Stargate Megaways™

The branded slot Stargate Megaways™ is based on the discovery of an ancient gateway in modern-day Egypt. The gateway creates a stable wormhole based on advanced technology that teleports users to other planets with a similar gate.

After unlocking the gate's secrets, Professor Spader and retired army colonel Jack O'Neil travel through it. They end up in a world resembling ancient Egypt ruled by a cruel being revered as a God named Ra. The Professor, Jack, and his team must liberate the human inhabitants by overthrowing Ra and returning to earth.

Stargate nerds will immediately recognize the Stargate 'Ring,' encircling the playing area. It's evident that the creators of this game at SG Digital are true fans of Stargate.

The paytable starts with the highest paying symbol of Ra (played by Jaye Davidson) with a 10x payout. It's followed by Dr Daniel Jackson (James Spader) and Colonel O'Neil (Kurt Russel). Medium payout symbols show Ra's regenerating sarcophagus and his pyramid-shaped spaceship. For the lower-valued paying symbols, the provider went with 6 standard royals A-9.

Aside from regular paying symbols, the game features 2 special symbols:

• A golden amulet with the Eye of Ra that acts as a wild symbol

• An Eye of Ra symbol used to reset a free spin reset counter

Stargate Megaways™ has a maximum payout of 25,000x – a sizeable potential score! Still, you might prefer adventures closer to home. In that case, The Great Pigsby Megapays™ is a parody of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. It has a porky payout that can reach 20,000x bet!

The theoretical return to player (RTP) of Stargate Megaways™ is 96.07%. However, when using the Buy Pass™ feature, the RTP varies between 96.13% to 96.89%, depending on the segment activated.

As with most Megaways™ slots, the game has higher volatility, which means the game carries an overall higher risk. However, it also has the potential to pay larger amounts of money.

Stargate Megaways™ online slot is available at many of our recommended casinos. The game is straightforward to play. First, adjust the bet size (£0.20 - £10) to your desired value by using the + and – buttons on the right side of the playing area. When ready to spin the reels, simply click the big green button to the bottom right of the playing area.

You can also activate automatic play if you wish by clicking on the button on the right side of the playing area. Adjust the number of auto spins to 5, 25, 50, or 100. You'll also have the option of setting a stop loss or a stop on a single win over predetermined values from respective pulldown menus. When done, click on 'Start' to begin.

A 4-symbol reel above the main play area's vertical reels 2-5 spin in tandem. Each vertical reel can produce 2-7 symbols independent of one another, producing up to 117,649 Megaways™ in any given round. Winning symbols must appear on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost position.

A common Megaways™ feature is the cascading wins. Each spin gives you the chance to get more than one winning combination. Symbols that are part of a combination explode, leaving room for the symbols above to fall. New symbols quickly fill the empty spaces, resulting in another cascade(s).

You can see a 'Trail' (counter) divided into nine segments to the left of the reels. With each winning cascade, a marker moves one step up. If there are no other winning cascades, the game round ends, and the trail resets to 1. If you reach segment five, a random game modifier activates:

• Random Wilds: Adds up to 6 random wild symbols on reels 2-5

• Expanded Reels: The reels expand to produce more symbols & Megaways™

• Wild Reel: A reel chosen from reels 2-5 is stacked with wild symbols

• Mystery Symbols: A Stargate overlay changes symbols into the same one

• Regenerate: All symbols are removed for a re-spin

Reaching segments seven, eight, and nine activates a bonus game:

• Segment 7 awards 5 free spins

• Segment 8 awards 6 free spins

• Segment 9 awards 7 free spins

Before the free spins start, you're presented with 15 doors, of which you can select seven. Behind these doors, you can find game modifiers activated during the free spins.

• Between 1 to 25 additional free spins

• A multiplier on all wins

• Increasing way wins on each spin

• The 'Eye of Ra,' which resets the free spin counter

• Random cash prizes of between 5x and 1,000x bet

• Extra wild symbols on the top reel

• Expanding wild symbols on reels 2-5

Aside from these free spins and modifiers, Stargate Megaways™ also has a wild symbol in the shape of a golden amulet, which can stand in for other symbols to create winning combinations.

Stargate Megaways™ Buy Pass™

Players who don't want to wait for the bonus game to start can opt to buy the game modifier or the free spins, provided they are not residents in the UK. Four different options are available, each with a different cost attached. With the buy option, you can jump directly to 'Trail' sections 5, 7, 8, or 9.

• Trail section 5 costs 31.5x bet

• Trail section 7 costs 45.5 bet

• Trail section 8 costs 72.5x bet

• Trail section 9 costs 123.5x bet

Stargate Megaways™ slot as a standalone 25,000x bet max payout makes a compelling proposition on its own. Still, being based on a cult classic doesn't hurt either, particularly for players who watched the movie or spinoff series.

The Stargate encompassing the playing area reminds us of the swooshing sound of the movie & TV show as the gate connected to an off-world gate. It's also great to see Kurt Russell and James Spader from the movie appear in the slot. The geek in us wished that they managed to work in Teal'c (Christopher Judge) from the Stargate TV series.

We especially liked how the unpredictability of the slot's Trail feature (rich with modifiers) mirrored the Stargate's unpredictability. All-in-all, this Megaways™ is a must-play in our book!
