of a win are collected into the total win multiplier.
As you can imagine, this win multiplier can increase quite quickly to a high number especially if you’re lucky enough to land some high value multpliers.
However, there’s a twist: the total win multiplier is only used to multiply a win when you get a win with a multiplier symbol. This can limit your wins, which is disappointing, to say the least.
You can trigger more free spins by landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters, each providing an extra 15, 20, 25, or 30 free spins, respectively. It’s not easy, but you’ll need them to get any big wins here, it seems.
Overall, it’s a slot that promises some good mechanics but fails to deliver the big wins, yet the gunslinger at the side of the reels is entertaining, at least.
