More Turkey Megaways

A four-position Extra Reel sitting above reels two through five is the mechanic that sets More Turkey Megaways apart from the rest of Big Time Gaming's holiday-themed catalogue, dropping additional symbols onto the main grid and pushing the number of ways to win toward its ceiling of 117,649. The setting is a red barn farmyard in harvest season, pumpkins scattered around a sunlit clearing, with live turkeys standing in for the more morbid alternative some Thanksgiving slots go with.

Wins land on a six-reel grid, matching symbols left to right regardless of row height, with no requirement to line up on fixed positions. Reactions follow every win: paying symbols clear off the reels, replacements drop down from above on the main grid or in from the side on the Extra Reel, and the process keeps going as long as fresh combinations keep appearing. The paytable runs 9 to A card ranks as the low end, worth 0.8x to 1.75x the bet across six matching symbols, stepping up to four bird symbols worth 2x to 50x for the same count. The wild only appears on the Extra Reel and substitutes for everything except the scatter.

Scatters — cooked birds — can land on any of the main reels, and landing three awards 8 Free Spins, with four extra spins added for every scatter beyond the third. Before the round starts, a Gamble Wheel offers the chance to push the total as high as 24 Free Spins, or the option to bank the current total and go straight into the spins. Once inside the feature, a progressive multiplier starts at x1 and climbs by one after every reaction, so long chains compound quickly. The Extra Reel keeps working through the bonus too: landing 3 or 4 scatters there adds a further 4 or 8 Free Spins on top of whatever the round already has.

Buying in costs 40 times the stake for an instant 8 Free Spins, and the purchase carries the same Gamble Wheel option as a natural trigger, so a bought round can still be pushed higher before it begins.

Big Time Gaming built this one on a highly volatile math model with two RTP settings — 96.42% for standard play and 96.54% when the bonus is bought — topping out at a 24,236x win ceiling. Betting spans 0.20 up to 40 a spin. Between the Extra Reel's added symbols, chained reactions, and a multiplier that only grows across a spin, the swings arrive in bursts rather than a steady drip-feed, in keeping with the high-volatility rating.
