The Expendables Megaways

Overview The Expendables Megaways Slots

The Expendables Megaways is a collaborative slot from the developers at StakeLogic and SkyRocket Entertainment which invites you to join some ageing mercenaries on an adventure where you will get to meet the stars of the Hollywood blockbuster movie of the same name. Complete with variable reels, reactive wins, cascading symbols, a free spin featuring with random increasing multipliers, bullet bonus round and low value symbols removal. If you manage to complete the mission with the help of Hale, Yin, Lee and Barney you stand to win 26,965x your bet which is not something you will want to miss.

How to Play

The slot plays out over 6-reels with up to 7-rows and a phenomenal 117,649 ways to win and is a cascading slot. You can play this slot over any device which gives you the freedom to play wherever you want. When it comes to placing your bet, you can choose from 0.20 credits up to 20.00 credits per spin, unless you activate the SuperStake, which doubles your bet size. This is a medium to high variance slot with a default setting of 96.02%.

Playing using the dynamic reels gives you 324 - 117,649 ways to win and this is determined completely at random for a spin one you select 2 – 7 symbols for your 1st and 6th reels as well as 2 – 6 symbols for your 2nd and 5th reels. The additional reel that sits at the top of your screen has four positions spanning reels 2 – 5 and this spins more symbols into view from each round giving you almost unlimited varieties of symbols and roads making each spin totally unique.
Wins pay from left to right and symbols that are part of a winning combination explode and are replaced by new symbols, this goes on all the time you land wins.

Play Symbols

You will see the usual playing card symbols from 10 through to Ace make up the lower paying symbols and these are then followed by the characters from the movie, Terry Crews as Hale, Dolph Lundgren as Gunner, Jet Li as Yin, Jason Statham as Lee and Sylvester Stallone as Barney. Barney is the most valuable and pays 12.5x your bet for landing six of the same symbol.

The wild is represented by an army dog tag and this can substitute for all the regular symbols and the scatter is represented by the skull. There is a meter where the bullet symbol collects and when five are added one of the features is activated.

Expendable Megaways Features

Although the three movies are not everyone’s cup of tea, they did take almost one billion at the box office, making it one of the most successful thriller franchises. The first decision you have to make is whether you trigger the SuperStakes as explained above and as well as doubling your bet you do get the chance to choose either a large random number of wild symbols added to your reels while the spin is in progress or alternatively one to five of the royal symbols are removed from your spin. If you see a bright diamond at the right hand corner this denotes that the feature is in play, but with any extras you should proceed with caution as I did not get enough time to clearly define whether it is worth the extra money.

The bullet bonus feature is the first you will notice, and you will see that there is a meter on the right to collect any bullets that land on you reels and once this is full the gun salvo is released and turns five random positions on your 2nd and 6th reels wild before your winnings are calculated and the meter then resets.

If you land 4, 5, 6 or 7 skull scatters at the end of your spin you will be rewarded with 12, 16 or 20 free spins with a x1 multiplier attached. This feature can be reactivated indefinitely and landing more scatters provides you with additional free spins with a progressive multiplier that increases by x1 after every winning cascade.

My favourite feature is the bonus round as symbols are removed and with every win you land with a card royal on a free spin see that royal removed for the rest of the feature. The removal is consecutive starting with the ten and the best thing is that once all the low payers are removed there are only the higher symbols, wilds and scatters making this the best time to score big wins.

Expendable Megaways Conclusion

SkyRocket is a media company that recently brought the rights to Rambo, Hercules and The Expendables as well as buying the independent studio The Games Company, and with StakeLogic they found a partner to make a great impact on their first licensed Megaways engine thanks to the characters of this highly successful movie franchise. The slot really impressed me with superb graphics and animations plus game play and features that are worthy of any superhero.
