Tyrant King Megaways

Tyrant King Megaways Overview

Tyrant King Megaways by iSoftBet, contrary to what you might think, is based on the tyrannical lord of the Jurassic period. By this, we, of course, mean the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is the beast’s Latin name. Broken up into an English translation, this means Tyrant, Lizard, King. This game takes most of its aesthetic inspiration from the prehistoric mega reptiles that once walked this earth. This means that the slot feels a lot like many Jurassic Park themed slots. However, this game is unrelated to that franchise.

The features for this slot include a cascading reels feature. This feature is triggered every time that there is a win registered on the board. When activated, it removes the winning symbols from the board, replacing them with a new set from above. This gives players multiple chances to score wins from the same spin. This game also has a re-spins feature and a complicated free spins bonus that will be explained later in this review.

Theme and Symbols

Although not directly related to the Jurassic Park Franchise, this slot does a good job of copying some of the main elements in the characters and setting for the slot. You could almost forgive the designers and write this slot off as just another Dinosaur themed game until you notice that there are human characters also involved, which resemble the protagonists of the Hollywood hit. That being said, the graphics, dynamics and visuals for this slot are stunning, regardless of the inspiration.

The background for this slot is a magical land before time began. The base game’s background is a dense and muggy rainforest in which you can imagine many beasts live from the very small to the terrifyingly large. The background is somewhat magical, especially with the shafts of light poking through the dense forest canopy. The background changes, however, when you enter the various bonus features for this game. When these bonuses trigger, you are taken to an underground cave where great pools of lava burble menacingly all around.

The board for this game is a relatively simple construction that makes the symbols look like they have been encased in a layer of thick stone.

The symbols for this game are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying symbols are the 10, J, Q, K and A, styled in a prehistoric rock fashion. On the other hand, the more valuable symbols include the Pterodactyl, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Cavewoman, and Explorer. The explorer (the man wearing the Stetson-like hat) is the most valuable symbol on the reels. He pays out at a maximum of 50x the stake for the top combination. Finally, the special symbols are the T-Rex wild, which substitutes for all other symbols barring the scatter, and the dinosaur egg scatters, which triggers the free spins feature.

Game Play

Tyrant King Megaways is played on a 6-reel Megaways mechanic playing board. This means that between 2 and 7 symbols might appear on every reel with each spin. Players must land two or more matching symbols in paying combinations starting from the leftmost reel to score wins in this game.

The betting range for Tyrant King Megaways is 20p to £20 per spin. To adjust their bet levels, players can toggle their stake up and down using the tool located at the bottom left-hand side of the screen.

Further information, including a short tutorial and a display of the paytable, can be found via the menu button in the right-hand corner of the screen. The spin and auto spin buttons are located in the centre of the screen.
Volatility for this slot is rated around the medium to high range. The return to player percentage for Tyrant King Megaways is 95.99%, which is just under average. The biggest payout that players can win on one spin is 50,000x your current stake.

Features

The first feature in this game is the cascading reels mechanic. This feature is activated every time that you manage to create a win on the board. The successful symbols are removed from the board and replaced by new symbols from above. The cascades will continue until a new winning combination is not formed.

The next feature in this slot is the Wild Tyrant Re-spin feature. To activate this feature, players must land four or more wild symbols on the same spin. Doing so will award you with three re-spins on a new machine that comprises blanks and wilds. New wilds when they land grant you another re-spin. Filling a reel with wilds transforms it into a stacked multiplier wild.
Having exhausted your re-spins, the triggering wilds are then returned, and you go back to the base game. A payout calculation will follow, totalling the number of wilds you managed to land on the board during the feature. The higher the number, the greater the multiplier applied to your stake and the higher the payout.

Finally, we have the free spins game. Players need to land 4, 5 or 6 dinosaur egg scatters on the same spin to trigger this bonus. The more scatters that you land the feature with, the more free spins you are awarded. During the feature, an additional row will be added to the bottom of the grid. This increases the number of Megaways that are then available to play on. The maximum number of Megaways available in this game is 200,704.

In addition, this game also comes with an unlimited multiplier modifier. At the beginning of the spins, the multiplier is at 1x. However, with each cascade win, the multiplier grows by 1x. There is no upper limit to this multiplier value. When bonus symbols land, they grant players an extra spin. These are also unlimited in nature.
Finally, it is also still possible to trigger the re-spins feature from within this game.

Conclusion

With a terrific top payout, a fantastic selection of features and a truly engaging and exciting theme, Tyrant King Megaways has a lot to offer. However, the volatility is pretty high, so you may need to wait for a little to get some feature play. Overall, however, this is an entertaining game and worth a spin for any player looking for a good afternoon of easy gambling.
