Branded Megaways

Branded Megaways™ is a concept that was developed by gaming provider Iron Dog Studio in 2020, which allows its casino partners to brand a Megaways™ slot in their own unique style. This can include imagery from their casino such as logos, mascots or symbols. Through having this opportunity, it has enabled online casinos to have their very own specific and exclusive Megaways™ Slot.

Typically a Branded Megaways™ title will come with a 6 reel set up, where rows of symbols 2 - 7 in height will appear on them. This factored in with the Megaways™ mechanic, allows the slot to produce between 64 - 117,649 paylines on any spin. In-game features also play a huge part in how these slots operate, and our guide to these games will explain how the bonuses and modifiers work in more detail, as well as listing all current Megaways™ Branded Slots that are available to play on the market.

Features On Branded Megaways™ Slots

Due to a Branded Megaways™ slot having a generic format , the features that you will find incorporated within them will be the same on any that you play, at any online casino. Iron Dog Studio opted for this particular format and in-game mechanics, due to the popularity of their game Pirates Kingdom Megaways™. It is in fact this slot that the Branded titles are all based on, so if you've played it before, then you'll soon release the branded versions are just clones of it. Below you can find out more about these in-game features.

Cascading Reels

Whilst being extremely popular within Megaways™ titles themselves, a Branded Megaways™ game will always feature the cascading reel mechanic. This not only helps you to create additional chances to win from your initial spin of the reels, it is also the main contributor to triggering the free spin bonus on any Branded title.

Regardless of which casino that you are playing at, you will see that there are 4 stars positioned to the right hand side of the reels. Each of these stars represents a successful reel cascade ( win reaction ) and lighting 4 of these in a row will start the bonus round and award you with 8 free spins. Every win reaction that you achieve after the initial 4, will add an extra 2 free spins on to you starting total.

Free Spins Feature & Locked Reels

Reels that land with 7 symbols displayed during the free spins, will lock into place for the remainder of the bonus round

A winning formula that Iron Dog Studio struck with Pirates Kingdom, was the locking reel that can be activated during the free spin bonus round. This has been carried over to all Branded Megaways™ games, and presents players with the one of the best opportunities to hit a substantial win, if enough of them can be locked in. So how do you get them to lock in place you may ask?

Well, you'll need a reel to land with the maximum amount of symbols possible on it. This is of course 7 as well talked about earlier in the layout and format of the slot. When this occurs, then the reel will be highlighted, your win multiplier will increase by a further x1, and all remaining spins in the bonus round will see reels that are highlighted and locked, land with a guaranteed 7 symbols on them.

It goes without saying that the more reels that you can lock in, the higher the amount of Megaways™ you will be playing with on each spin. This in turn has a positive knock on effect, as the more wins that you can create, the higher your win multiplier will increase. You'll also be in with a chance of a re-trigger too. Completing 4 consecutive reel cascades during the bonus round will award 2 extra spins, with each cascade thereafter adding one additional spin.

Unlimited Win Multiplier

Each successful win reaction that is achieved in the free spin bonus will increase your win multiplier by x1

An unlimited win multiplier comes into play during the free spin bonus round on any Branded Megaways™ Slot. There are two ways in which you can increase the value of this multiplier to give yourself a better chance of hitting some big wins. The first and most common way to build up the value is through creating successful win reactions, with each one that you achieve adding an extra x1 to your multiplier. The second way, is through a reel locking in when all 7 positions are filled with symbols, as we mentioned in the previous section of this guide.

Bonus Buy

All Branded Megaways™ Slot feature a bonus buy option

If you are playing a Branded Megaways™ Slot from a region that still allows bonus buys, then you'll be able to gain instant access to the free spin feature on any branded title that you play. There are various levels of entry that you purchase as we have highlighted for you below.

6 Free Spins & no locked reels = 30x stake
8 Free Spins & no locked reels = 50x stake
10 Free spins & no locked reels = 100x stake

6 Free Spins & 1 locked reel = 50x stake
8 Free Spins & 1 locked reel = 80x stake
10 Free Spins & 1 locked reel - 130x stake

Expert Overview

With Megaways™ showing no signs of slowing up in its popularity, it kind of makes sense for an online casino to jump on to the bandwagon and get their very own unique title to offer to their players. Iron Dog Studio have shown some outstanding business acumen by identifying this gap in the market, and offering their product to a long line of waiting customers.

What makes the branded slots even better, is that the concept of the game is actually quite good and Iron Dog have pretty much based their entire Megaways™ catalogue to date on that format. There have been slight variations to it in games like 1 Million Megaways™ BC and Megaways™ Jack, but overall it's a tried and tested method that players seem to enjoy, and these games in our opinion are always worth a few spins.
