You cannot expect Big Time Gaming to totally revolutionize the whole iGaming industry on every release, but even their “shelf-filler” titles are way above the run-of-the-mill stuff we see tons of every month. Kingmaker Fully Loaded Megaways is the sister installment toKingmaker Megaways, and it will appeal more to high risk/reward punters than the more “safe” regular version.
The gradually building base game symbol multipliers have been replaced by bouncy and random multipliers that can go as high as x99 on any given spin. This makes for a much more unpredictable thrill-ride in the idyllic medieval setting, but you cannot improve the combined global multiplier in the bonus round. The RTP has been lowered a tad, and the volatility is higher, but you get a 3 times more solid32,400xpotential in this version.
There are4 gemstone premium symbols, and these are also represented by different color banners on the left-hand side. Each gem comes with a unique emblem that’s also depicted on the banners, and the 3 lower tier gems pay 0.5x, 0.6x and 0.7x your stake for 5-oak. The top-tier purple dragon gem pays 10x for the same in comparison.
Themulticolored Wildincludes colors for all 4 Kingdoms, and it can appear on reels 2 to 5 only. The wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you complete wins, and it holds no value of its own.
In this Fully Loaded version, each gemstone banner gets assigned with arandom multiplier between x1 and x99 per spin. This multiplier applies to wins with each specific gemstone, and this random multiplier system is only active in the base game.
Landing3, 4 or 5 scattersawards7, 12 or 20 free spins, respectively, and you can retrigger the Bonus Round with extra spins the exact same way. In addition, you get ascatter win up front of 4x, 20x or 250x your stakefor 3, 4 or 5 triggering scatters, respectively. The 4 current gem multipliers are then summed up, and this becomes yourglobal multiplierthat applies to all wins in the bonus round.
We had a pretty good time testing Kingmaker Fully Loaded Megaways, and we had our test run of Slot Vegas Fully Loaded Megaquads fresh in mind. We have put together a short and edited highlights video for you as usual, and you can check it all out by hitting the play button below.
The appeal of the Fully Loaded version is the increased randomness. Any given bonus round can trigger with a multiplier up to x99 x 4 = x396. Of course, the opposite is also true, and waiting a long time only to get a low-level multiplier feature is not all that fun. It can make or break your session in other words, while the regular version compensates your patience by building ever-higher multipliers.
It boils down to preference really, or perhaps what kind of mood you’re in. It’s good to have options either way though, and Kingmaker Fully Loaded Megaways might be your best bet if you simply want to grind towards a single bonus round trigger to try your luck. The increased unpredictability is something certain players will enjoy for sure, but you pay the price in terms of increased volatility. The32,400xpotential is more than tripled though, which seems like pretty fair compensation.
Pros
Cons
Kingmaker Megaways- is the regular version from BTG, and it’s all about increasing the gem multipliers by landing 5-oak wins. The multipliers have no upper limit, and they are summed up to become the global multiplier in the bonus round. The reels are maxed out per free spin, and the multiplier keeps increasing by +1 per 5-oak gem win. The max win is only 10,000x in this version though.
Slot Vegas Megaquads- is the regular version of BTG’s similar concept spun around a trip to Sin City. You’ll build symbol multipliers by landing premium wins also here, and these are summed up to become the global multiplier in the bonus round. This game comes with a very solid 45,000x potential though, which is something to consider.
Slot Vegas Fully Loaded Megaquads- comes with the same 4 reelsets setup, and rainbow wilds can merge opposing grids so you get 65,536 win ways. The premiums come with random multipliers up to x100, and these combine when the bonus round is triggered. The grids can merge totally in the feature, and you can win up to 31,200x your stake.
